I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was varied.

My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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

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

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

How's the daytime scene there compared to Germany?

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

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: More girls working online now.

Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

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