Havana

[Gladiator]

To LittleDickPride,

With regard to bars/discos names please see below my post of 12 June.

To get a good casa particular I'd recommend booking the 1st night in advance in any casa close to la Rampa, and once there ask around and take a look at several ones. I saw that good independent apartments cost USD 25 p/night and very good ones cost USD 30 p/night. Make very clear before accepting it that you'll take girls now and then, and if you intend to do threesomes make very clear too that you may take more than 1 girl at once. I had problems with the witch that owned the apartment where I stayed because I took pairs of girls a couple of times and the witch said no more than 1 pussy was allowed at a time (luckily she told me that the following day, when I had finished with the chicks). Then I asked around and found out that some apartment owners don't care the number of girls you take, so it's best to ask in advance.

As regards cultural activities, apart from pussy-hunting and beer-drinking, I didn't really have the time to check the scene too much, though there doesn't seem to be too much going on anyway, besides sightseeing in Old Havana. I loved to go to the beaches -Playa del Este- that are just 20-30 minutes away by car, they were great. I liked to take 1 o 2 chicks with me to have some fun on the beach too. A semi-desserted wonderful beach in the Caribbean, a cold beer and 2 young mulattas at my side, it wasn't a bad way of spending the afternoon...

I just returned from one week trip to Havana. I picked up a reasonably attractive girl on the sidewalk in front of La Copelia across from the movie theatre which is also close to Habana Libre Hotel. This is a good spot for chicas although sometimes it is heavily monitored by police. However, she seemed unperturbed by their presence. Alot of the chicas I have picked up recently have been from "El Oriente" or eastern Cuba. Have any others on the forum noticed the seemingly overrepresentation of chicas from that part of Cuba? Anyways, she initially asked $50.00 but jumped on counteroffer of $30.00 if I picked up taxi as well. The pool at Copacabana Hotel in Miramar is packed with jiniteras on the weekends. However, they are mostly pros and the girlfriend sex aspect is lacking.

I was tempted to go into "Las Vegas Cabaret" near Habana Libre in Vedado. The girl at the door collecting cover charge ($5.00) was tall, buxom, good looking brunette and very friendly. However, the place looks like a dive so opted out. Has anyone checked it out? Also, what's the status with Johnny's (Rio Club) in Miramar? How are the girls there? Are the asking prices as outrageous as those at El Turquino on the top floor of Habana Libre? I agree with comments about negotiating hard to keep the fees down. Given wretched state of Cuban economy, $30.00 should be max.

Has anyone hooked up with knockout chica by the name of Marilis or Marilys from Moa, Cuba? She is exceptionally hot. I lost her contact data and I'm dying to hook up with her again. Keep the posts coming.

JWadd, you're right: overpaying is the quickest way to spoil chicks and eventually ruining cities.

I paid an average of USD 30 per chick per night (all-night service) in Havana, which in my opinion is a high rate considering the state of the Cuban economy. The price in Cuba should be in the region USD 10-20 p/chick p/night, so we really need to stick at it and negotiate even harder with the pussy in order to bring down the rates.

From what I saw, most chicks are willing to negotiate and tell you the initial asking price in the hope that you're a real sucker and accept it straightaway. In total, I only met 3 inflexible chicks who weren't willing to negotiate, and I just moved on to the next pussy. With so many pussy around the negotiation game is at our advantage.

I've heard of some spoilt paradises, such as Rio or Santo Domingo, with cute chicks asking for -and frequently getting- USD 100+ p/night. Let's prevent Cuba from being spoilt in the same way.

Thanks for your info. Could you provide us with some specifics? Which bars / discos have you been to get the chicas? Do you recommend a particular casa particular? Besides having fun with the jineteras, is there any other / cultural activity one can have? Thank you.

Best

Thanks for the info. I am more familiar with LOS too, but do like latin chicks, I hope to get there soon and will recant my experiences here. In the meanwhile I will read these pages with interest.

wickedwilly,

I'm not a Cuba expert, but I've recently spent a few days there and can reply some of your questions.

You can find there cute chicks of all colours. They are quite good in action, even the younger ones.

If you read the messages below you'll find the going rates at the moment for LT & ST -always negotiable.

You can take the chicks whenever you like.

The scene (street, bars, etc) is probably the safest on earth: police is omnipresent. However you should be extremely careful when you take the chicks to your room, some of them tend to be light-fingered.

For best pick-up places see below messages on this board, basically they're just streets, bars and discos.

Unfortunately there are no go-gos in Cuba nor sex shows of any kind. Don't expect to find Pattaya there. In my opinion Thailand is light-years ahead of Cuba in the sex scene. From what I saw the only advantage of Cuba over Thailand is the amazing variety of races you can find there. But having said that, I must admit Cuba is an excellent place to enjoy pussy.

You can get girlfriend-style chicks there too like in Thailand; though, in general, I find Thai girls to be sweeter and not as money-minded as Cuban chicks. In any case, I have more experience in Thailand than in Cuba, so I really need to explore better the Cuban scene to get a broader picture.

