Visited Ecuador for 5 days. Solid experience. Scene is as described. Pricing fair.
Spent $110/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 9/10. Would return.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $96/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $84/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

Excellent write-up. This is why this forum is the best resource out there.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.
