I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?

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

Great report! Quick question — how was the wifi at your hotel?

Been going there for years and this is accurate. The scene has improved recently.

Thanks for sharing. Did you use freelancers or find girls at bars?

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

Good info. I'd add that the evening is the best time to go.

I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was good.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.
