Visited Mexico for 7 days. Great experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.

Spent $143/day. Best part: variety.

Overall: 8/10. Solid destination.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.

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

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

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

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/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.
