Yes you are right Combo, you have your old school Salsa like this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL82K_PfBsk.
Then you have the Reggaeton, which I don't care for at all, but all the chicas are into now, like this smoking hot young chica - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vJdESR4H88.
Speaking of Reggaeton, it's my theory that this music was used in the "Sonic Attacks" on the US Embassy jajajajaja, just kidding.
I'll be in Havana in a couple days, can't wait.Amazing hotites in those videos. The 2nd chica could even help me cultivate a taste for Reggaeton. LOL.
Wouldn't it be great, though, if the clubs that play great Latin jazz like Zorra why El Cuervo were full of available chicas?

Each trip I find new places to hang out, eat and most importantly, to meet the ladies. The hottest spot this trip, wad La Red. This is a daytime spot, with the bar and dance floor packed at 5 pm, 50 cent shots, $1. 50 beers, and able and willing ladies. Great place to go to get it in early, before doing the night thing.That's just what I need, for the next week I'll be in Havana, places for day play. I will be very grateful for more updated tips.

First time in Cuba and it was very different from Thailand, China, and the Philippines.
The good:
Cubanas are definitely the freakiest girls. Full GFE. They are amazing kissers compared to Asian girls and give better head. Love that they taste great and let me kiss them after. They ride like pros and take it on all positions.
The bad:
They hustle a lot. Even if you agree at 40-50 they will ask for more at the house for taxi or tip or whatever. They will also ask for a gift like toiletries. I'm upfront when I negotiate and tell them I don't give those and not to ask for more money back in the house. They generally also leave after you pop. Would love for them to stay the night. Only 1 wanted to stay the night and even cuddled after.
Report.
I was in old Havana so it was pretty easy to pick up girls. The quality is not good tho for the street walkers. It's good if you are into the darker girls but I am not. There is a good bar in old Havana called Asturia that is a mix of foreign girls and regular girls. I met my favorite girl there but there is plenty to be found just walking around.
I hit up st John's on Vedado on 23rd Ave but that one requires you to go up to the group of girls sitting together. Good variety of girls and first quoting 50.
The best looking girls were at fantasy. Go early otherwise you can't get in. The girls were all models. They are pricey at 100-150 but not sure how much you can talk them down. They are a lot better looking than the st John's girls.
Most girls seem to offer BBBJ, DATY, and BBFS. Takes a lot of will power to stay safe. Most girls are not on birth control but will let you BBFS.

I'll be in Havana in a couple days, can't wait.Earlier this month The Tall Man spent 2 weeks in Sosua DR and he wifed up with a tall slender 20 something year old dominican cutie and I spent litterally hours in the clubs with her dacing like this, really a sexy dance, lots of grinding and hip movements, you just need to experience in person, a total turn on, even if your girl is not a beauty just by the way she moves her body can turn on a dead person, jejejeje.
TTM.

TTM.That's right Tall Man. Last year I had a nice 3 bedroom apartment with plenty of room in Vedado, the 2nd night I was there I had three chicas visit late one night and after I shagged two of them they discovered the stereo equipment with a fairly nice sound system in my apartment. The Reggaeton music was on like a neck bone. For rest of the night, none stop dancing and the chicas just loved it. Needles to say they were back the next few nights, and I didn't have a problem with that because two of them were fucking smoking hot 22 year olds. We fucked like little bunnies and then the dancing was on, had a GREAT time with these girls.
I will be in Havana tomorrow and I have a little tip for the airport arrivals. If you are like me I like to get the hell out of there as fast as possible and I hope this helps you guys. Okay, after you go though customs / security instead of walking out of the airport with all the other arrivals, which can be mayhem most of the time. Go up the steps to the departures area, usually there is a very short line to exchange money and then you can just walk outside to where the taxi drivers are dropping off departures, you can intercept one of these taxi's very easily and *WHAM* you're gone!!

I'll be heading to Bangkok in a few weeks but now I am thinking I should have just chosen to go back to Havana. LOL. Maybe in March.
Have any American passport holders been to Cuba since Trumps new policy kicked in? If so what is your experience? Should Americans stay away until Trump is out of office?

The bad points you wrote about were spot on based on my experience. Don't forget about the asking for the money upfront, which seems to be very common.
If and when I go back there, I got to really check out these clubs everyone is writing about. Other than the higher prices, they seem to be where the stars are located.
Again, good report Red.

Where is the best neighborhoods to stay. What are the good nightclubs to attend? Is there any beaches in close proximity to Havana? Is a rental car recommended?
Recently did a short 3 night trip. I'll try to give the best run down I can. If you remember from my previous post I went as a couple. Off the bat ill say Colombia is way better for couples if that is what you're looking for, if you're single, ID say Havana.
First thing I noticed is sticker shock. Taxis are on par with NYC yellow cabs, you can negotiate but not by much. If you go to touristy restaurants, also pricey, even compared to Colombia's tourist places.
Someone asked about beaches, my opinion Playas del Este is the one to stick to, decent beach, 20 min cab ride. I took the trip out to Veradero, not worth the hike, and again, food was pricey.
Women: As we were a couple, it was much harder to find a girl to agree, but the key is divide and concur, they don't want their friends thinking they are bi / lez. I went to St jhons the first night, decent selection, all start at 100 and work their way down. It was shut down the second night. Made friends with a cab driver, he took me around some spots, was kind of too tipsy to remember names. Only went with One girl, brunette, large naturals, amazing deal, average sex. Not that we couldn't get more, just one of those Murphy law things that prevented it for one reason or another. Surprised to see how many light skinned / eyed girls there are in Cuba.
I am fairly young, but I am sure this applies to all, I was getting hit on most places I went, "super market" etc. So again if you're single, pretty easy pickings. If I can give one piece of advice, be confident, even if you know a few words of Spanish just go for it.
I was looking forward to going back, but now with Trumps Ban, I am a little iffy on it. Does anyone have exact details on this?

Talked to a supervisor yesterday with Southwest Airlines and she said currently you can still "self certify " with the airlines. Her understanding is that the tour group organizations aren't prepared to take over totally so it's a grace period until everything is in place and ready to go. Once the order is fully in effect travelers will be required to book through the tour groups and certifying will be with the tour organizations. In other words get there soon before everything is in place.
Pay attention to the airlines because as they scale down flights and hand over certification we will feel the change.

Havana is definitely good for the ego. LOL.
Fresh off the plane, my first hour there I went out to buy some groceries for and had two young things that spotted me from a couple blocks away follow me all the way down to the store to introduce themselves and ask if I wanted to hang out (I walked slow to let them catch up). Very cute light skinned mulattas. I was tired from the flight but go one's number and bought them a pack of cigarettes. I ended up calling her and we banged the next day. .
Damn, I miss La Isla Grande.
....So again if you're single....Hahahaha! No need to be single. Cuba is a mongers paradise, in which many of us are single while we are there!
It was a toss up between Bogota and Havana. Havana won out. Wanted to get there before it gets more difficult. Just booked my flight and accomodation. I will be staying in a hotel. However, I plan to be very discreet. There will be no propositioning of women whatsoever. However, if I am propositioned......
I'm heading down to Havana this February. With a wingman or two in tow.
I'm looking for upscale Casa Particular, with two or three bedrooms at least 2 ensuite, well renovated in old Havana would be perfect.
Obviously hobby friendly, (although we're the definition of "discrete". Usually), somewhere we can happily bring the chica's back to so need an entire apartment or house.
If I was solo I'd search something (economical) but with a couple of wingmen we can afford a little quality. Would be nice with balconies, outside space, even a pool.
Last year stayed at Hotel National and I was youngest guy there by about 30 years, don't need that kind of vibe.
Anyone found anything similar recently?

It's large and spacious and newly renovated, great location one block from the Malecon and 3 blocks from the Melia Cohiba Hotel. Most importantly it's chica friendly, no ID requirements for the chicas, just be sure to let Hans know you will be bringing in some chicas.

Cuba Tourist

I'm planning to return to Cuba after many years. I was there for 5 times around 2001. It doesn't sound like things have changed that much but the people that I worked with are no longer available or at least no longer answer their email. I am planning a trip with one friends in February for about 10 days. We probably will stay only in Havana. Obviously we're still thinking about some of the details. I'm hoping the people here can direct me to people in Cuba who can assist me. Can anyone give some advice or point me in the right direction?
Driver-I'm looking for someone who can drive. When I last was there I had a driver all day and night for $20 including gas and tip. I'm sure things are going up a little bit. What people have any recommendations and how much is it going to run now?
Local barrio guy-The second person we need maybe trickier. I had this guy Tony who introduced us to tons of women. We were friends and it was done informally. If anyone has any suggestions that would be wonderful. If not, I understand fully.
Casa-Housing is less critical. We can book a house for one night on the internet and then look around. There's tons of people who can show us around and of course they get a commission or you can just wander around yourself. We're looking for Centro Habana which is the easiest for meeting women, at least it was then. Vedado is generally much nicer but the trips back and forth got tiring even with a wonderful driver available instantly.
Dating Websites-My final question is probably the most important one and the one that I've had the most trouble figuring out on my own. When I was there before, I was spending longer amounts of time there and met women once I was there. This will be a shorter trip and so I'd like to prepare. At the time there was not so much use of the internet dating sites. The best one was amigos.com which wasn't very good. There was one Technological University that had access to the internet and so almost all the girls on amigos.com came from that one University. One of my friends now says that it might be tinder. I know that like in the Dominican Republic there's Dominicancupid.com. There is also tagged, badoo, wechat, as well as general apps like Whatsapp, Google Hangouts, etc. How can I find nice chicas now and start to communicate with them before the trip?

Anyone found anything similar recently?Hey DG,
I have a place that might work for you. Mind you, I have not stayed there but happens that on my last trip (November) as I got in the elevator another guy was coming down and we said "buenos dias".
He asked me if I was staying at Nola's place and I responded positively. He then offers me his place which is upstairs from where I was staying, and it's on the top floor (penthouse) in case I ever need to rent it if Nola's place was not available.
I asked if he could show it to me and we jetted back up to his place.
This place is muy (very) nice by my standards. It's a penthouse and it has 3 separate bedrooms with full kitchen, living room, baths, think he told me each bedroom has it's own bath. Has an amazing 360% view (AWESOME) around the apartment with a walkway all around.
Now, another monger from this site which we met in la Habana on my last trip asked me about this place and I gave him the email addy and he later email me back saying the guy wants $200 a day for the whole place. He travels solo this time and mentioned it's way too much for him.
So, if like you say in your post you have some wing men (buddies) with you and don't mind springing this much CUC daily on a pad, I'd recommend this place.
Location is a couple of blocks from the Hotel Nacional and building sits in front of the Malecon.
Let me know if it works for you so I can send you the contact info.
Mondo.
PS, Forgot, there is no pool.

Good bathrooms are pretty essential IMHO.
Locations is good, definitely on the shortlist.
Hobby friendly and even the cost sounds reasonable when split several ways.

Just got back from Havana. Been going for 15++ years now at least twice a year. Things have changed a lot in those years --mostly prices--for Casas, Chicas, Entertainment and Food. Things have gone crazy with costs as the new wave of American Tourists have invaded the Island. Casas for example used to cost 20-30 CUC for something half decent--now 50-100 CUC. This time I stayed at a Casa with a pool, butler and 4-5 star, in Miramar and it cost us 125 CUC per night but it was very very nice. I don't expect everyone to want to pay that much but for me it was worth it.
I know a good contact in Havana who is available to help with booking Casas and arranging drivers, good cigars and entertainment suggestions. A group of 6 friends of mine went to Havana and used my Contact to get a Casa, Driver and they partied every day! They were very pleased with the service. PM me and I will be happy to provide Contact info. BTW--its a former girlfriend of a good friend of mine and she also has a house where you can rent a room (or 2) for 25 cuc / night each.

