Havana

[Eustisflman]

I did buy bottle water but was expensive compared to beer or mojitos. I boiled water at the casa and set it in the fridge each night. Then in the morning I had a days worth of water. It was a bit sandy but no stomach problems (full boil for 5 minutes).


Stayed in a casa on Industria and San Miguel close to all the street action AC in the bedrooms 4th floor with elevator and no security guards and had a balcony.

Breakfast was at Parque Central Hotel for 900 CUP each morning.

WIFI at same hotel was 500 CUP per hour.

Hotel Inglaterra wanted like 25 us for breakfast. I passed on that rate.

Exchange rate was 340 or 345 depending on what day I exchanged.

Prearranged ride from Casa host from airport $30 in USD to airport was $25 (used my left over CUP and covered the rest in UDS).

Did a lot of tourist things but Badoo girls were anywhere from $30 to $40. We would go out. Have some drinks or food and come back shower and fuck. I like the flacas. Everything small. Ass and tits) Yep a lot of them asked / wanted $100 to $180 no fucking way from me.

Picked up a few from the street or the Park for the same (30 to 40).

Day at the beach (Santa Maria) Taxi was $50 round trip (thank you for the driver contact Nomars777).

HOT as fuck from around 10 am till the afternoon rains. Reminded me of Thailand heat.

Entering into Cuba and leaving was like 10 min max for both directions.

Entering into US at Miami was also no problems or questions asked.

Havana airport has no working AC. This trip was the only time I did not wear jeans on the flights (cause I knew it would be hot at the airport) I was freezing on the plane but both my air legs were less the 1 hour.

Best food. Lobster and shrimp dinners at Cafe Mambo (2 slots down from Kilometer Zero and kitty corner Gran Hotel Bristol.

Great hang out / drink and people watch was at a little bar on San Rafael (maybe part of Hotel Inglaterra but at the end of the same building towards Consulado Had many coffee, beer and mojitos there.

Best mojito place for me was Cafe Mambo again. I think 400 CUP (I like them a little sweet).

Beers at tiendas were like 200 CUP.

I'm not new to Havana. Been a few times. I have historically changed money with my Airbnb host. I tell them in advance I want a lot, and I want 1000 peso bills. It's worked out.

How do I put this delicately? I'm going soon, and I'll be seeing a number of girls. If I ask my host to change that much money, I think it'll be obvious why. Like why would a person need that much money for a few days in Cuba.

So this time I want to find reliable money, changers who carry big bills.

I've never had to look for one myself. How do you do that?Well you'll be hit up by countless money changers on the street. I doubt your hosts think you are there for bible study, just ask them. It's just your guilty conscience at work hahaha. BTW the official places like banks and hotels will give you about 33% of the real exhange rate, so don't try that.

[AmericanPi]

BTW the official places like banks and hotels will give you about 33% of the real exhange rate, so don't try that.Totally know not to go the official route. It's actually way worse than 33 pct even I think.

But last time I was in Havana, just a few months ago, I was not hit up by any money changers in the street. I mean lots of jineteros who asked to help with whatever I need and I'm sure I could say I want money changer, but that seems risky. I guess I'm asking how do I find authentic, reliable, non-scammy money changers. Not the money changer equivalent of the guy who sells fake cohibas for 3 dollars each.

[AmericanPi]

You're asking for authentic relaiable non scammy illegal money changers. Good luck.There's nothing odd about my ask. You can buy street weed at home and still care that you're buying it from a guy who reliably produces a quality product. And changing currency in Cuba is hardly an underground criminal enterprise. It's not sanctioned but it's a known, accepted part of the economy. Every Airbnb host is happy to change to dollars for inflation hedged currency.

Anyone (else) have any thoughts?

I've never had to look for one myself. How do you do that?Hey AP,

Just wondering why you want to pay the girls in CUP? I was there back in March and I had no problem paying the girls in USD. I actually paid 1 girl in CUP and I was laughing to myself about how rediculous it was to watch her count it all out when a few USD $10's and $20's would have been much easier. Just paid the girls in USD after that.

On a couple occasions I was talking to a chica, "What do you mean the taxista doesn't want USD is he crazy?" Eventually he did take the dollars.

Again, you also want some pesos for the little mercados all over Havana, because their prices are in pesos. Those little stores have some useful stuff in them (eg, juices and sodas in cans made in the US).

Just ask your hosts to change your money and tell them its for cigars haha.

BTW you cannot walk down San Rafael looking like a Yuma and not have 5 guys ask you, "CHANGE MONEY?! Cohibas?

And my host was always willing to change back to dollars what I didn't use.

[EMode]

Honestly never occurred to me. I always made offers in CUP and they were accepted as such. And my host was always willing to change back to dollars what I didn't use.When I was there, I exchanged $300 USD to pesos and came back with about $100 worth of pesos. It wasn't a problem in my case cause a buddy was going to Cuba a few weeks after me, so he just bought them off me. I never worried about exchanging too much at a time. Nor did I ever worry about what anyone thought about me being there. You're a single foreign guy going to Cuba, I don't think anyone is thinking you're there to sell bibles. The host won't care since they want you to be happy so you rent their place again.

[Bravo]

Stayed in a casa on Industria and San Miguel close to all the street action AC in the bedrooms 4th floor with elevator and no security guards and had a balcony.


Did a lot of tourist things but Badoo girls were anywhere from $30 to $40. We would go out. Have some drinks or food and come back shower and fuck. I like the flacas. Everything small. Ass and tits) Yep a lot of them asked / wanted $100 to $180 no fucking way from me.

My last trip to Ciba was in 2001, before 9/11. Are you telling me that girls in Cuba are now asking for 180 Dollars for sex? Holy shit! They wanted 2 years of a typical Cuban's salary? Have things changed that much?

[Hilfinger]

I was there again in January, first time since the pandemic. I have been going to Havana and other cities since about 2010. Just want to help out the people that have not been there before, and the ones that haven't visited in many years.

Like everywhere else, things changed for the worse over the years, especially once Trump took power, and then the pandemic put the final nail in the coffin.

I used to go to clubs in Miramar, where all the better ones were, and there were about 60 ladies outside waiting for a foreigner to take them inside. Inside there were a few also, that knew the bouncer. Looks wise, plenty of 7's, few 8's (in my rating scale). No problem anytime in clubs, flagging someone on the street. Prices ranged from 40-60 CUC (US equivalent back then). Towards the end of the Obama period, when he lifted some restrictions, the US and Mexican flooded the place. It was party time, Cubans had money, people happy, prices of ladies surged to 100-150 US in the clubs (always lower outside).

Fast track to post pandemic and I am lucky if I find a 5 in the streets or Badoo. The Badoo 6's want 100 US, but I guess in the land of the blind she who has an eye is queen. Also, club scene is dead. Regular Cuban ladies have no money to go out, so stay home. The attractive 7's and over that lived in the bigger cities are either married to a Euro, Canadian, Mexican or American; or sold everything they had and risked their lives in the hands of a coyote to make it to the US; or go to the clubs because they have benefactors, money from outside (and want nothing to do with yumas).

Just keep this in mind people. And yes, I understand that the available current crop is perfectly fine for many.

[Incrociatore]

1st trip to Havana. June 14-19 - one of the weirdest trips ever. I honestly don't know how I feel about this place. Half of me thinks it's the greatest place I've ever been, the other half of me thinks it's the worst. And the reality is it's probably somewhere in between. But enchanting enough that I've already got my return trip from 7/3 to 7/8 booked. We will see.
Nomars777.This is a fantastic review.

I would like to know how much did you pay for the accommodation, and how much where you paying for the meals. If you had troubles finding water and if restaurant had fresh fish Last time I was there, they did not have gasoline, and most restaurants didn't have most of the menu items.

Also, club scene is dead. Regular Cuban ladies have no money to go out, so stay home..I doubt they stay home. They prob just do free stuff. I wonder if they're all just available now on the prado or the malecóand.

[Eustisflman]

Picked up a few from the street or the Park for the same (30 to 40). That was USD.

Best food. Lobster and shrimp dinners at Cafe Mambo (2 slots down from Kilometer Zero and kitty corner Gran Hotel Bristol. 2000 CUP for lobster and 2200 CUP for Shrimp.

My casa was 25 USD a night.

[Eustisflman]

The few from seeking wanted 140 and 180 I was like no fucking way. I did have a few on Badoo ask for 100. But either we negotiated to the 40 usd range or I passed.

[Nomars777]

First Airbnb was on Aguacate street, which is on the opposite side of the block from a good, although EXPENSIVE restaurant called Cha Cha Cha. It's also 3-5 minutes tops walking from a place called Antojo's, which was one of my favorite places to eat when in Havana Vieja. I also got spectacular pina coladas as Antojo's and their mojitos were very good.

Second Airbnb was near Spanish Embassy, walking distance to Prado and Malecon. Really can't beat the location. The lady who owns it told me that because it's close to the Spanish embassy they NEVER lose power and I believe that. So if that's a problem for you, look at places near to the Spanish embassy as apparently that part of the grid is super reliable.

Another good food place was La Macorina, right on Prado. No idea of it's state owned or not, but the mojitos are top notch and the food was very good and also super reasonable. The service was also top notch. One of the ladies who works there is a pretty morena with light eyes, quite the look. Didn't attempt to take her home, but I would guess anything is possible.

El Biky (Vicky) is also good, but a bit of a taxi ride (2 k pesos) from Prado area, but the service was great, prices reasonable and food was high quality.

Best thing I ate was seafood Paella at a paladar called San Lorenzo. Stupid expensive at $25 USD, but I almost licked the bowl it came in clean, that's how good it was. Amazing.

Had zero issues with things not being on the menu at any place I went to, no stomach issues, all good.


This is a fantastic review.

Short trip, long report, so here goes:

Yep, only 2 full days, a crazy nightmare of a trip.

My preferred taxista picked me up at the airport. He's got a nice 2015 Peugeot with awesome air conditioning, super clean, well maintained, nice ride. Creature comforts, I need them. Probably why Havana frustrates me so much.

Got to Miramar area apartment. Got settled, walked down to Hotel Copacabana and grabbed a late lunch. Prices in CUP were reasonable, but I didn't realize that because this is a state owned hotel, the conversion rate there is 120 pesos to 1 USD. So I paid 3 x more than I should have for my lobster and 3 pina coladas and 1 mojito. Still at $30 USD, I didn't cry too much.

Lesson learned, always have at least 10-20 k in pesos on you, so if you stumble into a place with a bad exchange rate, you just pay in pesos.

WhatsApped my little teacher friend who showed up in record time to meet me (less than 20 minutes from Capitolio area, so she was primed to come fuck), we walked around and found a place that exchanged $ to pesos at 350:1 and all 1 k notes! YESSS!

Went back to my place, fucked like mad people for about 2 hours. Awesome. I showed her my end of June STD test results prior to going and she showed me hers, recently dated, and we fucked raw, which was amazing. Didn't cum inside her, but it was ok. Sent her home at the Primera and Setenta area, which is not what I thought it was, basically it's not an inside centro commercial, but rather a bunch of 2 story separate buildings, most with upstairs seating areas that overlook the ocean. At sunset, it was incredible. Had some ok shrimp tacos and mojitos at Mercy Bar and Grill. Not great, but the sunset view was spectacular. Got great photos.

As I was about to leave Mercy Bar, I look down and see a darker, thin, long wavy haired woman, about 30, who waved to me. I was drunk and horny, so I went down to see what was what. Bought her a mojito, then 2, we walked back to my place. Fucked her every which way, then the ass request came, "pontelo en mi culo, por favor". Ok, sure. Fucked her ass, it was great. Then she said she wanted $100, I laughed. Worked my way down to $40 USD plus $2 k pesos for a tax, so about $45. For over an hour, it was fine. As we were walking back to the Primera & Setenta area, she pulls me over under some trees, pulls down her panties and says, "fuck me more". Yeah, ok. Fucked her again for about 5-10 minutes, then we walked to Copacobana to see if they were open and stil serving drinks. Open, yes, drinks, no. She leaves, I go home, but then decided I wanted more drinks.

Walked back and had 2 more mojitos at a place directly west of Mercy Bar called Salsa Mora. Cheap drinks, well made, very nice. A table of 3 cuties near me waved me over and so I went and chatted with them. Could've had all 3 for $100 total, but I was completely fucked out at that point and declined. Bought them all 2 Cristal beers each over an hour and they seemed content with that.

Walked back to my place, then walked to Mio why Tuyo (zero customers, although it was open) and then to 2. 45 (closed). This was between 1 AM and 2 AM on a Wednesday, so probably my fault for choosing that night to walk around and check out the clubs, which was my main reason for staying in Miramar. Primera & Setenta ended up being the shit though, for sure.

Back to my place, slept till noon, my teacher friend comes back and we fuck again for 2 hours, then nap for about 4. Gave her some cheap lingerie I had bought for her at Target, she was super pleased, then she asked if I would contribute to the misa of her mom, who recently died of lung cancer (horrible coffin photos. Oof) anyway. Gave her $60 and sent her on her way. Of course she then asked for $250 USD, then $200 USD and that was when I blocked her phone number in WhatsApp.

Took another nap, went back to Primera & Setenta about 9 PM, this time to Marina Bar & Grill. Had some chicken fajita, which were really just fried chicken fingers. Considering this place has the best ratings on Google, I expected more, but it is what it is. Had 1 mojito, so as not to get hammered, and saw this super cute young morena come up and sit down with a guy about 4 years older than her who I thought was her boyfriend. So freaking cute it was incredible. Long straight hair, darker cinnamon skin, just my type. Best was, she got up and was dancing to the music and the way she moved her body, I thought, man, too bad she's taken or I'd be ALL OVER that. Paid my bill walk downstairs and guess who's there waving me over?

Yes, the cute morena. Claudia is her name. She wants to go home with me. Guy she was with was her brother, who apparently is gay. Whatever, not my deal. But yeah, let's talk. I'm pretty well fucked out at this point, due to the teacher having just left at 4 PM and it's now about 10 PM, but she is SO CUTE, I just couldn't take it, raging hard on ensued, and so we negotiate $60, but she says, "if I'm really good will you tip me?" I said it would have to stupendously good, but we will see. She laughs and says, Oh I am, so be ready. I will even offer the culo. Ok, sure. We go buy some Cristales, take them to my place and she does some dancing for me, taking her clothes off nice and slowly one by one, but leaving her panties on. I said, "those too now!" and she finally takes them off. Wow, what a body, almost too perfect to imagine. Ass just like it looked in the corduroy pants she was wearing, but so much better nude.

She sucks me, puts the condom on and rides for a while, I flip her over and fuck her missionary, legs over my shoulders, deep penetration and her pussy is quivering inside, which I really like. Then her legs and then, oddly, she jumps up and says, come with me. I'm like, where are we going? She takes me to the shower, bends over and says, "por cuatro". I still don't understand, but ok. Start fucking her from behind when she squeezes me so hard with her pussy I pop out and then she SQUIRTS all over the place. It was a squirt shower, in the shower! I love that shit.

Anway, then she says, "you know how I mentioned that I would do the culo?" I said, yeah. She goes, let's do it. I said, sure, but no condom, and with lube. It will work better that way. She thinks about it and agrees.

Lube her up, lube me up, slide it in, she gasps, grabs the sheets and reaches around to have me start stroking her. I figure wow, she's got experience, so I just start pounding away at her ass. She's screaming "Pinga. Pinga. PINGAAAAA. " This goes for about 5 or 10 minutes until I finally nut a tiny nut on her ass and we head to the shower.

She's gasping and shaking her head and says, you know, I lied when I said I had done that before. This is my first time giving up the culo. She seemed out of it, which was kinda funny. She asks, when is my asshole going to stop quivering? I said, "sorry about that, you made it seem like you were experienced in this, so I just went to town!" She seriously seemed dazed, then shook it off, we got dressed and she says, "You want to go back and we can drink and dance?" My brother is there, he's gay and will probably try to pick you up. I laughed and said, that's not a problem and no he won't. Good looking guy, not my speed. So we go back to Salsa Mora, upstairs, had 3 rounds of Cristales, which I paid for, danced, she grinded on me, they walked me home and I fell asleep.

Woke up to some bullshit on my phone from work, as well as my family here at home who needed me on Saturday, so I changed my flight back from Monday to Friday and that was the end of my trip.

I will say I had a great time, especially with Claudia who was a true gem. I ended up giving her $100 just because she was so nice, and we did so much crazy shit for 2+ hours and she was actually genuinely nice, so I didn't mind at all.

This trip was MADDENING however because my phone's e-SIM worked way worse in Miramar than in Havana Vieja, about 70% of the time I had zero internet, or very intermittent, so I couldn't even bring up Google Maps to search for a place to eat, or anything. Taxis were SUPER difficult to find, especially on Thursday evening for my teacher friend (ex-friend now due to her constant begging for money) and that was frustrating. Worse, while I was able to get my phone to work to change my flight at 7 AM on Friday morning for later that afternoon, it then stopped working till 12 Noon, so I had to go to Copacobana to use their internet and decided to get breakfast there for 1,500 pesos. Complete average crap. The sweet breads were good (palmier things with honey / cinnamon).

But, coffee. No cream, no milk. Sugar, yes. Napkins, no. In the bathroom, zero toilet paper and they didn't have any. I am thinking, What in the ACTUAL FUCK is going on here? But that was the frustration.

Finally get to Havana airport, and it's even worse than 3 weeks ago. The A / see is still not working and worse, the fans weren't blowing. It was nearly 2 hours in sauna like conditions.

Final verdict: Havana, at best, is about a 5/10 for me. Girls are hot, and if you find genuine ones, they are truly gems. The prices are all over the board, the constant need to figure out what exchange rate any particular place offers is maddening, the lack of consistent internet, or power, or toilet fucking paper is also maddening. I really wanted to love this place because I can fly out of my home airport at 9 AM and with no delays be in HAV by 2 PM. Short travel day, leaves lots of time for putas.

But I guess I'm a spoiled American now, but it is what it is. For now, I've compared Cuba to my previous favorites Bogota and Medellin and Aruba and all 3 of those are better. Truthfully Santo Domingo / Boca Chica is better because hotels are nice, food is consistently good, prices are reasonable and the girls fuck your brains out for $40-60 or $100 in the clubs and you never hear from them again vs. The constant nagging via WhatsApp from the Cubanas for phone recharges and sending money, it's ridiculous how consistently they ask for money. They at least have a different list of excuses vs the standard 2 that other girls use (my kid is sick, my grandma is in the hospital).

Anyway, I'm good with Havana, probably won't be back. I have $150 in pesos that hopefully my buddy who's going there in 2 weeks will buy from me, otherwise I have a stack of 200 peso notes as my final souvenir.

Nomars777 out!

[MisterJam]

Heading to Havana and going to be starting the Miramar area. Bringing some supplies for the people there. Clothing, soap, toilet paper, etc. I've been trying to network on Facebook but these chics think I'm sending them money for pictures and videos. The first thing they ask of you zelle or cashapp. I just block them. Most are probably scammers to begin with. $30 for videos and pictures. LOL shit is free on the internet. I spent a lot time with paisas and now I'm looking for Morenas. Brown skin, slim chics. All I see is more European, light skin, thick chics all over Facebook. Not what I'm looking for. Are there certain areas there different chics chill at? And what are the rates. I'm reading that chics are asking for $100. That shit is crazy and dudes are clowns if they are paying that. I never did street meat in dr or Colombia but I think this is the way in Cuba from what I'm reading, at least initially. So if that's the case, what streets should I focus on. I don't need to know about the streets where the trannys hang out. Seems like everyplace has a location for them. Smh I'll probably exchange about $500 to pesos and keep $500 in cash just to alternate. I'm not looking overnight chics just a few hours. What should I negotiate for that time frame? Thanks.

[Adinga]

Avoid the apps if possible. These girls have balls to ask for that kind of money, especially with the current economic crisis over there.

[Eustisflman]

Wished our timing would of aligned. I am under the same. I need basics. Cuba was a bucket list. No need for me to go again, unless my wingman convinces me since he missed out on this trip. Back to Ecuador on Wed for some cheap girls. Internet works and toilet paper is available jajaja.

Walked back and had 2 more mojitos at a place directly west of Mercy Bar called Salsa Mora. Cheap drinks, well made, very nice. A table of 3 cuties near me waved me over and so I went and chatted with them. Could've had all 3 for $100 total, but I was completely fucked out at that point and declined. Bought them all 2 Cristal beers each over an hour and they seemed content with that.

Walked back to my place, then walked to Mio why Tuyo (zero customers, although it was open) and then to 2. 45 (closed). This was between 1 AM and 2 AM on a Wednesday, so probably my fault for choosing that night to walk around and check out the clubs, which was my main reason for staying in Miramar. Primera & Setenta ended up being the shit though, for sure.

Back to my place, slept till noon, my teacher friend comes back and we fuck again for 2 hours, then nap for about 4. Gave her some cheap lingerie I had bought for her at Target, she was super pleased, then she asked if I would contribute to the misa of her mom, who recently died of lung cancer (horrible coffin photos. Oof) anyway. Gave her $60 and sent her on her way. Of course she then asked for $250 USD, then $200 USD and that was when I blocked her phone number in WhatsApp.

Took another nap, went back to Primera & Setenta about 9 PM, this time to Marina Bar & Grill. Had some chicken fajita, which were really just fried chicken fingers. Considering this place has the best ratings on Google, I expected more, but it is what it is. Had 1 mojito, so as not to get hammered, and saw this super cute young morena come up and sit down with a guy about 4 years older than her who I thought was her boyfriend. So freaking cute it was incredible. Long straight hair, darker cinnamon skin, just my type. Best was, she got up and was dancing to the music and the way she moved her body, I thought, man, too bad she's taken or I'd be ALL OVER that. Paid my bill walk downstairs and guess who's there waving me over?

Yes, the cute morena. Claudia is her name. She wants to go home with me. Guy she was with was her brother, who apparently is gay. Whatever, not my deal. But yeah, let's talk. I'm pretty well fucked out at this point, due to the teacher having just left at 4 PM and it's now about 10 PM, but she is SO CUTE, I just couldn't take it, raging hard on ensued, and so we negotiate $60, but she says, "if I'm really good will you tip me?" I said it would have to stupendously good, but we will see. She laughs and says, Oh I am, so be ready. I will even offer the culo. Ok, sure. We go buy some Cristales, take them to my place and she does some dancing for me, taking her clothes off nice and slowly one by one, but leaving her panties on. I said, "those too now!" and she finally takes them off. Wow, what a body, almost too perfect to imagine. Ass just like it looked in the corduroy pants she was wearing, but so much better nude.

