Note the advice of others, if what you like are huge fake boobs, which often tend to come with fake blondes, then Cuba is not the place for you. The casa / hotel debate has been discussed here many times before and casas always win out, and you are going with someone who knows the ropes. In fact, I would suggest you read back at least a year, as Cuba has many quirks that are unique. Hopefully, your next post will begin with the following sentence. "I just spent some time reading the Cuba section and have some follow up questions. ".

1. Legally, you cannot rent a house in Cuba. You can rent a room in a house.

2. Hydro, gas etc is cheap probably less than $1. There are currently shortages, so food prices are higher than normal which is generally higher on all the islands.

3. If you have not travelled into less than 1st world standards, Cuba may be a little bit of a shock for you. Example, toilets do not have the flush intensity so you end up putting toilet paper in waste basket beside you. That freaks out some people.

4. Things are changing but it still is a communist country. In a communist country, the service provider tends to be king, not the customer.

If I were in your shoes, I would heed the other advice given previously and take my friend up on his offer.

You should stay at your friend's aunt house! Especially if it's your 1st time. That will make introductions faster and safer from possible blackmail by corrupt jineteras, chulos and policia who are always on the lookout and "love American eye candy" too!

But why would you come to Cuba if you "love big fake breasts like in Colombia" Cubanas are generally more slender and are not known for big breasts.

Not hard to rent if you are familiar with the area and know locals!! Nowadays you can go online for casas!! But make sure you have 2-3 reserved. Cubans need money now not later!

Hence my advice to you: accept your friend's offer and then see once there if you still want to rent solo. At least you'll have local help. In Cuba they have real people to people networks for EVERYTHING you need!

Unless you have a reason to rent solo, you should stay with a Cuban family as long as both accept terms!

My friend is Cuban, he visits anually and stays with family. He tells me stories of hot, horny, pretty young chicks, who love American eye candy. So I was sort of interested I love big fake breasts like in Colombia, but whatever I'll give Cuba a try.

But here is the catch, he says I can stay with him and his aunt and help her pay electricity bills and maybe food costs and small things. I said how about I get a hotel, he said it costs money to bring a girl to a hotel and most security guards will not allow it even if you bribe them. So I said why not just rent a house or a beach house for two weeks (my planned stay). He says its too dangerous the girls can rob you or call her friends to steal things from inside etc.

Is renting a house for 2 weeks really that difficult in Havana? Is it even possible to find nice beach houses?

It is great info. Do you have a pic of Heidi?

Sorry dude, no pics. I never take pics of chicks I'm not banging. LOL.

Anyway, she'll be easy to find. Super skinny, blonde, tattoo on her finger, soft spoken (but still a royal count), speaks very good English (which is extremely rare over there). If your having problems finding her just ask one of the security.

[MrSoulo]

How did you book the Tropicoco if you will never pay for something sight unseen.

Not my first "Rodeo" dude. I've been to that area many times before and have stayed at Tropicoco numerous times.

There's a skinny blonde named Geidy (Heidi) that you can find at Cabaret Guanimar in Guanabo on most nights, she speaks very good English but is a shark! Negotiate upfront, she will ask for $50 but will accept less, do not pay her more and do not pay for her return taxi.

My friend fucked her a few times and said she was an amazing lay. But she is a conniving shark and I personally can't stand her, to the point where I cussed her out for trying to rip my friend off.

Quality of chicas in that area depends on the time of year. I was just there last week and the talent on the beach was phenomenal! August is the best time to go to Cuba as they are all on vacation and you have much more to choose from.

How did you book the Tropicoco if you will never pay for something sight unseen.

I reserved Tropicoco for the first day until I found a casa. This is important for 2 reasons:

1. It looks good to the immigration when you land.

2. Even if you book and pay for a casa in advance don't be surprised if you find some stranger sleeping in your room when you arrive.

Reserving a hotel for your 1st day also gives you a full day to go scout out some casas in person because the photos you see on the internet are often 10 times nicer than the place actually is. I'm a hands on kinda person, therefore I will never pay for something sight unseen.

