How's the food there compared to the Philippines?

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

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

Excellent write-up. This is why I love this forum — real, actionable information.

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

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a small bar off the main strip.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has shifted a bit recently.