She sucks me, puts the condom on and rides for a while, I flip her over and fuck her missionary, legs over my shoulders, deep penetration and her pussy is quivering inside, which I really like. Then her legs and then, oddly, she jumps up and says, come with me. I'm like, where are we going? She takes me to the shower, bends over and says, "por cuatro". I still don't understand, but ok. Start fucking her from behind when she squeezes me so hard with her pussy I pop out and then she SQUIRTS all over the place. It was a squirt shower, in the shower! I love that shit.

Anway, then she says, "you know how I mentioned that I would do the culo?" I said, yeah. She goes, let's do it. I said, sure, but no condom, and with lube. It will work better that way. She thinks about it and agrees.

Lube her up, lube me up, slide it in, she gasps, grabs the sheets and reaches around to have me start stroking her. I figure wow, she's got experience, so I just start pounding away at her ass. She's screaming "Pinga. Pinga. PINGAAAAA. " This goes for about 5 or 10 minutes until I finally nut a tiny nut on her ass and we head to the shower.

She's gasping and shaking her head and says, you know, I lied when I said I had done that before. This is my first time giving up the culo. She seemed out of it, which was kinda funny. She asks, when is my asshole going to stop quivering? I said, "sorry about that, you made it seem like you were experienced in this, so I just went to town!" She seriously seemed dazed, then shook it off, we got dressed and she says, "You want to go back and we can drink and dance?" My brother is there, he's gay and will probably try to pick you up. I laughed and said, that's not a problem and no he won't. Good looking guy, not my speed. So we go back to Salsa Mora, upstairs, had 3 rounds of Cristales, which I paid for, danced, she grinded on me, they walked me home and I fell asleep.

Woke up to some bullshit on my phone from work, as well as my family here at home who needed me on Saturday, so I changed my flight back from Monday to Friday and that was the end of my trip.

I will say I had a great time, especially with Claudia who was a true gem. I ended up giving her $100 just because she was so nice, and we did so much crazy shit for 2+ hours and she was actually genuinely nice, so I didn't mind at all.

This trip was MADDENING however because my phone's e-SIM worked way worse in Miramar than in Havana Vieja, about 70% of the time I had zero internet, or very intermittent, so I couldn't even bring up Google Maps to search for a place to eat, or anything. Taxis were SUPER difficult to find, especially on Thursday evening for my teacher friend (ex-friend now due to her constant begging for money) and that was frustrating. Worse, while I was able to get my phone to work to change my flight at 7 AM on Friday morning for later that afternoon, it then stopped working till 12 Noon, so I had to go to Copacobana to use their internet and decided to get breakfast there for 1,500 pesos. Complete average crap. The sweet breads were good (palmier things with honey / cinnamon).

But, coffee. No cream, no milk. Sugar, yes. Napkins, no. In the bathroom, zero toilet paper and they didn't have any. I am thinking, What in the ACTUAL FUCK is going on here? But that was the frustration.

Finally get to Havana airport, and it's even worse than 3 weeks ago. The A / see is still not working and worse, the fans weren't blowing. It was nearly 2 hours in sauna like conditions.

Final verdict: Havana, at best, is about a 5/10 for me. Girls are hot, and if you find genuine ones, they are truly gems. The prices are all over the board, the constant need to figure out what exchange rate any particular place offers is maddening, the lack of consistent internet, or power, or toilet fucking paper is also maddening. I really wanted to love this place because I can fly out of my home airport at 9 AM and with no delays be in HAV by 2 PM. Short travel day, leaves lots of time for putas.

But I guess I'm a spoiled American now, but it is what it is. For now, I've compared Cuba to my previous favorites Bogota and Medellin and Aruba and all 3 of those are better. Truthfully Santo Domingo / Boca Chica is better because hotels are nice, food is consistently good, prices are reasonable and the girls fuck your brains out for $40-60 or $100 in the clubs and you never hear from them again vs. The constant nagging via WhatsApp from the Cubanas for phone recharges and sending money, it's ridiculous how consistently they ask for money. They at least have a different list of excuses vs the standard 2 that other girls use (my kid is sick, my grandma is in the hospital).

Anyway, I'm good with Havana, probably won't be back. I have $150 in pesos that hopefully my buddy who's going there in 2 weeks will buy from me, otherwise I have a stack of 200 peso notes as my final souvenir.

Heading to Havana and going to be starting the Miramar area. Bringing some supplies for the people there. Clothing, soap, toilet paper, etc. I've been trying to network on Facebook but these chics think I'm sending them money for pictures and videos. The first thing they ask of you zelle or cashapp. I just block them. Most are probably scammers to begin with. $30 for videos and pictures. LOL shit is free on the internet. I spent a lot time with paisas and now I'm looking for Morenas. Brown skin, slim chics. All I see is more European, light skin, thick chics all over Facebook. Not what I'm looking for. Are there certain areas there different chics chill at? And what are the rates. I'm reading that chics are asking for $100. That shit is crazy and dudes are clowns if they are paying that. I never did street meat in dr or Colombia but I think this is the way in Cuba from what I'm reading, at least initially. So if that's the case, what streets should I focus on. I don't need to know about the streets where the trannys hang out. Seems like everyplace has a location for them. Smh I'll probably exchange about $500 to pesos and keep $500 in cash just to alternate. I'm not looking overnight chics just a few hours. What should I negotiate for that time frame? Thanks.Dude don't exchange 500 dollars to pesos. That's so much money here. I changed 150 to about 50000 pesos. I'm paying the girls in dollars. And 50000 pesos is kind of hard to spend. I'm at a nice restaurant now (sadly solo. Girl bailed) and drinks are like 4 dollars.

[AmericanPi]

The few from seeking wanted 140 and 180 I was like no fucking way. I did have a few on Badoo ask for 100. But either we negotiated to the 40 usd range or I passed.I'm going to judge here for a sec.

I willingly offer the girls 100 and then give more if they're good.

Honestly why spend hundreds or maybe 1000 or more dollars on flights, lodging, food and then not get the girl you want over 50 or 60 bucks. It's penny wise and pound foolish. Once you're here I think just open the wallet and spend. It will all add up to probably less than the cost of your flight.

I hope to get reports of your trip. I was there in March but my situation only allows me one boys' trip per year, so now I'm stuck living vicariously though reports of the lucky guys who get to be there now until I can go back next March or April.

As for the money part, I fully agree with you. Value is in the eye of the beholder. If you want to spend $100 to not have to negotiate, then that's your choice. I was offered and happy to pay $50 a couple of times while I was there, but I'm sure there are guys here that would call me a simp for not negotiating it down to $30. Your $$ your choice.

If you're going for a week, definitely do not change $500. It's very inconvenient to have to try to spend everything in pesos, and when you want to pay a girl 15,000 pesos in 500's, it's such an annoyance. When I was there, I changed $300. Each time I left the apartment, I walked out with 20,000 cup and about $60 USD. I never ran out of funds.

As for apps, I used Badoo. I would recommend going on that no more than a week before your trip to avoid being harassed nonstop but also to avoid having the girl forget who you are ince you're out there. Ask for the girl's WhatsApp and then you can move the conversation to there. That should give you a list of girls to contact once you're there. Also, if you see a girl during the day that you want to talk to but don't want to spend to much time with her right then, just get her WhatsApp and message her later. When I was there, I had 2 girls from Badoo and 2 girls who's number I got while walking around during the day.

As for time frame, don't think of it that way. Get a girl back to your place, offer her a drink, play some music, chat her up. That's what I love most about being there, the whole "date" atmosphere. I never paid "by the hour". The girl comes over, we hang out and have a good time, then we get filthy nasty. I never paid for time, just the deed.

[Nomars777]

A week ahead of time, get your Badoo contacts lined up via WhatsApp.

Wander San Rafael street, heading west from Parque Central (entrance is Hotel Inglaterra / Teatro National corner), goes for a few blocks, go to the end, walk back, easily will see a few that you can evaluate closer and make a determination.

Parque Central. Didn't see much there when I was in Havana, but did run across a MILF who seemed appealing. She definitely wanted to, but I didn't go with it.

Prado. My personal favorite walk. Start at the top, near to the other corner of Inglaterra (it's a different hotel, forget the name, but same block / building), walk down Prado, literally downhill toward the malecon. Avoid getting hit by the rollerbladers, skateboarders. Lots and lots and lots of choices.

Trannys. Didn't see a single one in either of my 2 visits. I'm sure they exist, but I didn't see any, so truly not a worry.

Enjoy!

Short trip, long report, so here goes:

Yep, only 2 full days, a crazy nightmare of a trip.

My preferred taxista picked me up at the airport. He's got a nice 2015 Peugeot with awesome air conditioning, super clean, well maintained, nice ride. Creature comforts, I need them. Probably why Havana frustrates me so much.

Got to Miramar area apartment. Got settled, walked down to Hotel Copacabana and grabbed a late lunch. Prices in CUP were reasonable, but I didn't realize that because this is a state owned hotel, the conversion rate there is 120 pesos to 1 USD. So I paid 3 x more than I should have for my lobster and 3 pina coladas and 1 mojito. Still at $30 USD, I didn't cry too much.

Lesson learned, always have at least 10-20 k in pesos on you, so if you stumble into a place with a bad exchange rate, you just pay in pesos.

WhatsApped my little teacher friend who showed up in record time to meet me (less than 20 minutes from Capitolio area, so she was primed to come fuck), we walked around and found a place that exchanged $ to pesos at 350:1 and all 1 k notes! YESSS!

Went back to my place, fucked like mad people for about 2 hours. Awesome. I showed her my end of June STD test results prior to going and she showed me hers, recently dated, and we fucked raw, which was amazing. Didn't cum inside her, but it was ok. Sent her home at the Primera and Setenta area, which is not what I thought it was, basically it's not an inside centro commercial, but rather a bunch of 2 story separate buildings, most with upstairs seating areas that overlook the ocean. At sunset, it was incredible. Had some ok shrimp tacos and mojitos at Mercy Bar and Grill. Not great, but the sunset view was spectacular. Got great photos.

As I was about to leave Mercy Bar, I look down and see a darker, thin, long wavy haired woman, about 30, who waved to me. I was drunk and horny, so I went down to see what was what. Bought her a mojito, then 2, we walked back to my place. Fucked her every which way, then the ass request came, "pontelo en mi culo, por favor". Ok, sure. Fucked her ass, it was great. Then she said she wanted $100, I laughed. Worked my way down to $40 USD plus $2 k pesos for a tax, so about $45. For over an hour, it was fine. As we were walking back to the Primera & Setenta area, she pulls me over under some trees, pulls down her panties and says, "fuck me more". Yeah, ok. Fucked her again for about 5-10 minutes, then we walked to Copacobana to see if they were open and stil serving drinks. Open, yes, drinks, no. She leaves, I go home, but then decided I wanted more drinks.

Walked back and had 2 more mojitos at a place directly west of Mercy Bar called Salsa Mora. Cheap drinks, well made, very nice. A table of 3 cuties near me waved me over and so I went and chatted with them. Could've had all 3 for $100 total, but I was completely fucked out at that point and declined.

Nomars777 out!No way these chics are worse than the begging chics in dr. I stopped going to Dr because of that. 9 out of 10 there are going to all you to western union money with all types of excuses. In Colombia its about 1 or of 10 that will ask. Dr is the worse!

[AmericanPi]

How much are you paying the girls?? And why not in pesos?Around these parts this is kind of controversial. I'm about to get flamed.

I offer 100 dollars a night. 200 if they are special goodness.

Guys here will say I'm ruining it because I can get away paying 40 or something.

They are right and wrong. I can pay less. I choose to give generously because these ladies will use tomorrow to buy food and medicine and life supplies. I even offer give far more and I have no regrets.

[Chris H]

How much are you paying the girls?? And why not in pesos?He mentioned he is paying $100 usd. I NEVER pay in usd, always pesos, because hey, that's their currency. It's like people coming to the US, from Mexico, and paying in Mexican Pesos. No way would we except that. All women will take pesos, they have no choice.

Now you're committed to someone that can just turn around and just lie there because she knows she is going to get that money regardless of her performance. Then there's the issue of them feeling entitled with everyone they meet going forward. You can justify that the money is going towards food, medicine, etc. But you have no idea. It could be towards drugs or to her boyfriend. It's your money so you spend it the way you want but it's foolish. One day you should just befriend chics and ask them what they think of us gringos when we pay more for things. They will tell you that it's stupid.

No way would we except that. All women will take pesos, they have no choice.I agree. You don't pay in dollars in Colombia or Dominican Republic. Why would you pay in dollars here. People are just lazy. They can't negotiate Probably because they don't speak any Spanish and doing the conversion is too much for them. I read someone saying they don't take their own pesos. Dumbest shit I've read. I hit a he chics up on badoo and told them I pay in pesos and they didn't have a problem.

[Sangnyc21]

Around these parts this is kind of controversial. I'm about to get flamed.

I offer 100 dollars a night. 200 if they are special goodness.

Guys here will say I'm ruining it because I can get away paying 40 or something.

They are right and wrong. I can pay less. I choose to give generously because these ladies will use tomorrow to buy food and medicine and life supplies. I even offer give far more and I have no regrets.I agree. When I was there I actually felt bad for these girls. If you give them 100 $ it will literally change their life for a couple weeks. The situation is very dire out there and they have some beautiful women.

They prefer dollars because pesos deflate so quickly in value. Dollars are considered a safe storage of value. They prefer it.

[AmericanPi]

Sorry but yes you are a simp. You offer that much money and you don't even know if they are good in bed. Now you're committed to someone that can just turn around and just lie there because she knows she is going to get that money regardless of her performance. Then there's the issue of them feeling entitled with everyone they meet going forward. You can justify that the money is going towards food, medicine, etc. But you have no idea. It could be towards drugs or to her boyfriend. It's your money so you spend it the way you want but it's foolish. One day you should just befriend chics and ask them what they think of us gringos when we pay more for things. They will tell you that it's stupid.I 100% know we are seen as temporary refuge and access to money. Did I indicate I believed that I would parachute into a foreign country, stay for a time barely measured in minutes, and that I'the experience anything authentic?

Of course this is a transaction. It's just a matter of how passable the veneer of it being anything otherwise is. I have no illusion that it's anything else. I still believe that giving generously is the way to go. A few hundred dollars to us is nothing. To them it's over a months salary. It's an easy way to do something good while you're doing something bad.

Last time I was in Havana, I dropped $100 on a model chick (I've seen her IG, legit model) and it was the best $100 I've ever spent. The kind of experience that costs $2 K in Vegas or Miami. And I assure everyone here that there is no way you you're going to pull 8's and 9's in Havana with $30-$40. Maybe stinky street walkers, but not the higher tier amateurs.

You get what you pay for in this world. Life is too short to fly coach or screw 5's.

That's why most of these dudes won't even try to fit in, and pay in the currency of the country they are in.. True Gringos. Even when I go to many different countrys with my boys, they always talking dollars, and I try to teach them, only pay in that country's currency. That's the best way to get the best rate, very simple.

Just because you're m your silly ass spend that, doesn't mean you have money or any brains for that matter. I can tell you dumb ass hell. Just because a chic looks good doesn't mean she can fuck you fool. I've fucked the baddest choice in dr and Colombia and none of them got more than $60. Your silly ass think spending more equates to good sex. God, you're a simple fool.

[MisterJam]

You'the think so but it's not true.
Like you said. They prefer it. Doesn't mean they won't take pesos. If you told them you only had pesos left you think they are going to turn pesos down? Sigh.

I arrived on Saturday and stayed in Miramar. I realized right away I needed to get closer to old Havana because of the rate of the taxis. I lined one chic up from badoo and took her out to eat then back to my place. We fucked gave her some gifts and $40. She was so concerned about scars on her body that she basically wanted to fuck with the covers on and hide her body. Sex was horrible and this is why to you clowns that agree to pay a lot of money upfront you don't. If the sex is good, you can always give them more but once you commit to a high amount you are now at their mercy when it comes to performance. She was one and done. By Monday I decided, I really didn't care for Cuba so was booking a flight to Colombia. My cousin said he would come on Wednesday so I said I'll stay the rest of trip. He arrives and I line up 2 chics from badoo. We agreed on 5 hours and for $60. They arrive an hour late, also I switched to an Airbnb in old Havana to be closer by this time. She said she lived in old Havana, walking distance but arrived an hour late. They come upstairs, we talk a little and we both go to our separate rooms. She's OK in bed, better than the first. After 2 hours she decides she wants to leave instead of honoring her agreement. I say I cause between her being an hour late and leaving early, I know she's a one and done. She then says can we take them to dinner and I tell her no because she said she wanted to leave early so that means she's leaving and not wasting any more time and money on her. She then asks for taxi money which I told her no because she lives close to here. The next day I get text from her about her mother's birthday coming up and did I have a credit card that I could charge stuff for her. At that I point, I blocked her. One thing I noticed immediately about the women I met there, they are worse than Dominican women who want more and more and are unappreciative. At that point I was ready to leave Cuba. I didn't bother with any more women there. People are friendly but the jinaterios are annoying. It's hot and miserable. It's a place where I just scratched off my bucket list. Not sure why guys really go there when there are so many other places to go where you don't have to worry about being in a place that's not modern. Old Havana is a dump. They charge you more than they charge the locals if they can. And I'm talking about in the stores as well. I'll go back to the Dr before returning to Cuba. Pretty girls but not worth it when there are so many other places to go. Colombia is still number one when it comes to having everything you need. I pay $40 an fuck twice and may pay taxi which is about $7 the most. In a casa, the rates are every lower. I'm glad I experienced Cuba but it is not a place for me. I would have felt like a clown if I offered these girls $100. A nut is a nut and paying more doesn't guarantee anything except. You paying more. And those of you who think you are helping them by giving them more money then why don't you just give them money without having sex with them if you feel like you want to save the world. That's more honorable than fucking them and justifying it by acting like you are doing something by giving more money. I couldn't believe how many chics there snow cigarettes. That's a turn off to me and and you would think they didn't have money for cigarettes. Smh. That's it for me. One and done. 1 to 10, Cuba gets a 4.

[AmericanPi]

I sort of agree and sort of don't.

Havana is an interesting place. I've had some of the best experiences of my life. And some of the worst. It's a pretty bipolar place. Sometimes you get a girl who just arrived from the countryside fresh and doe eyed and you spend the weekend banging her brains out and welcoming her to the world. And sometimes you get an endless string of borderline con artists. And it's hard to figure out what you're going to get. It's not as predictable as a place like Brazil or Colombia for sure. But it has the benefit of being closer.

I have been to all the other spots you mentioned, but I got to admit, Cuba is still #1 in my book. It's the overall experience and how safe it is to me, compared to the other known Gringo destinations. It also maybe be that I have been to Cuba over 20 times, and it feels like coming back to my old stomping ground each time.

[AmericanPi]

Great report, with a lot of truths. Especially about the part of these dudes over paying, trying to be heros..You didn't address this to me and I have no dog in this fight. But I have in the past on this board said I give generously so I do want to respond here.

To be clear I never saw myself as a hero. My mentality has always been that I spend thousands of dollars to travel and when I arrive and interact with local girls I intend to be the clear undisputed priority while I'm there. I don't give what I can get away with. If a girl will be happy with 50 bucks, and it means literally nothing to me to give her 150, and I know she'll put that money to much better use than me (I will spend 150 dollars on a round of drinks or another pair of sneakers for my collection without thinking. She will buy groceries for herself and her extended family) I don't even think twice. It's easy to give that money and I do it with no regrets.

Including women you are causing the price to go up for everyone else. Cubans are amazing at sob stories. There all starving, etc etc. Take a look around. Did you see chubby or fat ones? I did quite often.

[Showdown]

Team I am wondering if you can help me with a few things:

1. This is going to be a 48 hours trip so my goal is to screw as many girls as possible. I prefer street girls though I may pick a Badoo or two. Where are the streets I can find these girls? Given I have 48 hours I do not want to waste any time. My goal is to grab a girl, recuperate afterwards and get another.

2. I would imagine I need to stay in Old Havana. Any airBNB is the middle of the action you can recommend?

3. Any contact to get to and from the airport? I always like recommendations for drivers.

Thanks.

Then give her the 100 or 200 at the end and just say the rest is a bonus or whatever because you had a great time and she did a good job. She will be happy and you will accomplish the same goal of making their lives a little easier. Nothing wrong with being generous, just be smart about it without rocking the boat for everyone.

[KapnAmerica]

You'the think so but it's not true.

They prefer dollars because pesos deflate so quickly in value. Dollars are considered a safe storage of value. They prefer it.I'm confused. The Cuban peso is pegged to the US dollar. It has not fluctuated for over 3 years.

Is it not possible to exchange Cuban pesos for dollars at the official fixed rate of 24 pesos per dollar?

[Zeos1]

I'm confused. The Cuban peso is pegged to the US dollar. It has not fluctuated for over 3 years.

Is it not possible to exchange Cuban pesos for dollars at the official fixed rate of 24 pesos per dollar?I'm sure you can. But why would you? The real value on the street is somewhere around 5-10 times that.

I'm not new to Havana. Been a few times. I have historically changed money with my Airbnb host. I tell them in advance I want a lot, and I want 1000 peso bills. It's worked out.

How do I put this delicately? I'm going soon, and I'll be seeing a number of girls. If I ask my host to change that much money, I think it'll be obvious why. Like why would a person need that much money for a few days in Cuba.

So this time I want to find reliable money, changers who carry big bills.

I've never had to look for one myself. How do you do that?So once you have changed money and have your bricks of CUP notes, what can you do with them? Can you use them to pay for your Casa and so save as compared with paying the dollar price? How about things like dance lessons and nice food (where prices are set in USD or Euro) do they simply convert to CUP using the street rate, so you end up paying the same but have been to more trouble?

Are there any situation where you need to pay with a credit card (that is, can use neither USD nor CUP cash)?

And any hints on reducing the risk of exchanging money on the street?

And any hints on reducing the risk of exchanging money on the street?Your best bet is like the poster suggested, have your host exchange the currency to CUP, make sure you let him / her know in advance you want large bills only, ie, 500 or 1000 notes. Otherwise you'll end up with bricks, I know it happened to me a couple of trips back. Live and learn, right?

They usually take a 5 CUP cut from the street rate. No big deal for you. Just make sure you know the going street rate.

CC use is available if your CC is not from the USA. Sometimes the issue is connectivity but certainly works at lots of tourist places. Again, you need to know what the exchange rate is before pulling the trigger.

You can usually pay with CUP most anywhere except certain MLC places which it's too complicated for me to explain. The issue paying with USD / Euro at most places is that you'll usually get shorted from the street rate. So, in case you have to pay with either currency or cc make sure you ask what exchange rate they'll give before doing any transaction and you're good with it. For me if it's 5 or 10 CUP difference I won't sweat it.

You are welcome.

Mondo.

[Questner]

Why would anyone use a credit card to pay in CUP and get the official exchange rate? Get your brick of CUP so you can use it as wallpaper or lit it up during a blackout. Here same as in Argentina now, onshore use cash, any cash and don't get stuck with CUP on a way home.

