Visited Puerto Rico for 10 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $107/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 8/10. Would return.
AMA.
Puerto Rico — overrated?

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

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Excellent write-up. This is why this forum is the best resource out there.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.

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

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