Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2024.
Biggest change: More girls working online now.
Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

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

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

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

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

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to bring small bills.

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 above average.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

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