Visited Photo Gallery for 10 days. Great experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $98/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 9/10. One of my favourites.

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

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $74/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: avoid weekends.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $95/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.
