Posts: 1Trying to locate my old Havana Tour Guide
Back in late 1990's and early 2000's I visited Havana a few times and always had a German expat drive me around and basically grease all the tracks to hobbyist heaven. Anyone know him? I lost track of him and wonder if he's still.
Living in Havana. Back in the day, he was the go to man for getting a casa and getting into all the underground clubs and restaurants. I think his name was Henry?

Although, one time I was forced at the airport to pay for 3 days at a hotel. I am certain they bugged the room.

That's 1 of the places I read about it.
I also read in other places but I'm showing only the forum's information.
By the way, thanks for your Reply MrSoulo.

Fucking hotel maids in Cuba? Which hotel (s) are you referring to and where did you read about it? I've never read about this in the Cuba forum and every maid I've encountered in Cuba are either old, fat, ugly or any combination of the 3.
I'm certainly not calling you a lier, I'm just curious as hell.

So, I did not put that notch on my belt.

Posts: 8Sex with Hotel maids?
Well, I'm really confused between Thailand or Cuba. My goal is to stay 3 weeks and fuck some Hotel maids. Do anyone here know how should I approach them and how do I know if they're into it?
I Saw a lot of reports from guys in this forum saying they had success with Cuban hotel maids but I'm not sure if in Thailand will be easier. If you guys already done any hotel maid, which hotel should I go?

Be very wary when they give lots of small bills and coins when exchanging money at the CADECA. ESPECIALLY the ones at the airport. They capitalize on the fact that most of us are usually in a rush at the airport and don't always fully count our money (thinking since it's a government agency we should be safe) but they are thieves just like the hustler on the street.
The best way to avoid getting robbed when exchanging money is to only change a small amount $100-$200 (math is easier this way) and to always ask for a receipt. I can't tell you how many times the amount on the receipt doesn't match the money on the counter (at least 7 out of 10 times). Sometimes it's only a small amount $. 50 cents-$1. 00 but when you multiply this 200 times per shift that adds up to a way better daily salary than most North Americans make.
Many times when I ask for a receipt they will give it to me along with the cash they short changed me. And this is before I even have a chance to count my money and tell them it's short. They know full well I will find a discrepancy so they put the stolen money on the counter and don't say a word. This is about 4 out of 10 times. The other times they will play stupid, ask to see the receipt, pretend to re-count the money, act surprised when the math doesn't add up, apologize and pay the difference.
The duty free at the airport ALWAYS over charge. Most tourists are tired, are in a hurry to buy some souvenirs, booze and cigars before boarding and almost never do the math before paying at the cashier. The Cuban workers rely on these facts and use it to their advantage. I've caught them many times and called them out on it. They then do the same shit as the Cadeca workers (act surprised, apologize, etc). Due to these experiences I always calculate everything before paying or exchanging.

But if you are saying banks and hotels cheat you, are you saying they blatantly cheat you? Or because the prices are high, they get away with highway robbery?
One thing that agitates me is the Cuban Peso tax. It used to be, they would trade dollar for CUC evenly and accept dollars at businesses, then the Castro regime came out with a 10% to 20% tax when converting dollars, now I believe you are forced to convert whereas business no longer accept dollars. Screw that, I'm not vacationing there until they lift that tax.
Is the OP saying a Tropicola at the cost of one dollar or a Crystal beer at $2 is cheating you? Can you give some personal experiences. Again, maybe things have changed.

Are you joking, right?
Every Cuban is a liar and every chica is a cheater. The big hotels and banks cheat you all the time and more. However, it is very safe physically in Cuba.
