When you say these are the non-average cuban girls, do you mean this is higher end than La Cecilia / Salon Rojo / Casa de la Musica?
And what is the approach for girls that are "mas o menos" available? I imagine they aren't good to go right from the start. Appreciate the input!
[QUOTE=Kalifornication; 1336894]Sure, they are all. More or laess "mas o menos"- available, it's Cuba as you say. But these are the non-average Cuban girls that will ask for $100 and provide less than 100% GFE (note: Yea I know some of you players can make any jinitera fall in love with you within a 60 minute duration, why? Because you got it like that (smile).
You can get the same quality. If not better- outside of La Habana with allot more fun for allot less CUC.
[QUOTE=Paracite; 1336790]I just stumbled across this video of Don Cangrejo's, which is a seafood restaurant with an outdoor club. Has anyone been there and are most of the girls available? I'd assume so, given that it's Cuba, but part of me thinks it's too good to be true.
Here is the video, enjoy!

IMO, there are some smoking hot girls there. Is this indicative of the talent level at Salon Rojo and La Cecilia?[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]

There are some Cuban girls that because of their "world view", or the stigma of being with a tourist or because they just do not need the money (yes there are some Cubans with money) , that just will not have a relationship with a tourist. Some of these girls do end up at these clubs with their friends and are just their for their own entertainment. But, assume that most of the women in these clubs that you speak of are available.
When I say "they are the non-average Cuban girls", that quote is a play on another post wherein I suggest that the average Cuban does not make more than from between $15 - $25 CUC per month. The girls at the clubs -in my opinion- are jaded in comparison to the average Cuban girl (however, certainly less jaded than any pro you might find in any other part of the world). I am of the opinion, that in Cuba, you do not have to be with a pro. There are plenty of beautiful women outside the City of Havana that are not professional hustlers that will treat you very well and that will not even ask you for a dime. It will be your decision to offer a small gift to these girls. And you should.
God luck.

Never Havana Again!
I just got back from Havana, I stayed at hotel Club Acuario. The entire group was advised no guests were allowed in the hotel upon arrival. Next night, asked again, and was told $52 / day for guest. Then, I met someone who worked at the hotel, advised me $35 / day for a guest if I go through them.
I did register one girl, but I recommend not to. The Havana girls are spoiled, they will not like the food at the hotel and push you to eat outside the hotel. I also encountered the same problem with another monger, whose girl did not eat at the hotel.
Last time I was in Havana, it was 6 months ago and boy o boy, it has changed. Havana is expensive and people there are richer. Girls will not settle for lower than $50-$60. Club girls, $70 to $100. If you get lucky, a street girl may settle for $40. Almost all girls in Havana have cell phones, take taxis, and enjoy the good life, to them $20, $30, does not hold any value.
Havana girls also have attitude. They want to see if you are big spender. In the clubs, you better offer them red bulls or expensive drinks or else they just walk away. If you offer them a gift and it is not well know brand name to them, they don't even want it.
So yea, the game has changed, I am never visiting Havana again! I guess I just got lucky last time in Havana. If you do find yourself in Havana, and want cheap action, visit the beach near Hotel Tropicoco. You may encounter girls for $35. $40. But in Havana city and nearby, forget it.

Yes it is a little too much but I had no issues such as condom BJ,"dime leche" or any other bullshit. The funny thing is I picked up another chick in Holguin and when I offered her 20CUCs, which is the standard rate, she gets mad and says "I am not a puta!" LOL! She wanted 40CUCs so I booted her out. The point is you sometimes can't tell a good girl from a bad *****. I have come across bitches like you have mentioned in other parts of Cuba as well, not just Havana. I guess a ***** is a ***** no matter where they are from.

Heck, when I was in bici taxi, one young girl said hi to the driver, I told him she was sexy and the next thing I know, I am with her in my casa, paid her $20 for overnight stay and she was happy as hell and didn't wanted me to leave. Clubbing girls I met in Holguin accepted $30 with a dinner.
Similar situation in Cienfuegos, the going rate was $30-$40. I never paid more than $30 for overnight stay. Almost all girls accepted $30 effortlessly.
In Trinidad, girls were economical as well, $30, $40. Had one girl for two nights, paid her $40 total.
In Havana, the amount $30 is unheard of! The minimum the girl will settle for is $45 if she really likes you. The cheapest I had in Havana was for $40 for few hours, but she was not a looker.
I have been told by many mongers to visit Camaguey. They say it is cheap and the girls will settle for $20 with drinks. It is not popular tourist destination. I can't believe there isn't much reports on Camaguey here. If anyone can direct me or post here, that would be great.

Other Clubs
I'm planning to visit Havanna, but tired of Salon Rojo, has anyone have gone to La Maison or Casa de Moda?
Is is possible to get a girl from there, someone said their are models in that place.
I also would like to go to Santa Clara, Camaguey or Ciego. Any information on these places.

Goldman, Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, if all these la habana mongers get word of this, the rest of the isla wil be ruined and we will all be paying $100 por chicas por dos horas. Pinga!

Camaguey is good for 1-2 day MAX! I find it depressing during the daytime. Night time it is hit or a miss. It is the 3rd biggest city in Cuba and the only happening place is discoteqa Caribe. Sometimes the crowd moves to Casa de la Trova or somewhere else close to the main square.

Prices
I totally disagree with past posts. I have recently been with a couple chicas for the nite for 30$, same ones repeatedly with girlfriend experiences. I'm also not a fool to not think they might be casing the place out, but tell them the owner needs thier I. The. Which they don't and I go stash it somewhere till morning. I have also dated typical woman without them asking for anything but give them a few bucks the 3rd and 4th time they come over.
Also have had 2 excelent chicas in holguin repeatedly for 15$ nitely.

Downtown Casas
I've been going to Havana last 10 years and usually stay in Miramar or Vedado. Does anyone know a good quality Casa, for up to 3 persons near the Havana Libre? Downtown? I'm looking for something first class as per Cuba Standards; maybe with a pool.