And any hints on reducing the risk of exchanging money on the street?My last trip I had a very annoying typical Havana experience. I told my Airbnb host clearly I wanted to change 500 dollars to pesos on arrival. And they clearly agreed. And when I showed up they said sorry we only have 300 today. We could not have had a more clear agreement and they waited until I arrived to tell me I had to find a way to get 200 dollars changed elsewhere.

Anyways it didn't matter. It turned out girls preferred dollars to pesos this time. Probably because The value of the peso Is sinking so precipitously.

Here same as in Argentina now, onshore use cash, any cash and don't get stuck with CUP on a way home.Many places (like a casa and even a dance school) quote prices in USD or EUR. Obviously you can pay in foreign cash or maybe use a CC for extra convenience. If you ask to pay in CUP then they know the street exchange rate and so you don't gain anything but have been to some inconvenience by changing to get CUP. Obviously if you have changed at the bank and then use CUP to pay in this situation you are losing out big time.

I just got back from a two week+ trip in Habana. August is not the time I would recommend if you have a choice, but the intermittent storms cool things off a bit with the rain and wind. Mornings and late afternoon / early evening when the sun is low are the best times to walk about.

I'll get right to what everyone cares about: While I am not a streetwalker kind of guy, I do like my exercise, and it is fun to banter with the jineteras a little. Suffice to to say, if you look foreign (I. E. , non cuban) and do not have girls walking up to you on Prado and San Raphael, you're invisible. Some are really cute, but the streetwalkers are usually black chicks (85%) with some mullatas and the occasional white girl. There is definitely street action going on, and the later in the day, the better (I'd say the street action was the most robust I'd seen it). Yes the Jinateros can be annoying AF, just don't engage, look straight ahead and keep walking. Never respond to, "Amigo" or "Where are you from? Or anything else, girls excepted of course.

And yes, Cuba is a third world dump. But I view it like I would camping. I'm not a foodie so I don't give a shit. If you want to eat well, go on a cruise.

As for me, I did my usual online thing, and I have recruited some new stars (two of my starters have left the country, great for them, bad for my team, but I'm happy for them) . I had a great time and so did they (I have some tricks). Yes some girls offer better performance than others, but in my experience (five trips in 13 months), the experience is best if *both* parties are having fun. This may sound obvious, but I assure you there are ways to make even the most hardened pro hot for you. Leave her quivering and wide-eyed (there are ways to do this), and she'll be into you and the experience can be awe-inspiring. But if you're lowballing some girl, she's already going to be unhappy and you're starting in a hole, no pun intended.

Anyway, for you low ballers, there will always be girls for you in Habana. But a star who you'd happily take photos with at the Winter Formal and all your friends would be "holy shit! That's not going to be $40. It seems this board is largely populated by the cheapos, so I'll probably stop contributing except for trip reports. But don't worry about me inflating prices, as we are definitely not meeting the same girls.

Are there any situation where you need to pay with a credit card (that is, can use neither USD nor CUP cash)?Pesos are great for the little stores all over Havana (eg, Prado, San Raphael, and Obispo) that sell canned juices and sodas (some made in US), and snacks like potato chips and candy. Always good to have snacks in the casa for the ladies. I was surprised to find Lays, Snickers, Milky Way, and Twix, among others. Almost all stores want pesos, except for the government-run stores who want MLC. Cigar stores typically do denominate in USD. In the past year I have seen more and more US products on shelves. I spent far more pesos than ever this trip, and will ask for $3-400 worth from my hosts on my next trip.

As for US credit cards, there were two times it came in handy: 1) Buying my Cuban visa from the "Cuba desk" at Houston Airport (IAH). They would not take cash, but YMMV. And 2) at an Etecsa store in Habana, the clerk used my credit card to buy a mobile plan online. Sounds sketchy, I know, but it worked and I had no fraud on my card.


I think what your not realizing is when you overpay for any goods or services. Including women you are causing the price to go up for everyone else. Cubans are amazing at sob stories. There all starving, etc etc. Take a look around. Did you see chubby or fat ones? I did quite often.This is hilarious reasoning. You call us simps and heroes who overpay, and yet we're supposed to give a shit about you, over some cubana down on her luck that gives us a good time? LOL! The girls I end up with I wouldn't want to share with you mongers anyway, jajaja. I assure you we are not shopping for the same things.

It's so funny how the cheapos shit all over Cuba, but don't see a correlation between their attitudes and their experiences in Cuba. I hit 8's and 9's all week and twice on Sundays, and none of those girls would be DTF for $40 LOL.

Vayas con dios, muchachos!

[El Griego]

Another thing:

I pay everywhere I can in pesos, but a few times I didn't have enough on me and the restaurant wouldn't take credit cards.

Ever since I stash a couple of €50 notes in my wallet, if need arises.


Your best bet is like the poster suggested, have your host exchange the currency to CUP, make sure you let him / her know in advance you want large bills only, ie, 500 or 1000 notes. Otherwise you'll end up with bricks, I know it happened to me a couple of trips back. Live and learn, right?

They usually take a 5 CUP cut from the street rate. No big deal for you. Just make sure you know the going street rate.

CC use is available if your CC is not from the USA. Sometimes the issue is connectivity but certainly works at lots of tourist places. Again, you need to know what the exchange rate is before pulling the trigger.

You can usually pay with CUP most anywhere except certain MLC places which it's too complicated for me to explain. The issue paying with USD / Euro at most places is that you'll usually get shorted from the street rate. So, in case you have to pay with either currency or cc make sure you ask what exchange rate they'll give before doing any transaction and you're good with it. For me if it's 5 or 10 CUP difference I won't sweat it.

You are welcome.

I just got back from a two week+ trip in Habana. August is not the time I would recommend if you have a choice, but the intermittent storms cool things off a bit with the rain and wind. Mornings and late afternoon / early evening when the sun is low are the best times to walk about.
Wrangler, I enjoy reading your Cuba trip reports. I will be going on my first trip to Cuba end of this month. It'll be a four day trip. I will source all my chicas from Badoo as I am not into I've a few questions that I didn't find answers to in the forum.

1. Where should I buy travel health insurance for Cuba? I've read that it is mandatory. Someone on the forum said that it was included in the price of their ticket. I bought my ticket with points, and don't see travel insurance listed anywhere on the invoice.

2. I know I can get my Cuba visa at the airport. Can I fill out any forms in advance to make the process quicker? Do I need a passport size photo for the visa?

3. How do you spend your down time during the day when you are not with a girl? I would like to visit Fabrica de Arte in the evening, but would like things to do during the day. That's one thing I have struggled at in Medellin. How to fill the gaps during the day.

4. Are there any rooftop bars or restaurants that you would recommend, one with a great view of the water and sunset. I am staying in Old Havana.

1. Where should I buy travel health insurance for Cuba? I've read that it is mandatory. Someone on the forum said that it was included in the price of their ticket. I bought my ticket with points, and don't see travel insurance listed anywhere on the invoice.Yeah it's included in your airfare. Contact your airline. But I always get travel health insurance from Geoblue so I can be evac'd should I get hit by a taxi or ecoli. For a trip as short as yours it's probably $20. They will pay up to a million to get you out of Cuba and into a US hospital. A no-brainer for me.


2. I know I can get my Cuba visa at the airport. Can I fill out any forms in advance to make the process quicker? Do I need a passport size photo for the visa?No, it's not a real visa, just a tax by the Cuban government to come in and leave. It's like a little check that you fill out with a pen after you buy it (don't forget in Cuba they put the days before the months haha). Again, depending on the airport, they might not take cash, so be prepared with a US credit card.

Of course you know about the declaration form you submit within 48 hours of your travel?


3. How do you spend your down time during the day when you are not with a girl? I would like to visit Fabrica de Arte in the evening, but would like things to do during the day. That's one thing I have struggled at in Medellin. How to fill the gaps during the day.Great question, as it's always my biggest issue. But in late August I'd say, stay inside and enjoy your AC haha. Actually, the Playas del Este are nice and fairly close. Mornings are best for exploring the stores, as it is cooler (I. E. 80 F haha). And of course since you're young and virile, maybe have a nooner and an evening rendezvous the same day. Only 4 days man, you have to be efficient haha.


4. Are there any rooftop bars or restaurants that you would recommend, one with a great view of the water and sunset. I am staying in Old Havana.The Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski has the nicest rooftop bar IMO. It's adjacent to the Hotel Parque Central (which is great for buying and smoking cigars, and buying a safe breakfast, and maybe hearing some live music on a Sunday morning). From Manzana Kempinski roof, you can see (and even hear music coming from) all the other downtown hotels at night. The Grand Packard has a nice outdoor bar, but it's not rooftop. It's carved into the front of the hotel around halfway up. It overlooks El Morro and the Havana Harbor mouth.

Have a great trip and give us a report.

[Nomars777]

1. Health insurance is included in your ticket. All US airlines include it as part of the fare. Even if you paid for your ticket with points, it will still be included. At least it was for me on American Airlines.

2. The "visa" / tourist card is a simple pink piece of paper, 2 on one sheet. No photos necessary. You don't even really need to fill it out ahead of time, no one has looked at it, much less asked for it on either trip. That said, I don't think you would get away with not having it. Buy it at the airport, they will setup a little rolling desk right in front of your departure gate about 30-60 minutes ahead of boarding. Super easy.

3. Go to the museums. There are several in Havana Vieja, including one down in the renovated section of old town, where they have rehabilitated a lot of old buildings. There's a museum right along the water, interesting historical artefacts from various shipwrecks, replicas of Spanish era galleons, etc. Super cheap too, something like $2 US to get in, if that. There are several places around like that.

Another option, if you like to get a ride around vs. Walking, is to grab one of the bici-taxis and have them give you a ride through town. They have a lot of information on various parts of the city, almost like a tour guide. I have a contact who I found particularly nice. He asks for a lot, but man, the bici-taxista work is DAMN hard, so I don't really mind paying him a fair rate.

My favorite option, since I like mojitos, is to walk through town, see what spots look good, stop in, sit down, drink a mojito. Enjoy the break from the sun, hopefully there's a breeze, then repeat another 2-3 times and you've spent a good few hours. Even better if the places have nice music. Live music is even better, which I encountered on occasion.

4. Rooftop places. I wish I could help there. I know there are some, but I just never did run across any of these either. If you are NOT American, you can go to either the Hotel Gran Packard (rooftop bar and pool area that's supposed to be very nice) or the other hotel caddy-corner from the Packard, right on the malecon, also with a rooftop bar area. They ONLY take credit cards, so if you're American, generally you're shit out of luck. But if you're not American, then check those places, prices seemed reasonable when I enquired.

Let us know how it goes and ENJOY!!

Like I said, health insurance is included in the cost of your tix to Cuba. I'm taking for granted you're a gringo, right? Like I said before, find the copy from your CC and make a screenshot for your phone. If you read thru all the charges, one if for such insurance.

This link has all the info you need for your 2nd question. Español & English.

https://www.dviajeros.mitrans.gob.cu/assets/pdf/ManualDViajeros.pdf

I'm a late riser, nonetheless, in case you're a Cuban music aficionado (timba / salsa), Casa de la Musica Miramar has matinees from 4 to 9 pm daily. Difference from the late session is less hard core ones and more civies to hook up with.

For rooftop bar in Habana vieja, most hotels have one. I go to the Inglaterra hotel and usually have dinner and enjoy the view.

Now, Humpty, hope this helps you out, just one thing, would you post your adventures when you get back?

You are welcome.

[HumptyHump]

Thanks for all the tips and advise guys. It is much appreciated. I confirmed on the American airways website that health insurance is included in the ticket, even when the ticket is bought with points. I didn't know that I needed to fill out a health form for Cuba 2 days before travel. Will look into it.

I got a place in Havana Vieja. Made an account on Badoo and made contact with a number of chicas. Some of them are down to meet. No one has mentioned anything about money yet. One girl already said she wants to stay the night, since she will be coming from out of town. I wanted to ask, is there any risk of the girls drugging and robbing you? I know its a big concern in Medellin, so wanted to assess the risk in Cuba.

Is there anywhere I can buy generic Cialis? Has anyone tried it in Cuba? I have never needed it before, but I like to be with at least two girls each day on my travels, and I was having some trouble doing it the second time after a few days of non stop fucking.

I will be sure to write a trip report, as I have done with my Medellin trips.

I will be sure to write a trip report, as I have done with my Medellin trips.No risk of being drugged. The girls are desperate there, so petty theft if possible in your room. Lock everything when she is there. I have had shampoo, wipes, toothpaste taken. Not a big deal, but it's difficult to find quality replacement products after. Bring your own Cialis / Viagra. There are jineteros on street corners offering Viagra and everything else possible but I wouldn't trust it. Also, bring whatever meds you need and may need for yourself, such as an antibiotic just in case. There is nothing in the pharmacies and the black market is hit and miss. Lots to see around, especially if you like history. I did a one day private tour with taxi of the Bay of Pigs, about 3. 5 hours away, so a full day. Vinales is closer and a nice day trip. Trinidad is beautiful but need to sleep over one night at least. Beach at Playas del Este / Guanabo is actually quite nice. Cuba is Cuba, no other way to describe it.

[HumptyHump]

Thanks for the tip about antibiotics. Will need to check if anyone has a full dose lying around. Will check with my doctor if they will prescribe a dose in advance.

I keep hearing about Vinales. If I can find a chica whose company I enjoy, maybe I'll take her.

I keep hearing about Vinales. If I can find a chica whose company I enjoy, maybe I'll take her.Honestly, when I went, the only medical things I took were some bandaids, a half used tube of polysporin, a small bottle of Tylenol and a couple of travel sized hand sanitizers. At the end of my trip, I ended up giving it all to the last girl anyways (along with whatever rubbers I had left).

Personally, I think going through the trouble of getting a bottle of antibiotics is a little overkill for a week's vacation. But that's just me.

As for the girls, I agree with Hilfinger that I'd be more worried about leaving the girl alone in my room for any period of time more than her trying to slip me something and rob me. When my buddy was done banging a chick once, he went to wash up a bit and came back to her going through one of his bags. He gave her the boot super quick at that point. Funny thing is, she then had the balls to write him the next day to say she had a great time and if he'd like to see her again. No shame.

So moral of that story is to make sure your stuff is locked up before inviting any girls back to your place. If you don't have a safe in the room, at least take one of those little combo luggage locks and don't leave anything of value out if you're going to leave the girl in your room unattended. I personally have never run across that issue, but once is all it takes to wake you up to it.

Lastly, as for money, the girls won't really want to say anything before hand cause they want you in front of them with a hard-on so they can ask for whatever they want. Before they arrive make sure they give you a price or you offer something that they say yes to, just to save your own time of having to kick a girl out if she asks for more than you're willing to pay.

[HumptyHump]

So moral of that story is to make sure your stuff is locked up before inviting any girls back to your place. The place I got has two bedrooms. So I'll use one bedroom exclusively for the girls, and use the other one to keep my stuff, sleep, etc. I am talking to one girl that wants to take me to a live music event at the malecon for the "summer closing festival". Sounds fun. Super sweet girl and does not give off any pro vibes at all. Will play it by ear as far as the money talk is concerned. I don't mind kicking girls to the curb if they ask for too much.

[Nomars777]

Good idea to get the 2 bedroom place. I did the same for my second Airbnb and that was great. Kept all my stuff locked in BR2 and used BR1 for the sessions with the girls.

Love the idea of a non-pro and going to the live music festival, should be a great time.

Let us know how your trip goes when you get rolling!

[JinaWrangler]

This is my MO as well. There is my bedroom, and then there's the room where the magic happens. I keep most of my possessions in my suitcases which have robust TSA locks, in the sleep room. Yes the bedroom door has a lock, but IMO the locked suitcases are a sufficient deterrent. A couple times, girls stayed really late (like when there is a storm and taxis won't drive), and I've brought them into the sleep room to nap with me a little until the storm passes and the taxis start rolling again. Fortunately, they were very affectionate and agreeable types who are fun to hang with. But my usual MO is to call them a taxi ASAP after business is completed.

Also, try to get an AirBNB with a safe. Not bank vault secure, but you're trying to stop casual thieves, not master safe crackers.

When I leave the unit, I always take my drivers license on me and leave my passport in the safe, so both won't likely be stolen at once. I also split my cash in that manner.

And yeah find a young sweet one with little or no experience and that can have GFE vibes. Believe it or not, one beauty I was with last trip said she'd only been with one other guy (who knocked her up). She was from a more remote neighborhood and she was incredibly nervous, so I believed her. Does it matter if it's true so long as I believe it, hahaha? This is why BTW it may be worth it to import girls from more remote areas, as they are less likely to be experienced pros with the 1000 cock stare jjj.

It's my time for 'that' stupid question.

I've unexpectedly found myself with 2 weeks between jobs in a few weeks time and I want to take a trip to Havana, for the first time since 2009. I love salsa and son music and that is my primary reason for visiting (lessons) but I also of course want to monger.

My Spanish is pretty much non-existent. So much so, that it is best to assume none. I wasn't planning a trip so soon, so I've been intermittently doing the Michel Thomas course and I can say basic phrases involving tener, querer, necesitar, ir, ver, etc. But no conversational. I'm planning to link up with an online tutor in the next few weeks to focus purely on conversational and maximizing my time by focusing on the basic interaction conversations that I haven't been doing.

That being said, I'm curious. Assuming zero Spanish. How much of a wash out is this likely to be? Am I stuck with a few hardened jiniteras? If that's the case then so be it, as it isn't my main reason for visiting. But it would be good to know to not waste my time trying to find ladies I'm attracted to, only to find that the lack of Spanish is a deal-breaker.

FWIW, I don't generally go for 10's (my genetics and general sloth don't allow for that!) My sweet spot (in SEA at least) is 30-somethings, that I would rate 6's-7's, perhaps 8's. I prefer older, relatively speaking.

I'm early 40s, overweight and balding, to compound the turn-offs!

Thanks.

[EMode]

When I leave the unit, I always take my drivers license on me and leave my passport in the safe, so both won't likely be stolen at once. I also split my cash in that manner.

Whenever I left the apt, I'd take 20,000 CUP (about $65) and $30-$40 USD in small bills for tips and stuff. That way, at the absolute worst, I'm out $100 if I lose it or if it gets stolen.

As for the ID, I actually just carry a photocopy of my passport. My actual passport and DL stay locked up nice and tight.

[EMode]

I'm a Spanish speaker, so I can't speak to how difficult it is to work your magic in Havana without Spanish. But here is some advice I gave to a buddy who was going:

1st, look up "Que Hora Es by Danny Evans". My buddy went from nearly zero Spanish to enough Spanish not to starve to death with that set of 12 or 13 video lessons. It's free on YouTube.

2nd, make sure you download google translate and offline Spanish and English. You can try using that to at least be able to communicate with girls.

Lastly, get on Badoo before you go and make sure you tell whatever girls you match with that you don't speak Spanish. Hopefully they'll either speak English, or at least you'll have a couple of girls lined up that know you don't speak Spanish and are willing to go through Google translate to converse with you.

Good luck and make sure you give us a report on your trip. I'm getting withdrawal shakes from being away so long.

I think too many overthink it, especially if you plan to stay in Old Havana for most your stay. I thought no one was going to speak English, mostly from what I have read but that wasn't the case and many spoke English. I have even less Spanish and I did fine, just like what EMode suggested download Google translate so you can communicate, and not just the app or the Internet. Depending on where you stay you can experience a lot of blackouts, no lights, electricity, and no Internet! Conversational Spanish will go a long way!

The Prado has a lot of girls and it's definitely hit and miss! By far more misses than hits! The best looking ones I think can be picky. I got lucky and a cute a 24 year old approached me since I thought she was underaged, I had to ask to see her ID twice! She actually turned down another guy who approached her first. And I am a fat guy (not just carrying a little extra weight) and don't dress like I have money so you should be fine. Just don't look like a slob.

Badoo, tinder, and bumble all worked, in that order. You can start matching before, but I would not recommend starting more than a week before you leave. (I always start too early and am reminded I much prefer spontaneously matching and meeting the day of! Can't help with the confidence boost from beautiful and not so beautiful girls matching!

Just go and have fun!

I'll have to post my trip as it's already been a few months!


It's my time for 'that' stupid question.

[JinaWrangler]

Mi Espanol es mas a menos, but I don't typically tell them I can't speak it well until they show up (why talk them out of it?) and I ask them to hablas mas despacio and to use the translator for the more complex language. I have never ever had some muchacha leave over my meager spanish (they sometimes will laugh). It's not a date where she wants to get to know you. Well some do, but that's on the rarer side and not a deal breaker for a gringo with dinero.

As EMode said, Badoo is your friend, especially if you aren't looking for 10's as you said haha. Just translate PM's with them and get them onto Whatsapp ASAP, because eventually their data plans go poof and so do they. I was in Cuba 20 years ago before the ubiquity of smartphones, and then Spanish was a problem and my translator was a human (a Cuban relative of the guy I went with). But in the era of smartphones, you'll be fine. I am astonished how well my iPhone picks up Cubanas' machine gun, skip-syllables Espanol.

BTW, since you like dancing, several times on weekends I've seen some dancing lessons on the Prado. Maybe invite a Badoo chica along for a partner.

Don't talk yourself out of it. Just go, have fun, and post a report. I'm envious, as I just can't get away from work until January.

Can you bring your vape into Cuba? I google "vape Cuba" the info was all over the place. Some people reported that they got confiscated at the airport and have to pay a fine. Other say that it is OK. There is article on Medium saying that it was OK. This is a deal breaker for me.

As far as food goes, I was there about 5 months ago and brought mix nuts 2 1/4 pounds (Costco), also, dry figs (part of my diet) espresso coffee, since I make my own cafe con leche (cappuccino) in the morning.

Heads up, for those of you traveling to Cuba and wanting to make a lasting impression, bring espresso brick packs (that's what I take) and gift 'them to your fave gal or someone you like there. For Cuban@s coffee is a ritual (like afternoon tea in Britain). I usually bring 6 packs (10 ounce each) In the states, go to the coffee aisle in the market and you'll find them under the La Llave, Bustelo and many other name brands. Also, you can find them in all Hispanic markets. Just a caveat, if / when you buy brick packs make sure they are, pardon the pun, brick solid, if they are soft they'll no longer will be fresh when you use them.

Hey man, just a heads up.

Just read your post below and thought I let you know that I travel every January for the Havana Jazz fest. It takes place at the end of January yearly for the whole week.

Some of the best music and musicians from all over the world and Cuba.

Don't know if you are into music, mostly Jazz and home grown cuban@s music.

In case you want to meet let me know and we can exchange notes, no pun intended, jjj.

Found info on the Jazz fest, link below.

Mondo.Hey Mondo,

I've been going to jazz plaza for years, since 2010.

