Thanks for sharing. Did you use freelancers or find girls at bars?

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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has stayed consistent recently.

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

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

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

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

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

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