A buddy and I hit la Havana for a week in September. We had a blast. Our Spanish is average. We found a 2 bedroom apartment on airbnb. Booked the 1st 2 nights on airbnb. Then negotiated rest of stay in cash with owner after 2nd night to save on airbnb fees. Paid in usd so owner was happy too.
The apartment was situated on galiano road just half a block from hotel deauville (doo-ville).
#1 - we cabbed 5 cuc to 23rd ave. Walked up right side where we saw a 9 sitting by herself. White chica. 24 maybe. Made eye contact. She followed us half a block. Then stopped in front of ice cream park by collective waiting area. Negotiated on usd $10 and cuc 30. Sex back at apartment was maybe a 5. She had a bad attitude. 9 body and face, except jello tits. After my orgasm she got dressed and quickly left. Name was China. Too be avoided.
#2 - buddy scoped a 19-20 year old negra. Just outside apartment on galiano street. Buddy screwed her in apartment, showered, oral. Lots of fun. She was probably a 7-8. He negotiated cuc 20. He tells me he was sucked dry. I believe him.
#3 - we're walking back from rooftop bar on hotel Ingles where we saw awesome chick band. On way back higher up on galiano ave, 2 negras flirt with us. Get beers and chat on malecon. Invite them up for great sex. My buddies was an 8 and mine was a 5. Uncovered oral and covered sex, multiple positions, accompanied shower, more sex, massage, were all great. Cuc 20 each.
#4 - saw white chica across from apartment on galiano at pizza joint. Buddy must have been already drunk because he paid her 20. Sure, she was a white chica and probably an 8 or 9. Good attitude and great sex I heard.
#5 - Pico Blanco, 15th floor saint johns hotel, last night. 50 cuc for white chica, probably a 7. Great sex. 25 years. Uncovered oral, covered sex. Multiple positions. Accompanied shower. Dance lesson (short). Round 2 oral, massage, hand job, done. Gave her a 10 cuc tip.
La habana is place to be! Great time. Saw another solo monger in same building towards end of our stay.
Malecon has lots of chicas. Maybe 5's to 7's mostly. A few 8's but asking too much. Cuc 60. Cops around too. Must be discreet.
Cab fares from deauville to 23rd ave 5 cuc.
Can't wait to go back.

I can't find any "Asturia" place, neither "Fantasy" in Havana. Are you sure of these names?Fantasy is actually Fantaxy. Google it and you will find the location.
I never actually made it out there as my buddies that went said ti wasn't really worth it. I liked Don Cangrejo and Mango in Miramar best (as I wrote in my report). Also St John was good 2 of 3 nights I was there.
As for Casas I'd stick with Airbnb as it is pretty well vetted. They have pics and reviews and you can ask the Casa owner questions about the place (exact location, amenities, etc) and they are very responsive. Also important to confirm that you can bring "guests" back to your room. All of the owners I asked responded in a timely manner and most allowed for guests.

On the Cuba restricted entities list from the US Dept of State is DATYS. But don't fret, it is the Desarrollo De Aplicaciones, Tecnologas why Sistemas, not one of our activities.
I have no idea why the software on this site substitutes "why" for the letter "y".

Just to make sure it's not scam.It looks to be a referral service. All casas listed there. But same rep responds to enquiries on multiple casas. I negotiated with them a bit, but in the end, decided to book 2 nights on airbnb then paid for the rest with cash. Got Airbnb owner's email (away from airbnb). Negotiated in USD for remainder of week's stay (up front, before I got to Cuba).

Private, one-bedroom apartment between La Ramba and the university for $30/ day. The owner said of course I can have local visitors in the apartment. I hope I can get through Cuban customs without a problem since I plan to take some toiletries and VS panties for the ladies.

I was unable to get one of those clever travel lock boxes they have online for the trip (as suggested by Ramon). So what I did was buy a couple of those cable bike locks and a good lock for my suitcase (not the TSA approved kind that anyone can open that has the TSA tool). I kept my cash in the locked suitcase and secured the suitcase to a very heavy Bench in the living room with the locks. An exposed pipe would have been even better but none was readily available.
Of course a determined thief could have cut the cable lock or the handle of the suitcase it was fixed to or broken the wood of the bench to steal the suitcase. But I felt this solution was was enough to deter most chicas and cleaning ladies.
BTW: I hope you reported this to the casa owner and to airbnb.

With bnb, it's less cash to carry.Needless to say, this remark is only for US citizens. Any other nationality may pay with bank card or withdraw cash at any ATM. You may pay only the first night with AirBnb and pay cash the following nights. You will save commissions, and may even bargain the price with the landlord.

Thanks for information! I am still looking for knowledge about Dating Websites. What is useful for Havana? Amigos.com, Latinamericancupid, Tinder, tagged, badoo, wechat, as well as general apps like Whatsapp, Google Hangouts? How can I find nice chicas now and start to communicate with them before the trip? Thanks.

No, I don't know of any but then again I'm not into the whole social media thing.
I've also thought about your question. My reasoning goes something like this, since internet in Cuba is not like it's in other develop countries for the lack of infrastructure and resources I'm guessing this sort of thing would be almost non-existing on the island.
Now, in case I'm wrong, maybe some of you younger folks can enlighten us on this matter.
Mondo.
I've dealt with a few internet girls and here's my take. If they have a profile and they are on the site regularly, then you probably are not the only guy they are socializing with and they are very resourceful. The girls from Havana are hustlers and will probably be looking for a way out by playing the good girl role. They won't trick for 40 cuc because some Cuban guy from Havana or their Miami cousin has schooled them to the game and are in for a cut. If they do trick it will be in the 100 cuc range. Now the girls from other places like Hougin, Santiago etc are more down to earth and will give you a fair deal. Also the prettier ones are more complicated and prissy. The average looking country girl from outside of Havana will be more appreciative and accommodating to make your vacation special.
I had one country girl from the country side visit me in Havana and she arrived with one change of clothes and was a pure amateur. We had a great time as she appreciated being my date for three days. She wasn't that pretty or great in bed but she was up for the adventure. I haven't seen her in a couple years but her profile page is still active so she has clientelle. Two from Havana that were very beautiful were acting like it was their show and I had to play by there rules with dinner, drinks and 120 cuc for sex. They didn't get anywhere with me after I refused their ultimatum They acted like they are queens of Havana.
I really don't like the internet girls because it allows them to test you and feel you out but you never really get to know them. Its a game set up for them to win. From the money requests before you arrive to set the tone, to them figuring out if you are a long term goal. The smart guys also play games before arrival but it basically puts you at square one once you arrive because you have spent two months lying to each other. One girl I met and banged in Havana and she moved to Italy to work and now she is moving back to Havana and the whole time she has professed her love for me not knowing that I know she was tricking when I met her and she was tricking in Italy. The internet allows deception on both sides but I prefer to meet in Havana and take it fresh.

Mondo, Thanks for your reply. When I went there years ago there were students from one of the technological universitit's that were using amigos.com. There was another forum that was popular than that has Since gone out of business that had some very interesting reports from people who had met all of their contacts from amigos. And as I said basically all of the women on the website came from one particular University. Because they were a technological university they had access to the Internet. Now years later it would make sense that many more people have Internet access but I've looked at all of the Internet dating sites and other sites of a more general nature and I can't find any that seem to have any reasonable number of Cuban women that have logged in in the past week or so. A few of the websites had several pages of attractive Cuban women but once you get past six or seven you said that they haven't logged in for more than a month. There may be a website that I'm unfamiliar with that is being used primarily and that's what I'm trying to find.

There may be a website that I'm unfamiliar with that is being used primarily and that's what I'm trying to find.So I tried a different method on what you are trying to accomplish and just until recently failed miserably. I created a fake Facebook account with real pictures of myself. I than started to search for all women using different names (like all Marias in Havana, Cuba for example). First I send a "friend " request and than I would send out a "pre-formatted" message to any chicas that caught my eye. Basically I just said that I was looking for a guide to the city and some companionship while I am there. Out of literally maybe 200 cubanas I just have been able to get one chica talking to me on Messenger and she seems like a "normal" girl. A few others have been very "cariñosa" with me asking me to recharge their "saldo" (minutes). Jajaja! Yeah right! For the vast majority of the others a few of them might have approved my friend request but I never got a response (in Messenger) from most I agree with Mondo; it might be hard for you to correspond with Chicas online from Cuba before your trip because of the limited internet access. Just use your "ground game" to plow through these "chulas". Remember to keep the pimp hand strong my brotha.
I was in La Habana last week. Low level of tourists, and less chicas. Still, some on the Malecon, some in the old town, some in the middle of nowhere. Three meetings three times bad service. Just interested in quick cash to feed themselves / their kids / their family.
I remember the old Havana with passionate playful girls- a different world less than five years ago.

You need to walk around the block a few times while maintaining a low profile.
Observe and be respectful but don't be too generous. Its no longer point and click pussy that scene ended almost 15 years ago.
Kindness and generosity are usually interpreted by Cubans as weakness.
I've had Cuban friends whom I've know for over 13 years rip me off.
You need to lay the law down with Cubans otherwise they will shit all over you.
Once you realize that 90 % of all Cubans are con artists the place starts to make sense.
I still can't figure Cuba out.

That being said, I did have a couple of passionate sessions the few days that I was there in August. And maybe I was expecting it to be like the old DR and Brazil and how Philippines still is where you have to kick the girl out when you are tired of her. But my experience in Havana was that as soon as you are finished the girls are out of there as quick as they can. Because of that and internet / phone issues, it is really not a place that I need to return to.

Thanks in advance.Based on what I've seen, the action seems to be concentrated closer to the area by the Deauville Hotel (the big blue colored building) which is on Galiano St (Avenida de Italia) in Centro Havana. Another landmark is that big black statue of a lady's head across from that hotel at the corner (trust me, you will see when you go, LOL). Every time I've gone this year, they were mostly just west of that area, which was only about a couple of blocks long. You should concentrate your efforts in the area I mentioned and then east towards the Prado heading towards the fort in Old Havana (Habana Vieja). Outside of that you might catch some stragglers here and there. The ones that are available will give you a hint if you look their way. I also notice they tend to be out mostly after 6 pm, at least that's how it was during the summer because of the heat. I'm sure the real vets on here might have better info, but these were my observations during recent trips the last few months.
Good Luck.

There are no quick answers. Walk the entire Malecon from the the tunnel in Miramar to the Morro castle in Havana.
It probably a 3 mile walk but you will learn a lot about Cuba. Observe.
Cuba changes daily and nothing is set in stone.

Playground is an exaggeration, however you can always spot girls at those intersection with Malecon. La Rampa that is 23 and Malecon is a hanging spot for young people. You can walk up La Rampa at you left side to Hotel Havana Libre, see the clubs, hotel St Johns and maybe find you date.

One thing that I'd add for those of you not familiar with la Habana and its surroundings is to download to your smartphone "Maps of Cuba" before getting to the island since if you do this over there it's a bit harder cause of the slow internet and costs.
If you also want real time navigation then you need to download an app (nav app) to do that. I was shown this last time I was there in October and it works fine just like a GPS but on your phone.
All of the above is done without an internet connection and for free!

