Good info. I'd add that the morning is the best time to go.

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

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

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

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