Better than expected — plenty of options. Prices were fair for the quality.
Quality:
Girls were friendly and attractive overall. Had 9 encounters total.
Logistics:
Public transport is good enough. Found great local restaurants.
Safety:
No issues at all.
Overall: 8/10. Solid choice, will be back.
Happy to answer any questions.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The value for money is what keeps me coming back.

Also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.

Adding my experience: scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

I was there in January and prices were about average. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.
