Great report! Quick question — how was the wifi at your hotel?

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

Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything you said checks out.

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

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

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

How's the daytime scene there compared to the Philippines?

Thanks for sharing. Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found downtown to be better.

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

This matches my experience. Puerto Vallarta/Guadalajara is one of my favorites.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.
