Yes, I start to be tired of that also.
I think we should make a list of all foreigners/expat non friendly places in Indonesia and boycott them.
Really?
Resorts might have different pricing for expats, but bear in mind that there are around 140 islands in Kepulauan Seribu - and some are destinations that do not have price difference to expats.
My suggestion, use local public transportation/boat to islands in Kepulauan Seribu - they will bring you to places that do not have price differences - off the beaten track worth-visited places that are not even there in Lonely Planet guide book .
as my first message.