Thanks a lot Mondo, Questner and EE for your precise answers! They will save me time. And thanks also for the Cuba map app, working offline. This also will save me time and stress!
Will report in March 2018.
As I stated in a previous post on this board I did not plan to monger on my trip to Cuba; my trip was just to 'feel out' the country so if you are interested in a thrust by thrust mongering report you will do well to skip this one.
I stayed at a hotel within walking distance of the Malecon. I arrived on a late Wednesday afternoon and after settling into my hotel room headed for the Malecon. I walked about two miles up and back and frankly must admit I saw not more than ten women who looked like hookers to me. Basically you make eye contact and the rest is obvious, some will call you towards them or the more brazen ones will walk alongside you with their sales pitch. This was basically the quantity I saw each time I went there. This was disappointing as I expected to see more even though it was a non-mongering expedition. However, throughout various parts of the city one will encounter others many of whom are quite discreet so you need to make eye contact.
With respect to quality one or two on the Malecon were doable but generally I was also disappointed by the hotness level on the Malecon. However, there is not reason to despair of mongering in Havana. One can come across some very alluring prospects by doing some footwork through the city. On occasions when I was by myself I was "asked the time" by some reasonably hot senoritas and I knew that a follow up proposal by me would be acceptable. However, due to an unforeseen circumstance I did not partake of those 'other' babes and did not hit the clubs.
The unforeseen circumstance occurred on my second full day when I was heading for lunch and this chica greeted me and started talking to me and in our opening lines she asked if I wanted her company (compania). On the spur of the moment in my improving Spanglish I asked her to join me for lunch. In short I spent the remaining eight days of my trip with her. She was the only chica I sessioned with in Havana and frankly if other providers in Havana are like her then Havana is a gold mine. We ended up liking the same food and drinks and with the aid of a translation app I improved my Spanish immensely. We met every day and not once was she unpunctual. She was never demanding and accepted whatever little I gave her in addition to the meals I had with her. Of course I gave her a windfall the day before I left Cuba.
I have spent considerable time with dating site girls in other countries but never so long with a working girl and frankly I will not criticize those punters who happen to occasionally fall for the latter. I hate to think of some foul monger maltreating this lovely young thing. I believe you treat them good and it will be reciprocated, it does not always happen but it does more often than not. She was not the best looker and a couple inches shorter than I like them but she was definitely an unspoilt babe and I would want to see her again if ever I return to Cuba.
I almost forgot to mention this. An elderly foreigner walking with a young Cuban senorita (20's in my case) will draw attention but not as much as one may expect. I actually saw more foreign women walking with Cuban men. I noticed she was circumspect about entering certain restaurants and was fidgeting with her ID card but there was never a problem. The police were ubiquitous but did not ever pay attention to us.

I stayed at a hotel within walking distance of the Malecon.And you say also that you spent one week with your novia. I thought local guests were NOT accepted in hotels, and mongers should always sleep in casas. How did you manage this? Did the hotel say anything where you brought your novia in your room? If this hotel is GF, then please tell us which hotel it was.

They can also pick up clues from how a girl is dressed and how she acts / moves whether she is a regular prostitute or not.
The cops in La Habana knew every girl off La Rampa for e. G. , but several blocks away you could walk around with a girl who wasn't always hanging around there with a cop almost never bothering you. Obviously your mileage may vary, depending on your familiarity with the surroundings, culture and language and certain areas are simply watched/patrolled much more heavily.

Casas:
Unless they have changed the law, any guests entering into your casa is required to be registered. Period. Now, the gap is in the enforcement. The casa may be paying off the inspector or the cops that work the area. From time to time, the government also has a clamp down.
Chicas:
Cops, generally harass the chicas with a gringo whether they are hooking or not. Often they are shaking down the chica. Catire is right in that they are familiar with the barrio chicas but they will stop unfamiliar chicas. A friend of mine was stopped by cops. She bitched them out good and told me after they were looking for a payoff. Same thing happened to a friend and his Cuban wife. In that situation, he found out that some chicas were paying the cops to keep the competition out.

I will be renting an entire apartment in Vedado, near the university. It costs $30 a night. The owner said guests are permitted in the apartment. He did not tell me any restrictions, such as maintaining a list. I prefer an entire apartment because I am a rather private person. When I return, I will write a report with pertinent details.

Hope you have fun (pun intended) I too will be heading down to La Habana at the end of February. Just want to find out once you come back the contact info for the rental place you'll be staying in.
Let me know via pm if you don't mind if the place passes the test as far as the accommodations and your overall ratings of this apartment, from 1 to 10.
Happens that my usual place is rented on this visit so I'm looking for a place close to La Rampa (23/ L).

We should be careful with using terms such as "barrio chica" when this term is not applicable and irrelevant in Cuba.
This isn't East LA.
It's not the Dominican Republic. And not any of the large cities in Latin America.
If you are referring to people from the lower socio economic ladder. Or even a certain neighborhood associated with that socio economic ladder. . this means something different in Cuba than anywhere else.
and the term "chica" to talk about girls is also not often used among Cubans themselves.

It you're too lazy for that, find one of the hustler guys (can't miss them) in old Town and say you want chicas. They'll find them for you.

Have to agree with your comment and advise like you say, I would add, it's almost like shooting fish in barrel that area of La Rampa.
If you can't score there then like you say get some "help" with one of the many hustlers around.

Havana is therefore more or less a hustle town. Outside of Havana it is different. Do not mistake Havana for the whole of Cuba.

Hey guys,
I am curious about the going rate in Havana. I am planning an epic trip for next year, and I am looking to get with two girls a day. A casa girl in the early afternoon and a club girl late at night.
Preliminary research tells me that club girls normally ask for 100 and casa girls in the day are happy with 50, would that be the case?
I am looking to go for 7 nights and will bring 1000 usd as a monger budget. Taxi fares will also come out of that as well.
Additionally where would be the best place to find girls in the day. Say 3 pm in the afternoon?

Additionally where would be the best place to find girls in the day. Say 3 pm in the afternoon?Where did you do this preliminary research? Prostitution is illegal in Cuba, so I am curious as to where you read about these casa girls for 50 CUC? As far as I am concerned there is no such thing as a going rate on a freelance market. A woman will give me a price and if I can not talk her down to what I am willing to pay then I will not take her. If you are a person that just goes with the price you are originally told then more power to you. Same with the taxi.
P.S. If you are bringing $1000 to change to 870 CUC and you plan on taking 150 CUC worth of chicks per day for 7 days (1050 CUC), then you will be walking because you will not have money left for a taxi. (You would also have to go a day and a half without chicks.)

You can get street day action for 20 cuc very easily, and its NOT from bottom feeders. You can pull club girls for 40 cuc very easily also. You just have to negotiate. Remember, the average income in Havana is 25-30 cuc a month, no reason to overpay for pussy, we have complete control, and have what they need.

And this is for LT, guys! NOT for 1 h.
Best gems are "free", as this country is the GFE paradise, but you have to take care of her of course, which is not free.
150 CUC per day for 2 chicas means 75 CUC for ST. Are you crazy?
Please don't spoil this country and the sweet girls there.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the info but I have no interest in paying those prices, those were the numbers I came across after doing some rough research. I will put together a detailed travel plan later in the year.
It is good to know I can get girls very cheap in Havana. I am from the UK so the exchange rate is very favorable for me. 40 cuc=28 gbp at todays rate, that's peanuts).
What would be the best approach for the daytime? A seek and destroy or a wait and ambush.

40 cuc=28 gbp at todays rate, that's peanuts Sorry to insist, but 40 cuc is still too much. Please print the given figures in your brain, and stick to them.
That's peanuts for you maybe, but not for them.
I repeat: That's peanuts for you maybe, but not for them.
So no need to give more than needed, if you don't want to see prices doubled next year.

As long as it is cheaper than back home is all they care about. Never mind they still may be paying double of what they should, until like you said the whole place is ruined. Rio, San Jose, and Sosua come to mind.

Thanks.Prices over 30 whether ST or LT are for jineteras (pros) that you can find at clubs. 35 CUC could be reached, but 40 is already too much.
These prices are much lower for gems that you can encounter while walking, eating or shopping ie girls next door, students, "normal working" girls,.

Well, almost free, I did keep my fridge stocked with beer and food, TV, hot shower and let them stay with me in me Casa, they really like that plus they were cooking for me before it was over!!

I'm thinking of heading to Cuba in May holidays (May 1-9). Is this a good time to visit? I am worried that the authorities may be cracking down in lieu of the May 1 holiday.
Many thanks in advance!

I stopped in there last Friday night and asked the guy working the desk about the club, and he said it will probably be open in another two weeks.They also said Casa de musica would only be closed for 2 months for remodeling but that was almost two years ago and it's still not open. Don't plan your trip on Just Pica Blanca at St John's being open.
St John's got too hot for the authorities. It will be a new spot that everyone will gravitate to but it will take some time. Casa de musica and salon dojo also were shut down when they got hot.
Maybe they are monitoring this board also. St John's was getting a lot of play here. Personally I'm pissed, we give helpful info here to posters who never go or never leave a report so maybe it's time we also go undercover and just work the newest most popular spots on the PM back channel.
We are hurting our own cause for nothing.
My response is not completely relevant to your question. I will be in Havana next week. That will be the first time staying in Havana. I was on a cruise the only other time I was there. I will be renting an entire apartment in Vedado, near the university. It costs $30 a night. The owner said guests are permitted in the apartment. He did not tell me any restrictions, such as maintaining a list. I prefer an entire apartment because I am a rather private person. When I return, I will write a report with pertinent details. I don't plan to have internet access when I am there.So how did the guest situation workout?
So how did the guest situation workout?There were no problems taking ladies to the apartment, and no registry. I had the complete apartment to myself. There were neighbors who were permanent residents. I never encountered the neighbors when a lady visited, but they didn't appear to be the nosey types. The ladies were very cautious. They would not walk with me to the apartment. The entry door to the building stayed locked. I would go in first and leave the door slightly open, then the lady would enter shortly after.

