Quieter but worthwhile. Prices up slightly.

GFE was next level.

Happy to answer questions.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $88/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

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

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

I was there in March and prices were great value.
Spent about $101/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.
