Visited Puerto Rico for 12 days. Great experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $89/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 7.5/10. Solid destination.
AMA.

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

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

I'd also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.
