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

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

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Exactly as described. I spent about $50/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was varied.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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

Hmm, I had a different experience. When I went, prices were about the same but quality was different.

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

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. Recommend for both beginners and veterans.

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