Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at clubs?

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $149/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