The entry door to the building stayed locked. I would go in first and leave the door slightly open, then the lady would enter shortly after.Tx. Was your place, perchance, on Calle Ronda in Vedado?
This will only be the mongering part of my trip. Other details are in a report in the Travel Questions and Advice section. I arrived at the apartment to settle in at about 1:30 pm Wednesday. The apartment manager showed me photos of a couple ladies. One I ruled out immediately because she appeared to be a little heavy. The other one looked good. I told him I would like to see her after I rested for a couple hours. He tried to contact her and learned she was in Guantanamo. So, no go on his contacts.
After taking a nap, I went hunting on Calle 23 at about 4:30. I walked from Calle H to the Malacon and back and did not see anyone who appeared to be working. I killed some time until after dark and went looking again. A couple of very dark-skinned overweights offered their services but they were not appealing. I wandered around for a couple of hours and saw a slender light-skinned lady somewhat hiding on one of the side streets. She agreed to meet me at my apartment. Once at the apartment and undressed, she wasn't as attractive. I opted for a BJ. It was not a good BJ, but it got the job done.
Thursday was so cold, there were no ladies offering themselves day or night. The Malacon was empty of people. I did see three models on Calle 23 advertising a line of jewelry. They were very pretty, tall and slim. So I knew there were some attractive ladies in Havana, but nothing for me Thursday.
Friday was warmer. I did the same routine of walking Calle 23 day and night. I encountered a few working ladies, but they were either ugly or overweight or both. I know, I am no Don Juan, but I have the money and can be picky. There were a few people on the Malacon, but no ladies who looked like they may be available. Same results as Thursday.
I was back to my routine Saturday. Saturday night, Calle 23 and the Malacon were overwhelmed with teeny boppers. I saw a few working ladies, but none to my liking. Also, there were a couple of cops stalking me every time I walked through their area. There were lines of people waiting to get into some of the clubs on 23, but there were more guys than ladies and more overweight ladies. A little after midnight, I had resigned myself to the fact I would die without having f**ked a Cuban lady. I found a restaurant with outside seating near the sidewalk and had a couple of beers and a ham and cheese sandwich in which I had to look really close to find any ham and cheese. Almost all the sidewalk traffic were the teeny boppers. I decided one more walking excursion on 23 about 2 am. At one of the intersections, I accidentally brushed against a young lady and she looked at me and smiled. She was with another lady, and they were walking on one of the cross streets away from 23. I observed them for a bit and decided to follow, because there was nothing else to do. Four blocks down the street they turned a corner. When I got to the corner, they were waiting about half-way down the block. We went to a near-by bar and the one I liked agreed to meet me at the apartment. She did not disappoint, age 23 with a slim body and small boobs that stood out perfectly. She returned to the apartment the following two days, both times 15 minutes earlier than the time we had agreed to. So I am no longer a Cuban virgin!
Tuesday evening, my last night, after my new friend had already taken care of me in the afternoon, I went to have some beer at a sidewalk bar while observing the happenings walking by. I didn't have any bullets left. While I was observing, two attractive ladies walked by at different times and gave me a look and smile. Now, I had observed the average woman would not smile at a stranger. My guess is the two were available, but where were they Thursday, Friday, and Saturday?
I will be in Medellin in 11 more days; and, for a while, I will forget all my misadventures in Havana.

The heavy presence of police and military on the streets last week may be due in part to the Plaza Jazz Festival being on. There is concern about unrest as the venues were very spread out to the ball rooms of Copacobana, Melia Habana, various hotels in Vedado and in Habana Vieja. When did that ever happen? I am told that they did not want any massing of the population in any one area. The Jazz Festival normally happens the 2nd or 3rd week of Decemeber. How the hell can you have any success when no one knows when it is? Adding to the potentially volatile mix is that the restaurant Starbien was shut down and its owner jailed for money laundering. The issue is that the owner is the son of the Interior Minister.
Checked out some casas. Lots available and it seems that enforcement is a little bit lax. Confirmed that there are rules but they are not being heavily enforced given the potential for unrest as per above. That means anyone with any problem with the inspector could probably buy their way out for $20.
I came home from Cuba a few days ago. Where in Havana 4 weeks. It's a pretty hard country. For me the first trip. The women I found 30 cuc, do not be so nice and bad in bed, they are pro girls I just found. So Havana is nothing for me to hard. Next trip, I thought I was looking for happiness in Santiago. Hope the women there are not so bad and nicer in bed there. Excuse my bad English.

You just be "slaying" these [Deleted by Admin] huh? LOL. Real talk (in all seriousness) props (respect) to your game bro. Also I agree with what you said. Take me for example: I just came back from my 2nd trip also in January and for the most part just chilled with my "Cuban novia#1" (#2 was in Holguín). I just gave her 40 CUC everyday and we smashed at least twice a day and stayed with me almost the whole day (she was also cool as hell and very fun to hang with). Every day she was gone for a few hours and for those few hours everyday of this trip I picked up a few neñas off of La Rampa or used pedicab drivers to pick up barrio chicas in Havana Vieja. I paid no more than 25 CUC for these ST chicks. Mangos is closed now fellas. I heard that for the pros there things are harder now.

Returning to Havana after many years. I'll be there late this week for about 10 days. If you are also in Havana let me know and maybe we can have drink together. I'm a little bit curious how things have changed since I've last been there. Everybody says it's gotten worse and that I should lower my expectations. We'll see what happens. I'm American so I'm going to get some euros to take with me. Other than that I'm not even sure what the weathers going to be like. I see a lot of places to rent on Airbnb. I'm going to pick one for the first night and then see how it goes. I'm looking mostly at Independent accommodations because there are the most likely to give full independence which is obviously important. However I noticed that most of the really elegant looking houses are not independent which makes sense because their large mansions where someone is renting out individual rooms. I figure it's February and it hopefully won't be too crowded so I can go there and look around for what I want. I'm hoping they'll be a day selection of friendly women. I would like to walk around so I figure the worst case scenario I'll take a few pictures and get a little exercise.

Good luck on your trip and make sure you report back both good and bad times you encounter there.
As far as the weather is concern what I do just before I go is check the weather site, weather.com, and click on the 10 day forecast and that way you get an idea how the weather will be just before you head there. I'll put a link below for the weather in La Habana for the next 10 days.
Usually this time of year the weather is quite pleasant as you'll see in the link below. Last year when I went at the end of January it got a bit chilly because they had a front come in from the north (called baguada in Cuba) and it flooded the area around the US embassy but was not too bad. Quite a site to see waves crashing over El Morro (lighthouse) and also over the malecon seawall.
BTW, this time of the year is high season for tourists so be aware prices for rentals are higher than for low season.
I'll be arriving on the 21st so if you are still there we can go chase some tail, ha.

Was in Cuba of late. St Johns remains closed and should be for a long time, despite what a anybody says. A lot of that has moved to La Gruta. Which I sued to dislike, but can now be quite fun on he right night, albeit packed to the brim.
STGs are around: go for it if you can. And GFE remains the best option in Havana, seize it when presented in good fashion.

When coming back to the states does the USA Immigration give a hard time to USA Passport holders? Do you tell them you went to Cuba?Hey I6606,
You don't mention where you are coming back from, is it from Cuba? Or a 3rd country?
If it's Cuba then custom knows so no need to lie. On the other hand, if you are coming back from a 3rd country into the US then is up to you.
If it was me I would not lie since as long as you tell them (in case they ask) that you visited Cuba and if they asked reasons for being there you tell them "support to the Cuban people" or something like that which is one of the 12 ways you can "legally" travel to Cuba.
I'll include a website so you get a better idea of traveling to Cuba.

It does not matter if you have traveled from Cuba to Mexico or Cuba to Canada before returning home, do not lie to immigration. This is the main rule. Lying to a Federal official is a real crime.
There is a small chance immigration will not know you have been to Cuba, but not a big chance. The US government has the flight manifests of all of the airlines flying in and out of Cuba. You are unlikely to be off of their radar screen. This is well documented by travelers who have been caught in their net over the years.
Even if you are in violation of the Treasury Dept rules on travel to Cuba, this is a violation, not a crime (ie, not a misdemeanor or a felony). Tell the immigration authorities the truth. Occasionally, one will be cited for violating Treasury Dept rules. If you are unlucky enough to being cited for a travel violation, request a hearing (do not pay the fine) and you will almost certainly never hear from the US government again. There have only been a couple of special tribunals since the 1960's, and the chances they are going to have one anytime soon are tiny.
In contrast, if you get caught in a lie with immigration, you become part of the regular federal legal system. Regular courts and regular trials. They do not forget or forgive and the penalties for lying to an immigration official are big. $60,000 fines are common.
Sure, you can prepare for a trip to Cuba by pretending you are there for any of the allowable 11 categories such as "in support of the Cuban people" but if you haven't done your homework do not screw yourself by lying to immigration officials in Miami, DFW or wherever. Who knows where this will go with Trump, but the US travel policies on Cuba have never been seriously enforced, so why would they start now? Lying to a Federal officer will always be a serious crime.

All those years (pre 2014) of sneaking into Cuba from Grand Cayman and the Cayman authorities were giving my travel itinerary to the US? Personally I'm taking a wait and see attitude because Donald and Marco might try to make an example of someone going to Cuba without the proper documents (including 5 years of receipts). Let's keep our fingers crossed for now.

Walked along the Malecon, lots of young mulattos w fine ass. Don't know if they were pro, but dressed seductive and made lots of eye contact.
Turned into Avenida 23 (a street that intersects with Malecon) at around 9 pm and saw lots of pros (if unsure, say 'chicka' to any local and they'll point you to the right direction). I made eye contact with a cute mulatto girl, told her to come to my place at San Miguel and she said she would follow (local girls can't be seen walking with tourists).
Damage: 50 CUC for the night.
Looks: 3.5/5.
Personality: 4/5.
GFE: Yes.
Extra: now she's my pimp and brings girls and cigars to my place. LOL.
If anyone is in Havana, my buddy just left so I have some time to kill before meet with another friend on Friday. Feel free to contact me for questions or grab a drink. This forum helped me a lot in the past so happy to return the favour.

I've wanted to visit Cuba for a very long time, every year I kick myself for missing the good old days, but I have always felt I would need a good chunk of time to make it a successful trip. Right now I have time and funds for a much needed but brief (six days max) mongering trip. My first instinct is to go back to Colombia where sex with beautiful women is a sure thing. But IF I could get it, some quality Cuban GFE would really rock my world. My question is how realistic is it to pull that off in less than six days? (In Colombia I'd be having sex three times a day with everything from a cheap stripper to a TLN highend escort -- in Cuba I'd be okay with one girl a day if it was quality).
I am well into middle age now and no longer the "hansum man" I once was, but then again I'm not looking for freebies. I speak reasonable (but not fluent) Spanish. I have travelled extensively in the developing world and am not usually phased by third world challenges (although having to carry all my money in cash and chasing an illegal activity in a totalitarian country do concern me a bit). I'm more into the blancas and mullatas than the dark Caribbean negras, and svelte natural girls rather than big bootie or silicone. 18 to 25 is my favorite age range, up into the early thirties is okay, but if you tell me I have to pick women my own age I might as well stay home. I mostly like to take my time and be a gentleman, BBBJ and DFK are high priorities.
Given my tight schedule I think I'd have to confine myself to Havana and nearby areas (maybe a few days in Guanabo?) It sounds like an "independent apartment" from Air BNB or similar is the way to go. I enjoy clubs and music (although it appears some of the best are closed). I've never really picked up girls on the street in other countries, I'm open but wonder if my age will permit that. Can I get laid on a six day trip to Cuba? With the type of women I like? Any other advice? FWIW I'm a US cit coming from southern Cali.
Thanks in advance.
It does not matter if you have traveled from Cuba to Mexico or Cuba to Canada before returning home, do not lie to immigration. This is the main rule. Lying to a Federal official is a real crime.
There is a small chance immigration will not know you have been to Cuba, but not a big chance. The US government has the flight manifests of all of the airlines flying in and out of Cuba. You are unlikely to be off of their radar screen. This is well documented by travelers who have been caught in their net over the years.
Even if you are in violation of the Treasury Dept rules on travel to Cuba, this is a violation, not a crime (ie, not a misdemeanor or a felony). Tell the immigration authorities the truth. Occasionally, one will be cited for violating Treasury Dept rules. If you are unlucky enough to being cited for a travel violation, request a hearing (do not pay the fine) and you will almost certainly never hear from the US government again. There have only been a couple of special tribunals since the 1960's, and the chances they are going to have one anytime soon are tiny.
In contrast, if you get caught in a lie with immigration, you become part of the regular federal legal system. Regular courts and regular trials. They do not forget or forgive and the penalties for lying to an immigration official are big. $60,000 fines are common.
Sure, you can prepare for a trip to Cuba by pretending you are there for any of the allowable 11 categories such as "in support of the Cuban people" but if you haven't done your homework do not screw yourself by lying to immigration officials in Miami, DFW or wherever. Who knows where this will go with Trump, but the US travel policies on Cuba have never been seriously enforced, so why would they start now? Lying to a Federal officer will always be a serious crime.I was told 15 years ago my neighbour who was a pilot for a canadian charter airline, that they had to call in names of all persons on the flight when overflying the usa to usa authorities when he was going to mexico and Cuba on direct flights from Canada, this was 5 years or so before it became common knowledge, only in the land of the free eh?

