Htm mahal banget perorang 25k engga sebanding sama infrastruktur sama viewnya sebagian besar biasa saja. Apalagi beli makan diwarung mahal g ngotak. 1 porsi udang asam manis bisa digetok harga 95k. Mahal gpp kalau sebanding dengan kualitas rasa ataupun kuantitas. Kalau pengen makan lebih baik bawa dari rumah. Saran aja kalau kesini viewnya mayan bagus dari pintu masuk ke jalan satu arah lurus terus sampai agak naik bukit disana mayan bagus viewnya daripada yang deket pintu masuk view kapal jejer doang
