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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Better quality overall.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use a dating app or find girls at bars?

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

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