My question is how realistic is it to pull that off in less than six days?.Havana checks all your boxes however nothing is guaranteed in Cuba. There will always be a club to go to, the Cubans love their dancing too much. The challenge is finding that one club that is hot, it changes nightly. You can waste half your night driving around trying to find one. As mentioned in other posts you can find some stunner but with that comes the hardened pros and the games.
Picking up girls on the street is much like the clubs. The scene changes minute by minute, hour by hour. It's really not like other countries where you have known avenues or streets with girls beckoning you in. An area can be hot one night and a ghost town the next. Sometimes it's obvious these girls are looking for some CUC but most times they blend in with their friends drinking and playing music, shopping etc. The aggressive ones will approach you but you will have much more success if you initiate the conversation. A smile and and Hello, opens up so many opportunities. Sitting on the malecon with a cooler bag of beers is like bees to honey. Once you unlock this, the pussy is right in front of you all the time.
Cuba is not an all inclusive monger destination like the others. You can't jet in and pick up the phone, go for a massage, Facebook or pop into the mongering bar / hotel; That option is not there. You need to put some leg work in and most off all you have to be able to handle all the bullshit that comes with it. Cuba is not for everyone but if you put the time and effort in you will be rewarded. Your age BTW will not be an issue at all.

Havana checks all your boxes however nothing is guaranteed in Cuba. Thanks Canuck, this makes sense and is very helpful. I get that the challenge is part of the fun, and am relieved that my age won't be an extra barrier. I love the suggestion of "Sitting on the Malecon with a cooler bag of beers", that's exactly my style but I wouldn't have thought of it. My issue is that (for various personal reasons) it's a while since I've been able to do a serious international mongering trip and with just a small window I'd hate for it to be a total flop. I read reports that suggest members go for weeks without success, whereas in Colombia it's shooting fish in a barrel (but the diamonds are few and far between). Not totally decided yet, but damn, Cuba is tempting. Happy for any other opinions or advice on how to make it a success (in six days).

EF.I don't think you will go weeks without success. Just staying in Vedado you will be followed by girls and propositioned. The hard thing sis finding a gem. Btu if you stay out there you'll be fine.
Knowing a bit of Spanish and not being shy about using it will go a long way.
Clubs like Don Cangrejo and La Gruta (where the girls from St John hotel have been apparently congregating) are like shooting fish in a barrel.
One tip: make sure you book a casa that is girl friendly. I booked on Airbnb and messaged the host to make sure they were cool with "guests" coming over. Not all of them are.
Cuba seems to be a bit trickier than DR or Columbia (full disclosure I have never been to either). But it has the advantage of being kind of unique and isolated. Also I think the girls are a bit slimmer because their diet is healthier.

It seems clear that getting the lodging right is key. The two reasons I'm leaning AirBNB are that they appear to clearly state some units are "independent" -- I'm hoping that makes things easier, even though I realize it means less of the cultural experience than a traditional casa particular -- and they provide a way to contact the host. I can't see a way to do that with havanacasaparticular.com (although they list safes in the units which seems desirable to anyone from the US). Am I approaching this right?

Medellin is the cleanest city I have ever been. People are extremely nice there. The cost of everything in Medellin is very inexpensive. But the girls, they are beautiful and fun. Age differences mean little and GFE is plentiful. Not one girl I was with acted mechanical. They all seemed to really enjoy time together. Better than a real girlfriend. Go look at Colombian Cupid and browse the girls, then about a month before your trip, sign up and start chatting with girls and you can have everything pre-arranged and negotiated before you go. After you make contact with one on CC, get their whatsapp number and set up all arrangements. Stay in the Parque Lleras area. Lots of fun at night and plenty of girls to snag from the street. You can always PM me for more info. I have a great guide there as well. He can help you arrange everything.

I love Latin Women, but then again I love 'them all: pouty Asian girls, sultry Spanish, wispy blonde FSU pretty much everyone except my former wife (German, but very Americanized). I also love MDE, but I haven't been to Havana. Closest thing was I was a journalist in marxist (at that time) Nicaragua in the early / mid 1980's. From what I gather there are a lot of social similarities to modern Cuba and the people were incredibly sweet (the military was omnipresent but also was kind of on the sweet side -- I frequently got picked up hitch hiking by military convoys). From what I could tell (as a Gringo), there was absolutely no prostitution going on (mostly because of the soldier on every corner). Which makes me curious about how it works in Cuba. I would have loved to have bedded some of those sweet communist Nicas --and I had the impression they felt the same way, but there was a barrier between us. On the other hand, at that time (and speaking as an American journalist), El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and even Costa Rica were full of p4 p opportunities for a guy like me, but sadly missing the sweet interpersonal connections that Nicaragua offered.
For strictly personal reasons I haven't yet committed to my next trip. I am leaning Cuba, but damn, the Colombian girls are hot and the commercially established GFE sex scene is easy to navigate. But I guess I'm still searching for my sweet Nicaraguense (or Cubanita) novia (for pay).

Walk down the Malecon or just walk the neighborhood. There was a restaurant called Sofia's we would go to for drinks and snacks. Always P $P action in there. You do have to be careful of the policia. Myself and my wingman pulled two girls one evening and was on route back to the condo when we were stopped by the police. We went on ahead and they detained the girls. The finally let them go to us, but wanted the girls to bring them $50 cuc on the way back out. So that is what it is. Had another occasion where we were talking to a couple chicas on a slow night on the malecon. Two policia walked up to see what we were doing. One of the chicas talked to them and they walked away. We quickly went into their abode on the Malecon, paid grandma a little fee on the way in. Did our business and left. Walked right back by the police. They politely smiled and we went about our business. Here is a pic of one of the girls I snagged from Sofia's. I would go back to Havana as well. But Medellin is still my favorite because the girls are so hot and GFE is abundant. I suspect the action might be a little easier now since its harder now for us Americans to go.

Hello Fellow ISGers.
My buddies and I are strongly considering going back to Havana for our 2nd trip this May. Last time we were there last November and the following venues seemed to be the best to meet quality freelancers: Don Cangrejo, Mango's (now closed), Fantaxy, and St. Johns bar (also closed). We tried other venues like Mio why Tuyo, La Cecilia, Bolabana and they simply were not that abundant with talent like the others.
With Mango's and St. Johns being closed this really limits the good options even further for freelancers in bars and discos which we prefer. Does anyone have any updates on the venues, what else is currently good? Is Don Cangrejo still good on weekends? Anyone that can share recent intel would be much appreciated.

My fellow mongers!
What's up guys? Happy to see that this board is still going strong. Well I did take my 2nd trip in late January and it was even better than my 1st trip. Unfortunately I didn't know what I was thinking about when I was packing my bags to come back home and accidentally placed my laptop into my checked in luggage. When I got home I realized that someone cut the lock to my luggage and stole my laptop. Before I left Havana I decided to barter my "Cuban" cellphone (sans Cubacel sim card) to this hot university of Havana student named Greta (for 3 sessions) who I hooked up with a few days before I came back. I felt generous so I left the memory card in it.
The thing is that cellphone was what I used for 99% of all my movies and pictures that I took when I was there. So before I gave Greta my Cuban cellphone I transferred all of the pictures and videos to my laptop that got stolen from my checked in luggage. Luckily my travel insurance reimbursed me for my laptop and two 1 terabyte external hard drives that got stolen.
I hate to sound a douchebag but I don't think it will be fair to you guys if I submitted a Trip Report without pictures and videos (damn I do sound like a douchebag!) So I will just give the basic facts about my last trip:
My apartment (Airbnb) was in Vedado and it was in a great location. The only thing I didn't like about it was that I had no views of the neighborhood from the windows because the apartment was an "internal" apartment.
I stayed very close to La Rampa and to Parque Coppelia. Had some success with my day game in La Rampa. Since I look like a Cuban when I approached a chick I would quietly asked her in English first what time they had (to show them that I'm a Yuma) and immediately asked the same question in Spanish to try continue this new conversation.
I also met up with a few chicas in Parque Coppelia for ice cream. These girls were girls that I met on Facebook (before my arrival) but they, in general, acted a little bit more entitled than other Havana girls (I still managed to bang out 4 of them).
The rest of the girls I banged were from Old Havana and I did what I did from my 1st trip which was I tipped pedicab drivers to find girls from old Havana. I didn't get to pick up from the Malecon.
To be honest for the majority of the time I stayed with 1 of my "snow bunnies" Rachel from my 1st trip. Almost everyday she was gone from my apartment for at least 4 hours running errands or whatever else she had to do that gave me a chance to find other playmates. Rachel and I went out to 3 bars / discotecas including "Q Bola" and they were alright. We ate at a few restaurants but I honestly can't remember the names of them. The only place that would be of interest to my fellow mongers is Dos Gardenias but I wasn't impressed. I was driven to Mangos so that Rachel could show me that it was closed. I didn't even make it back to Don Cangrejos.
Overall my 2nd trip was more low key than my 1st trip but still had a great time. Sorry this Trip Report is not as good as my 1st you guys.

Yeah yeah yeah I know; this is the Havana section of ISG. I just figure I might get more feedback if I asked here instead of the "Other Areas" section. So I am seriously considering going to Holguin for 3 weeks in September and was just wondering if anyone has been there recently? Yes I am "RTFFing" but just wanted to hear any thoughts from any of my wonderful fellow forum members about Holguin.
This is what I have so far:
Possible Hunting Grounds.
1. Benny's (on Monday nites).
2. Nocturno Cabernet (Tues nites).
3. Casa Msica (Friday nites).
4. El Maalao.
5. All public parks.
*I do realize the Police train there so if I do go "Molly" won't be with me.
Any information and / or opinions would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

Thanks for the report. You managed to bang all 4 of them?? How much was the damage? Were they hardcore pay for play or take them out and have a happy ending later type of girls?
How many chicas did you meet via bicitaxi guy?? Usually they will find any girl they can quickly to make money fast. They don't care about quality.

It puts everyone on edge and takes away from the fun.
Come to our country for vacation but just don't talk to our women or we will put them in jail. The governments practice of this is irritating and frustrating.

