How's the daytime scene there compared to Colombia?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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

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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.
