Posts: 11Tropicoco Hotel
Anyone been to Tropicoco lately, I heard its being renovated and turned into a 4 Star soon. Heading there end of August. Also is the Gunanabo Club / Guanimar still open, how about Taramar Disco. Had fantastic time at these places last years, hoping to repeat.

Hey fellas,
Can anyone recommend a nice, clean, private, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom casa with a kitchen very close to Hotel Capri / Salon Rojo / Hotel National? I'd really appreciate some help on this one.
Thanks

Posts: 734Those flights to destinations outside Havana are all beach resorts. The poor service and horrid food will keep Americans away as you can go to a beach just about any where with better food and service.
Havana. American Airlines has had 3 a day flights from Miami for as long as I can remember. I thought only National Airlines were allowed to fly into the capital (as per airline agreement) but saw the new cruise ship charters flying into Havana. I don't quite understand it. I have also been reading that those Cuban cruises aren't quite the big hit they had expected as interviews with passengers voiced their displeasure with "roughing it".

Posts: 344Habana flight schedules
Hey fellow mongers.
Just read the article and thought I pass it along.
Living in L. A. It's nice knowing that Alaska was awarded one daily flight to la Habana! No more Cancun or Miami for me, LOL.
Now hopefully they'll bring the prices down for us.

Posts: 734Spain? Wtf? Why wouldn't you just go over to one of the islands, open up a bank account and get a credit card. Far more practical than Spain.
Your credit card may work through some businesses because they are Spanish joint ventures and will process through their home office. i. e. send groceries to your new novia through www.mallhabana.

I thinks once Cuba is allowed to use USD on the international arena a lot of banks will make the transition allowing use of their credit cards on the island. Also, another issue is the lack of infrastructure in Cuba, what good is a CC if it'll take half a day to get a transaction approved!
BTW, the name of the bank in South Fla with the approved CC is Stonegate Bank. Link below.

Posts: 205Hey Mondo,
I want to say I looked at this and there is a hang up. I think you have to apply in a branch location and they are only in S Florida or the SE. Definitely not an easy fix. Hoping another option comes up soon.

Posts: 344Cuban tv on Dish network
Hey fellow mongers.
Sorry forgot about this!
Just got word about Dish network carrying Cuba's programming on its site.
For those of you that are fluent in Spanish this is probly good news. If you do speak Spanish I'd recommend "Vivir del Cuento" I think the most watched comedy show on Cuban t. V.
Actually Mr Obama did a cameo appearance with Panfilo (the main character on the show) when he visited Cuba (it's taped and edited and aired afterwards).
This program shows a view of life in Cuba from the point of view of different characters that reflect Cuba's every day life and struggles to get by. I watch it online on Saturday thru Cubavision Internacional.
