Visited Mexico for 5 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $128/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8.5/10. Exceeded expectations.
AMA.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use the local sites or find girls online?

Great report! Quick question — how was the Uber availability?

I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.
