Just returned from 9 days in Hong Kong & Macau. Great trip overall.
Stayed near the main area, hotel was about $40/night. Clean and close to everything.
The scene is busy. Prices ranged from a bit higher than expected compared to my last visit.
Girls were friendly and attractive. I had 5 encounters over the trip.
Food was cheap and delicious. Found some amazing local restaurants.
Will definitely be back. Happy to answer questions.

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

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

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Excellent write-up. This is why this forum is the best resource out there.

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

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $90/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.
