I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

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

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

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

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.

My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.
