Visited Puerto Rico for 5 days. Solid experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $121/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 9/10. Exceeded expectations.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

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

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are higher than what's described here.