I hope this helps you.

I am a complete newbie to Cuba and am thinking about a trip. I wonder if I could ask some advice. I speak a little Spanish, but cannot hold a long conversation.

How do the women rate here? I like tall, attractive, thin waisted but not too skinny girls.

How are they in action? Can one find a GFE like Thailand?

What are the costs of ST and LT.

Can you take them to salsa clubs?

How safe is the scene?

Where are the best pick up places (go-go's, bars , street...)

Any other words of advice would be very welcome.

Many thanks to all

Como estan amigos?

I am to spend a couple of days in Havana on my way to Central America. Can anyone provide specifics about:

1) casas particulares: I am looking for upmarket rooms (apartamentos de lujo) in the range USD 20-25. I would like to have 2 or 3 such addresses near La Rampa, with the name of the owner and the phone number. Calling in advance is a good idea to avoid being driven crazy by a cab (pun not intended) at 1 AM!!;

2) Discos: I am trying to ferret out the CURRENT hot discos in Havana. I stress that things change very fast in Havana and the information that is provided must not exceed 3 months of age! Can anyone provide us with 2 or 3 updated tips?

Thank you.
Regards.

I am arriving in Havana Sat. night. I am going to stay at the Copacabana the 1st couple of nights. At $110.00 a night it is a little pricey anyone know a less expensive hotel that is of the same quality?
Any hotel info on cienfuegos would be helpful also.
thanks

aavanta,


As far as Internet goes when I was there I went to the Capitolio it's in the vicinity of Old Havana inside they have a cyber cafe. No broadband here, were talking 28.8 modem (Hope you're not in a hurry, took me 45 minutes to check my e-mail.) at $5 an hour.

As far as meeting non-pros, renting a car is a good option, Since you speak spanish. On main streets there is always attractive women hitch-hiking, seems thats the norm there. Pick one up a little small talk, Invite for drinks, dinner whatever. Have pen and paper handy, to get a number or an address. Beware, If you're attractive and fun you'll have a hard time breaking free of her.

As far as casas are concerned, I would go to casaparticular.com get a casa for the first night and look around the old havana area and barter, this is the low tourist season.

Have fun

[aavanta]

I've travelled quite a bit to Eastern Europe on business and dipped into the lifestyle at the same time but never down South.

I'm wondereing if anyone can comment on the following strategy:

In general, I'd like to go for "non-pros" since I speak some Spanish. I'm 39 and in good condition.

If I want to rent a private apartment and take a quick trip of a round 5 days to Havana, is it realistic to get daily action with chicas from everyday life.

I also planned on renting a car just in case Havana was "shut down". If so, what beaces or cities make sense if I stay based in Havana.

I ask since it seems incredible to be able to hang around a college, school, store or lacal bar and bed these babes!

I also need to stay in touch via Internet, so should I get a room at the parque Central or Nacional and a casa particular, or does anyone know how to get onto the Internet.

Any help is appreciated as this looks too good to pass up!

Thanks

O.k. guys -- Gladiator hs given us some very valuable information down below (clubs names). Don't ruin the tip! Negoitiate! If you can afford a 50 USD dollar quote from a girl you can't say no to -- talk her down!

Those of us who go to Cuba often are getting shelled by 1 or 2 time visitors to Cuba who spendspendspend because it's so cheap. Please try to honor the punting code and don't take the first price quoted (if it's high).

Sorry for the preaching -- but I've seen Rio de Janeiro ruined by similar good tips.

Happy Hunting,
JWadd

*American Express* travelers' checks really work in Cuba? You mean, the ones where YOU SIGN YOUR NAME on them, so that American Express andf their friends in the US gov't know that you spent cash in Cuba?

To arecho66,

The best clubs for pros around la Rampa area are: Tikoa, Cheherezada, Amanecer, Karachi, Broquilla (on the 1st floor of hotel habana Libre) and there is also a sort of small restaurant-bar called 'Conejito' where you can find a few pros too, though I found the chicks in this last place were too hardcore to my taste. Most of them open at 10 pm, but the action starts usually later, at around midnight. All of them are within walking distance from la Rampa.

There was also a famous club on the top floor of hotel Habana Libre, but I didn't check it out as everyone told me the pussy there were more expensive, with asking prices of 100 USD and not in the mood to negotiate too much. The entrance to this club was also overpriced at 15 USD.

The best clubs for non-pros are: Tunel, Brindis (both close to Plaza Roja) and Rosalia de Castro (in Old Havana). But they don't open everyday, they were definitely open at the weekend but I think they close on some weekdays. It's best to get in at around midnight too.

If you find some interesting new places I missed please let me know.

DIY is asking about money.

Aside from carrying cash your options are:
1. Using travelers checks (including american express). However you should purchase them at a foreign airport. Remember checks are always return to the bank where your purchase them.
Charge in Cuba 3% weekdays, 4% weekends

2. Debit card Transcard
www.transcardinter.com
This is more expensive but is another option.
You may use it anywhere VISA and MC are accepted.