I'd say the challenge is on.Mr. Flynn,
I love it. If you do decide to go to Havana, look at staying in Vedado. It is pretty central, the Malecon is right there and a short taxi ride to anywhere. You definitely want to go to Habana Vega to look around, but that is where the majority of the tourist are centered around Parque Central. Check out the Iberostar Parque Central hotel and see if a front door man by the name of Humberto is there. He can help guide you. He speaks pretty good English. If you speak Spanish, you should be golden in Habana. If you are like me and speak very little, you will need a good translator. But remember the internet is almost non-existent. Also, cash is king, no credit cards. I would buy Euros to exchange for Cuban Cucs to take away the 10% penalty for exchanging dollars. If you decide to go and need any help, PM me and I will try to help you out.
Oh forgot to mention in my previous posts, two other friends were staying in a separate condo from me and my wingman, the condo owner even fixed them up with two of his chica friends one night. All is there for the picking. Still not as good as MDE though.
Habana would be a good place if it wasn't for the police constant harassment of the Chicas. It puts everyone on edge and takes away from the fun.
Come to our country for vacation but just don't talk to our women or we will put them in jail. The governments practice of this is irritating and frustrating.
Great reportVery bothersome. And the chica probably has to suck them off before they send her to jail. They also don't give a crap if they see an old tourist hag with a young Cuban guy. Talk about a misogenist society. And I thought Communists were egalitarian!
OTOH, it's a unique place and I heartily recommend a visit!
The police scare can be irritating, and I noticed a couple of weeks ago when I was there, they see seemed to be out more. They don't bother the tourist, so I am not pressed about them. We will see how it is when I return again in 2 weeks. But still the spot to be!

I hate the idea of a girl being sent to prison / work camp because she was interacting with me.

The European female Tourists were being Escorted and company by young Cubano guys with no problem. No one stopped or said anything to them. And even though in Santiago there was less harassment and the Police more relaxed, you still had a little edge of concern.

Thanks for the report. You managed to bang all 4 of them?? How much was the damage? Were they hardcore pay for play or take them out and have a happy ending later type of girls?
How many chicas did you meet via bicitaxi guy?? Usually they will find any girl they can quickly to make money fast. They don't care about quality.Facebook method.
I decided to try another method which was blindly reaching out to women on Havana in Facebook and I had to do a lot of legwork to get it to work. Don't get me wrong; 2 of the 4 chicks were smoking hot (the other 2 were 7's) but the amount of effort I put into it initially and the resistance I got from the 4 at first is not for a person used to easily picking a chick from a working girl house (I'm just saying). I literally sent a "canned" message to girls in Havana on FB saying that I was going to be in town on vacation and that maybe they could "be my guide" and show me around town. I tried to be vague but did say that I would compensate them for their efforts if they took me up on the offer. I sent this message to sooo many chicks but not surprisingly only a fraction read my message. A few gave me a tongue lashing, others politely refused, a few tried to scam me into recharging their "saldo" (minutes), but a few others said that they would consider it. Of course I used a fake FB (Rakim) but had real pictures of me.
"Selfie b".
Once I was in Havana 4 out 7 actually meet up with me in Coppelia Parque. Since these 4 were always on FB it seemed that relatively in Cuban terms their family had some $ because they acted very prissy and really didn't push the issue about $ (mere speculation on my part). I called these girls "Selfie b**ches" but they we're not pros. They had their own $. How did I get to bang these 4?
Meet Molly.
Well "Molly" came with me again on this trip and for this trip I brought a batch that doesn't stay in your system as long as in regular Molly. To anyone who wants to lecture me about my methods I respectfully ask you to keep your opinions to yourself. Since these girls (all bleach rubia snow bunnies) liked to party (you should see their FB pictures) I brought up the subject of party favors and that was my segue to my good ole' friend "Molly" (they f*cked me on Molly for ST). Since these girls were dying for something else to experience they decided to try it after the initial trepidation. The only thing I paid for was for their cab rides back home. To be honest I don't think these girls wouldn't have banged me if it wasn't for the Molly. When I first initially bought up the subject of money they all balked a little. Hey whatever works for me its "all good". I banged 2 of the 4 a second time close to the departure date (1 for TLN for the only night Rachel wasn't with me) . They f*cking loved banging me on Molly! LOL!
Old Havana girls.
I meet 3 girls from Havana Vieja. For only for one time I turned down the initial girl that the pedicab driver tried to set me up with but he was cool with that and found a nice morena for me on his second try. Another pedicab driver introduced me to one of his neighbors and she was a tiger in bed. 1 girl was a little flakey so I repeated with 2 of the 3 a second time. Molly wasn't with me for these girls. Overall I have a lot success with Havana Vieja.
Well, they aren't all worried about jail, because we have had plenty of chicas walk the streets with us, side by side.Having been to La Habana on about 10 trips over the past 10 years, I could see that happening if your chicas were around 50+ years, see some very recent reports posted on the general info Cuba site.

I have no reason to lie, and been to Havana plenty of times, and NEVER messed with any chica over 30, and plenty of them walk side by side with us, no problemo. I am not saying all of them, but definitely plenty of them. In the streets and in the restaurants, no worries.
I will be happy to upload footage, if I could stop getting the error message when I try to upload....
The point is, don't go to Cuba and be a scary cat...
Also, btw, I have been there 7 times in less than a year.

Hi guys.
I remember someone mentioned on the board (or perhaps it was a PM) about a portable safe contraption that they use when they went to Havana. I think there was even a link to where you could buy it on Amazon. But I can't find the reference.
Does anyone have any info?
Many thanks in advance!

No it's not, it's VERY WEAK. Come on! A little laugh doesn't mean an insult! What we all mean here is that YES you can walk hand by hand with a girl in Cuba, but the fear of police is always present. Exceptions can always be found, and we don't mean that you lie. Your GF may take your hand to walk, but I've never seen more than that (embrace, kiss, flirt and touch.). And for sure you can't kiss and love in a square for hours, as you can often see Cuban schoolmates do, without being controlled. In a way, Cuba reminds me Morocco, where you must take 2 taxis (one for you and one for the girl) to get to your room. Maybe you look like a Cuban, wear the Guayabera, and nobody easily notice that you are a tourist. For all white European / American guys with blue eyes, strolling with a short and flip flops, walking hand by hand and kissing in public is NOTstandard in Cuba. You may think that girls are shy or bashful, but it's not that. It really is a concern to be taken for a p**a from the society and police, which is dismissed and reprimanded. In many other countries of this website, girls (and everybody) just don't care, and everything is much easier.

UV.Google PORTABLE SAFE, amigo! My fav are MASTER LOCK 5900 EURD, and Pacsafe Dry 15 L anti-theft portable safe, depending on where you go (wet / sandy environment or not).
Of course, cutting the wire is always possible for a real thief, but these items prevent robbery from chicas, cleaning women, and so on.
You could also simply lock your bag with a 4-digits locker, instead of 3. It draws less the attention than a safe attached to a water pipe!

Last time I had my suitcase locked with a non TSA key lock and the suitcase secured to large piece of furniture with a cable bike lock.
So probably this is just as secure as one of these fancy portable safes. Also, as you point out, a bit less conspicuous.
What do you guys think?
What do you guys think?It will work. The only difference is that pacsafe does not take up space in your luggage.
The crew and I are headed back down to Havana next week, and wanted to get some Intel on the Playa beach area. We plan to head there on Saturday, and hoping to run into plenty of females. Any info is appreciated. The info on this site about Playa may be out dated since its 2 or 3 yrs old.

Any info is appreciated. The info on this site about Playa may be out dated since its 2 or 3 yrs old.I was down there back in November. The beach is lovely and I spent a couple of hours there. But I did not see any free chicas to hit on. Mostly couples and gringos. But I was there on a Wednesday. Maybe better to go on a weekend.
Hey,
Like I just posted, I just came back from Cuba late last week and wanted to post a couple of places that might not be familiar to some of you.
1st, Fabrica del Arte. This place is close by before the tunnel at the end of the Malecon before you cross into Miramar.
It's a pretty eclectic joint with art exhibits on the walls and museum like paintings all over the place. It has a fashion show first around 9 pm And an hour later or so a musical performance in another room. I got to see a very strong performance (Jazz) by a young bassist, heard they have all genres at different days.
Crowd is on the younger side with some couples but always one could spot babes willing to play our game.
There is a restaurant but you need reservations since is always pack or so I was told.
One last thing, this place is open late maybe 2? So is good to go early since after 10 or so usually there is a waiting line to get in.
2nd La Esencia. I've mentioned this place before but have not read any reports.
The time I went was on a Friday during "happy hour" which is from 4 to 8 pm I made it by myself since my buddy was crashing after having too much rum the night before. This place is an older house that's been converted into a bar / club and it's pack to the hilt.
Again, this is mostly younger crowd and one need a bit of game. Nonetheless, I'm no spring chicken and found some action to be had. Met a couple of civies, that although couldn't get our schedules to meet have a shot on my next visit. Drinks are 1/2 price during happy hour, just make sure you ask the bartender for the happy hour drink menu otherwise you'll be paying full price.

Mondo.Very interesting. Thanks so much for posting. I will check these out next trip. Ben meaning to check out Fabrica for some time. But have been wary about the line. Never heard of the new place but Happy Hour there sounds fun.

About La Fabrica Del Arte, I confirm it's a nice trendy place, with a good music band. Group of girls were there, but didn't notice any single girl sipping and waiting.
However, this place must be checked out.

Good to hear. DC is a bit pricey. But the chicas there are hot hot hot!I agree with both of these statements. Be prepared to pay the gringo price if you don't speak good Spanish. The Cuban pimps won't forgive them if they didn't get top dollar from a gringo. Cuban guys can fuck them for nothing up to 20 CUC. But they tell us 100 CIC and if you are lucky or it's late they come down to 80 CUC.
Personally I don't think they are worth it, just go up to la Tampa and be patient. Something nice will fall in your lap for 30 CUC for all night.

Great...I read ur report.
But personally I take Cuba smaller towns over Medellin anytime....NO HAVANA! But I saw ur a drug user so maybe you should’ve disclosed that that was what probably enhanced the whole Medellín experience in ur head! I read ur MEDELLIN report and you do use cocain before sex so sorry that’s not a fare comparison.
In my opinion Cubanas from small towns and even second tiers cities are more natural, true GFE than paisas and have more interesting conversation than the mostly clueless and extremely superficial paisas who spend half their day looking down their phone.
First of all, Latin women are the best. Medellin is the cleanest city I have ever been. People are extremely nice there. The cost of everything in Medellin is very inexpensive. But the girls, they are beautiful and fun. Age differences mean little and GFE is plentiful. Not one girl I was with acted mechanical. They all seemed to really enjoy time together. Better than a real girlfriend. Go look at Colombian Cupid and browse the girls, then about a month before your trip, sign up and start chatting with girls and you can have everything pre-arranged and negotiated before you go. After you make contact with one on CC, get their whatsapp number and set up all arrangements. Stay in the Parque Lleras area. Lots of fun at night and plenty of girls to snag from the street. You can always PM me for more info. I have a great guide there as well. He can help you arrange everything.

Browsing the internet I read that it is a good club to pick up FLs. Has anyone ever been?
It is very close to where I usually stay (kind of in the back of the Nacional hotel). I've walked by but I figured it was just a Jazz club like Zorra & Cuervo.

Not saying you can't find a FL there, but it's certainly not the first place that I'd think of for that.

Besides the FL pick up option, its actually a cool place to just have a drink and listen to some good music!

