This is outdated info IMO.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

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

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

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $111/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

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

I was there in February and prices were great value.
Spent about $50/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.
