This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

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

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $82/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

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

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