Visited Mexico for 12 days. Great experience. Scene is active. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $56/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 7.5/10. One of my favourites.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

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

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

I was there in February and prices were great value.
Spent about $132/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.
