I went to Cuba for the first time during the Spring Break. I am going to share my experience in the next few days.
I speak no Spanish at all. Only know a few words. It was a great experience. I don’t know what Cuba likes before. It was great for me. There are many cops on the street. But, it did not slow me down. I only wish I could speak Spanish. I am sure that I am overpaid and overcharged everywhere I went. I am going to learn Spanish and go back to Cuba again.
I prefer young (18-28) white (or light skin) girls. Your idea of hot chicks may be different than mine. I can easily mix in with the college student, even though I am out of school for years. Keep this in mind when you read my Cuba adventure.
I spent a few days in Havana and a few days in Isla de la Juventud. My experience in the Isla de la Juventud will be in Other Areas section.
I flied to Cuba through Cancun, so I can easily mix in the Spring Breaker crowd when I came back to US.
Havana Airport:
When I was at Havana airport, I was asked where I would stay. I showed my casa particular address. No problem there. I got a taxi for Vedado for $15.
My Casa Particular:
It was $30 per day, with its bathroom and entrance. The air condition is very noisy. Since this was in Cuba, I did not complain. It would be hard for me to find another Casa with my language problem. The owner speaks English. He did not ask for my passport or ID. I did not discuss with the owner if I can bring Cuba guests to my room. I just did it. No sure if owner knew or not.
-
Private Driver:
When I arrived at my Casa, I asked owner to find me a driver. What a mistake. He found a driver who doesn’t speak English. I should reject the guys right away, but I was nice to keep him. It costs me $35 per day. I only kept him for two days. It was not worth it. He took me to all of tourist traps and I spent more money than I should.
First of all, he took me a restaurant. This place is weird. It is in a residential area. There is a small sign indicating it is a commercial place. I forgot the name of the place. You have to buzz to get in. There are only 3 tables. The food is expensive for Cuba standard. It costs me over $30 for 2 persons. When we were ready to leave, the driver went to the kitchen to get his kickback. This was not cool at all. I should fire him.
Anyway, somehow I let the driver know I was looking for girls for the night. He drove around and found 3 girls he knew. I sat in the car and girls coming over to shake my hands. I let the driver know that I do like one of girls. So, two girls (one was for the driver) hopped in the car and we were on our way to Marina Hemingway. It was about 11:30PM. I saw many hot chicks on the street to wait for people to pick them up when we were on our way to Marina Hemingway. I wish I could speak Spanish to ask to the driver to pick up some more girls.
We arrived at Marina Hemingway and I paid $10 per person for all you can drink. This is a government owned place. So, my driver did not get his kickback here. The chick I picked was pretty hot. At least C or D cup. She is 24 and a student. When she saw me to look at her chest, she would shake them. I could not wait to get my mouth on these puppies. However, when I danced with her, I was disappointed. Her skin was very rough. A big turn-off (I am picky). She was a 9 when I just met her. She was a 6 after the dance.
When I was at Marina Hemingway, there were quite few girls eyeing at me. About 1:30AM, I was ready to go home. In the car, with hand and a few words, we started to negotiate a price. She wanted $100, I said no, She then said $60 and mentioned she has a baby. Another major turn-off for me. I reply with $40. She was a bit pissed and insisted on $60. That’s fine with me. I told the driver to drop them off and went home to sleep. Got to teach these girls a lesson.
The next day, the driver continued to rip me off. Took me a comedy club (I did not understand a word they said) and took commission on the drinks. At 12PM, I asked the driver take me home and told him the service was not needed anymore. By this time, I already knew my way around Havana.
Foods:
The Cuba foods are very bad. Even I paid for the tourist price, I did not get any decent food. The first of things I did when I came back was getting some decent steak at Ruth’s Chris Steak house.
Eventually, I set for the fried chick ($1 a piece) and pizza ($1.20) everyday at El Rapido (Linea street between L and M street at Vedado). This joint is for Cuba and there are very few tourists there. A bottle of water is $0.40. Other Tourist places will charge a dollar for a bottle of water.