How cheap or expensive is 15 minute taxi ride? I heard it is cheaper to rent a van if you have a 8 person group and hire a driver. Is that true?
How cheap or expensive is 15 minute taxi ride? I heard it is cheaper to rent a van if you have a 8 person group and hire a driver. Is that true?You will be marked men with a big group like that. Only the most hardcore girls will deal with a big group like that, and they will hit you with a tourist price if you walk around like so in a big group. Not to mention the attention a big tourist group like that will draw from the police.
You boys better huddle up and get a game plan because I can't see 8 girls jumping in a van with you guys.
How cheap or expensive is 15 minute taxi ride? I heard it is cheaper to rent a van if you have a 8 person group and hire a driver. Is that true?The gringo text is anywhere between eight to 10 cuc per ride. It doesn't seem like much but when you're only driving 3 to 5 miles you understand how they get over. Hell we even decided to take the horse one day and they still wanted to charge us 10 cuc for a five minute ride. I told the guy only if he gives the horse a break and ride us on his back for 15 cuc.

I kind of guess most of the old time mongers know this strategy. For those who don't here it goes.
Almendrones, those are the mostly American relics from the 40's and 50's that have set routes on the most travel streets and run mostly thru the main streets in la Habana, I. E. Linea, Calle 23 and so on.
These cars follow a set route so no asking for an specific address but if you are mainly going to La Rampa, Habana Vieja, Miramar along 3rd avenue or other routes you hop in (they usually carry 5 passengers) and the ride will set you back 10 CUP, that's. 40 cents USD, I've even payed the fare with CUC and get back the change in CUP!
They have never ever asked me if I was a Cubano or foreigner, so no worries there as long as they get paid. I always exchange some CUC's for CUP's.
Cadecas or banks will exchange your money, no questions asked.
They run around the clock but frequency drops late at night since there is not much demand.
Also, there is a minibus called Taxi rutero that does the same thing but charges only 5 CUP and runs on a set schedule.
Hope this helps some of you mongers willing to mix it up with the locals. LOL.

How do you exchange CUCs for CUPs?
Will it work if your Spanish sucks and you are obviously not a local?

I used the cadeca next door to a bank on Avenida 23, close to calle J. My Spanish is bad, and I surely don't look like a local, but I had no problem exchanging.

Is it an issue getting girls to register their ID documents when inviting them over? One the airbnbs I am checking out is saying it needs to be done. It is great price and location, but if I can't bring chicas back. What's the point LOL.
I'm going to be in Havana 2nd week of April if any of you are around and can show me the ropes LOL.
Is there a way to know what route they go? I suppose the answer is no because I saw a lot of locals flagging down the almendrones then not getting in. If I wanted to go from Avenida 23 to Habana Viejo, or vice versa, what would I look for?I always start my night out about 8 pm walking from my casa in Havana Viejo to Sofia's on 23 Avenida. It's a beautiful 50 minute walk passing the lively people hanging out on the malecon. A taxi back is usually 5-7 CUC.
As far as catching one of the old cars late at night, not my thing. I like the taxi's that drive the old square Fiats. Those guys that drive the old Americano cars are not the friendliest IMO. One ran out of gas and still wanted me to pay him, I just walked away. Another claimed I gave him the wrong cash denomination. Trying to save 1-3 CUC at night dealing with hustlers is not worth it to me on vacation.
Mondo is correct that some have designated routes for locals. But unless you are a veteran traveling during the day I don't think they are worth it. Just pay 5-7 CUC at night for an air-conditioning ride directly where you are going.

There are a couple of places where you'll see locals mainly flagging these Almendrones down. If you are going to Habana Vieja you'd want to catch the ones that go by the Malecon. So, right outside the Sofia or a couple of blocks towards the Malecon they'll pick people up and will head over to Habana Vieja. Once you are near where you want to get off just tap the driver and he'll stop and then handing him 10 CUP bill. In case you have no CUP hand him 1 CUC and he should give you back change worth 60 cents CUC or sometimes they just give you change back in CUP, in that case it's 15 CUP.
What you see locals asking for is the location they are headed and if it's not what they need they let it go. In your case you ask for Habana Vieja.
Coming back you find the street where locals are flagging down the cars and ask for Coppelia or La Rampa, pretty sure most go that way.

Mondo.Great Info! I will gather up my stones and use these next trip. The gouging and haggling for basic trips around town is getting annoying.
I noticed that a lot of them stop outside the Havana Libre. I guess you have to ask the guy where he is going before jumping in?
There are sometimes some smoking Chicas taking these things. Asking where it goes is a great way to break the ice.

If I wanted to go from Avenida 23 to Habana Viejo, or vice versa, what would I look for?Not sure that the collectivos go to Habana vieja per se but they run from La Rampa through el centro along two routes. One runs up the prado and I think the other veers off to go up Galliano.
Just say Prado. They will ignore you or say no if they aren't going up the Prado or they will no yes if they are.
You can flag the collectivos down just about anywhere along their routes so long as it isn't a cluster fuck of a stop. They will ignore you and drive right by if they are full, if there are 3 people waiting and they have 1 seat or if they just don't feel like stopping.
Just get out somewhere along the Prado. Prado is the border between vieja and centro.

Not sure that the collectivos go to Habana vieja per se but they run from La Rampa through el centro along two routes. One runs up the prado and I think the other veers off to go up Galliano.

Once you are in the Collectivo will he let you off anywhere along the route? Or only at fixed stops?

If by colectivos you mean the Almendrones, they will pull over and drop you off once you tell them to. If on the other hand if by colectivos you mean the "taxi ruteros" they do have regular stops along their route just like buses do.
I understand there are certain areas were they are not supposed to stop (Almendrones) to pick up or drop passengers but for the most parts that is not the case.

I made my trip in January and went to Santa Clara. The owner of the casa I stayed at told me that in November 2017 all casa owners in Santa Clara were summoned to a mandatory meeting telling the owners that owners, sexual service providers and customers will be penalized if caught participating in prostitution. I talked to other casa owners and they confirmed this information. The likely tourist penalty would be a 3,000 CUC fine, and being held in jail until paid or one year, whichever comes first. I asked if I should stop coming to Cuba. The response was no, because being a generous boyfriend is one thing, participating in prostitution is another. What this means is that selecting one chica that you like and staying with her for your entire trip is one thing, having several chicas is prostitution. You could probably even get away with two, but you had better have a good story how you had a fight with your "novia" or "querida" and met someone new. I knew I had to choose carefully, so I spread the word around that I was lonely and over about three days, I get visits from several girls for "company". I finally met a cute, skinny, white 18 year old chica. When I made her an offer, she had to go ask her mother, who was apparently a friend of the casa owner. The girl reminded me that she has only been with one guy in her life and I needed to be careful with her. I offered her 20 CUC for each occurrence of bareback. She was able to muster up to three times a day, but on some days asked if I would be satisfied with a day of companionship for no charge to let her body rest because she was sore. She spent most nights with me and I took her to Cienfuegos for three days as well. She had never been out of Villa Clara in her life and she told me that visting Cienfuegos was a dream come true for her.
I did indeed have an immigration officer come by and verify that I only have one guest stay with me during me entire stay.

It will never happen. Not even after Cuba reaches the level of economic development like Sweden, which will obviously never happen. Just as a ballpark, 20% of tourism is indirectly motivated by personal services in countries like Colombia, Thailand and very likely Cuba. Of course, its only an opinion, but I met guys in Cuba who dropped tens of thousands on having fun, exorbitant amounts when everything was allowed.

Seriously though, my girl in Cuba told me that there was a crack down coming. The Castro's are on their way out of power, and the new guy in town wants to make an example out of those chicas making more money than the government. This could go 2 ways. Civil War or business as usual. I'm leaning towards business as usual. After all, traditions die hard in Cuba.
That link with the Miami newspaper is over a year old, it's not new. It's also from a newspaper that caters to the exiles and Marco. Go over this forum for the last year and you won't see any posts from mongers about the crackdown centering on us. Makes me wonder if some guys here are intentionally creating this doomsday to keep other mongers away.

They closed all the casinos, and those were bringing in tourists. I think you are overestimating the percentage in Colombia, maybe under in Thailand. In Colombia, maybe 5% at the most.
I haven't been outside Havana in Cuba, but the women there don't compete favorable with the women in Colombia. Just the threat of a crackdown will probably make people look for alternatives.
With all due respect what are you talking about? I never had a problem with multiple chicas in 2017 or even the beginning if this year. Were you just in Havana? I'm confused here. Could you please clarify.I posted this alert in the Havana section because it seems like a nationwide thing. I don't like Havana; too many shysters; the chicas are too "streetworn"; people are more interested in ripping you off than providing something of value. I went to Havana in 2007 and never came back. I spend my time in the provinces of Villa Clara and Cienfuegos in the middle of the island. If you can tolerate the "true trooper" Communism, Villa Clara offers a good selection of chicas with almost no tourist competition. It's also cheaper and very safe. Jineteras are very rare and are "rough trade" in Villa Clara. However, ordinary (or should I say extraordinary) chicas are available for a reasonable price. However, I will heed the advice I was given: For me it's "one and done".
The crew and I just returned from HAV. No problems at all, business as usual or even better. We had a casa on Industrial where the owners only came in the morning to cleanup after our parties the night before, and give us new supplies. We had all kinds of chicas coming in and out all day and night. No worries, and we are returning in May, for some more chicas and rum!

Can I get a quick crash course? Recently divorce and plan on heading to Cuba for pure mongering purposes. I love the GFE potential. But, I'm going solo, speak no Spanish and will be heading out early may. I'm so nervous I thought about just going to Tijuana where I'm at least guaranteed action.
From this board I understand:
1, cuc vs peso, I will be getting Canadian money from AAA.
2, Cuba is more a pay for play. And in theory any girl should be available, but since I speak little to no Spanish I know that may not be the case.
3, attend dance halls for the best looking and most expensive girls.
4, walk along the famous shoreline in Havana (forgot name) to meet women.
5, don't stay in a hotel stay with a Cuba off of airbnb.
6, but an international phone and buy a sim and minutes for it while in Cuba.
7, download Google translate.
Any mongering tips like where to meet girls? How to arrange the pay 4 play? On the scale of 1 to 10 (ten being pornstar level attractiveness and 1 being average what are Cuban chicks like?

Any mongering tips like where to meet girls? How to arrange the pay 4 play? On the scale of 1 to 10 (ten being pornstar level attractiveness and 1 being average what are Cuban chicks like?1. CUC.
2. Not advisable to think that every woman is a prostitute in Cuba. As you do not speak the language, you either have to wait for the hookers to approach you (very likely a hardened pro) or find somebody to do it for you. Don't worry, when they see the clueless gringo walking around, the leeches will attach to you.
3. Well, that would be the best choice for someone who doesn't speak Spanish, in those places you could find a few who could have been with gringos before. There is a video online (in Spanish) of a place in Miramar called Fantaxy, the guy was complaining about many beautiful women available in the place and he didn't like it (I think the dude is gay). By the way, the owner is fidel castro's grandson!
4. That would be El Malecon in El Vedado. Try it but there are a lot of police in the area, they keep a tight watch there because in the 90's they had a big protest in the area (El Maleconazo).
5. Yes, no hotels, go to casas particulares and make sure that they are "girl friendly".
6. Yes, you could do that but you don't speak Spanish, right? Also have in mind that calls in Cuba are very expensive.
7. I think that you would need internet access to use Google translate.
Are you expecting a GFE with a woman you just met and can't communicate with? Depending on where you live, I'd say that the Philippines, the Dominican Republic or Medellin (I really like those Colombianas) would be a better option, at least in those places English is more common (well, not in Colombia) and you can find other mongers willing to allow you to tag along and / or point you in the right direction. Mongering in Cuba is not the same.
If you still really want to go, just get Pimsleur Spanish and listen to Cuban radio stations to get used to the speech. You still have plenty of time to get ready and if you can find a wingman, that would be a lot better.
So, be careful out there, have fun and comeback with the good memories not with a "I found the love of my life there" (recently divorced guys tend to have a weak heart). As a Cuban myself, I can tell you that Cuban women are hot and great in the sack but I don't recommend them as wife material. Unless you like to share what you have with others!
I have read the reports, but I cannot see the exact price.
Someone says 20 30 cuc per one shot and another says 50 60 cuc per one shot and the other 50 cuc per one night.
Please help me to know exact price to negotiate.

