We tried the Garuda (Dewa) lounge, end of October. The place was packed solid. They told us there was room upstairs, but with dad's bad knees we decided it would be too hard for him going up and down to get food and drinks. They then wanted to squish us in sharing a lounge and table with someone else. No thanks. Also, some very loud and rather obnoxious people went in just ahead of us and we could see kids running riot in there.
We were going to try the Prada lounge but spoke to three girls coming out of there who said that one was packed too and the hadn't been able to get in - they were planning on trying the Dewa one.
Personally, I don't think the Premier lounge is worth the US$25 they want to get in. Certainly not worth $75 for the three of us. I used it August last year and the food was much the same as the Dewa lounge. Though the place was nearly empty (probably due to the price - I got in free with my Jetstar ticket at the time).
We just found a nice cafe and sat there with drinks and snacks and it worked out cheaper than we'd have paid for the Dewa lounge anyway.
