Has anyone been to East Coast recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Transport tips
I was there in 2024 and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers
Is Cancún/Playa del Carmen still worth visiting in 2026?

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Agreed on all points. Make sure to get a local SIM.

I was there in last month and prices were great value. Spent about $50/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

I was there in last month and prices were slightly higher. Spent about $80/day all-in.
My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.
