Visited Mexico for 12 days. Great experience. Scene is improved. Pricing fair.
Spent $143/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 9/10. One of my favourites.
AMA.
Premium experiences in Mexico — worth the money?

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Slightly higher than reported. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: International mix. Quality was above average.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Go early in the evening for first pick.

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

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 get a local SIM.

Adding to this thread with my own experience from 3 weeks ago:
I noticed some changes 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.

Great report! Quick question — how was the wifi at your hotel?

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found a different neighborhood to be better.