I plan to go in 2025 again.

I'm not much of a monger these days, I stay with my regular Cubana, but I've been to known to stray every once in a while.

If you're going to the jazz fest, let's meet for a cristal or two.

[Bindestrich]

I was a read only user but want to give some of my experiences to the questions below:

I have electric cigarettes and brought 10 packs of sticks with me. I use them everywhere. No issue at all.

After landing they check temperature before entering the airport building.

Directly after entering the building and passport control there is a scan for carry on luggage and metal detector. Bypassed it just walking directly to the luggage belt. So no issue (at least for me).

2 hours waiting for luggage was terrible in the middle of noisy and nervous Cubans. Got my suitcase and they just checked the luggage tag when leaving the area but nothing more. Had some wine, milk for coffee, plenty of chocolate, medicine and others which might give some trouble. But luckily not for me this time.

Casa in Vieje is great. Additional security gate only for me ensures that girls won't leave my house with some of my valuable stuff while I am in shower. As long as taking the key always with me. Perfect! No issue at all with bringing guests here. Nobody cares. Really. They have seen it all many many times.

For chicas: I didn't take any from the streets. Thanks to the your former reports I've downloaded Badoo with premium and its like candy shop. All sizes, colors and ages with additional attributes like having kids, smoking or not, and so on.

Girls are more than happy for chocolate, underwear (costs me 8-10 bucks each) or vitamins. Have a 20 yo girl with unbelievable body. Zero body fat and very attentive behavior in and out of the bed. A professional athlete from what I've understood. Sex is really like a porn movie. In between some others during day time after sightseeing (need some pics to show at home). Usually I stick the money for taxi (mostly 3 k CUP each trip makes 6 k CUP or 20 Euro) and another 50 Euro into their handbag. They smile. Never had any complaints from them. My sport chica told me that she is enjoying my hot shower here. In her house she uses cold water from water bucket for cleaning herself.

Some of you stated issues with police and girls. I had none of them.

For the nerv torturing guys on the street: When I walk alone I put my EarPods in and voila: wonderful quiet. Since day 2 no one approached me anymore.

Shops are mostly empty. Only some in Vieje sell things you might need but prices are higher than in our countries. So, best to bring what you thing you might need with you.

I have WIFI in my casa which works 70% of the time well. For the other 30% and outside of casa I use eSIM. Bought 2 data plans. 1 from GigSky with 1 GB and another 1 with 3 GB from Kolet. Only data, no Cuban phone number. Would recommend it and also having VPN makes things easier.

A 2 hours trip with an old Chevrolet costs 50 Euro. But be warned. It stinks from petrol and is noisy. Still good for making some memorable pics.

For money: I've exchanged some at my casa owner after arrival as most of you did and do.

Cuba is really amazing. If you blind out the hard economical situation. Being a bit generous with tips is a win win. They pay it double back. I don't want to interfere the discussion with 30 or 40 or 100 Euro for chicas. Was already enough said. Would really recommend it as an alternative for Asia. Much better in terms of chicas than Colombia or Brazil because everything is quite safe.

Hope this helps some of you. Now last Cuba Libre and Cohiba on balcony and then lights out.

P.S. some Spanish is indeed helpful. But also possible to survive with Google translator or checking in Badoo for English speaking ladies.

[JinaWrangler]

Great report, Bindestrich. Yes, Cuba is amazing, so long as you do it right, as detailed by many here.

I don't vape, but I bring a ton of food (I don't eat the local food when in Cuba). I even bring injectable meds with syringes. They really don't care.

Those La Llave coffee bricks are available in local Havana stores for a bit cheaper than I found them on Amazon (one store on San Rafael always has them). Buy them with pesos and save some room in your maletas. I'm even seeing American candy (eg Snickers, Milky Way, Twix) as well as potato chips (Lays stackables). I think the greatest gifts are things that are hard or impossible to get in Cuba. Good underwear comes to mind. Think Walmart. And of course they have to try them on to make sure the fit jjj. Also, girls go crazy for perfume and body sprays, but Havana has those too. They always want to use my cologne and I try to explain it's for men not women jjjjj.

WRT the airport hassles, on the way in, I pay for the VIP lounge access and sit and chill in the lounge and they bring me my bags. It's like $35, a rounding error for me considering how much I blow on these trips haha. It typically saves you time if there are long lines in immigration, and you sit and chill in an AC'd lounge instead of standing around the luggage carousel. They even have cold beer. BTW there is an Etecsa store in the airport if you need to activate a phone.

I wish I were leaving tomorrow for Havana. Salud, aceres!

I'm down, jjj.

Hopefully we'll be able to find some Cristals / Bucaneros. This past February it's hard for me to find Cristal and ended up drinking Coronas that my host had stocked in the fridge.

I still don't have an arrival date yet, so I'll let you know. Couple of questions? Do you have a local number in Havana? I have one but don't know if it'll be good by the time I arrive.

Where do you stay? I stay in the Vedado section, a couple of blocks from the Hotel Nacional, I have 2 places both independent apartments. No issues with either one.

Saludos.

Pd, does your Cubana has a sexy sister or friend? Jjj.

I haven't bought tickets yet, but I was thinking January 15 to February 4th. That would be give me two weekends of non-jazz concerts before the festival starts (I love all cuban music, menos reguetóand jijiji).

I borrow or "rent" a local number every time, but it's different from trip to trip, so I couldn't give it to you in advance. But I have a whatsapp account connected to my greek number and I could give you that.

I stay in Vedado too, on 25th between K and L, one block away from Habana Libre. It's pretty basic, but cheap, €25, and I don't spend too much time in, so I don't mind. If you, or anybody else, can suggest another place in the area (say between 21,25, M and J) I would be interested. Up to €35 and chica friendly. A small kitchen with m / w would be nice, to warm up cajita lunches.

My Cubana's sister works in Venezuela as a nurse. I'the have to ask for sexy friends jijiji.

Let me know if you have access to PM and I can send it to you or you can send me your number by PM.

I'll let you know if I rent the place by the Malecon, then I can hook you up to the place on Linea & M, it's prolly about 4 block from the place you mention where you stay. It's 35 USD or Euros daily.

Complete 1 bedroom indy apartment with kitchen and very clean. As far as the owner, he's kind of nosy but won't bother you. 1st time there he told me to be careful if I brought a girl over, mentioning about the risk of being ripped off but no other objections. But again, don't get your hopes up, like I said I'd need to book the Malecon location 1st if it's available, then I'd give you the info on the other place.

I usually book my trip to arrive a few days before the fest starts. Waiting to score a good fare from my location. I stay for 2-3 weeks. As far as music goes, I'm into the whole Habana music scene, to me it's like being a kid in a candy store analogy when I get there. Where I live, we hardly get any Cuban music.

Anyone ever come across a rather busty "blonde" girl with flower tattoos on the right shoulder down to right cheek? Lost her number when changing phones and I am trying to get back to Havana next month, for the first time since 2015, for a couple of weeks and hoping she is still around Plaza Vieja (memorable BJs and willing) :)

[FlagRunner77]

Hi all. Can anyone provide a recommendation for a taxi from Varadero Airport to Havana? And advise of what the going rate should be? I thought it would be cheaper to stay a night in Varadero and take the Viazul, but apparently it's $50 for a taxi to Varadero, so not worth wasting a night in Varadero and a 3 hour bus trip to Havana, with a taxi at the other end. Thanks.

Greetings gentleman,

Long time reader and finally got around to paying for a sub. I have been wanting to go to Cuba for a long time having traveled to many other places and literally flying over it and never getting a chance to stop by. The main thing stopping me was lack of knowledge of where to stay and where to find chicas and bring them back without legal problems. I appreciate the tons of info for the chicas ofc, however I am hoping to see if anyone is willing to share specific AirBnbs that are guest friendly and won't hassle me for registration? I am a US citizen for context so I can't stay at local hotels it seems. Does this mean the hotel roof tops bars and pools are not available to me? Any recommendations on what to do or where to eat that hasn't already been shared would be appreciated as well. I LOVE Cuban women, the people, and the food (when seasoned) but Miami is just too much of a budget breaker for me. I am happy to share intel on US mongering on seeking (which I see is simply not known down there) as well as success stories and intel in Colombia and even Puerto Rico. I am fluent in Spanish and I love Salsa music. Beach recs beyond Varadero would be appreciated as well.

My plan for now is to explore Havana and return every few months to see the rest of the island. (How does one find girl s from other provinces?) Thanks in advance.

[WaltoDerri]

I also wanted to share my personal taste in Cuban women with these civvies I've come across on social media but are unresponsive. I love their look. Sharing since I want to know where I can find similar working girls since I did notice mention of most of them being on the darker side, no hate just not my cup of tea unless she is BEAUTIFUL in the face with those nice long curls you see in Afro Latinas. I see it more often in Dominican women but I digress. Enjoy the eye candy.

Thanks in advance.Don't worry the hotels want you to come and spend money at their bars and cigar stores, you just can't register as a guest. And you don't want to anyway since they aren't chica-friendly. IMO the best rooftop bar is the Manzana Kempinski, which is basically between El Floridita and the Parque Central Hotel. But you won't pick up Cuban girls there. For nightlife you need to hit a club. You can meet chicas you already know at the Manzana for drinks and or dinner, but most people at these bars are Spanish tourists who are guests of the hotel, and most are married.

It might be worth it to buy an MLC card for hotel bars and government-run stores. You can buy MLC cards just outside Jose Marti at the currency exchange windows, or the Paseo Prado Hotel has a little bank in the lobby where you can get an MLC card for $5 and put USD on it (but don't use them to exchange dollars to pesos or you'll be raped). You can keep the MLC card for your next trip because they don't expire for like 3 years IIRC. You can add money on them at the hotel bank I mentioned, and check your balance.

Pools, notsomuch. I have yet to find a hotel that still lets you pay per day for pool access, but if anyone knows of one I'd love to hear it. Typical no business sense in Cuba, they'd rather have these pools empty all day than let non guests pay to come in. Dumb, but that's commies.

I can't recommend food since I bring all my own. I apportion all of my risk to my chica activities and none to my gullet (not going into more detail than that jjj). The one time I ate local in Cuba I got the runs. But if you want to eat in Havana just make sure everything on your plate is too hot to eat and you'll be OK. Avoid fried foods since they are often undercooked. I think some undercooked croquetas gave me the runs on my trip summer before last. I have heard good things about Cha Cha Cha, so look up that on TripAdvisor, probably the best source for good Cuban restaurant reviews, and they even have good maps. Bring immodium just to be safe.

[MexicanCuban]

Hi!

Ill try to answer some of your questions, been to Cuba many many times (as a mexican, me and my friends have made many trips there).

About bringing back girls to your place, I usually rent an aibnb or a casa, not hotel. Some landlords who rent you the house or aibnb sometimes they ask for an ID of the chick (I think is more for the safety of yours and also to avoid stealing). Also to avoid bringing chicks under 18 they check the ID. Airbnbs in Cuba are not as strict like in europe or the us where you have to pre register your guest with name and all the info beforehand. In Casas, its even easier, I remember bringing like 4-5 different chicks and no problem,. A friend brought like 10 chicks in a week, sometimes 2 at the same time (3 some) and no problem.

So, book an airbnb or casa, its better. Some hotels try to charge you extra for bringing a girl back, so I try to avoid hotels.

Beach recs, just outside havana you have playas del este, like playa Santa Maria, those beaches are good places to find chicks, I met one of the most beaufitul cuban women in Mar. Azul. And its very easy, my advice is that if you see a girl you like, just go buy a couple of sodas (or beer) and just approach her and just say Hi and give her one. Its very easy.

One other thing is that you have to rent a car, chicks always are asking for rides on the street or malecon, whatever, you can even choose between the hot ones to give them a ride. I met another chick like that once, just gve her a ride and got her number.

In discotecas, its like fishing with dymanite, specially salon rojo del capri or casa de la musica (the one in miramar or the one in galiano). Its full of pros mostly, but hot ones.

One thing that Cuba chicks love is that you bring them small presents, beauty stuff, like a palette of make up, those packs of nails that they just glue them on their hands, lashes, and all those things. Also bring many small packs of soap, toothpaste, shampoo, and give them to the chicks, they love those things that are not easy to get there. And try to give them before fucking them, right when you have them in your room, so they will be very happy and fuck your brains out as a thank you haha.

Any other questions, just ask.

Oh, and I think ill need some of your intel on seeking mongering in the US and also maybe some intel on Colombia (been there a couple of times but only short trips).

Sorry about the typos, I'm typing fast.

Do either of you have intel on specific casas or AirBnbs to stay at? It's the last piece of my puzzle as far as planning logistics.

[Nomars777]

A friend of mine is in Havana now, and he is staying right on San Rafael, near to Parque Central, and he to pick Airbnbs, he literally just sent messages to the hosts asking if he could bring girls there. A few said no, but well over half said they had no problems with it. So best bet is to pick a location you want to be in, make some choices, message the hosts to see if they're ok with you bringing guests in and off you go.

Should easily come up with a list of places that are good with it, then make your choice based on other factors, like location, amenities, etc.

I felt like it was exposing my filthy intentions. But every single one responded respectfully yes or no and that was that. Nobody shamed me or anything. And you 100% want to know this before you show up to Cuba anyway. Zero chance you want to arrive and then learn you can't have guests. So just ask directly and politely.

[JinaWrangler]

I dunno, I generally find it better to ask forgiveness than permission haha. I always read the House Rules at the bottom of the listing. If it doesn't say anything about no unregistered visitors or overnight guests, what are they going to do, breach the contract and leave you homeless and get a terrible review on AirBNB? That would be serious enough to get them de-listed.

The key is an AirBNB where the host is 20 minutes away. If they live in the building, probably want to pre-clear it.

And sorry bruhs, wish you happy mongering, but I'm not giving away my favorite AirBNB or my favorite girls JJJ.

Man this work thing is really interfering with my Cuba exploits. Is it November yet?

Many of the apartment rentals in Havana and Vedado are private now -- thier hurting for business big time.

I'm referring primariily to 2 family casas where the owner lives in one apartment and rents out the second apartment.

What you want is a apartment with your own entrance not a shared entrance. You will have to share the gate entrance from the street.

Most of the houses now have the camera systems for security owners know whos coming and going.

I'm leaving in a few days so I went on tinder to try to pre game today. After like 15 swipe I can't find no more girl in Cuba. I have badoo but I feel like I'm missing something. Can someone help me out.I used Badoo to pre-game as well and I found quite a few hits that were worth keeping for my trip. Are you not seeing anything on Badoo? When I signed up, I made sure it didn't have access to my location so that I could force it to use Havana. Maybe check your location? What are you seeing in Badoo? Nothing or just chicks that don't interest you?

You do guy pay for credits to talk to girl on badoo??

Badoo isn't the problem it's tinder. There are plenty of girls on there but really none on tinder I guess. You do guy pay for credits to talk to girl on badoo??I didn't pay anything for Badoo. I don't even know what paying gets for you. I would just swipe, then send a message saying, Hi, what's up or something like that, move on to how's your day going, and then go right into asking if she has WhatsApp and if she'd like to give me her number. My understanding is that most girls on Badoo want to move to WhatsApp since it's faster than messaging in Badoo and easier to use. Added bonus is that once you are messaging through WhatsApp, you also can see whatever "status updates" they post so you can see if their Badoo pics were highly filtered or not.

By the time I got to Havana, I had about 6 or 7 girls in WhatsApp. And that's important because when you start to message them, they don't all have data or aren't always near a wifi spot. So you may need to message 1 or 2 girls to get a response last minute if you're looking for company within the hour or so.

The phrase that best summarizes Cuba: The Reports of my Death are Greatly Exaggerated!

Summary: An awesome time, even better than my great, first trip. This report will be written as an update to my first trip rather than rehashing prior info.

Trip length: 11 days. Casa particular: $25/ nt, modern and updated. Airfare: $160 ea way. Chicago to Havana via Houston on United. Havana to Chicago via Miami on American.

Official exchange rate is still 120 CUP /$1 USD. The unofficial exchange rate: 320 CUP /$1 USD. Track the unofficial exchange rate via El Toque https://eltoque.com/.

Airport Taxi: It is $25 USD or $3000 CUP (25*120 CUP. Official exchange rate) for an official taxi from airport to Miramar. On my return, I used La Nave and paid 4200 CUP ($13.50 USD calculating 320 CUP unofficial exchange rate).

Weather: 85 F - 95 F everyday.

Electricity: I saw no problem with the electricity this trip. I ran my aircon the whole time. Our neighborhood did not experience any outages during my trip. This was different from my last trip where I was affected by power outages once or twice during the day.

Cubacel service: 4 G. I used a 3 G chip from my former trip. I need to upgrade my chip during my next trip to Cuba.

Taxi's: I used La Nave (Uber-like app). Pay in cash upon ride completion. I was always able to get a LA NAVE for all my travels around the city. There are an abundance of taxis available, but I did not use any this trip. You must have a local number to create an account, and you must have this app downloaded prior to your arrival in Cuba or otherwise have VPN capabilities to download it.

Availability of food and beers, etc. Minimal problems this trip. Plenty of Cristal Beer (was hard to get my last trip). One restaurant had difficulty keeping pineapple in stock (which was a key ingredient in several of their plates). Also plenty of bottled water, and I was happy about that with considering the heat levels this trip!

Bars:
1 era why 70 & JJ (Jota Jota): I covered these bars / restaraunts during my first visit. These bars and restaurants impressed me again during this trip. I will continue to visit these during future trips.

Hotel Nacional. Capablanca Rooftop Bar - https://hotelnacionaldecuba.com/restaurants-and-bars/. You feel like a rockstar here. Beautiful night, beautiful bar overlooking the malecon. DJ keeping the music going well into the night. They accepted cash here for payment.

Gran Hotel Manzana Kempinski: https://www.kempinski.com/en/gran-hotel-kempinski-la-habana. 5 star hotel with amazing infinity pool on top floor. Went up here to have a cafecito and smoke a Cohibaduring the day. Spectacular views. Downside was everything must be paid by card, so have someone with you that has one. Card can be loaded on main floor of the hotel at the exchange desk.

Buena Vista Social Club: There are multiple locations around the city! I visited the one in Miramar on a Sunday night and it was packed! Lively entertainment, great food / drink package was like $20.

Restaurants:
Ley Seca: instagram. Ley_seca_speakeasyhabana. Restored speakeasy, the bar is huge once you go past the bookshelf into the "hidden" bar. Happy hour specials for the after work crowd.

El Bleco: instagram. Blecohavana. Beautiful view of the entire malecon from this restaurant. There is no sign for this restaurant. It being hidden is one of the attractions. You just have to know where it is. When you knock on a big blue steel door, someone from inside rolls the door open to let you in. Great food and drinks here, and you can hear el caonazo del nueve blast off at night in the distance.

Sloppy Joe's Bar: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sloppy%20Joe's%20 Bar%20-%20 Havana /154549284745561. Beautifully restored bar from 1910's era. Lists of old photos decorating the walls. The sloppy Joe was tasty too!

El Palenque: A series of restaurant / bar / ice cream places for locals. Everything is very cheap here because it's owned by the government. It's generally all locals, families enjoying a nice place. Lots of little ones running around.

Marea. Nice riverfront restaurant. It's surrounded by boat slips that, at key times, is full of boats visiting from Miami.

La Floresta: upscale restaurant in Miramar, great drinks and food from appetizers, main courses, and desserts. Outside dining area is beautifully lit at night, and has a DJ on weekends.

Alta Casa: upscale restaurant, great brick oven pizzas which were very popular the night I visited.

Things to do:
1. El caonazo de las nueve: https://www.lahabana.gob.cu/post_detalles/es/10547/el-canonazo-de-las-nueve. As 9 pm approaches, the Cuban military performs a tremendous ceremony which is capped off by firing the cannon at 9 pm. A tremendous sight to see and experience.

2. Cabaret Parisen: https://hotelnacionaldecuba.com/product/cabaret-parisien/. A amazing cabaret show. This show used to run in the hundreds of dollars. The entertainment was top notch!

3. Havana Bus Tur (Hop on, hop off): Talked to the bus attendant. For those that don't make reservations online, they can pay $10 USD (exact change required) prior to boarding for a ticket.

4. Habana Vieja: Interacting with local people, stopping at one of the many cafe's for a cafecito, daiquiri, and a cohiba cigar make this area a must visit I go to La Habana!

5. Coastline swim: Went for a dip in the water along 1 y70. Its not a beach but many families and young people were swimming in this beautifully warm water. The shoreline is coral, so you definitely need swim shoes (ie flip flops or crocs) to enter the water.

Girls:
I met an awesome woman on my first trip and we kept in touch via WhatsApp the past two years. She never asked me for anything. In fact, she recharged my Cuban cell account twice to keep it active. She was my vacation wife and I were very happy during my trip!

That said, I did get the chance to go out plenty of my own, and spent many nights at "1 era why 70" bars. Girls charged $40 USD /12 k CUP. No shortage of freelancers anywhere. Definitely check for ID prior to negotiations! Also, you will have to register your guests at all Casa Particulars (the administrator will log her details into a book that must be available to the government for inspection).

Disappointments:
1. Flying Standby at HAV: If you want to fly standby (because you arrived at the airport early or have gone through security quicker than intended), you must inquire about seat availability and try to make the flight change during check-in before entering security / immigration. Once you enter the secure terminal area, no changes may be made to your ticket. I walked up to an AA agent who said "I'm sorry. Yes, this (earlier) flight is practically empty. However, according to Cuban law, your flight may not be changed once you enter this secure area. You may only fly the flight printed on your boarding pass issued before you pass security / immigration. " Arrrugh! Oh well.

2. Museo de la Revolucion: Three years "closed for remodeling" and they still haven't opened to walk up tourists. This should literally be the number one tourist attraction in La Habana. To tell the story of the country’s revolution from their point of view is important for those of us from other countries. That makes this closing frustrating. I was later was told that they only open to pre-planned tour groups.

3. Cohiba cigar factory tour. Factory closed for employee vacations.

4. Cuban Baseball Season. Unclear as to when the season starts, however, it definitely did not start prior or during my trip in September. No league announcements made yet as to the start date for the season. I was told to try in February.

[FlagRunner77]

Hello all.

So, I'm going through a bit of a crisis of confidence right now. I'm really hoping for some genuine advice.

Firstly, I want to say I love Cuba, and particularly Cuban music. I love Son and salsa. I visited Cuba for the first, and only, time in 2005. It was a great experience but it was long before the thoughts of P4 P ever entered my head!

Fast forward to today. I am between jobs for 2 weeks at short notice and I want to finally get back to Cuba. Everything non-mongering about Cuba is exactly what I want in a trip. And I love that I can genuinely help people with small gifts and tips that are inconsequential to me.

