I was there about 4 months ago. Weather was perfect no rains. Stayed at Vedado area near Malecon and there was a lot of action. If you have a walk form afternoon to after midnight you will find a lot of chicas. To be more accurate most of the times they talk to you!

I was there 3 to 4 months ago. Stayed at Vedado area near malecon which I highly recommend. There was a lot of action in the street even near the casa at Vedado area and malecon. If you take a walk from the evening to midnight and later if you prefer, you can easily find chicas. To be accurate they find you most times!

Posts: 122Where to stay in Havana
I am making plans for my second trip to Havana in August. I was there in February and stayed in Old Havana at Parque Central. I'm looking for an Airbnd for this trip. Any suggestions on what area of Havana would be best? Old Havana, Vedado, Miramar?

Posts: 1749Don't want to copy Mundo007's whole post but I had the same experience. I inadvertently let them stamp my passport and just had to tell them I had been in Cuba. This happened in '06 and again in '09. The agents didn't seem to give a fuck.
Having said that, Yes the direct flight is nice.

I hope you see fit to revert back to the old USA policy tomorrow, us Canadians had things so good until the other guy changed the restrictions. The New York cowboys paying $100 to 150 usd ,3 to 6 months average cuban wage for ST chicas really screwed things up for us canuckers. Then you guys found all that new oil in the Dakotas and our petro dollar, the loonie crashed from par with the usd to having to pay $1. 40 cad for a greenback, and Raul pegs the cuc to the usd for why I don't know. So please Donald give Cuba back to us again.

What bothers me is we haven't even attempted to negotiate a better deal and are again trying to force our philosophy down the Castos throats, how has that worked before? Our strength in negotiating is the last 18 months of progress. Trump is going to give Raul an out to blame the stubborn Americans again. Hang on for the ride fellas.

My last trip I hopped on at LAX (Alaska Air has now direct flights from LAX) and was at Jose Marti Internacional in less than 5 hours! Also, all this convenience for $320 round trip! Yeah, I got a sweet deal since they were just starting this route, I think now its around $400 round trip, still not bad for the convenience.
As far as getting thru customs, I never had an issue although back in 2013 coming back from Cancun had to go thru customs in Dallas / Fort Worth and the customs officer asked me "where I'd been" told him straight out in my declaration card both Mexico and Cuba, he gave me a dirty look and said, don't you know you are not supposed to go there?" Just told him straight out that I thought this was a free country so what's wrong with going to Cuba. After this he just gave me a dirty look and went thru my bag but that's the end of it.
One more thing, just in case the Cuba policy gets reversed, which knowing Trump's MO, he can prolly talk his way into blaming the Cubans for his policy change, I suggest you do not lie while going thru customs coming back. I have a friend that was caught lying and he got himself in trouble and had to hire a lawyer to avoid a possible 10 grand fine! (this was back in 2008).

BTW, below is an article form Cubadebate. In case you are not fluent in Spanish just highlight the whole article (right click after highlighting all the text) and do a google translation.
Such article gives you a different perspective from the Cuban side and you'll be able to understand some very interesting facts about the embargo / bloqueo.

I have to say if you look at things from a Cubanos / as perspective the majority of them would like normal relations with the USA since there have been some improvement for lots of them.

Actually the few amateur gringos I do see now aren't a problem, because there are so few as we speak. I see your point though; preserve it for the few who appreciate what it has to offer.

The current USA President has decided to announce his new Cuban policy on June 16-2017. Its the location (Miami) that should have us a little worried about this new policy. He wants to make his announcement before the South Florida Miami Cubans. Don't expect anything good but let's hope he doesn't chop the tree completely down.

Had a couple of days of Turista, so that cut into my time quite a bit, and I was afraid to move around too far for 2 days, which sucked, but can confirm that Casa de la Musica is indeed better during the week with no US weekend crowd. Went to Don Cangrejo for the first time in a long time too. I was shocked when they told me the entry was $25 CUC, but I had my first timer friend with me and we wanted to go so paid it. Havana Club girls with free samples just inside the door. Live music started even later than it used to at 1:30 am, but the club was full of gorgeous girls. Staring price was $100-120. Snort. Guffaw. Chortle. I'm afraid I might have laughed too hard and she stalked off and then I became persona non grata to her little circle of friends. My wing pulled a girl for $60 but I left empty handed. One interesting piece of info was that a couple of the girls said that when they don't work Don Cangrejo they work at the Tocororo club, which is one that I don't know. If anyone knows about it or can check it out would love to hear about it. These were really good looking girls and I'm betting prices are much better where the guy doesn't have to subsidize the ridiculous entry fee. Of course it was a special event night, but still.
As a side note the Capri is now selling internet cards at $1. 50/ HR, which is decent. El Litoral still makes an excellent meal and the California Cafe makes a pretty decent meal relatively cheap (tropical shrimps excellent). Water issues all over Vedado at the moment.
