Visited General Information for 12 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $137/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 8/10. One of my favourites.

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

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

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.

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

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

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 book your hotel in advance.
