Quick question for the Hong Kong & Macau regulars — has anything changed in the last few months?

I was there 6 months ago and had a great time but I've heard prices have gone up.

Worth going back or should I try somewhere new?

Cheers

This is outdated info IMO.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

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

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

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

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