That being said, I really enjoy my trips to SEA where I can truly relax with a companion (if you know what I mean). That is a large part of a successful and relaxing trip for me. I know P4 P is available in Cuba, albeit under the radar, and I was generally ok with the extra hoops that I'd have to jump through. However, I've been reading through the forum, and also watching various youtube videos (eg Keenan Lambert) and I'm really concerned that I may get to Cuba and fall flat on my face in terms of ladies. I'm learning spanish but, listening to the conversations on that youtube channel, I couldn't follow them at all. I thought I was learning ok, but now I fell like I'm nowhere.

So, that leaves me with the choice of travelling and hoping for the best (knowing that I'll at least love the dance classes and the culture but I'll ultimately likely be frustrated at no P4 P), or cancelling my plans, taking a financial hit, and booking a trip to SEA where the P4 P is guaranteed but the cultural aspect (in terms of my interests) is lacking.

I really want thoughts either way. Now is the time for me to change my plans if I need to. Realistically, I'm not going to be able to speak Spanish when I am there, other than broken random sentences. Given that, and my desire for P4 P, should I opt for the safe option of SEA? Or, given that I'm happy with minimal P4 P (as long as there is the potential for some excluding hardened jineteras) should I stick with my current plan?

This is a difficult situation to explain. I love Cuba, and Cuban music and dance. I'm very eager to finally return. But at the same time, rightly or wrongly, as a single guy I really want to make the most of my trips with some P4 P. It's probably pathetic, but those are my considerations.

Any advice at this stage would be appreciated. I have probably a week to decide and change my plans if necessary.

Thanks!

TLDR: How likely is it for a non-Spanish speaking obvious gringo to be able to find P4 P in Havana?

Wish more folks here that ask lots of questions would do reports for the rest of us like you did.

Question, How did you manage to score such a low airfare? I am based on the west coast, this past February I got a round trip for 321 Lax-Houston-Habana. Now the same route fluctuates between 540 to 570!

How expensive was the Hotel Nacional Parisien? Can I go in by myself? Or do I need to go in with a chica?

How do I set up La Nave before going? It asks for my Cubano tele number which I don't have.

TIA.

[JinaWrangler]

Great report Mexidan!

One thing I know nothing about is the bars and clubs. The old advice used to be avoid them if you want chicas more on the amateur side of the spectrum. But that was before the days of mobile apps. I'd really like to hear the typical quality of girl in these bars.

And the Hotel Nacional Parisien, I'm curious about since in my experience the rooftop bars are pretty dead and I've never seen Cubanas at them. Does the Hotel Nacional have Cuban girls?

TIA.Great questions!

1. I'm coming from Chicago. The rates from here are usually below $500. However, both times I flew for about $350 RT.

2. You can go alone, and it's a great show. When you walk in to the Parisen dedicated door at Nacional, you can buy a ticket. I think it's better to go with someone, but I'd be cool going alone as well. It's a great show! I paid 6000 CUP pp.

3. Just download La Nave in the USA. You can set your account up once you reach Cuba and your local number is active. The pain in the butt is trying to download the app from Cuba because the App Store isn’t available in Cuba unless you have a VPN.

TLDR: How likely is it for a non-Spanish speaking obvious gringo to be able to find P4 P in Havana?

With regards to p4 p, it always comes down to both of you speaking the universal language. Cash.

If you're nervous about it, I would recommend the following: get on Badoo right now. Make some initial contacts using google translate. Mention to the girls that you don't speak Spanish and if they have a problem with that. That should give you an idea as to how difficult (or not difficult) it is to get girls. I can guarantee that you'll have a few contacts before you hit the ground that will know and absolutely not care about your lack of Spanish skills. But at least you'll have an idea of what you'll be dealing with there. These girls are looking for white guys anyways, since that's where the money is.

Lastly, offline google translate to use it there to help you get around. If you're really really nervous about it, put google translate on an old phone with nothing else on it. That way if you have to hand the phone over to a local, you don't have to worry about them clicking on anything they shouldn't.

Last time I visited the hamburger was the only thing they had, no salad, no fries, no bun, just two bits of bread and burger. That was last year. Has it improved? Did you order there or just see the big menu of items they almost certainly don't have?

Did you order there or just see the big menu of items they almost certainly don't have?The thing about Cuba is, it's an inefficient centrally-planned, cleptocratic economy, so they can't keep shelves stocked. Also, they get these intermittent shipments of things via cargo ship. On one trip, a store is loaded with great stuff. The next trip, there is very little. So there is no store or restaurant you can count on. My regular government-run mercado for water was out of it two trips ago, and only got it late into my most recent trip. Restaurants are the same. Roll of the dice. Although I suspect the more successful restaurants (like Che Cha Cha in Habana Vieja) bribe the right people to stay flush with ingredients. If even government-run stores can't keep the shelves full, that should tell you a lot. But you don't go to Cuba for the cuisine! Except of course, the papaya jjj.

BTW, if you look closely at these cargo ships entering Havana Harbor, many have luxury goods, including speedboats and motorcycles. Of course those are for high party officials.

Here's a report from early summer in Havana. Total of 7-8 days.

First off, from what I have read I thought no one spoke English. I was surprised how many people actually knew English and for those who didn't, I used google translate. Downloaded Spanish for those times when the internet stopped working due to blackouts or traveling to more remote areas. I stayed in Old Havana and Vedado.

I started working on Badoo way too soon. A few days before, 1 week at the latest is all you need, but you could just show up and start shooting messages. All say they want real relationships, but almost none rejected money for fun. Had two dates who wanted a relationship but both asked for money when leaving for their business or their mom's birthday, etc; their asking was right around the asking price for p4 p. They had no issues with just hanging out in the casa for the date! I was more than happy to give them what they wanted (about $50 give or take considering the fluctuation of the currency). Decided to just negotiate there on out. I tried Bumble and Tinder but wasn't as useful. Didn't get as much hits on Instagram, but many of the dating app girls had IG so they are on there, you just got to be patient with them seeing your messages whether that's DM or comments, but my IG game isn't that strong to start with and you probably have to start much sooner than the dating app!

Walked Prado and there are a lot working girls hanging out just walking, sitting, and such. You can people watch on the Prado, day and night, they will sit near you and start small talk before maybe ask for a drink of water, a lighter, etc, then if you want a little fun. Those that approached while sitting were not the best lookers. A pimp approached and propositioned his girl, which was cute but 10 or so years beyond my preferred age range, and priced too high, and he had other girls walking the Prado. As I was making my way through my last block of the Prado before calling it, I spotted a girl being approached by guys but she kept walking. Our eyes met and I thought she was underaged so I was getting ready to just call it a night before she called me out. Tiny 23-24 year old that looked much younger, checked her ID twice, and had my CASA host check it as well! Advanced English skills. Not sure if it was a sellers market, as there seemed to be plenty of Prado girls, but this girl was definitely the cream of the crop. She told me she is picky and I believed her as I watched her turn away two guys. I walked the Prado one night only, the rest were during the day. All but the Prado girl provided GFE with DFK and DATY. The two girls that wanted a relationship both provided a very sensual shower experience, but all actual fun was in the bed. The shower was too small!

Walked San Rafael 2 nights starting from Parque Central to Parque Fe del Valle. Many folks people watching and just hanging out at the park both nights. Couldn't tell if there were any working girls. The walk to and from Parque Fe del Valle had a few working girls but they were not up to par with what I was looking for.

Never quite made it to the nightclubs or bars! It's on my to-do list!

My trip consisted of paying everything in pesos. If anything was dollars or euros I would would just ask to pay in pesos. To simplify the exchange rate of USD and Euros, many places including girls just consider them as equal rates. I did money exchanges with my casas and delivery service. Seemed like all my casas provided money exchange. Found a kid off one of the Facebook groups that literally ran throughout Havana providing money exchange delivery service while also hustling side jobs. The kid provide good but not great rates mostly due to the fluctuating currency. I actually got a pretty very good rate from him an hour later as the dollar value fell. Limited English but it worked! Very non threatening skinny kid, and there are others off FB groups. Have heard of people paying everything in dollars as the best route, but as I'm not living on a pension or loaded with cash, paying in pesos in general went much farther even though it required a little more effort.

Paid everyone in pesos and the girls seemed to be okay with it. If they proposed in dollars, I just asked for pesos and they were more than happy to give in pesos. Saved a couple of bucks that added up to a free fuck.

Bought a SIM card at the airport, later found out its a tourist SIM card and is data only. Usually not an issue as you can still use Whatsapp or Telegram, but I was not able to use La Nave because I needed a confirmation text or something. Transportation is expensive unlike other latin countries, and La Nave helps with not needing to negotiate as a non-Spanish speaker. If getting a SIM card, make sure its not a tourist SIM. Took me many hours to finally have someone who spoke English to clarify that with me. The tourist SIM was $35 compared to the local SIM which was, I believe, less than $10.

Electrical blackouts are very common and a way of life! Stay in Old Havana closest to the tourist areas to reduce the risk of blackouts. I had one blackout while I was in Havana, but it was due to a crazy thunderstorm! Got an awesome top floor penthouse casa but the blackout forced me to walk up 13 flights of stairs, than as I reached the 12th floor, the power came back on and the elevator opened. Usually I would just wait but it was midnight and I needed sleep! Traveling to the typical cities such as Vinales and Trinidad included daily blackouts so be warned. My Vinales casa host told me a couple had to leave because they could deal with the heat from not having the AC running, and my casa had external power for a fan.

Met up with MikeyVee123, standout and chill guy and a cigar aficionados! Hung out for a few days chatting, did a tour together, and such, definitely made getting my bearings with Havana and Cuba easier!

One more thing, I've read about folks bringing lots of $1 bills as tips. However, I found this to not be the case as I was given back the $1 bill and asked for pesos. I guess it reduces the need for them to find a money exchange.

Overall, I loved Cuba for all its craziness and the people are great! There is a lot of hustlers, and everyone seems to need money for their infant daughter or mother! The girls are beautiful and come in all shades of color from very white European to black as ash girls!

Great report. And yeah you summed up Cuba girls. All of them are theoretically in play. Some ask for gifts afterwards instead of an up-front quid pro quo, but I have found this to be rare. Some are in between. It's always understood though. The conventional wisdom is, if foreigners have enough money for plane fare and an AirBNB they have enough for regalos. They know you aren't there to live happily ever after, so any girl who agrees to meet you is down for P4 P. It's funny when they come over and reglaos have not been discussed yet. You both know it's a subtext, but neither has brought it up. Sexual tension indeed haha.

I've always believed that like autism, P4 P is like a spectrum in Cuba, except every girl is on the P4 P spectrum haha. Some girls are full on streetwalking jinateras (10 on the P4 P-tism scale) and some are in the middle (5), which is generally the best since they don't have the 1000 cock stare. Others (1-3's) can be converted but it takes Spanish and game and time, which most people don't have. But if you were there for 6 months every chick would be in play if you speak Spanish and don't look like Jabba the Hut. But with online there is no need to guess; if they respond they are down (except for the rare scammer / time waster).

Also what you said about the hang out at the casa is spot on. Most chicas would be happy to go to a bar and have you spend money, but I have never had one decline to hang out on my balcon for some cervezas. If anything, they are hesitant to be seen with you in public because god forbid someone they know sees them with a foreigner and assumes they are P4 P-ing. I've taken girls I like to bars to hang out a little, but some simply will not be seen in public with you, haha. If you just want to get DTFing, invite them over for a Cristal.

The SIM card thing is annoying. I finally figured out there is a permanent mobile line option, but you have to haggle a little to get it. Last visit I had my hosts with me at the Etecsa store next to the airport, and they horse traded for it. So it exists, and if you want to go back again it is the better option (assuming it's within a year or two). I think they are encouraged to sell the tourist one because it's pure profit since most tourists won't use all the data. The Etecsa store *in* the airport is probably not the best place to buy the permanent line SIMs. There's a big Etecsa store on Obispo, which is way more chill than standing in a busy airport and don't have a lot of time. Of course the one upside of having your phone activated immediately is you can contact your hosts to let you in, assuming they didn't pick you up from the airport.

I wish it were winter already.


Here's a report from early summer in Havana. Total of 7-8 days.

First off, from what I have read I thought no one spoke English. I was surprised how many people actually knew English and for those who didn't, I used google translate. Downloaded Spanish for those times when the internet stopped working due to blackouts or traveling to more remote areas. I stayed in Old Havana and Vedado.

I started working on Badoo way too soon. A few days before, 1 week at the latest is all you need, but you could just show up and start shooting messages. All say they want real relationships, but almost none rejected money for fun. Had two dates who wanted a relationship but both asked for money when leaving for their business or their mom's birthday, etc; their asking was right around the asking price for p4 p. They had no issues with just hanging out in the casa for the date! I was more than happy to give them what they wanted (about $50 give or take considering the fluctuation of the currency). Decided to just negotiate there on out. I tried Bumble and Tinder but wasn't as useful. Didn't get as much hits on Instagram, but many of the dating app girls had IG so they are on there, you just got to be patient with them seeing your messages whether that's DM or comments, but my IG game isn't that strong to start with and you probably have to start much sooner than the dating app!

Walked Prado and there are a lot working girls hanging out just walking, sitting, and such. You can people watch on the Prado, day and night, they will sit near you and start small talk before maybe ask for a drink of water, a lighter, etc, then if you want a little fun. Those that approached while sitting were not the best lookers. A pimp approached and propositioned his girl, which was cute but 10 or so years beyond my preferred age range, and priced too high, and he had other girls walking the Prado. As I was making my way through my last block of the Prado before calling it, I spotted a girl being approached by guys but she kept walking. Our eyes met and I thought she was underaged so I was getting ready to just call it a night before she called me out. Tiny 23-24 year old that looked much younger, checked her ID twice, and had my CASA host check it as well! Advanced English skills. Not sure if it was a sellers market, as there seemed to be plenty of Prado girls, but this girl was definitely the cream of the crop. She told me she is picky and I believed her as I watched her turn away two guys. I walked the Prado one night only, the rest were during the day. All but the Prado girl provided GFE with DFK and DATY. The two girls that wanted a relationship both provided a very sensual shower experience, but all actual fun was in the bed. The shower was too small!

Walked San Rafael 2 nights starting from Parque Central to Parque Fe del Valle. Many folks people watching and just hanging out at the park both nights. Couldn't tell if there were any working girls. The walk to and from Parque Fe del Valle had a few working girls but they were not up to par with what I was looking for.

Never quite made it to the nightclubs or bars! It's on my to-do list!

My trip consisted of paying everything in pesos. If anything was dollars or euros I would would just ask to pay in pesos. To simplify the exchange rate of USD and Euros, many places including girls just consider them as equal rates. I did money exchanges with my casas and delivery service. Seemed like all my casas provided money exchange. Found a kid off one of the Facebook groups that literally ran throughout Havana providing money exchange delivery service while also hustling side jobs. The kid provide good but not great rates mostly due to the fluctuating currency. I actually got a pretty very good rate from him an hour later as the dollar value fell. Limited English but it worked! Very non threatening skinny kid, and there are others off FB groups. Have heard of people paying everything in dollars as the best route, but as I'm not living on a pension or loaded with cash, paying in pesos in general went much farther even though it required a little more effort.

Paid everyone in pesos and the girls seemed to be okay with it. If they proposed in dollars, I just asked for pesos and they were more than happy to give in pesos. Saved a couple of bucks that added up to a free fuck.

I couldn't agree more about the P4 P spectrum. I actually have 2 little anecdotes from my March trip that highlights your theory:

1. My buddy and I were walking down Prada one night. I noticed a family sitting on the concrete benches (mom, dad and young child). Dad gets up and starts crossing the street towards a store. Mom and kid stand up as well. Kid takes off after the dad. Mom looks fit as hell with that full latina ass and very pretty. I can't stop looking as we're walking past. Just as we're a few steps passed, she turns and sees me ogling her. I'm thinking, "shit, I just got busted being a perv", which is ingrained in me by living in North America and not being allowed to look at a chick too long. However, she sees me looking and gives me a smile and "that look". I kept walking cause her hubby and kid are just reaching the other side of the street, but I've been kicking myself for not stopping and seeing if she would have come over to chat. Spectrum.

2. My buddy and I had breakfast at the same restaurant 2 days in a row and then lunch there one of those days as well. Super cute staff and good food made us keep going back. Me, looking like Jabba the Hut (as JinaWrangler put it so succinctly) has no chance with these girls normally (young 20's, very beautiful with fantastic bodies and just working as restaurant staff, not out on the prowl). However, I have them laughing almost right away, getting them involved in conversation, asking about where to go or what stores to find certain things, and 2 days later, I have their WhatsApp and am lining them up to take them to Hotel National for dinner. Unfortunately we ran out of time there so we couldn't make it happen. But still, fact remains that they were still on the P4 P-spectrum somewhere. Probably closer to 3, but I was still in play.

6 long cold months to go before I'm back.

I'm reading the forum and I've actually been to Cuba before, but I understand the population is under more poverty and hunger than ever before. Obviously minus the BBL demons how are the Cubanas looking? In 2024 Are there thick girls and fat ass in abundance in Havana or is it few and far between. A good mix of both?

[JinaWrangler]

Haha, yes, as a flaka aficianado, I can attest that there are plenty of the opposite in Cuba as well. Don't worry, at least in Havana, the girls seem to eat plenty jaja. Very diverse country and there are chicas to satisfy all tastes. Just a bummer that I am 8 weeks away from that smorgasbord of tastiness.

A good mix of both?Haha that's funny, I've had wives and girlfriends give me the look on the street. Several girls with Cuban boyfriends I've met up with. I think committed relationships just have a different meaning in Cuba. Many use that "ethical non-monogamy" get out of jail free card. I've even seen some post pics on their Badoo profiles with boyfriends in them. I don't think Cubans get jealous in the same way westerners do.

BTW, I discovered that the Suenacuba website sells the permanent mobile line SIMs, and you pick them up at a local Etecsa store in Cuba (the Obispo store is an option).

Can you explain what these bars are and where to find the best ones please.1x70, or primera y setenta, is a strip of bars along the waterfront in Miramar. Each has a different vibe but it's awesome to just go bar to bar.

[SpanishBlack]

Will be going in late October and the report will be elite.

[HumptyHump]

Recently spent three night in Havana. Lined up some girls on the Badoo app about a week before my trip. Got a lot of responses, but only a few were to my liking. I prefer light skinned, all natural, petite women. It seems that is not the primary demographic in Cuba. I am so glad I got my chica contacts on Badoo before the trip, because I did not see many women on San Rafael or Prado that I would pick. Actually I saw very few girls working the streets.

On my first night, saw Bety from Badoo. She arrived on time. She is about 20, no kids, and has a killer body. I was tired from my journey, so started on the action right away. She gave a very nice blowjob, but the rest was pretty standard. Was a short session and sent her on her way so I could rest.

The next day, I saw Yali, also from Badoo. Yali is also about 20, has a one year old, works in a shop and also works as a sports instructor at a school. She is very petite, with a small ass and small titties to match. We chit chatted for a bit and then started on the action. This session lasted much longer as I was well rested. She was able to take quite a pounding, considering her size.

The following day, I asked Bety if she had any friends. She sent me some photos and I picked Stephany. Similar build as Yali but perkier tits. Lots of tattoos and long artificial nails, which are big turn offs for me. She kept asking me to be gentle and could hardly take my dick in doggy style, saying it hurt too much. Now I am no stud and am average at best. Even in missionary she kept trying to keep me from going all the way in. Another average session.

My Airbnb host's daughter showed me around old Havana on my first full day. She was a hottie, but has a boyfriend. I was still planning on making a move on her, but she caught a cold that day, and I only saw her on my final day when she came to the Airbnb to bid me farewell. Being able to fuck her would have been the highlight of my trip, but it was not meant to be.

I was initially going to stay 4 nights, but bought a new one way ticket to leave a day earlier. I had a few more girls on Badoo wanting to meet, but I just couldn't deal with the bad food, hot and humid weather and the lack of things to do. I don't think I will be returning to Cuba.

[HumptyHump]

Yes, most were darker skinned and thicker. The lighter skinned petite ones are there, you'll just have to search harder. I didn't see any working on the streets.

[Nomars777]

One of the reports from end of June time frame suggested the Badoo girls were about $40 USD for quality ones.

Let us know what you paid, just for reference.


How much did you pay the Badoo girls?

[EMode]

One of the reports from end of June time frame suggested the Badoo girls were about $40 USD for quality ones.

Let us know what you paid, just for reference.When I was there back in March, the going rate for street girls as well as Badoo girls was around $50.

I'm sure there are guys here that will argue that I should have negotiated down to $22.37 and that I'm ruining the curve for everyone and how can we expect these girls to know their true value if we over pay them for touching our stubby little shelaylays, but for a few bucks difference, I can't be bothered ruining a good time. I don't get any pleasure from negotiating a "good deal" with these girls. I want to get the money part out of the way as quickly and painlessly as possible and get on to the work of having fun with them and enjoying my vacation.

Funny little anecdote about money and value. When I was at the airport coming back, I was eating a sandwich and there was this old guy just losing it at the 2 waiters. Apparently, when he arrived the weekend before, he got 2 beers for 500 CUP and now it was 300 CUP per beer. It's like he'd never heard of a sale or something before. Not to mention, that he was leaving his vacation enraged and on a bad note over 33 CENTS! At the end of the argument, he gave the waiter 500 CUP and then yelled that he wanted his change back, "AND NO TIP! Apparently, making his own life miserable was worth the 30 cents. I guess value is in the eye of the beholder.

[Nomars777]

I agree, on my 2 trips, one in June and one in July, most of my experiences were in the $40-60 range. As I noted in one report, I did have a jinetero offer me a young girl, 19 I think, for the equivalent of like $10 USD, which seemed FAR too low. To the point where I was very concerned it might be a setup with an underage girl.

Either way, I'm not at all concerned if I pay $40 / $50 / $60, as long as the experience is a good one. And the guy who got angry over $0. 33, as one of the TV talking heads says, "Come on man! Get a grip and let it go. That level of stress will kill you quickly and it just isn't worth it.

My $0.02!

Hello all.


TLDR: How likely is it for a non-Spanish speaking obvious gringo to be able to find P4 P in Havana?I want to share some intel that was shared with me, it takes some more home work but just ask about it being okay to have guests with your hosts and if they don't mind not registering them as long as they can show ID. Apparently many are cool and say yes, others will straight up tell you no. This info is vital to have ahead of time. I'm like you where I don't want to sink money and time planning logistics and I can't even get laid on an island filled with beautiful women LOL.

Knowing enough to flirt and basic communication goes a long way so I suggest brushing up on Duo lingo (a free app). I'm lucky enough to be fluent but for context, I'm planning to go to Brazil soon and their language barrier is stopping me from connecting more with the ladies. This is my first experience with a language barrier on a trip so I understand everyone's frustration. You would think Portuguese and Spanish are similar enough but they are not. This is making me regret not doing Havana first, but the intel is here and veterans have been kind enough to help me plan my future trip. Sharing intel. Good luck.

