Santiago

[Petrolero]

There's a selloff to the hotel you stayed, $595 CAN with taxes. Was it worth it? Anything local going on in Guama or Chivirico, or did you have to go into Bayamo or Santiago? Did they have rental scooters at the hotel?

Anyone been to Guantanamo lately, more specific the towns of Jamaica and Manuel Tames?

Again this is not a mongering report. My girlfriend met me at the airport and she had set up a casa for us in the Santa Barbara section of Santiago. The cost for the casa was $20 a night with good hot water for showers.

An excellent sightseeing destination is El Moro. It is about 15 minutes away from where we stayed in Santa Barbara. It is a fort at the front of the bay. As you walk though the fort, you will feel like Errol Flynn in one of his movies. I also recommend the restaurant here. The special was for $12.00 and served family style. Not sure if it is all you can eat, but I sure ate like a pig. The cerdo asado ( pork ) was awesome.

Another restaurant I recommend, actually it is a paladar, is Restaurante Salon Tropical. The address is Fernandez Marcane No. 310 altos, e/9 y 10 Rpto. Santa Barbara. It was about a 1/2 block walk from our casa. The restaurant is located on the roof of a house and is outside. Very romantic, good food and with a slight breeze, it was wonderful.

One night we went to La Maison. The fashion show consisted of Six women and four guys. Of the six women, three were very douable. I'am not sure if you can take these girls out or not, but I'am thinking you could, probably at a higher rate. Entrance fee was $5.00 per person which included a drink, and a bottle of champagne. After the show we had dinner there, nothing to write home about. The food was just okay.

I enjoy Santiago better than Havana because of course my girlfriend is there, but also the scenery is better, not as much police presence, and not as much hustle. Lastly, my flights to and from Santiago from Havana, were on time. The first time I went, I had delays up to 2 hours. Hopefully, this is how it will be from now on.

Again, hope this helps,

Freebies are possible if you can talk spanish and if you have game. If you have game freebies are very possible.

Casa in the center of town are in $15 to $20 a day range. Casa in Repartos Santa Barbara, Suenos and Vista Alegre are in the $20 to $25 dollars a day range.


Girls in this town come in many diferent prices from freebies to $80 for the night (ussually the girls that you pay she will want to come with you and hang for free the rest of the nights)

Guys, one more thing, if you can afford it rent a car in drive to the Mayas or beyond. You will be rewarded be very well if you drive into Mayas or beyod here into the country side.

San Luis is another little town with alot hot prospect.

Good Luck

Been there last year,

"popular" places as Parks and 18 plantas are under police observation. Nothing that a little "wisdom" can't handle.

In Santiago there are chances to find darker girls than in Havana, and generally, cheaper. Let's say a semi-pro goes around 15$, a pro around 25-30$. Freebies possible.

Stay away from the Tropicana disco. Hardcore pro's and high prices for a quickie, most of the times.

Rent a motorbike, ride around, and you should still make it through. If you get a 7, my advice is to keep her, and start the "pool/restaurant/room/restaurant/room" typical life.

Bye.

Hi to all,

First post for me and i of course have chosen the santiago section.

I completely agree with Doc Bill santiago is much more better than havana from all point of views.

Gladiator,

The rate of a casa paricular in this period is 15$ if you contact direcly (i speak spanish) the owner otherwise take in account 5 bucks more for the commission to whom will introduce you. The room has 1 double bed, aircon, bathroom, hot water, and sometimes a small refrigerator or a radio with tapes.

I'll be there at the end of the month, I hope.

I haven´t been to Santiago for awhile, but it there was always much less police hassle and paranoia there than there is in Havana.

Hi guys,

Is the pussy in San Tiago cheaper than Havanna.

What prices?

[Rendorseg]

I'd suspect that they are a pain in the ass everywhere. In every city visited (about 8) up and down the island it was the same issue, just in some places it's a bit more paranoid than others.... Kind of sad.

[Gladiator]

Cubanito,

What's the police situation in Santiago. Are they a pain in the ass like in Havana?

Also, what's the going rates for all-nighters and casas particulares?

Thanks in advance

El Cubanito,

Thanks for the advice, leaving Oct. 22, and looking forward to a great time. I'll definitely be bringing along some vitamin "V". Will be staying at the Los Goleones. Trip was reasonable, $538cdn. plus taxes all inclusive, no single supplement. This is a first time for me, mongering that is. I'll be sure to post a trip report.

[El Cubanito]

EZ Pilot,

I just came back from Santiago this past month (September). Just walk or drive by Avenidas de Las Americas down by the Statue of Maceos or across the street by the University. You will need the V pill to handle all of them. Good Luck

A Vida LQ,

I posted that picture for her on that agency. She is looking for a sucker to get out of Cuba and then dump him or run away to Miami. That is where she wants to go. Good luck if you hook up with her. She is quite a number and she will rock your world in bed. BTW, she is NOT my girlfirend, sorry to burst your bubble pal.

Going to Santiago de Cuba for the first time later on this month, but from what I understand, this rookie monger has come on the Cuban scene a little too late. Can the expert mongers tell me if Cuban ladies can still be had easily in the Santiago area, or has the clampdown affected that somewhat also.

[A Vida LQ]

Hey, Cubanito

Your best girlfriend is not completely satisfied! She is searching for a husband!
