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

Did you feel safe walking around at night?

Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience when I was there last month.

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.

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

I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2023.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.

Girls: International mix. Quality was above average.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

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. One of my top 3 worldwide.

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