My Airbnb host's daughter showed me around old Havana on my first full day. She was a hottie, but has a boyfriend. I was still planning on making a move on her, but she caught a cold that day, and I only saw her on my final day when she came to the Airbnb to bid me farewell. Being able to fuck her would have been the highlight of my trip, but it was not meant to be.

I was initially going to stay 4 nights, but bought a new one way ticket to leave a day earlier. I had a few more girls on Badoo wanting to meet, but I just couldn't deal with the bad food, hot and humid weather and the lack of things to do. I don't think I will be returning to Cuba.If you had stayed that extra day you may have been able to fuck her after all, I feel like you sold yourself short. I have been researching this thread, youtube videos, and trip advisor on where to find good food and the food looks good on the youtube videos and Instagram accounts I have found.

I'll say I feel like this is saying American food sucks because you were only going to the awful diners while being oblivious to where the good restaurants and steakhouses are. We know there's good American food and bad. Quality will range like anywhere else. I say the same to my friends who travel to other places too. Medellin Colombia had awful food and I had to go out of my way to ask around for recommendations and found a good steakhouse that was actually 5 minutes from my Airbnb, unbeknownst to me.

As far as women, Miami is filled with beautiful Cubanas, come on now. They came from *somewhere*. There's also variables like time of day that you went to scout in person and maybe just missed the surge of baddies by a few hours or so. Latinas and Latinos like going out LATE and that's when most Americans / Westerners like to hit the sack. My research here confirms this as well as my lived experience in other Latin countries. So now I just have a nice dinner around 7 PM and nap until 10/11 PM and go out scouting.

I honestly feel you should give it another chance and just stay at a more modern airbnb and do the research on good restaurants and make a list on google maps to keep track of it all plus things to do.

Info for Cuba is hard to come across hence why I am grateful for this little corner of the internet. Thanks to all the vets for passing their knowledge to the next generation of us hobbyists.

Recently downloaded Badoo and my goodness are these girls ugly. I am a very objective person. I can find beauty in girls without makeup lashes and all the extras but based off what everyone is saying Badoo girls were better than what's found in the streets? Pretty demotivating to visit.

[Evac305]

I agree the girls on badoo are terrible for the most part. A pro tip that I did to find better quality is to use instagram. I searched the popular clubs and would message the local girls that are tagged going to the club. Or look of the stories to see which girls get reposted.

Pretty demotivating to visit.I think it depends on what you're looking for. I did notice that there were a lot of darker skinned girls on there. When I was on it back in March, even though I'm not into black girls, I did find quite a few hot girls though. Have you checked your settings to see what age range you're looking at?

[Nomars777]

I finally went with 2 Badoo girls, both were pretty, one had much shorter hair than her profile and was chunkier, the other one was exactly like her photos.

Girl 1 - short hair - $40 USD for about 30 minutes because she tapped out.

Girl 2 - long hair smokin body - $60 USD for about 1.5+ hours and it was worth every penny.

More detailed report to come later, but wanted to confirm that the $30-50 range, average, is probably right on for Badoo girls.

Both beat around the busy a bit, but once I finally said, come, let's meet and then get in the bed, they both were like "OK" and that was that.

Enjoy everyone!


Ranged from 30 to 50.

Super long post, apologies! But I swear the story is good!

Girl #1 - Fantastic! - Jaila 23—24 years old - $120 USD for just under 2 hours of bareback sex in the room.

Arrived Thursday, 10/3, about 12:30 PM, checked into my Airbnb and immediately set out to meet a girl from Badoo. In so doing, I realized I forgot my "blue pills", so I was a little bummed. Unbelievably, while looking for this girl, down by Parque de las Palomas, I see a "Farmacia" on the corner, right nearby. I walk in, ask for Sildenafil. The super cute black girl is told by the other, much more flirtatious but definitely chunkier light completed manager to go look in the store room. She goes to the back, comes back with nothing. I'm even more bummed, but the manager says, "Hey, don't worry, let me call some people. " She calls 2 places, and says, yeah, I can get you a 10 50 MG pill blister pack for $10 USD. I'm thinking, well, I don't need 10, but ok, sure. She informs the person on the phone and 5-7 minutes later, in walks a woman with the pills! I look them over, they look authentic, and I'm a risk taker, so I go ahead and pay, thank them and go back to trying to locate the Badoo girl who only has internet when she has WiFi. She finally sends me her location, a little restaurant called La Cucana, but then texts back and says her baby has a fever and she has to run home.

Ok, well that sucks. In the meantime, I see a place that has 2 hot, hot waitresses, and so I sat down and got a mojito just to see how they respond to some flirting. Super cute, but not flirtatious, although there was a Chinese tourist and her not cute friend make eyes with while I finished the mojito. No way I was going to try to do Google translate on shitty Cuban cell phone data service in Chinese! In hindsight, the one girl's tits were popping out the top of her dress, so who knows, might've been a winner there!

On the way to that place, called El Bosquecito or something similar, I saw another place with a tout out front who said they had the best mojitos and that I should come back. I told him I was looking for some stuff and a person, but that I would return. He was surprised when I did. I get a drink, he starts grilling me as to why I don't have a pretty girl to hang out with and I said, I was looking for one I met online, but she had to go home. He asks if I like white or black girls, and I told them that as long as they're non-white, I'm down. He says, hold on. I have a friend who lives around the corner, let me go get her. Real pretty, great body, you'll like her.

He comes back, we have a snack, plus more food and she is very cute, small tits but an ass to absolutely die for and after a few drinks as she's walking by headed to the bathroom, I reach over and grab a handful of ass. She just gives a beaming smile and I knew it was going to be fun.

So, critical mistake: didn't confirm price ahead of time. That's ok. I was 4 deep in mojitos and 1 Cuba Libre, so I was pretty well gone.

Took a bicitaxi to my place, go upstairs, and she proceeds to get naked and shower. I rinse off as well, and we're in the bed. Great oral skills, and she's just about to fuck, when she says, "Preservativo?" I say, nope. She says, No? Me, nope. She's like ok, but that's another $20. I said, maybe, if it's good. How much is this anyway, she says $100. Goddamn it. Oh well.

She mounts up and has the smoothest, nicest, and beautifully naturally lubricated pussy I've been inside in a while. So that was awesome. Being tipsy was another benefit and we go at this for well over an hour and a half, until I finally tapped out because I was tired. Gave her the $120, she was super happy. Kept messaging me via WhatsApp to see if I wanted to repeat and I told her, maybe, but let me see how things workout. Walk her downstairs, she heads home and I head up to see what shaking on El Prado.

Girl #2 - walking el Prado with her friend $10 k Cuban Pesos, plus $2 k for a short time room in a small, clean hotel on Consulado street. About $35 USD total.

This girl and her friend see me and could spot a drunk-ass American opportunity a mile away. They sell me on their wares, but one of them, the smaller one, was JUST my type. I ask how much, they tell me, and I'm sold. They want to come to my place, but I said, no, I don't think that will go over well to have another girl or 2 come over so soon after the first one left. So they say, no problem, there's a place around the corner we can go to. Sure enough, small hotel, allows short time room rental, including a condom, for $2 k CUP. Awesome.

Whiskey dick in full force with this girl, but she was sooooo enthusiastic and persistent, that it went a good 40 minutes. I have to give her credit, she was maybe the most energetic of any of the girls on the trip. Since I was drunk, I didn't get her name or number. That was sad, because even though I nearly never repeat, I would like to see that one again.

Girls #3 Dirmelis (lots of Cuban girls have names that end in "elis" for some reason) and #4 Anabel. Also on el Prado - $30 USD each, plus another $20 tip each for staying over all night and sleeping with me.

These 2 see me on El Prado and also spot an opportunity. Both of them are my type. One a skinny black girl with an awesome afro, probably 24, great body, the other one looked super young, but was 19 on her Carnet / ID, so I went with it. Got to the room, we all shower, lots of oral sex between all of us. Both girls have super nice pussies and were actually very tasty. Older one took a shower, so she was just fresh tasty. The second one quickly showered, and so had a slightly sweaty tasty, either way super great.

The young one didn't like it when the older one was in the room. They asked if I was going to come, I said nope, saving it. They were like, WTF? Anyway, I talked them into staying over night and that was super pleasant. AC in my room was ice cold and so I snuggled with one naked body, my dick nestled in her ass crack, then moved to the young one, back and forth till 6 AM. At that point, I'm no longer drunk and was ready to fuck. Hit afro girl first, after going to town on her clit with tongue and fingers till she shook so hard she actually pushed me away. Got the condom on, made her ride me, then hit it from the back, while the young one was pretending to sleep. That ass slapping sound, no way she was sleeping. Either way, all good. 40 minutes or so, she tapped out because I fingered her clit from behind, that she shook again and almost fell over. She says, "No mas! Goes to shower.

I tell the younger one, you'd better get ready, because you're next. She uses the toilet, while the other one was showering and comes back. Puts the condom on and it was. Ok. She was obviously embarrassed a little with her friend close by, even with the friend moving to a chair in the hall after showering. So that made her nervous and that made her dry. She would NOT use my lube, even though it's water based astro-glide and pretty fucking amazing, in my opinion. Anyway, finally tell her to stop after I felt like it just wasn't working (friction = bad with no lube) and this was about 35 minutes in. I realize it's just not going to happen for me to come with these 2, so I send them on their way.

Interesting note here: The guy who's the security / cook / guest check-in, etc. Pulls me over when the 2 are leaving and point-blank tells me. Hey man, no more girls, ok? There's guests on the floor below you and I don't think they'll like it. I'm like, all good man, gave him a fist bump. I didn't ask ahead of time, my mistake, so yeah, no worries. I walk them out, go back to the room, sleep about 90 minutes to get my head right. Then walk out of the room to ask about the rooftop breakfast. All of a sudden he's all friendly, asking how I want my eggs, do I want coffee, etc. And I say yeah, on the rooftop, right / Yep.

Ok, go to the rooftop, he brings the fruit, bread / basically dinner rolls, coffee, and then later scrambled eggs with salchicha. Coffee was just stupid, stupid good. So good, I finished the entire Thermos of it, and almost asked for more.

As I'm finishing breakfast, he says, "Hey man, don't worry about the girls. You're good to go. I just wanted to make sure that you know to be careful with a lot of them because some are bandoleras. " Robbers. Ok, yeah. Look, I was hammered and neither of these girls took money from my shorts, from the safe (key was easily located), or anything else, so I do appreciate that advice and I'll be more careful. Much respect, thank you!

From there on out, he would just give me an eyebrow raise and a smile every time I brought a girl back. Super funny.

Girl #5 - China. Not my preference or normal selection, but good nonetheless- 38 yo MILF. Down by the museums near the harbor entrance, I am just wandering around, trying to walk off breakfast and my slight embarrassment at being identified as an obvious working girl aficionado, when I see a woman, MILF type, with just tig-o-bitties hanging out of her top, which is laced down from the top to about her belly button. Not at all my normal type, but she's got some cool sunglasses on, and I move to the side of the walkway she's on to get a better look. She's no slouch at gringo-hunting, so she notices, and comes right over to ask me where I'm from, what I'm doing, looking for, etc. And I say, well for now, I'm just trying to walk a bit, probably will stop for a drink and a snack and then I'll see where my afternoon leads me. She says she'll walk with me, gives me a nice kiss, and off we go.

Name is China, she's 38, has beautiful firm titties, like just really nice, and also a "dented from the side" mom-ass, which. Whatever. But she's an incredible shit talker. She asks me to take her back to my room, and I say, Oh heck no. Finally, we stop at la Cucana, same place I was on my way to meet the Badoo girl the prior afternoon, and we have a drink and some pretty amazing shrimp tostones. I go light on the drinks this time, with just a sangria (menu translates it as "bleeding". Nice). All throughout midday snack she's stroking my leg, my dick through my shorts, giving me eye fucking, etc. Finally she says, look up the street, I live just by the Capitolio why don't you come to my place and I'll give you a massage.

OK, sure. How much? $20 USD and if we fuck, it won't cost more. Interesting. Ok, let's go.

I get to her place, was not going to fuck, the place is in an old building that she and her family inherited from the grandmother who died last year, it has the corrugated metal roof, needs a lot of improvement, but seems totally functional. Bed is in a loft area up the steepest flight of stairs I've seen, and is. Unmade. Let's say that. Not dirty, necessarily, but definitely not hotel room level of cleanliness.

Anyway, those beautiful full lips of hers, I want to see them wrapped around my dick, so she gets to work and is absolutely terrible. Like the worst dick sucker I've probably ever been with. What a waste of spectacular lips. It makes zero sense. While she's blowing me, I finger fuck her her mainly to see if the pussy stinks (it does NOT, no small at all, super fresh) and discover she's tight as fuck. Goddamn it, now I'm horny when just 5 minutes ago, I was trying to think of how to get out of there as quickly as possible.

Put the condom on and she does a very good job of riding. I make her work for her $20 USD and take her to about 30 minutes. Downside is, no AC, upside 2 rotating fans. Of course, I don't finish because I'm just imagining what could be on that bed, on that dirty floor, in that room and yet shockingly I keep it up, even without a blue pill friend and the heat. But I just don't want to be there anymore, so I tell her, stop. I have to go.

Now, on the way in, she introduced me to her friend who is smoking hot, and she says, "I can send her to you, yeah?" I think and think and think, but the steam room conditions and general dirtiness make me think, no, not now. I'm good. We agree that she'll bring her friend to meet me at 6 PM in Parque Central where I can make a better in-person evaluation and decide if I want to fuck her or not. Ok, cool. She walks me down and as I'm leaving I get a look at her sister, beautiful 23 year old black girl with big tits like the older sister, but not 1/2 Chinese like China, and all of sudden, I'm thinking of staying. Then I think better of it, and leave.

Never did get her number, it rained monsoon style at 5 PM, so by 6 PM, even though the rain stopped, they were nowhere to be found when I walked the park 2-3 x. I wasn't surprised, and in a way happy I didn't have to go through the dilemma of getting the light skinned, brown haired friend or the smoking hot black girl body with what appeared to be perfect "stand up on their own" tits, no bra required.

Girl #6 - Yusi. So while I'm wandering Parque Central looking for China the MILF and her friend and sister that she wants to present to me, not finding them, I'm standing on the corner of Parque Central Hotel (Iberostar brand) near the entrance to El Prado and trying to figure out if that was the place the other ISG member said had good breakfast. If the security / manager guy changes his mind on letting me bring back girls, I'll change Airbnbs and then I'll need a place to eat and that seemed like a good option. Anyway, I'm looking at the thread to try to figure out if I'm in the right spot or not when this super slim, athletic looking girl, with a green top, ball cap and tight shorts riding up her ass, with the cheeks hanging out below walks by and gives a look. I double-take, she looks over her shoulder, smiles, but keeps walking. I was like, wait, what the fuck was that?

Another stroll through Parque Central, nothing to my liking, I'm right by La Floridita, when lo and behold here she comes walking back across the parking lot. Gives me a big smile, we exchange names and pleasantries and she says, "let's go to this bar and get one of Che Guevara's favorite cocktails" Yeah, ok, sounds amazing. We get there, it's a place where they give you a pen and you write your name on the wall and the country you're from. Now, I already know that she's going to get a commission for bringing me there, because the place was tiny and I would never have found it on my own. Called Vagabond or something. We get 1, 2 of the Che drinks, I buy 2 more for a guy there at the bar, and finally she's like, "let's go". Ok. On the street, she asks if we can go to my place and I'm still a little gun shy to take girls back, so I say, no, they don't allow guests. She tells me she lives with her parents on the next street, do I want to go there? Yeah, sure, why not, this will be interesting. Yep, definitely was. Get there, she introduces me to her mom, her dad, her grandma, and then we go to her room where we ass-slap fuck for 40 minutes. Jesus, what a life. Room was clean, she's one of the Santeria practitioners and has a lot of little statues, etc. In the room. No bother to me. She's tight, has great tits, excellent smile with beautiful teeth and she's just very much into riding me cowgirl, reverse cowgirl, etc. And I still don't finish. Not sure what the deal is, but still no cumshot yet.

No worries. She fucks for a good long time. I give her $60 USD for her troubles, she asks for $10 for "the mama" and I say, Ok, fine. $70 USD total to fuck this girl in her bedroom, with the parents just outside the door, like I'm back in high school. What a life, seriously.

Pretty happy with my day so far, would've been happy to call it a night and go home to sleep, but for some reason I just had permadick the whole time in Havana this trip. Like I COULD not stop wanting to fuck all the time.

First ran back to the room to shower and get ready to eat. I see a super cute, thin black girl at the little tienda right next door to my Airbnb, and I say out loud, "Goddamn!" She understands enough English that she comes over to say Hi, ask if she can come upstairs. The security guy is sitting next to me on the stoop and gives me the raised eyebrow and tilts his head in the direction of the stairs. I tell her I'm pretty much tapped out at the moment, but I'll message her later and we can see. Or maybe tomorrow. Name is Barbara, see below for her review.

Finally hungry, took a break to eat at Sibarita. Highly recommended on Tripadvisor. Not crowded and one of the best meals I've had period and for only $24.96 USD, plus a tip, it was just the absolute best.

Leave the restaurant to go walk El Prado and run across Anabel from the night before, #4, and she's chatty, wanting to walk with me, etc. I had been messaging with her off and on all day, and she really wanted to come with me again. Finally, after walking around, going by V&S (dead at 11 PM on a Friday), I say, "Look, you were not into it, I do not understand why you want to go again, apart from another $30 USD. " Not trying to be mean, but more like why should I waste my time?

She says, I'm sorry, I was weirded out with the other girl there, she's my "friend" from Prado, but not a true friend and the whole thing was very odd to me. I promise it'll be a lot better with just me there, and I'll treat you super great.

She is very cute, black girl, 19 years old, nice braids, spectacular smile and the tone of her voice is just so nice to listen to. I relent and say, Fuck it, let's go.

Yeah, the second time was a lot, lot better. Wet pussy for nearly an hour, still wouldn't let me use lube (still don't get that either) and she finally tells me I'm her second client ever and only the 3rd dude she's ever been with (boyfriend when she was younger, client #1 and me #2).

Now, I am not sure I believe her, but it was interesting because it tallied with her just general lack of demonstrated experience and hesitation to try different positions, lube, etc. After fucking for a good long time, I asked if I could eat her out again and her face lit up like the proverbial Christmas tree. She'd been messaging me all day that no one had ever eaten her pussy and she loved it so much she was hoping I would do it again.

Done. Ate that pussy for almost another hour, then we laid down and snuggled for another hour. I asked her stay the night, but she said she stays in Vedado with her aunt, and the aunt wasn't home, and she's worried about it getting broken into and shit stolen. Not sure I buy that either, but I walk her out, down to El Prado, then all the way down to just in front of Hotel Grand Packard, where I drop her off at the "gua-gua" bus stop. She tells me, don't stop for any other girls now, with a big smile. Yeah, already knows how I am!

Girl #7 - Noryelis or something like that - 18 and 3 months old. Checked her carnet. Yep, year 06, month 06, day 17. Motherfucker. Can't pass that up!

Start the long trek up El Prado, but don't really see anything to my liking. It's just after midnight and I'm at the very, very end where there's a break in the pavement for a lane, then I will turn left to head down San Juan de Dios to the Airbnb.

At this point, I'm super happy with my day, 3 sex sessions in the bag, after 4 the day prior, so yeah, all good, when I spot HOLY FUCKING SHIT one of the nicest bodies, cutest faces, and this girl has bright red lipstick which kinda covers up that she looks SUPER young. She whistles real softly and waves me over. Tell her I do not think she's over 18 and so I'll pass and she's like, I am, hold on and let me show you. Gets out her ID and yep, 18 years and just over 3 months old.

Ask how much, she says $30 USD, and then I tell her maybe I'll give her $40 USD if she's the first one to finally get the nut out of me after 2 days and 7 visitas of action. She's incredulous. Like, "no nut? How is that possible? I'mma get that leche! Challenge accepted.

Well, yeah, holy fucking shit. An 18 year old body, with spectacular tits, beautiful lips and the most perfect milk chocolate color, with straight hair and little silver stars in it, she rocked my world. I took her from 12:30 AM to just at 2:15 AM in my room (didn't care if the guy yelled at me or not, this girl was getting the treatment). Wet pussy, no need for lube, smelled perfect as she'd just gotten out of the shower before she came to Prado, prettiest pussy around, sucked cock with no condom like a 15 year veteran, and rode me like her life depended on it. Finally, she asks for doggie, I give it to her, then have her lie flat on the bed while I hit that perfect pussy with her ass staring up at me. She's watching me over her shoulder while she's swiveling her hips around and I finally can't take it anymore and bust the biggest nut since a girl in Medellin and the Dominicana back in Aruba.

Fuck me, an absolutely perfect end to a spectacular day. Walk her downstairs, watch that perfect ass flick back and forth as she walks up the hill and finally go to sleep.

Next day. Saturday - last full day as my flight leaves at 8:20 AM the next morning, so I have to be out of the Airbnb by 6 AM-ish.

Actually kind of worn out and my dick isn't as lively as it's been on Thursday or Friday, and I see during breakfast that my taxi guy Yandy messaged to say he's free all day and do I want to do a driving tour like I had mentioned when he picked me up at the airport. I think yeah, that sounds good. So I say yes, he asks when I say now. I love that he is SUPER punctual, says he'll be there in < 10 minutes, and yeah, was there in 9. Now that's how you run your own business!!

Nice drive around town, Cementerio Colon, Unversidad de Habana, Marina Hemingway (where they wouldn't let me take pictures, weird), Fusterlandia neighborhood near the marina with a lot of mosaic tile work on the buildings, walls, etc. And that was cool. He finally stops at Hotel Nacional, tells me it was the mob headquarters back in the 30's or something, and I should try the mojitos. Ok, done. Place is architecturally very cool. Went to the back of the hotel, plaza area, ordered a mojito, wandered the grounds, took pictures of the cannons, the buildings, the entry area, etc. And got another one. He finally texts me and is asking if I liked the mojitos maybe just a little too much! Yeah, perhaps, I was comatose relaxed!

Get back in the car, he runs me to the Morro, the Christ statue, and then it looks like a thunderstorm to end the world is coming, so I say, yeah, let's call it a day. Plus my dick is lively again, and Barbara, the girl from the bodega, was messaging me like crazy for her to come over.

I get back to the hotel and yeah, just as I'm getting out of the taxi, all hell breaks loose and it rains cats and proverbial dogs. I message her and say, yeah, you can come over, but it's raining cats and dogs. She says, "Eso tiene nada que ver, vivo super cerca". Pues ven, entonces.

