Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try going during the week.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

This matches my experience. Puerto Vallarta/Guadalajara is underrated.

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

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 competition means better service.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.
