How long did it take you to find the good spots?

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

Great report! Quick question — how was the Uber availability?

Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience when I was there last month.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use a dating app or find girls at clubs?

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

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