This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

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

I was there in January and prices were great value.
Spent about $93/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at clubs?
