I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $123/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

I'd also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

I was there in February and prices were great value.
Spent about $139/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: avoid weekends.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

Been going for years. The scene has shifted a bit but still good.
