Visited East Coast for 12 days. Solid experience. Scene is improved. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $141/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 8.5/10. Solid destination.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $138/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: avoid weekends.

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.
