Nice report. I'm heading there next month and this is exactly the intel I needed.

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?

How long did it take you to find the good spots?

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

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were lower.

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: Some of the old spots have closed.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.

I was there in early March 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 a place recommended by another member here.

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