This matches my experience. Puerto Vallarta/Guadalajara is great value for money.

How long did it take you to find the good spots?

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 $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to get a local SIM.