how i got laid without speaking any spanish:
i was cruising on the 23 street near hotel nacional(la rampa). met a cuba guy who speaks excellent english. he was one of these street hustlers. what sets him apart with others is that he is very smart. anyway. i brought him a few drinks and became friend with him and other street hustlers in that area for the next few days. i told them what kind of girls i like or i pointed to them the girls i saw on the street. they would talk to the girl and negotiate. i paid $50 for girls. one of girls i paid only $30 (i was running low on the cash). these guys would escort the girl to my casa particular to avoid trouble from the police. for their service, i will give them $10 or buy drinks. i think it is great deal for me. i select the girls i like and they will do all of works for me.
there were two tall hot blondes (absolute 9) i saw on the 23 street on the friday night. i immediately asked if they were available. when the cuban confirmed they were working girls and i could probably get them for $30 each if he negotiate. according to the cuban, these two girls cannot talk but their hearings are fine. that’s perfect for me since i speak no spanish. i sent my guy to negotiate with their pimp (a medium height skinny black guy). however, i was late. apparently, other tourists already entered negotiation stage with the pimp. i wanted to do these two girls very bad. had anyone on this board encounter these two blondes with speech disability? i would love to know how they were in the bed.
the cuban’s name is freyred. he is white, 22 years old and about 5’5’’. his phone number is 053-07-530598. he speaks about 5 languages. you should be about to reach him in the morning. in the afternoon, he is taking computer class. anything you need, he can get for you(a driver, casa particular or girls). around 9pm, he always hung out around the cafeteria sofia (on the 23 street near hotel nacional, next to the jazz club) with several black guys. he knows all of cops in that area. at night, there is a white guy wearing a strange hat to direct car parking on that street (he pays cuban government tax). you can ask him where freyred is. he should be able to tell you. i think the guy can provide a valuable service to tourist. however, you should state clearly what you are willing to spend to avoid hassle later on.
i did see freyred helping 2 americans (both wearing reddish shirts) to get casa particular and girls the last night i was in havana. i saw freyred getting a private car with these 2 americans (he told me they are american). it was getting later. i did not stick around for the scope. if you guys with reddish shirts are on this board, let heard your experience with freyred.

Meet normal Cuba girls
It is possible to meet normal Cuba girls anywhere. One place not mentioned on this board is the Saturday night concert. Every Saturday night, there is a free concert right in front of American Interesting Building at Vedado. The location of concert is not coincident. There are plenty of political messages in this concert. It starts 7-8PM and ends around 11PM. Cuban government uses bus to load university students to attend this concert. When I was there, there are plenty girls making eye contact with me the tourist. Too bad I don’t speak Spanish.

Senior Citizen Needs Your Advice
Although I like variety, I think that I will be looking for a steady novia (girlfriend) when I travel to Havana next month. I am not looking for 24x7 together-ness, but I would like to fall asleep every night and wake up every morning with an affectionate cicha in my arms.
Where I need you advice is that, believe it or not, I don't want someone too young. I fear that someone too young will just be bored to death with me. I am not about to go out dancing until 4 o'clock in the morning every night. If fact, not even one night! Not even to 1 o'clock in the morning! My ideal evening would be dinner, and then some easy jazz played at a volume which does not hinder conversation, and then between the sheets and between her legs no later than midnight.
The idea is not to find a girl who can put up with my ideal evening, but to find one which wouldn't mind or might even enjoy such an evening.
I am guessing that a young girl found at one of the disco type places would not be what I am looking for. (Not to mention the fact that I'd probably feel really out of place in such a place.)
So ... any advice on where I can find a girl who I won't bore to death? Needless to say I am not looking for an abuela (grandmother). But 27 or 28 would be just fine.
Thanks, Bob

Bob,
Give Freyred a call. He is white, 22 years old and about 5’5’’. His phone number is 053-07-530598. Tell him exactly you wrote on this board. He can introduce ladies to you if you don't know anyone in Havana.

