Quick question for the Indonesia regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?
I was there in 2024 and had a great time but I've heard things are quieter than usual.
Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?
Cheers

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

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

I was there in January and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $77/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.

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