Less than 5 minutes later Girl #8 - Barbara from the tienda shows up, I go downstairs, let her in, and wow. What a body. She's 24, basically the same body structure as the 18+3 month old girl, slightly smaller tits, but bigger nipples, which are just begging to be sucked.

Takes a thorough shower, lays down and just goes to work! Great blowjob, I eat her and finger her and rub that clit till she shakes and taps out. Then I make her get on and ride me. She goes to town and then asks me to give her missionary. Ok, done. Do that, move through a few other positions and finally she asks if I'm going to finish. The good thing about the Cubanas is they don't ask for leche till they've been working at it for well over 30 minutes. I hate the "leche, leche" shit that the Dominicanas put you through, so that makes me happy that the Cubanas don't start that at the 5 minute mark. Fucking hate that!

Anyway, I take her to the nearly 1 hour mark, and she's done. Can't take it anymore and wants me to come. I say, nope, want to do a few more girls. She cannot believe this, but finally realizes I'm serious. She asks if we can just cuddle with my dick inside her pussy and her laying on top. Sure thing! Then she does this thing when she tightens her Kegel muscles tightly around my dick and then I respond / reply by flexing the same muscle making my dick jump inside her. She really enjoys this and we got back and forth for about 15 minutes like this before she finally snoozes for a few minutes, then gets off, dressed and tells me to message her if I want her to come back later tonight. Maybe, I say, maybe. She was fun!

The whole rest of the day she's messaging me, telling me she loves what I did to her and wants to see if I can repeat it. I tell her, maybe, but I'll have to get back to her. Got a couple of others potentially on the line.

At this point, Melissa the girl from Badoo from Thursday has reappeared on WhatsApp and wants to come into town to see me. I tell her, ok, sure. I'll meet you at cucana, since you at least know where that is. Takes an hour for her to get there *after* I got there. No worries. She has an energy drink, I finish my mojito and have a cerveza while eyeballing her body to decide if I can get it up for her chunky ass. She's a good shit talker though and she's pretty, great attitude, so I say, fuck it. Let's go. Walk back to my place. She takes a long shower, and we get to fucking. Condom only, no kitty sucking, no titty sucking, wants me to massage her, just generally a pain in the ass, but a nice pain in the ass. Cute smile, pretty face. Whatever. I tell her, look, I want to fuck, so just fuck already. She makes it to 25 minutes before she too TAPS OUT. Then asks for $100 USD, I laugh, tell her $30 USD. She almost snorts her water, and says, how is that? I say that's the market price, especially if you're not going to last longer. And by the way how long do guys usually last? I ask this of all the girls. To a chica they said, most guys are 5-10 minutes.

Sarcastic, not serious rant starts now:

You quick cumming motherfuckers are ruining things for us who want to go longer!! Stop being such quick cumshots! Complaining about price paid, how about value? Pay a little more, but take them to the mat and get your damn money's worth! Ok enough sarcastic bitching. I'm joking, don't start up anything stupid. But seriously, last a little longer, get your money's worth.

Anyway, send her on her way and wander down the Prado to La Macorina to see if it's as good as when I went there in June. Interestingly, they have it setup like a speakeasy and have a 3 piece band playing nice music, with a beautiful black girl with a perfect Afro belting out the songs. Super good. Mojitos still great, still cheap although slightly more expensive than in June, and decided to get some boiled shrimp in a "spicy" red sauce. Yeah right, nothing is ever spicy here, even when it's named that. That said, the Morro rice was pretty damn great, and the shrimp were tasty and the food overall was good. 2 mojitos, tipped the singer (goddamnnnnnn she's hot!) and then wandered out and up el Prado.

For the first time this trip, nothing was good on el Prado. I was sad, but then another Badoo girl who had been actively engaged in really good conversation with me asked if I was finally ready to get together with her. Knowing now that all these girls live forever away, I ask, how far away are you? She already knows I mean minutes, she tells me, 50-60 minutes. Maybe less, but she wants to get ready, put on a nice dress, etc. And then come. I ask what she wants to do, she asks what do I want to do. I say I don't want to waste time, so I say, not to be a grosero, but I'd like to spend a good ratito with in the cama. She responds, "OK". I say fuck it, come on already. Gets there at 50 minutes, I don't see her coming down San Juan de Dios because I'm chatting with the security guy and buying him a beer, so she kinda sneaks up on me.

Goddamnnn. Yeah - looks exactly like her pictures, the very best lips on a dark skinned girl I've seen so far, and nearly all of them have been awesome, so that's saying something, and holy hell, she's smart! We go to a place called "Louvre" like the museum, sit on their rooftop. I get a mojito, she has a drink, doesn't really like it. Asks if she can get something to eat, I say sure. Gets some taco, not anywhere near as good as I had in Sibarita, but tolerable. Then she asks the waitress what's a good cocktail and says she'd like something sweet. Girl recommends Bailey's and as soon as I heard that, I was like, oh hell yeah, this girl is going to want to Fuck! She had already been kissing me for the whole hour plus we were there, great conversation, super personality, I'd actually go out with her just on a regular date. By now, 2 double Bailey's down, she's absolutely ready to fuck and we go to the room. Her in her crushed velvet dark red dress, pops her heels off and just lays under the covers. She waves me over, let's snuggle. Ok, sounds great. We make out, and I take the dress off. Tits are perfect, just like her lips. Suck them for a good 10 minutes, finger her pussy, she's all wet, and she reaches over and grabs me by the hips, since I'm laying perpendicular to her. Obviously she wants me to penetrate her, so I do. Bareback fucking is truly the best. She's wet, nicely tight, smooth as silk, and really into it. Hit her from every position, but she will NOT ride me. I couldn't figure that out, but it became clearer in the end.

As we're fucking, going through the positions, the inside of the top of her vaginal canal started opening up more and I could feel that I was going deeper and deeper. Probably 40 minutes in, maybe longer, I lost track, she flips me on my back and gets on top. I could feel the tip of my dick hitting her just perfectly in the G-spot area, with a very slight tapping on the top near her cervix. She's going wild, riding and riding harder and harder, grabbing my ass, my hips and just hammering on me, when the lightbulb went off and I was like, "She wants me to blast the nut in her!" Oh yeah, nut #2 out of 10 girls and it was nearly as big as with the 18 year old (plus 3 months), but all the way up in her. She is panting heavily and just smiling at me, jumps up, goes to the shower and calls out that that was great and she'd been needing a fucking like that.

I asked her what the standard time guys last in bed with her, you guessed it, 5-10 minutes. Ridiculous.


Ok, pulled out 3 x $20 USD and said, "Aqui tienes". She's happy with that, gives me a huge smile, get dressed and asks if I'll walk her up the hill since I have to drop the keys off to the other Airbnb I rented "just in case" the first one would've been serious about no more girls. Nice place, I had a credit, so it only cost me $9 USD to have that on standby. Closer to Prado, so it would've been perfect. Ended up not needing it.

Get to Prado, right in front of Hotel Telegrafo, when I hear "Max, Max", which is not my name, but this girl from June just cannot remember what my real name is, so every time she sees me, which has been daily to this point, she yells out Max and asks when I'm going to go with her. I tell her, you know I never repeat, at which point she asks the Badoo girl if I just went with her. Badoo girl laughs, thanks me, wishes me the best of luck and says, "probably would be best if you just went straight home" to which I reply, oh yes, I know, I will do exactly that after I drop the keys.

Walk to the other apartment on Consulado, lock the crazy girl and her 2 friends outside the front door, climb the 5 flights to the top floor, find the place, go inside, leave the keys on the counter. Exit. Head back downstairs and realize there are NO OTHER EXITS. Goddamn it, and not a GODDAMMMNNN expression like when I see the hot girls.

Walk out the front door and am immediately accosted. Tell them, no. I'm done, I'm at #10 in 3 days and I'm happy with that. My dick is dead, I have no leche and hardly any money with me. The first girl says, "well, you've been with me, and also with girl number 2, but you haven't been with the 3rd one". And also It's girl #2's birthday so I should go get a drink with them. Yeah, ok, I say, let's just go get a birthday drink and call it good.

Get to this little shithole bar, and even though they promised me it wasn't a commission place and the drinks were reasonable, they were not. Fine, get them all 2, me one, and I get up to pay the bill when girl I haven't been with yet pulls / pushes me to the bathroom, right next to our booth. Go inside, she locks the door, rips my shorts down and starts sucking my cock.

Goddamn, what a life.

She says, just $20 USD please, I'll chupi-chupi till you come. I tell her, yeah, go for it, I just shot a massive load less than an hour ago, you're probably not going to get anything out. She says she can do it, she sure of it. She sucks and sucks, pulls out those big titties of hers, I suck on them while she's jerking me, she pulls my hand to her pussy and it's wet as fuck. I play with her clit, then she turns around and bends over. "Fuck me!

Fuck me, I think. No more holding out now, I have to leave in 4 hours. The bathroom has a little bathtub in the end of it, so she grabs the edge, sticks her ass and pussy in the air and I fuck the living daylights out of her until I nut inside her. Only took me .10 minutes. Jesus. Apparently I'm a quick cumshot too, especially when I feel like I'm doing something I shouldn't be. The bar security guy hard eyeballed me when I walked into the bar with the 3 chicas, and we only snuck in when he went back outside for a few minutes. Now here I am, knowing he's out there, and I have to walk out. I send her first, then take 5 minutes or so to clean myself up and walk out. He just smiles.

I go to pay the bill and only then realize my mistake in giving her $30 USD instead of $20. I'm just under $15 USD short of the elevated, commission based tab at the bar, after giving the bartender the $30 USD I still had, plus about $8 in pesos. She would've let me slide with a deficit of less than $5 USD, but $15, she can't do it. Unbelievable.

I tell the bartender, I do not have it, but can walk to my room and get it. She says ok, but the security guy will walk with you. Turns out he's super cool, I give him a $20, tell him to keep the $5 and tell him I'm not going back with him. He just laughs and wishes me a safe flight home. Great guy.

And that was the end of my trip. 4 hours later, on the way to the airport, which now has functioning Air Conditioning! Woohooo!

Final tally:

Basically 3 full days, 3 nuts, 11 girls, 12 fuck sessions. My best Havana trip yet. If I can get a cheap flight, I'll definitely try for a repeat!

Lessons learned. Not be in a hurry to get fucking the chicas. I started very slow on Thursday, worked into a rhythm talking to the Badoo girls, street girls, just entering every day with zero expectations. Prior to the trip, I thought if I knock out 2 per day, 6 total, I'the be fine with that. Honestly, I'the be fine with 5. By letting each day just come to me, and not jumping on the first halfway hot girl I saw, things just flowed perfectly this trip.

Other lesson, don't get too drunk, it definitely hampers the memory making and just isn't as fun. After day 1, I stuck to about 4-5 drinks for the entire day, with 1 at lunch, 2 at dinner and maybe one more at night. With a lot of bottled water in between. Made the whole of days 2 and 3 much much better. Plus when I'm drunk I don't care what price the girls quote, I'm horny and just want to get the fucking underway.

Thanks for the hilarious and detailed report Nomars.

I'm surprised you could find the blue pill in Cuba. Has anyone else experienced the weird vision side effects of it?

As I have mentioned before, Havana is black girl aficionado heaven. But they also have light skinned girls with bright blue eyes.

I love that your idea of cutting back is 4-5 drinks LOL. You must be young.

I'm going to be contrarian here on the marathon sessions. When you stay for 2 or even 3 weeks, you got to pace yourself. Can't fuck all night and pop 4 times for 2 straight weeks, at least not if you are deep into middle age, blue pills or no.

Out of dinero and leche, LOL. Good stuff.


Super long post, apologies! But I swear the story is good!

Girl #1 - Fantastic! - Jaila 2324 years old - $120 USD for just under 2 hours of bareback sex in the room.

Arrived Thursday, 10/3, about 12:30 PM, checked into my Airbnb and immediately set out to meet a girl from Badoo. In so doing, I realized I forgot my "blue pills", so I was a little bummed. Unbelievably, while looking for this girl, down by Parque de las Palomas, I see a "Farmacia" on the corner, right nearby. I walk in, ask for Sildenafil. The super cute black girl is told by the other, much more flirtatious but definitely chunkier light completed manager to go look in the store room. She goes to the back, comes back with nothing. I'm even more bummed, but the manager says, "Hey, don't worry, let me call some people. " She calls 2 places, and says, yeah, I can get you a 10 50 MG pill blister pack for $10 USD. I'm thinking, well, I don't need 10, but ok, sure. She informs the person on the phone and 5-7 minutes later, in walks a woman with the pills! I look them over, they look authentic, and I'm a risk taker, so I go ahead and pay, thank them and go back to trying to locate the Badoo girl who only has internet when she has WiFi. She finally sends me her location, a little restaurant called La Cucana, but then texts back and says her baby has a fever and she has to run home.

Ok, well that sucks. In the meantime, I see a place that has 2 hot, hot waitresses, and so I sat down and got a mojito just to see how they respond to some flirting. Super cute, but not flirtatious, although there was a Chinese tourist and her not cute friend make eyes with while I finished the mojito. No way I was going to try to do Google translate on shitty Cuban cell phone data service in Chinese! In hindsight, the one girl's tits were popping out the top of her dress, so who knows, might've been a winner there!

On the way to that place, called El Bosquecito or something similar, I saw another place with a tout out front who said they had the best mojitos and that I should come back. I told him I was looking for some stuff and a person, but that I would return. He was surprised when I did. I get a drink, he starts grilling me as to why I don't have a pretty girl to hang out with and I said, I was looking for one I met online, but she had to go home. He asks if I like white or black girls, and I told them that as long as they're non-white, I'm down. He says, hold on. I have a friend who lives around the corner, let me go get her. Real pretty, great body, you'll like her.

He comes back, we have a snack, plus more food and she is very cute, small tits but an ass to absolutely die for and after a few drinks as she's walking by headed to the bathroom, I reach over and grab a handful of ass. She just gives a beaming smile and I knew it was going to be fun.

So, critical mistake: didn't confirm price ahead of time. That's ok. I was 4 deep in mojitos and 1 Cuba Libre, so I was pretty well gone.

Took a bicitaxi to my place, go upstairs, and she proceeds to get naked and shower. I rinse off as well, and we're in the bed. Great oral skills, and she's just about to fuck, when she says, "Preservativo?" I say, nope. She says, No? Me, nope. She's like ok, but that's another $20. I said, maybe, if it's good. How much is this anyway, she says $100. Goddamn it. Oh well.

She mounts up and has the smoothest, nicest, and beautifully naturally lubricated pussy I've been inside in a while. So that was awesome. Being tipsy was another benefit and we go at this for well over an hour and a half, until I finally tapped out because I was tired. Gave her the $120, she was super happy. Kept messaging me via WhatsApp to see if I wanted to repeat and I told her, maybe, but let me see how things workout. Walk her downstairs, she heads home and I head up to see what shaking on El Prado.

Girl #2 - walking el Prado with her friend $10 k Cuban Pesos, plus $2 k for a short time room in a small, clean hotel on Consulado street. About $35 USD total.

This girl and her friend see me and could spot a drunk-ass American opportunity a mile away. They sell me on their wares, but one of them, the smaller one, was JUST my type. I ask how much, they tell me, and I'm sold. They want to come to my place, but I said, no, I don't think that will go over well to have another girl or 2 come over so soon after the first one left. So they say, no problem, there's a place around the corner we can go to. Sure enough, small hotel, allows short time room rental, including a condom, for $2 k CUP. Awesome.

Whiskey dick in full force with this girl, but she was sooooo enthusiastic and persistent, that it went a good 40 minutes. I have to give her credit, she was maybe the most energetic of any of the girls on the trip. Since I was drunk, I didn't get her name or number. That was sad, because even though I nearly never repeat, I would like to see that one again.

Girls #3 Dirmelis (lots of Cuban girls have names that end in "elis" for some reason) and #4 Anabel. Also on el Prado - $30 USD each, plus another $20 tip each for staying over all night and sleeping with me.

These 2 see me on El Prado and also spot an opportunity. Both of them are my type. One a skinny black girl with an awesome afro, probably 24, great body, the other one looked super young, but was 19 on her Carnet / ID, so I went with it. Got to the room, we all shower, lots of oral sex between all of us. Both girls have super nice pussies and were actually very tasty. Older one took a shower, so she was just fresh tasty. The second one quickly showered, and so had a slightly sweaty tasty, either way super great.

The young one didn't like it when the older one was in the room. They asked if I was going to come, I said nope, saving it. They were like, WTF? Anyway, I talked them into staying over night and that was super pleasant. AC in my room was ice cold and so I snuggled with one naked body, my dick nestled in her ass crack, then moved to the young one, back and forth till 6 AM. At that point, I'm no longer drunk and was ready to fuck. Hit afro girl first, after going to town on her clit with tongue and fingers till she shook so hard she actually pushed me away. Got the condom on, made her ride me, then hit it from the back, while the young one was pretending to sleep. That ass slapping sound, no way she was sleeping. Either way, all good. 40 minutes or so, she tapped out because I fingered her clit from behind, that she shook again and almost fell over. She says, "No mas! Goes to shower.

I tell the younger one, you'd better get ready, because you're next. She uses the toilet, while the other one was showering and comes back. Puts the condom on and it was. Ok. She was obviously embarrassed a little with her friend close by, even with the friend moving to a chair in the hall after showering. So that made her nervous and that made her dry. She would NOT use my lube, even though it's water based astro-glide and pretty fucking amazing, in my opinion. Anyway, finally tell her to stop after I felt like it just wasn't working (friction = bad with no lube) and this was about 35 minutes in. I realize it's just not going to happen for me to come with these 2, so I send them on their way.

Interesting note here: The guy who's the security / cook / guest check-in, etc. Pulls me over when the 2 are leaving and point-blank tells me. Hey man, no more girls, ok? There's guests on the floor below you and I don't think they'll like it. I'm like, all good man, gave him a fist bump. I didn't ask ahead of time, my mistake, so yeah, no worries. I walk them out, go back to the room, sleep about 90 minutes to get my head right. Then walk out of the room to ask about the rooftop breakfast. All of a sudden he's all friendly, asking how I want my eggs, do I want coffee, etc. And I say yeah, on the rooftop, right / Yep.

Ok, go to the rooftop, he brings the fruit, bread / basically dinner rolls, coffee, and then later scrambled eggs with salchicha. Coffee was just stupid, stupid good. So good, I finished the entire Thermos of it, and almost asked for more.

As I'm finishing breakfast, he says, "Hey man, don't worry about the girls. You're good to go. I just wanted to make sure that you know to be careful with a lot of them because some are bandoleras. " Robbers. Ok, yeah. Look, I was hammered and neither of these girls took money from my shorts, from the safe (key was easily located), or anything else, so I do appreciate that advice and I'll be more careful. Much respect, thank you!

From there on out, he would just give me an eyebrow raise and a smile every time I brought a girl back. Super funny.

Girl #5 - China. Not my preference or normal selection, but good nonetheless- 38 yo MILF. Down by the museums near the harbor entrance, I am just wandering around, trying to walk off breakfast and my slight embarrassment at being identified as an obvious working girl aficionado, when I see a woman, MILF type, with just tig-o-bitties hanging out of her top, which is laced down from the top to about her belly button. Not at all my normal type, but she's got some cool sunglasses on, and I move to the side of the walkway she's on to get a better look. She's no slouch at gringo-hunting, so she notices, and comes right over to ask me where I'm from, what I'm doing, looking for, etc. And I say, well for now, I'm just trying to walk a bit, probably will stop for a drink and a snack and then I'll see where my afternoon leads me. She says she'll walk with me, gives me a nice kiss, and off we go.

Name is China, she's 38, has beautiful firm titties, like just really nice, and also a "dented from the side" mom-ass, which. Whatever. But she's an incredible shit talker. She asks me to take her back to my room, and I say, Oh heck no. Finally, we stop at la Cucana, same place I was on my way to meet the Badoo girl the prior afternoon, and we have a drink and some pretty amazing shrimp tostones. I go light on the drinks this time, with just a sangria (menu translates it as "bleeding". Nice). All throughout midday snack she's stroking my leg, my dick through my shorts, giving me eye fucking, etc. Finally she says, look up the street, I live just by the Capitolio why don't you come to my place and I'll give you a massage.

OK, sure. How much? $20 USD and if we fuck, it won't cost more. Interesting. Ok, let's go.

I get to her place, was not going to fuck, the place is in an old building that she and her family inherited from the grandmother who died last year, it has the corrugated metal roof, needs a lot of improvement, but seems totally functional. Bed is in a loft area up the steepest flight of stairs I've seen, and is. Unmade. Let's say that. Not dirty, necessarily, but definitely not hotel room level of cleanliness.

Anyway, those beautiful full lips of hers, I want to see them wrapped around my dick, so she gets to work and is absolutely terrible. Like the worst dick sucker I've probably ever been with. What a waste of spectacular lips. It makes zero sense. While she's blowing me, I finger fuck her her mainly to see if the pussy stinks (it does NOT, no small at all, super fresh) and discover she's tight as fuck. Goddamn it, now I'm horny when just 5 minutes ago, I was trying to think of how to get out of there as quickly as possible.

Put the condom on and she does a very good job of riding. I make her work for her $20 USD and take her to about 30 minutes. Downside is, no AC, upside 2 rotating fans. Of course, I don't finish because I'm just imagining what could be on that bed, on that dirty floor, in that room and yet shockingly I keep it up, even without a blue pill friend and the heat. But I just don't want to be there anymore, so I tell her, stop. I have to go.

Now, on the way in, she introduced me to her friend who is smoking hot, and she says, "I can send her to you, yeah?" I think and think and think, but the steam room conditions and general dirtiness make me think, no, not now. I'm good. We agree that she'll bring her friend to meet me at 6 PM in Parque Central where I can make a better in-person evaluation and decide if I want to fuck her or not. Ok, cool. She walks me down and as I'm leaving I get a look at her sister, beautiful 23 year old black girl with big tits like the older sister, but not 1/2 Chinese like China, and all of sudden, I'm thinking of staying. Then I think better of it, and leave.

Never did get her number, it rained monsoon style at 5 PM, so by 6 PM, even though the rain stopped, they were nowhere to be found when I walked the park 2-3 x. I wasn't surprised, and in a way happy I didn't have to go through the dilemma of getting the light skinned, brown haired friend or the smoking hot black girl body with what appeared to be perfect "stand up on their own" tits, no bra required.

