Returned from Puerto Vallarta/Guadalajara last week. 2 weeks trip, visited late February 2026.
Arrival and first impressions: Taxi from airport was straightforward. Checked into my hotel near Guadalajara Centro.
Day 1-2: Explored the area, got the lay of the land. Found the local spots quickly.
Days 3-5: Met some great girls. The Guadalajara Centro area was busy but manageable.
Prices: 1500-3000 MXN. Some room for negotiation.
Tips for others: Bring cash.
Would I go back? Absolutely.

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

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: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

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

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

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

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

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 excellent.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.
