Visited Photo Gallery for 10 days. Great experience. Scene is as described. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $107/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 9/10. Would return.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

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

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.
