Novelty factorHigh — genuine "somewhere else"Lower — resort-standard
Kukup lands SGD 65 under the cap; Pulai Springs runs SGD 112 over it, once meals, drinks and evening activities are itemised. The coach journey is now a wash — both run ~90 minutes — so Pulai's lower accommodation cost is the only thing still pulling in its favour.
