Havana

[Catire]

If they're super hot high end girls 100 isn't bad. I paid 40-200 in DR, just depends on location and quality sometimes but not always. If the girl would go for $500 in the US, I definitely don't think $100 would be a rich tourist price.

They "insist" on it because they find enough people who will pay it. Whether it's idiotic to pay that price for a hot Cuban girl depends on the girl and the fool with whose money she is parting.

Cuba is full of hot women. Of course, many of them aren't selling themselves period and many of those who are, are not openly doing it in Vedado nightclubs populated by horny tourists.

So do what makes you happy (and "super hot" is in eye of beholder) (and super hot in looks doesn't mean super hot in bed).

So many variables.

My best friend is in Cuba now and announces that the pretty ladies at the clubs in Vedado insist on 100 CUC and more. Is this standard now? And rich tourists pay this happily?

Not normal at all. That price is for suckas.

Which areas and times along the Malecon?

THANKS GUYS. I will report back after my journey.

MjT.

Has anyone here ever done the VIP bottle service in Havana clubs? Wondering if it's the same price as in the US or not. In these higher end clubs are the bottle girls and stuff pretty easy to take out?

If I am approached by someone along The Malecon with an offer that interests me, where do we go. And how safe is it in general? Any tips or advice. I am an imposing figure, and do not look like an easy mark by any means, but my Spanish is very minimal and I'm not on home court. Normally I prefer to control my environment. Is following someone to a local casa of their choosing a big mistake?

I would say generally you're safe going to their choice of casa. Crime against tourists (other than simple theft) isn't that common in Cuba. If a Cubano gets caught doing something to a tourist, it's over for them.

Fantaxy still open I have them on my facebook and they uploading new pic from events every week. You can look it on facebook just put on search fantaxy bar.

Thanks man, I actually found nothing on them in a google search. Some amazing talent in those photos, wow.

T minus 4 days to my Havana trip. I'm a little more excited about this trip than most trips I've taken. Perhaps since it was the forbidden fruit for so long as a US citizen. I have a girl lined up from internet just in case I can't find anything to my liking. We will be hitting up the normal spots, but I've told my buddy we should try the university and see how that works out for us. I like the larger selection. Just wondering if anyone knows if Fantaxy is still open? That's one of the clubs on my visit list, hoping to meet a Castro.

What I'm saying is just because they say "Guest friendly" doesn't mean that the casa owner won't show up with a book to log your guest in. Casa owners are a mixed bag, some are hands on, others are not. Hopefully yours us not.

Thanks. That is not something that I considered.

Has anyone experience of the hotel secotel carribbean, Paseo del Prado. I've got a couple of nights there before I arrange an appropriate casa probably in vedado close to av 23.

Seems like centro and habana viejo goes to sleep after midnight, so where are the best clubs. La rampa and vedado seems the best area.

I vaguely remember a couple of years ago going to a club st. Peters or petro's or something, a house out in the burbs, great times lots of chica's but on account of the alcohol can't remember what it was really called.

Anyone else recall it? Is it still going?

OK I googled and finally found a picture of the place. Its Las Piedras. I recall plenty of upmarket chicas. Is it still running til the early hours?

I have booked a casa that is "guest friendly". I have asked them if there is a gift that I can give that I can travel with that that is easy to bring but difficult for them to get (they ignored that part but said I can "converse" with a guest at the casa particular) but I want to award them for their accommodations. Any recommendations for a gift for future goodwill in our hobby?

When asked if you can bring local guests, you'll be always answered politely "no" (1/3) or "yes" (2/3).

But the yes ALWAYS means that you register the guest in the casa logbook (see previous posts), and often, no more than one chica per night, and very often, you'll be strongly suggested not to change girl every night. The difficulty is to find a chica ready to register.

As said before, go with the flow, and follow the chica at "her" casa, or any other place suggested from locals, after few intel. Cuba is very safe.

If I meet someone, can I take them back to the apartment to socialize or do I just need to talk to people in cafes and bars? I would never want a party or loud music. I am respectful and I would not violate your rules.

I was given the green light by 2/3 hosts that I contacted. Obviously if I brought a guest back for some Cuba libres we would just hang out and discuss the finer arts like 80's heavy metal and pro wrestling. (I don't see an issue).