I have read the reports but cannot know the exact price.
Can you share me the price and the quality of chicas?Here's what I do: Network in the same manner as looking for a job. Do *NOT* be sexually explicit. Spread the word around that you are a lonely tourist looking for company and you'll tip anyone that comes through for you. Talk to casa owners, the guys that drive those horse drawn wagons, taxi drivers, people waiting in line, bus stops, etc. Once someone introduces you to a girl, give them a fiver and tell them they will get more if it works out. Talk to the girl about details over a meal. If she isn't up for what you want (in my case that would be BBFS and GFE), tell her there's a few bucks in it for her if she finds someone for you. Just get the word around that you a looking for a female companion. People will start to show up and help you out. This works best in smaller cities / towns.
I give the girl 40 CUC to 100 CUC for the first day and half that for additional days, depending on the quality of the chica. The ones that catch on to learning what a high quality GFE is get extra gifts.

(Thanks Tank BTW).Cuban Viagra goes by the generic name "Sildenafilo". The "official" price is 10 CUP for a ten pack from official channels. The street price is about 1 CUC per tablet for 100 MG. I got some from the casa owner where I stayed last time. Talk down the price a bit if the seller only has 50 MG. However, with the quality of the last chica I had in Cuba, I didn't need it.

I was in Havana in January for the first time as a monger. The only other time was on a cruise.
Prostitution is illegal in Cuba. Ladies can be harassed by the police if they are only walking down the street with a foreigner. I had heard that the police will not bother the foreigners. That was not the case for me. There was one section of la Rampa that two policemen followed me. All I was doing was walking around, drinking a bottle of water.
I was there five nights. I walked the Malacon four nights and I did not see any lady who appeared to be available. Most were with kids, or in a group of mostly men.
IMO, the women are not very attractive. Many are overweight. Many are black; nothing wrong with that, just not my preference. I found one small, slender lady, but I had to follow her for more than two blocks just to talk to her. You will have to exert effort to find action. There are no massage parlors, etc where you can go for guaranteed action.
There are so many other countries to visit where prostitution is legal, and you don't run the risk of getting into trouble with the US government for going there. In addition to the countries Rebel Monger mentioned, there is Costa Rica. Many people there speak some English.
If you do go to Cuba, you would save very little by getting Canadian money. The exchange rate you will get at AAA will not be very good. I have no idea if they charge a fee to exchange the Canadian money back to US dollars if you don't spend it all. If you plan to spend more than $1000 in Cuba, then it probably would be worthwhile to get Canadian dollars.
I tried to figure out what went wrong so I went back to read your trip report. You said it was cold so maybe that contributed to your lack of options. Also you said you went to the cafe by the sidewalk, that was probably Sofia's. That was you post up spot instead of walking around looking like a tourist. Sofia's has live music and girls are always peeking in there. Next time sit there and just chill, the girls will give you the eye walking by or have a seat inside. It's usually a couple tours by the sidewalk that speak English who can hook you up also. Finally, next time use one of the girls you don't like to tap into her network. The key to Cuba is to be tapped into the local scene through Cubans. From new clubs to girls, you got to make connections there to fully enjoy Havana.

Hey,
I tried to exchange USD to CAD on my last trip thru AAA in Socal.
Do not waste your time doing this as I will explain what takes place.
After going round and around with many offices not having a clue about the exchange, I found one who gave me solid info and was positive they'd be able to do the transaction.
Before heading to this office I checked the Forex (that's the official site for exchange rates for currencies) That day it's was 124 CAD for 100 USD.
Finally, when I got to the person I had talked to before and told her about doing the transaction, I asked if there was a commission for this and she replied that AAA does not get any commission / fees. From here I told her to figure out how many CAD I'd get for my USD.
Well you guessed it, right? No commission but instead of getting 124 CAD (that day's exchange rate) I'd be getting 112 CAD!
So, instead of giving you the market rate for the transaction, you get a 12% hit on your exchange.
Hope this helps out those of you planning to exchange USD to CAD thru AAA.
Again folks, there is no free lunch.
Mondo.
P.S. BTW, It turned out the guy I ended renting the apartment from did exchange USD to CUC in very favorable terms, so in that respect I lucked out big time.

However, letting a Cuban chica know that you can be "convinced" to buy that dress she wants or a low end cell phone works just as well. Cuba is off the charts to have a weeks-long sexual experience with a beautiful, clean, attentive chica. The last one I was with turned down a previous tourist who wanted to take her "clubbing". She said yes to spending the night with me with a quiet evening of watching movies and playing chess together. We watched them on a laptop that I paid $150 for. I told her that it was hers *at the end of my trip* if she and I were on good terms. She wanted that laptop come hell or high water.

You guys got any tips? Is private, all I need to do. I'm trying to pick someone where in walking distance to Salon Rojo.Hmmmmm. You did say you have read past entries on this forum? If you haven't I strongly recommend that you do. Anyways use Airbnb and read their apartment / room rules to see if they specifically talk about guests having to sign in. My first apartment landlord went "through the motions" and told me I had to sign in any guests but she never checked. I recommend using either the "Map of Cuba Offline" app which had worked well for me or the MAPS. ME (you have to download the Cuba map) for navigation. Also recommend downloading Google Translate and make sure you download the Spanish Language packet so you can use it offline. IMHO if your Spanish is limited try "La Rampa" and Habana Vieja (the pedicab method) for Daytime action. Remember assume everyone is a hustler so don't let your guard down. Lock your shit if you have a "mango" (girl) in your place. Don't tell a girl you want to see her "papaya" (LOL). Based on my personal experience you do have to research / prepare to a certain degree and have to "put in some work" if you want to have some success in Cuba (or join Chris H's crew. I just LOL'd myself). You can't be a lazy monger in Cuba but that's just my 2 cents. Now go out there and makes all of us proud!
P.S: Take pictures.

Can we take vape, vape juice or cigarettes with us to Cuba? What's else is not allowed beside guns and drugs?
Sounds great. How did you get that great rate?Make sure you have the Blue $100 bills. And then there are plenty of guys next to Parque Central on Obrapia and Paseo de Marti. Requires a little negotiation. But once you have a guy you can come back to him whenever and skip the negotiation next time.
The guy who changed my money also showed me a place to eat around the corner that was super sketchy but quite good. Cost me something like 1 CUC for the foreigner rate. They paid half that if I remember correctly (it was a year ago that I was there).

IMO, the women are not very attractive. Many are overweight. Many are black; nothing wrong with that, just not my preference. Broham once you go black you never go back. It's a verifiable fact (ok maybe not but it seems like it).

Mongers!
Do you have contacts in Havana that want money, and knows English. Want browning points? PM me. I could use a guide for early may.
My main Cuban girl from Santiago de Cuba hit me up and said she was going to Havana and could I meet her there. Shit, as fine as she is I can at least make the 55 minute flight if she could manage a 12 hour bus ride. Booked my ticket, booked my casa and studied a few pornstars to update my technique. I was going to go Wesley Pipes crazy on her ass. I last saw Anna for carnival in August with Mr E and Grown man. I arrived a day earlier than her to see if anything new was happening in Havana. Posted up at Sofias for a couple hours but only cops on the corner. A couple rough looking girls on the side streets have low prices. But I wasn't going to waste this nut on something less than what I had coming the next day. Decided to tuck it in around midnight and get ready for Anna from Santiago.
Got up early and walked down 14 in vedado to the malecon and then to Havana Viejo. Two hours later and 23 k steps in the heat I arrived. Took one time to learn not to do that shit again. Hit "La Cabana" restaurant and had shrimp and chicken breasts with a tomato sauce and walked back to la rampa. Went home took a nap and went out at 8 pm for my meet with Anna at 9 pm.
Got there early so posted up on the malecon and 23. Saw this short young fine thing on the sidewalk sitting using the internet. Sat a few feet away ready to pounce when she looked at me and smiled. I looked around thinking this must be a set up. I walked to her and introduced myself, she introduced herself (Ingrid) and asked if I needed a companion? I asked her for her age and she said something I didn't like, so I said thanks but no thanks and walked to meet Anna. I would run into Ingrid three more times this trip and she always give me that sweet smile but I would keep moving. Went to meet Anna, we had some drinks and got a cab for 5 CUC to 23 y12 from La Rampa. As we were crossing the street I see Ingrid walking the sidewalk with an older Cuban guy holding hands.
I had split a 20 MG of cialis before I took a nap earlier so I was good to go at the house with Anna. The next morning we caught the 222 bus to vieja Havana to hit my money exchange spot and guess who was at the bus stop? Ingrid. Short and pretty as ever. We get on a cramped bus and she again gives me that sweet smile so I smile back. I fantasize about what I could maybe do to her in a year.
Me and Anna would spend our days eating in Havana Viejo and fucking before a nap and at night. We spent our nights at Sofias till La Grunge opened to party at night. There is this new black bartender with long hair at Sofias that I couldn't stop sneaking a peak at. Well on her night off she was in la grunge alone. Damn if I was single I would have had her. Also it was this pretty Asian girl with another fat girl posted up outside of Sofias watching the band like they were scared to go in. I heard them talking English so I knew they were American. I looked at the Asian girl and smiled. Two things in life drive me crazy: 1) a cute clean chocolate girl. 2) An innocent sweet Asian girl. Me and Anna go to la grunge and get a table in the back. About 15 minutes later the Asian girl walks by us and up the dark stairs. She gets to the top, turns around and comes down. She then walk over to a guy next to us and asks him something and he points to the left at the bathrooms. FUCK! That was my chance. I'm replaying what just happened in my head as I try to salvage this situation. Okay, I'm going to find the Asian girl, tell her I owe her an apology for not realizing she was lost. Introduce myself and see if I can make a date for the day after Anna leaves. I tell Anna I'm going to get some drinks from the bar and look over the whole crowd for the Asian girl but no luck.
Incidentally Anna extended her trip until the day I was to leave, later that night, must be some kind of female intuition. I In closing Anna served up the sex porn style whenever I wanted and it was good to see her but I can't help but fantasize about the black bar tender at Sofias and Miss Asia. When we travel we remember most the ones who got away.

Hey fellas,
I have been to Havana many, many times, But it has been nearly one year, and I know the scene changes fast and in unpredictable ways.
Can any of you insiders suggest some of the best places to meet ladies these days?
I'll go ahead and say La Rampa, La Gruta, Parts of Old Havana, and the usual places like Don Cangrejo.
BUT -- are there any recommended bars or areas or clubs other than those?
I heard Saint Johns, the club there, is closed. Is that still correct? I assume it is permanent.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated!
I will report back after May.
MjT.

MjT.St John's is closed. I was getting. 96 for 1 usd on the street. Police presence is very high now so you have to be tactical. La grunge has a few girls but guys are deep there. Now its probably best to work through a local until the police relax. Oh, and it's already hot there.