For some reason, I dragged my sad donkey butt down to Havana Cuba. Not a great place to be unhappy. One fine day I was walking into a shop in Viejo (old town) and spotted a tall, slender, dark-skinned woman who slowed at my advance. I followed her in, exited behind her and did a triple-take. She was ravishing. I quickly snapped her photo walked off into a crowd, when she began to question me in Spanish.
My Spanish is not as good as you might expect, actually it is not
good at all. It was unclear to me if she was asking what I did,
if she was threatening to turn me in to the authorities, or if she
was propositioning me. As it turned out, I think that all three were
going on, but the outcome was surprisingly pleasant.
She suggested that we take a tour of the Capitol. We wandered around and I listened to her describe things in ways that I did not understand. I found out her name was "Marilyn" and she told me her last name was not "Monroe." Of course, the trip had been filled with JFK references, and I did not need one more. After the better part of an hour was spent trying to understand the Cuban experiments with US-style democracy, and why they failed, we went to the outdoor restaurant. I bought her lunch and some sodas, took out my notepad and Spanish-English dictionary, and exchanged notes. This turned out to be the best way to communicate. The obvious downside was that our communications could be intercepted and used as evidence, so we destroyed them almost as soon as we made them.
I told her that she was 'muy linda.' We continued to flirt and seduce one another as the day warmed and ripened.
She asked how much i wanted to pay,
and put lines next to the following:
____$20
____$30
____$40
____$50
____$??
Not wanting to be either stingy or extravagant, I checked the $40.
she wrote "OK" next to it without hesitation, then grabbed the note and tore it. After finishing our sodas, we went down several grand flights of stairs and back into Viejo.
Through the streets she went, looking for a friend who had a 'casa particular' that was available. We were together, yet apart, constantly looking toward one another and ignoring one another in case the authorities questioned. Eventually, she found one in Pobre Peña, that added another $20 for an hour alone.
After going into the wrong building, she whistled me out, and put me in the right one. Then we paid the $20 for the room, $1 for the 'preservativo' (condom) and went upstairs, where I gave her US$40 and she gave me a sweaty, nasty good time.
We spun out on the street, and she helped to guide me back to the bus.
¡Cuba Libre!

Well at least there are nice places for music (Jazz being played live in the Galeria Paseo, topmost floor, right opposite to the Melia Cohiba). If you are more for the slow, intellectual stuff, visit El gato tuerto, downstairs from the Ncional Hotel.
You will find your novia anyway. She will adapt to your needs, rest assured.
How come that more often than not tourists like being a laugh at a loud place where about everybody can see what´s behind the grey haired and the young beauty, trying to make him dance ...
Nevertheless, even whithout grey hair one can easily be spotted and that is distasteful, anyway.
For a good dinner try El Gringo Viejo, the only restaurant (paladar) actually serving interesting food apart from the usual. If she still wants pollo frito, it´s on the menu as well...
Have fun!

Just back from Habana and here's my report as promised.
First of all, ditto to the guy who recommended El Gringo Viejo, that and El Alhibe are my favorite restaurants in Cuba. Excellent food by any standards!
This was my 8th trip to Cuba and I've spent a total of about four months there, both east and west. Since this board is about sex I'll simply invite anyone to contact me if they want general information. Geez, I'm getting recognized by people on the streets already!
Ok, let's talk about sex. If that is the primary purpose of your trip GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. Believe me!, it ain't what it used to be. Yes, there are still girls around, far fewer, way far fewer, but it is such an incredible hassle. Their families, the laws, the police (who are now detaining johns as well as the girls, and they don't care if you consider her your "novia.") no arrests for the guys, though the girls can and do get two years in a rehabilitation camp. This is especially prevalent with interracial couples where the Cuban is mulatta or black. Then there's the getting of rooms, paying people off, blah, blah, blah. I only went because I already have a girlfriend there, so I didn't have to deal with most of that shit.
Also, more and more casa particulares are being prohibited from allowing chicas in the casa, at all! We had to look for several days before we could find one. The casa's get punished by forced closure.
So, as I said, there are many reasons to see Cuba, and I highly recommend it for learning, experience and vacation, but definitely not for mongering unless you have no choice, the money you THINK you're saving is well offset by the hassle and risk.
Peace

DocBill is right!
I have been in Havana few weeks ago, and this is defenetly not the first place of choice, if sex is what you have in mind.
Girls are around, no problem; You can get girls in the street, in bars, in cafes, anywhere, but they are all hard pros, and those you can find in any other place.
It seems that the GFE type and novias all around days are gone, or at least in deep suspension.
I had no problem though, to bring chicas to my casa, as I had a separate entrance with my own key, and ususally brought the girls late at night when the casa owner was a sleep. You just need to find such a casa and then no problem to bring over chicas.
I had good time in Cuba. But if sex is the purpose of your trip go elsewhere. Brazil and Colmobia in LA are much better, so are Thiland and the Philipns in Asia and Germany (Best FKK clubs in the world!) and east Europe.
Adios!

Havana is not the place it used to be. Nightlife has diminished to the point that there is less going on than in a typical European city. Most of the discotheques outside tourist hotels have been closed. The only exception I know of is the Rosalia de Castro.
The bars are also being attacked and many formerly lively places are almost empty. There are a few foreign males wondering where the girls have gone !
Girls are still allowed in your room in Havana, but it is now very hard to find a nice girl. Most seem to be hardnosed professionals who will ask for $50-100 and not be worth $10.
Police are now fully prepared to hassle girls who are with tourists on the street, often just whisking them off to the police station. This is even happening to tourists who have long term girlfriends, unconnected with prostitution.

