I was there in January and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Weekdays are quieter and better.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. Solid 7/10.

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

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

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to download an offline map.
