This is the best, most relevant post I've read in a long time. I visited TJ last month and am visiting again in January. I plan on applying the lessons you are describing. Thank you Obi-Wan!!

There is still construction, but it has moved a bit further to the east - past Adelita''s. As for walking around, I never experienced any issues but was really careful. Previous posts about the policia made me nervous. I did circle the HK block once, but sort of confined myself to visiting Bar Tropical and Oxxo (in the alley). I just didn't want to take chances.

Thank you for sharing. I'm visiting TJ in 10,days and this is important to know. It's been several years since my last visit and I never had any fear of walking around before. I'm definitely going to have to readjust my behavior. Looks like I'm staying at Resort Cascadas more! Not a bad place to be confined!

I appreciate all of your feedback. I haven't been to TJ in 7 years. I never had an issue walking around before. I even walked back and forth from Hotel Ticuan to HK. Are the bar fines all pretty similar/the same at the smaller clubs? BTW - Ron, I have read your detailed posts. They are great! I plan on re-reading them. In particular, your Spanish tutorial is fantastic. I speak some Spanish and thought I was decent, but I read how you suggested saying similar things. It was vastly different. I plan on attempting a post when I return. You set a high bar!

Thanks for the info. I do plan on staying at Cascadas. Since I'm staying there, there's really no point venturing to the Chicago Club. One, the caution needed to just walk over there, but also because I'm not going to pay for a room there when I have one at Cascadas. Traveling solo, any concerns about walking around the neighborhood? I'll definitely not going to carry much cash. But, I do want to check out some of the street girls, grab stuff at the pharmacy, etc...

Thank you Devl! I've reserved my room and can't wait for my trip. The VIP card is a great deal!

Thanks OP! So, grab the card at HK, then go reserve a room? Or, do I have to reserve the room online?

Jascoi - thanks for the information!

Thanks! Texas is great, but when traveling I take advantage of the location. This time it's NYC.

Thank you for the explanation! The whole "bar fine" thing is definitely new to me.

A question for anyone. I'm going to TJ in Nov for two days. I plan on staying at either Cascadas or Rizo. Let me make sure I understand. When I bring a girl to my room the hotel is going to make me spend $110 on drinks each hour? If it's the cost of doing business, so be it. Any safety precautions? I've been to TJ many times, but made a rookie mistake in 2019 by going alone into a club in Zona. I'm sure my drink was spiked. I came to at the border, my wallet was empty (maybe $100) and I had a business card from a TJ lawyer in my pocket. Live and learn my friends.

I had a similar experience on my last visit - a disagreement on the # of dances provided. Definitely need to be aware.
