Visited Mexico for 12 days. Great experience. Scene is as described. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $75/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 7.5/10. One of my favourites.

Great report! Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

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

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

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

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