Visited Mexico for 10 days. Great experience. Scene is as described. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $102/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 7.5/10. One of my favourites.
AMA.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 9/10 destination.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.