So to answer your question, I found the most pimped out casa in the whole Guanabo / Boca Ciega area. It's owned by a Cuban American and as such, it looks like a home you would find in a Miami suburb. It has a large in-ground Pool and 7 bedrooms. Unfortunately they do not rent out individual rooms, the owner is loaded and doesn't need the money, so you will have to rent out the entire house. Which was fine with me and my friends cause the house is fantastic and we had total privacy.

Can you give some more details on the Casa in Guanabo? Thanks.

[MrSoulo]

Just a quick question, where did you stay while their, any and all info would be great, thanks, trying to go in the next couple of weeks, weather permitting!!

I know this must be a newbie question. But please bear with me. I have gone through about 100 pages of previous postings. But I get the mixed message.

First question. What is the quality of the chicas near Tropicoco. I know tastes differ, but I read some postings that complain the poor quality of chicas.

Second question. If I am correct, the ST price for a chica is 30-40 CUC. What is the LT price?

Third question. Can I find some chicas near Tropicoco speaking decent English? I know most of of them probably cannot speak more than a few words of English. But is there a possibility?

Many Thanks.

Oh my god. That was some funny but true shit! You just made my day. What is even funnier is when the Cubans are pulling their scam shit and you call them out on it. When you yell them to stop treating you like Yuma. And then, . Watch them try to explain how they are not scamming or treating you like Yuma.

Mr. Gogo, as you know there is no bus ride in Havana that is 1 cuc, it is some ridiculously low amount, I think it is 5 pesos.

Taxi scam is another one most new mongers should be aware of. First the scam by taxi drivers who guide to a casa which is cheaper, but the ride back and forth is 3 times expensive. Second, by the chicas. It is fair to assume that most of them do not have a car in their family and all their travels are in local buses. There is no stigma as that is how over 90% of the cubans travel around. So, when we approach a chica and ask her to come over the next day, it is not a bad idea to tell her to take the bus, worst case, ask her to take taxi collectivo and not a private taxi.

The bottom line is this. Check any of the five applies to your situation.

- chica loves you for whatever reason.

- she believes that you will parachute her out.

- she believes that you will send her money every month.

- she believes that you are a regular, and will be coming over many times over the year.

- you have given her hope and made her believe that you will help her repair / build home.

If any one of them apply then you do not have to be that cautious with her.

If not even one of them apply, then expect to be scammed, screwed and cheated one way or other. This is just the rule of the game. Once you accept it then the trip is fun, you see the scam unfold in front of your eyes, you either stop it or let it happen as you wish.

Scam that I knew was happening but let it go.

1. One of the chicas put a nice face and said she wanted to work hard. She showed me her skills of pedicure / manicure. The only problem she had was no cuc to buy the Chinese made hair style device. I paid her 60 cuc for that, after a day or two she promptly gave it back to the negra seller and got the money back. She told me that the device is no good, and she is looking for a good one, offcourse she never found a good one.

2. This kid is studying in Univ of Havana, and an old laptop that will be thrown away here will be of great help to further career. Atleast that is what I heard. I did not say a word, my mate felt bad and gave an old laptop. It was promptly sold once he left. When asked, the guy said since it is old, he had given it for repairing.

3. Once an old lady said she can make 10 shirts for 40 cuc. There is no doubt in her skills as she altered one of my suits to perfection. Except that she only made 5 shirts, which are made from totally different material than what she showed and I could never be able to wear them. Also the material is in short supply. So I left it as she said she will give it next time. Too bad next time she was not working as the policia caught her working this way (4. Casa owner said the community watcher is not happy with chicas coming in and out of the casa, and so it would be nice to present a bottle that I have brought over from dutyfree.

5. One guy said he could find the best normal chica for me. Lets go around looking for one. After 2 hrs running around and paying 20 cuc to the driver, the guide did his errands, met his distant relatives and gave ride to his ex novia to where she wanted to go. I got nothing. Oh well he bought me coconut water, sugar cane juice and kept me entertained all the way.

So, in my next trip I expect to be scammed too, also expect to score a new cubana who will make that scam hassle nothing. That is Cuba for me.
