Adding to this thread with my own experience from February:
I noticed some changes since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More competition means better service.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in pre-COVID.
Biggest change: Some of the old spots have closed.

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try going during the week.

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found the outskirts to be better.

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

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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

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

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