Have some questions on Cuba.
1. Is it true that Cuban girls are very hairy and do not shave? Who of them are the hairiest: black, mulatto, creol?
2. What are the places in Havana where mainly black girls go?
3. Is 1830 still open? If yes, what is the current situation there?
4. Has anyone stayed at Villa los Pinos (circa Santa Maria del Mar)? Is it possible to bring in girls there (with a bribe to security etc)?
Thanks in advance for any info available.
-
Yep, all of Cuba girls I encountered are hairy by US standard. One light-skin Mulatto are less hairy. All of others are white.

Just got back from a two-week trip in Cuba. I spent the first week in Nueva Gerona on Isla Juventud and the second week in La Habana.
Nueva Gerona is like an armed camp. Since the two highjackings there, the military and police are all over the place. The repression is in full force. You cannot be seen on the street with a chica unless in a large group either day or night. Cabs must be taken everywhere. At the disco, police watch your every move both inside and outside.
Fortunately, I had a girlfriend cultivated from my last visit in January when things were much more laid back. I had the whole second floor of my casa particular and hosted several private parties there. I also went to the Hotel Gaviota pool where things were OK.
Havana was the opposite. Since the arrest of the dissidents, the police now feel that all is under control and there were very few police on the street. We still took cabs at night, but were unmolested. A friend who came along has a girlfriend in Havana. He purchased one of the $100 letters from the Cuban Department of Justice (is that an oxymoron!) and the few times he was challenged walking with his chica, the cops backed off after seeing the letter. I had taken my Isla chica to Havana, but she was terrified to go out much. We did go to dinner most nights and a few nightclubs. She got in some shopping.
However, the government has cancelled the annual festival normally held around this time of year. They’re afraid of too many drunken Cubans assembling on the street.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get a chance to check out Johnny’s (Rio), Rodeo or any of the usual haunts for working girls.
The Cubans as a whole seem more depressed than I have ever seen them in the last eight years. There was very little tourism.

Hello all,
Since I'm so grateful to all of you for all the info that I've been able to obtain here, I felt that the least I can do is write a report on my last trip to Cuba (Habana), the last week of May 2003. I know it's been a long time, but I hadn't had time.
Overall, I concur with many of the other members, these days Cuba, at least Habana, is too much of a hassle and the girls are all about money. They all ask for ridiculous amounts (70 to 80 dollars at least, for a 2 hour session), and the service they give, is not the best, let's just call it that.
I'm not saying that you can't have a good experience, but the prevailing attitude, so to speak, makes you feel unconfortable.
So, let's get to the point. I found my girls at the hotel where I stayed. I had to stay there, since I was there on business and the company was paying for it, not because I did not know about the casas particulares.
1.- Hotel Copacabana (Miramar, just by the side of the Ocean). If you get to the lobby / bar at, say around 8 PM, you'll find several lonely girls, some good looking ( 7s 8s), some others not so good looking. They'll always ask for 2 or 3 drinks, and then they'll ask you to go to their "casa", for which they'll try to charge 30 USD, just for 2 hours! plus 50 to 60 USD as a service charge. Of course this is a rip-off, and you'd have to be stupid to accept, so you can negociate, and get them to charge 50 - 60 for the whole deal.
Beware of two girls:
Lidmay and Flora:
I did Lidmay, cause she's a good looking 21 year old brunette, nice ass, little but nice tits. On the other hand, Flora is fat, brown hair, round face and looks like she is in her late 20s, not very attractive. They wanted me to do them both, but Flora being so unattractive I decided to do Lidmay. Her fat friend just wouldn't leave us alone when we were trying to do our thing, she was a real pain in the ass. Tried to send her packing but she decided to stay anyway. When I was done, they tried to charge me twice the amount we had agreed on. I said "no fuckin way, I only did one of them, if the other one stayed it was because she wanted to." They didn't get off my case till I got in a cab and left them yelling at me.
It doesn't end there. Everytime I got out of my room I would find them there, waiting for me, and they would want me to buy them lunch, give them money, buy them things. They wouldn't let me go looking for other girls. In the end I just had to be rude to them and tell them to fuck off or I would call the police.
2.- "La Maison" There's a show there every night (stand up comedians and shit), and at the bar you can find many lonely ladies looking for action. I had a couple of girls from that joint, same price as before.
I have to go now.
(To be continued)
