Visited Mexico for 10 days. Great experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.

Spent $127/day. Best part: GFE quality.

Overall: 8.5/10. Solid destination.

How long did it take you to learn the routine?

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were lower.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:

I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Good info. I'd add that the evening is the best time to go.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was above average.

My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Late night you get the best deals.
