Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was an agency I found online.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try negotiating.

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