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

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

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: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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