I was there in early March and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.

Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.

Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

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

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

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