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

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

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

Great report! Quick question — how was the wifi at your hotel?

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

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.

My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.

One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

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

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

Great report! Quick question — how was the ATM situation?

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

Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.

My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.

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