Havana

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

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.

If you're an American citizen, you can't bring your credit cards. They're invaild there. I don't want to walk around with gobs of cash,especially around the custom agents. Is there anyway I could get around that? Or a website that i can get a disposable card from a Canadan bank?

Gladiator and others:

How about names of the better clubs. I am going down there next week. Any tranquilo forumites plan on being there at that time? Has anyone on the forum had the pleasure of meeting a beautiful brunette in Habana by name of Marilys? She is from Holguin province in eastern Cuba.

I've just come back from an 8-night stay in Havana. It was my first time there, so my aim was to get a first impression of the sexual atmosphere in the city, rather than to carry out a thorough study, for which a longer stay would be necessary.

I was particularly interested in pros since they'd give me more flexibility than non-pros when it came to changing pussy on a daily basis, which is what I like.

I've found the Rampa (street 23) and surrounding area to be the most active and interesting zone, where you can find chicks during the day and at night till 3-5 am, depending on police activity. There're around 5-6 nightclubs in this area that are worth visiting. Thursday to Sunday are the nights when there're the most pussies in the clubs. The clubs are smallish and uninspiring with an average of between 20 and 60 chicks depending on the night. Many of the chicks in these clubs are hardened pros who put pressure on you to invite them or to take them with you. I preferred to ignore these ones and wait for a while in order to find an outstanding pussy, a pussy that really appealed to me and that wasn't so hardened.

The chicks that walk during the day in this area tend to have better attitude than their night counterparts, and also offer better rates, they are more girlfriend-style, though you can also find well-behaved pussy at night if you spend some time on your search.

I was only interested in all-nighters. The asking price at the clubs for all-night service was USD 50, but you can always negotiate it down to USD 30-40. The maximum I paid for a nightclub pussy was USD 40, but she was a 17-year-old black stunner. As the age of consent is 18 I had to take the usual measures so as not to get into trouble.

The asking rate on the streets is variable and normally within the range USD 20-50 for all night service. I got 2 cousins on the street for a threesome all-night long for USD 40 both. One was 23 years old and average type but the other was 19 and quite cute.

I didn't see any significant activity in the Malecon, the best pussy I saw there was an 18-year-old blond stunner who quoted USD 60 for a 2-hour session, which made me laugh, and she wasn't willing to negotiate. That blonde pussy is one of the biggest financial speculators I've come accross. It's against my religion paying USD 60 in a country like Cuba where monthly salaries are around USD 10-15. Paying such vast amounts would spoil the chicks and ruin that paradise.

I also got to know some non-pros out of El Vedado, in "normal" nightclubs, and I realized that most non-pros are up for grabs too, though they do expect you to spend some money on them with dinners, presents, etc, that is, whether you go with pros or with non-pros you'll have to spend roughly the same amount of money per day.

Morally, I don't see any difference between a pro and a non-pro in Havana: both fuck with you for money or other material goods. Anyway, as I said before, I concentrated this time on pros, I may research with more attention the non-pro world in Havana in my next visit.

In general, I consider Havana to be an excellent destination for pussy-hunting with a good variety of chicks of different races and ages. The scene would definitely improve if the authorities were not so narrow-minded and didn't scare the gilrs all the time with so many ID checks and arrests, but in any case it is still a place were you can't get bored.
