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

Solid advice. I'd rate my experience similarly.

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

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

Interesting report but I think you may have overpaid. Next time try asking locals for recommendations.

Agreed on all points. One thing I'd add — make sure to book your hotel in advance.

I was there in February and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $100/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was a place recommended by another member here.
One tip: Avoid weekends if you want better prices.

Great report! Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
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.
