Can confirm. Was there 2 weeks ago and everything you said checks out.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.

Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in pre-COVID.

Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.

Still a great destination. One of my top 3 worldwide.

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

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

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

I was there in February and can add some detail:

Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $80/day on the hobby side.

Girls: Mostly locals. Quality was good.

My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.

One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.

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