Girl #6 - Yusi. So while I'm wandering Parque Central looking for China the MILF and her friend and sister that she wants to present to me, not finding them, I'm standing on the corner of Parque Central Hotel (Iberostar brand) near the entrance to El Prado and trying to figure out if that was the place the other ISG member said had good breakfast. If the security / manager guy changes his mind on letting me bring back girls, I'll change Airbnbs and then I'll need a place to eat and that seemed like a good option. Anyway, I'm looking at the thread to try to figure out if I'm in the right spot or not when this super slim, athletic looking girl, with a green top, ball cap and tight shorts riding up her ass, with the cheeks hanging out below walks by and gives a look. I double-take, she looks over her shoulder, smiles, but keeps walking. I was like, wait, what the fuck was that?

Another stroll through Parque Central, nothing to my liking, I'm right by La Floridita, when lo and behold here she comes walking back across the parking lot. Gives me a big smile, we exchange names and pleasantries and she says, "let's go to this bar and get one of Che Guevara's favorite cocktails" Yeah, ok, sounds amazing. We get there, it's a place where they give you a pen and you write your name on the wall and the country you're from. Now, I already know that she's going to get a commission for bringing me there, because the place was tiny and I would never have found it on my own. Called Vagabond or something. We get 1, 2 of the Che drinks, I buy 2 more for a guy there at the bar, and finally she's like, "let's go". Ok. On the street, she asks if we can go to my place and I'm still a little gun shy to take girls back, so I say, no, they don't allow guests. She tells me she lives with her parents on the next street, do I want to go there? Yeah, sure, why not, this will be interesting. Yep, definitely was. Get there, she introduces me to her mom, her dad, her grandma, and then we go to her room where we ass-slap fuck for 40 minutes. Jesus, what a life. Room was clean, she's one of the Santeria practitioners and has a lot of little statues, etc. In the room. No bother to me. She's tight, has great tits, excellent smile with beautiful teeth and she's just very much into riding me cowgirl, reverse cowgirl, etc. And I still don't finish. Not sure what the deal is, but still no cumshot yet.

No worries. She fucks for a good long time. I give her $60 USD for her troubles, she asks for $10 for "the mama" and I say, Ok, fine. $70 USD total to fuck this girl in her bedroom, with the parents just outside the door, like I'm back in high school. What a life, seriously.

Pretty happy with my day so far, would've been happy to call it a night and go home to sleep, but for some reason I just had permadick the whole time in Havana this trip. Like I COULD not stop wanting to fuck all the time.

First ran back to the room to shower and get ready to eat. I see a super cute, thin black girl at the little tienda right next door to my Airbnb, and I say out loud, "Goddamn!" She understands enough English that she comes over to say Hi, ask if she can come upstairs. The security guy is sitting next to me on the stoop and gives me the raised eyebrow and tilts his head in the direction of the stairs. I tell her I'm pretty much tapped out at the moment, but I'll message her later and we can see. Or maybe tomorrow. Name is Barbara, see below for her review.

Finally hungry, took a break to eat at Sibarita. Highly recommended on Tripadvisor. Not crowded and one of the best meals I've had period and for only $24.96 USD, plus a tip, it was just the absolute best.

Leave the restaurant to go walk El Prado and run across Anabel from the night before, #4, and she's chatty, wanting to walk with me, etc. I had been messaging with her off and on all day, and she really wanted to come with me again. Finally, after walking around, going by V&S (dead at 11 PM on a Friday), I say, "Look, you were not into it, I do not understand why you want to go again, apart from another $30 USD. " Not trying to be mean, but more like why should I waste my time?

She says, I'm sorry, I was weirded out with the other girl there, she's my "friend" from Prado, but not a true friend and the whole thing was very odd to me. I promise it'll be a lot better with just me there, and I'll treat you super great.

She is very cute, black girl, 19 years old, nice braids, spectacular smile and the tone of her voice is just so nice to listen to. I relent and say, Fuck it, let's go.

Yeah, the second time was a lot, lot better. Wet pussy for nearly an hour, still wouldn't let me use lube (still don't get that either) and she finally tells me I'm her second client ever and only the 3rd dude she's ever been with (boyfriend when she was younger, client #1 and me #2).

Now, I am not sure I believe her, but it was interesting because it tallied with her just general lack of demonstrated experience and hesitation to try different positions, lube, etc. After fucking for a good long time, I asked if I could eat her out again and her face lit up like the proverbial Christmas tree. She'd been messaging me all day that no one had ever eaten her pussy and she loved it so much she was hoping I would do it again.

Done. Ate that pussy for almost another hour, then we laid down and snuggled for another hour. I asked her stay the night, but she said she stays in Vedado with her aunt, and the aunt wasn't home, and she's worried about it getting broken into and shit stolen. Not sure I buy that either, but I walk her out, down to El Prado, then all the way down to just in front of Hotel Grand Packard, where I drop her off at the "gua-gua" bus stop. She tells me, don't stop for any other girls now, with a big smile. Yeah, already knows how I am!

Girl #7 - Noryelis or something like that - 18 and 3 months old. Checked her carnet. Yep, year 06, month 06, day 17. Motherfucker. Can't pass that up!

Start the long trek up El Prado, but don't really see anything to my liking. It's just after midnight and I'm at the very, very end where there's a break in the pavement for a lane, then I will turn left to head down San Juan de Dios to the Airbnb.

At this point, I'm super happy with my day, 3 sex sessions in the bag, after 4 the day prior, so yeah, all good, when I spot HOLY FUCKING SHIT one of the nicest bodies, cutest faces, and this girl has bright red lipstick which kinda covers up that she looks SUPER young. She whistles real softly and waves me over. Tell her I do not think she's over 18 and so I'll pass and she's like, I am, hold on and let me show you. Gets out her ID and yep, 18 years and just over 3 months old.

Ask how much, she says $30 USD, and then I tell her maybe I'll give her $40 USD if she's the first one to finally get the nut out of me after 2 days and 7 visitas of action. She's incredulous. Like, "no nut? How is that possible? I'mma get that leche! Challenge accepted.

Well, yeah, holy fucking shit. An 18 year old body, with spectacular tits, beautiful lips and the most perfect milk chocolate color, with straight hair and little silver stars in it, she rocked my world. I took her from 12:30 AM to just at 2:15 AM in my room (didn't care if the guy yelled at me or not, this girl was getting the treatment). Wet pussy, no need for lube, smelled perfect as she'd just gotten out of the shower before she came to Prado, prettiest pussy around, sucked cock with no condom like a 15 year veteran, and rode me like her life depended on it. Finally, she asks for doggie, I give it to her, then have her lie flat on the bed while I hit that perfect pussy with her ass staring up at me. She's watching me over her shoulder while she's swiveling her hips around and I finally can't take it anymore and bust the biggest nut since a girl in Medellin and the Dominicana back in Aruba.

Fuck me, an absolutely perfect end to a spectacular day. Walk her downstairs, watch that perfect ass flick back and forth as she walks up the hill and finally go to sleep.

Next day. Saturday - last full day as my flight leaves at 8:20 AM the next morning, so I have to be out of the Airbnb by 6 AM-ish.

Actually kind of worn out and my dick isn't as lively as it's been on Thursday or Friday, and I see during breakfast that my taxi guy Yandy messaged to say he's free all day and do I want to do a driving tour like I had mentioned when he picked me up at the airport. I think yeah, that sounds good. So I say yes, he asks when I say now. I love that he is SUPER punctual, says he'll be there in < 10 minutes, and yeah, was there in 9. Now that's how you run your own business!!

Nice drive around town, Cementerio Colon, Unversidad de Habana, Marina Hemingway (where they wouldn't let me take pictures, weird), Fusterlandia neighborhood near the marina with a lot of mosaic tile work on the buildings, walls, etc. And that was cool. He finally stops at Hotel Nacional, tells me it was the mob headquarters back in the 30's or something, and I should try the mojitos. Ok, done. Place is architecturally very cool. Went to the back of the hotel, plaza area, ordered a mojito, wandered the grounds, took pictures of the cannons, the buildings, the entry area, etc. And got another one. He finally texts me and is asking if I liked the mojitos maybe just a little too much! Yeah, perhaps, I was comatose relaxed!

Get back in the car, he runs me to the Morro, the Christ statue, and then it looks like a thunderstorm to end the world is coming, so I say, yeah, let's call it a day. Plus my dick is lively again, and Barbara, the girl from the bodega, was messaging me like crazy for her to come over.

I get back to the hotel and yeah, just as I'm getting out of the taxi, all hell breaks loose and it rains cats and proverbial dogs. I message her and say, yeah, you can come over, but it's raining cats and dogs. She says, "Eso tiene nada que ver, vivo super cerca". Pues ven, entonces.

Less than 5 minutes later Girl #8 - Barbara from the tienda shows up, I go downstairs, let her in, and wow. What a body. She's 24, basically the same body structure as the 18+3 month old girl, slightly smaller tits, but bigger nipples, which are just begging to be sucked.

Takes a thorough shower, lays down and just goes to work! Great blowjob, I eat her and finger her and rub that clit till she shakes and taps out. Then I make her get on and ride me. She goes to town and then asks me to give her missionary. Ok, done. Do that, move through a few other positions and finally she asks if I'm going to finish. The good thing about the Cubanas is they don't ask for leche till they've been working at it for well over 30 minutes. I hate the "leche, leche" shit that the Dominicanas put you through, so that makes me happy that the Cubanas don't start that at the 5 minute mark. Fucking hate that!

Anyway, I take her to the nearly 1 hour mark, and she's done. Can't take it anymore and wants me to come. I say, nope, want to do a few more girls. She cannot believe this, but finally realizes I'm serious. She asks if we can just cuddle with my dick inside her pussy and her laying on top. Sure thing! Then she does this thing when she tightens her Kegel muscles tightly around my dick and then I respond / reply by flexing the same muscle making my dick jump inside her. She really enjoys this and we got back and forth for about 15 minutes like this before she finally snoozes for a few minutes, then gets off, dressed and tells me to message her if I want her to come back later tonight. Maybe, I say, maybe. She was fun!

The whole rest of the day she's messaging me, telling me she loves what I did to her and wants to see if I can repeat it. I tell her, maybe, but I'll have to get back to her. Got a couple of others potentially on the line.

At this point, Melissa the girl from Badoo from Thursday has reappeared on WhatsApp and wants to come into town to see me. I tell her, ok, sure. I'll meet you at cucana, since you at least know where that is. Takes an hour for her to get there *after* I got there. No worries. She has an energy drink, I finish my mojito and have a cerveza while eyeballing her body to decide if I can get it up for her chunky ass. She's a good shit talker though and she's pretty, great attitude, so I say, fuck it. Let's go. Walk back to my place. She takes a long shower, and we get to fucking. Condom only, no kitty sucking, no titty sucking, wants me to massage her, just generally a pain in the ass, but a nice pain in the ass. Cute smile, pretty face. Whatever. I tell her, look, I want to fuck, so just fuck already. She makes it to 25 minutes before she too TAPS OUT. Then asks for $100 USD, I laugh, tell her $30 USD. She almost snorts her water, and says, how is that? I say that's the market price, especially if you're not going to last longer. And by the way how long do guys usually last? I ask this of all the girls. To a chica they said, most guys are 5-10 minutes.

Sarcastic, not serious rant starts now:

You quick cumming motherfuckers are ruining things for us who want to go longer!! Stop being such quick cumshots! Complaining about price paid, how about value? Pay a little more, but take them to the mat and get your damn money's worth! Ok enough sarcastic bitching. I'm joking, don't start up anything stupid. But seriously, last a little longer, get your money's worth.

Anyway, send her on her way and wander down the Prado to La Macorina to see if it's as good as when I went there in June. Interestingly, they have it setup like a speakeasy and have a 3 piece band playing nice music, with a beautiful black girl with a perfect Afro belting out the songs. Super good. Mojitos still great, still cheap although slightly more expensive than in June, and decided to get some boiled shrimp in a "spicy" red sauce. Yeah right, nothing is ever spicy here, even when it's named that. That said, the Morro rice was pretty damn great, and the shrimp were tasty and the food overall was good. 2 mojitos, tipped the singer (goddamnnnnnn she's hot!) and then wandered out and up el Prado.

For the first time this trip, nothing was good on el Prado. I was sad, but then another Badoo girl who had been actively engaged in really good conversation with me asked if I was finally ready to get together with her. Knowing now that all these girls live forever away, I ask, how far away are you? She already knows I mean minutes, she tells me, 50-60 minutes. Maybe less, but she wants to get ready, put on a nice dress, etc. And then come. I ask what she wants to do, she asks what do I want to do. I say I don't want to waste time, so I say, not to be a grosero, but I'd like to spend a good ratito with in the cama. She responds, "OK". I say fuck it, come on already. Gets there at 50 minutes, I don't see her coming down San Juan de Dios because I'm chatting with the security guy and buying him a beer, so she kinda sneaks up on me.

Goddamnnn. Yeah - looks exactly like her pictures, the very best lips on a dark skinned girl I've seen so far, and nearly all of them have been awesome, so that's saying something, and holy hell, she's smart! We go to a place called "Louvre" like the museum, sit on their rooftop. I get a mojito, she has a drink, doesn't really like it. Asks if she can get something to eat, I say sure. Gets some taco, not anywhere near as good as I had in Sibarita, but tolerable. Then she asks the waitress what's a good cocktail and says she'd like something sweet. Girl recommends Bailey's and as soon as I heard that, I was like, oh hell yeah, this girl is going to want to Fuck! She had already been kissing me for the whole hour plus we were there, great conversation, super personality, I'd actually go out with her just on a regular date. By now, 2 double Bailey's down, she's absolutely ready to fuck and we go to the room. Her in her crushed velvet dark red dress, pops her heels off and just lays under the covers. She waves me over, let's snuggle. Ok, sounds great. We make out, and I take the dress off. Tits are perfect, just like her lips. Suck them for a good 10 minutes, finger her pussy, she's all wet, and she reaches over and grabs me by the hips, since I'm laying perpendicular to her. Obviously she wants me to penetrate her, so I do. Bareback fucking is truly the best. She's wet, nicely tight, smooth as silk, and really into it. Hit her from every position, but she will NOT ride me. I couldn't figure that out, but it became clearer in the end.

As we're fucking, going through the positions, the inside of the top of her vaginal canal started opening up more and I could feel that I was going deeper and deeper. Probably 40 minutes in, maybe longer, I lost track, she flips me on my back and gets on top. I could feel the tip of my dick hitting her just perfectly in the G-spot area, with a very slight tapping on the top near her cervix. She's going wild, riding and riding harder and harder, grabbing my ass, my hips and just hammering on me, when the lightbulb went off and I was like, "She wants me to blast the nut in her!" Oh yeah, nut #2 out of 10 girls and it was nearly as big as with the 18 year old (plus 3 months), but all the way up in her. She is panting heavily and just smiling at me, jumps up, goes to the shower and calls out that that was great and she'd been needing a fucking like that.

I asked her what the standard time guys last in bed with her, you guessed it, 5-10 minutes. Ridiculous.


Ok, pulled out 3 x $20 USD and said, "Aqui tienes". She's happy with that, gives me a huge smile, get dressed and asks if I'll walk her up the hill since I have to drop the keys off to the other Airbnb I rented "just in case" the first one would've been serious about no more girls. Nice place, I had a credit, so it only cost me $9 USD to have that on standby. Closer to Prado, so it would've been perfect. Ended up not needing it.

Get to Prado, right in front of Hotel Telegrafo, when I hear "Max, Max", which is not my name, but this girl from June just cannot remember what my real name is, so every time she sees me, which has been daily to this point, she yells out Max and asks when I'm going to go with her. I tell her, you know I never repeat, at which point she asks the Badoo girl if I just went with her. Badoo girl laughs, thanks me, wishes me the best of luck and says, "probably would be best if you just went straight home" to which I reply, oh yes, I know, I will do exactly that after I drop the keys.

Walk to the other apartment on Consulado, lock the crazy girl and her 2 friends outside the front door, climb the 5 flights to the top floor, find the place, go inside, leave the keys on the counter. Exit. Head back downstairs and realize there are NO OTHER EXITS. Goddamn it, and not a GODDAMMMNNN expression like when I see the hot girls.

Walk out the front door and am immediately accosted. Tell them, no. I'm done, I'm at #10 in 3 days and I'm happy with that. My dick is dead, I have no leche and hardly any money with me. The first girl says, "well, you've been with me, and also with girl number 2, but you haven't been with the 3rd one". And also It's girl #2's birthday so I should go get a drink with them. Yeah, ok, I say, let's just go get a birthday drink and call it good.

Get to this little shithole bar, and even though they promised me it wasn't a commission place and the drinks were reasonable, they were not. Fine, get them all 2, me one, and I get up to pay the bill when girl I haven't been with yet pulls / pushes me to the bathroom, right next to our booth. Go inside, she locks the door, rips my shorts down and starts sucking my cock.

Goddamn, what a life.

She says, just $20 USD please, I'll chupi-chupi till you come. I tell her, yeah, go for it, I just shot a massive load less than an hour ago, you're probably not going to get anything out. She says she can do it, she sure of it. She sucks and sucks, pulls out those big titties of hers, I suck on them while she's jerking me, she pulls my hand to her pussy and it's wet as fuck. I play with her clit, then she turns around and bends over. "Fuck me!

Fuck me, I think. No more holding out now, I have to leave in 4 hours. The bathroom has a little bathtub in the end of it, so she grabs the edge, sticks her ass and pussy in the air and I fuck the living daylights out of her until I nut inside her. Only took me .10 minutes. Jesus. Apparently I'm a quick cumshot too, especially when I feel like I'm doing something I shouldn't be. The bar security guy hard eyeballed me when I walked into the bar with the 3 chicas, and we only snuck in when he went back outside for a few minutes. Now here I am, knowing he's out there, and I have to walk out. I send her first, then take 5 minutes or so to clean myself up and walk out. He just smiles.

I go to pay the bill and only then realize my mistake in giving her $30 USD instead of $20. I'm just under $15 USD short of the elevated, commission based tab at the bar, after giving the bartender the $30 USD I still had, plus about $8 in pesos. She would've let me slide with a deficit of less than $5 USD, but $15, she can't do it. Unbelievable.

I tell the bartender, I do not have it, but can walk to my room and get it. She says ok, but the security guy will walk with you. Turns out he's super cool, I give him a $20, tell him to keep the $5 and tell him I'm not going back with him. He just laughs and wishes me a safe flight home. Great guy.

And that was the end of my trip. 4 hours later, on the way to the airport, which now has functioning Air Conditioning! Woohooo!

Final tally:

Basically 3 full days, 3 nuts, 11 girls, 12 fuck sessions. My best Havana trip yet. If I can get a cheap flight, I'll definitely try for a repeat!

Lessons learned. Not be in a hurry to get fucking the chicas. I started very slow on Thursday, worked into a rhythm talking to the Badoo girls, street girls, just entering every day with zero expectations. Prior to the trip, I thought if I knock out 2 per day, 6 total, I'the be fine with that. Honestly, I'the be fine with 5. By letting each day just come to me, and not jumping on the first halfway hot girl I saw, things just flowed perfectly this trip.

Other lesson, don't get too drunk, it definitely hampers the memory making and just isn't as fun. After day 1, I stuck to about 4-5 drinks for the entire day, with 1 at lunch, 2 at dinner and maybe one more at night. With a lot of bottled water in between. Made the whole of days 2 and 3 much much better. Plus when I'm drunk I don't care what price the girls quote, I'm horny and just want to get the fucking underway.

Super long post, apologies! But I swear the story is good!
.If ever there were a report of distinction this was it. Well done. Enjoyed it with my morning coffee and it was a way better read than Wall Street journal today.

Apologies I'm one of those guys that ruins it with quick nuts. I'm middle aged and can bust 4-5 times in 24 hours if I'm excited. But my downside is I rarely go more than 10 minutes. My first nut, the super excited one with a new chick, can be like 2 minutes and I can't hold it. Reality is we probably get the same amount of banging time but mine is more spread out. Never realized I was ruining it for anyone else. I don't like that I can't hold it. Usually after the first bust with a new girl I'm like sorry I'm really excited by you. Which is true.

Anyways great report. Thanks for writing it.

[Nomars777]

But it was from a lab called MedSol, pill pack says Sildenafilo, so it's some sort of generic. Actually fewer side effects with this one than my generic here in the states.

Not young, an in-shape 55, but I tell you what, when I'm on vacation, I like to have a mojito. And I've had some spectacular ones in Cali and Medellin Colombia, also in Aruba, but man, the very best mojitos ever are in Havana. Since I like them, I like to try them at new places to see if I can find the best one, and so far, they're all about as good as each other.

100% agree on long sessions over a long trip, that would be very difficult. I knew I basically had 2 full days and my arrival day of probably 10 hours or so free, so I wanted to maximize that with "penetration time".

I don't think I could pop 4 times a day over 2 weeks, even back in my 20's, although I would definitely have loved that challenge!


Thanks for the hilarious and detailed report Nomars.

I'm surprised you could find the blue pill in Cuba. Has anyone else experienced the weird vision side effects of it?

As I have mentioned before, Havana is black girl aficionado heaven. But they also have light skinned girls with bright blue eyes.

I love that your idea of cutting back is 4-5 drinks LOL. You must be young.

I'm going to be contrarian here on the marathon sessions. When you stay for 2 or even 3 weeks, you got to pace yourself. Can't fuck all night and pop 4 times for 2 straight weeks, at least not if you are deep into middle age, blue pills or no.

Out of dinero and leche, LOL. Good stuff.

[Nomars777]

Honestly, I don't think the guys who come in 5-10 minutes are ruining anything, I was mostly joking.

What I do think it has done, at least with some of the girls, is that it's conditioned them to think they're going to get their $20-30-50-100 USD for just 15-20 minutes of "work". That was definitely true of the chunkier girl from Badoo. She seriously thought she was going to collect $100 USD for 15-20 minutes of time in the sack with me. Uh, no sweetie, that's not happening!

Of the ones I was with last week, several told me that they were just not accustomed to going well over 30 minutes. Like that just does not happen for them usually. The truth is, most of them are pleasantly surprised to be taken to the mat and given a good workout.

Mostly I was trying to do a compare / contrast for those who complain that guys who spend $40-50 USD are somehow overpaying and ruining the market price for those who want to pay $25 USD. The truth is the value is in the wallet of the spender.

In trying to determine value I calculated an hourly rate to make it easier to compare. I was getting between 1. 5 to 2 hours for my average cost this trip of $52 USD per chica. That's completely reasonable, in my opinion, and even tallies with the cheapest you can get in Bogota or Medellin centro. In Santa Fe Bogota, it's about $15 USD (50 k = $12.50 USD, then the room cost) for "short time", meaning 15 to 20 minutes (tops) in the sack upstairs with the chica. Multiply that by 3 or 4 and you're looking at $45-60 USD per hour in the cheapest places in Colombia with comparably hot chicas.

Now, contrast that with Habana this trip, it's just as good or better. Taking my average of $52, divided by 1. 5 hours, you're looking at basically $35 USD per hour rate. For the ones that I stretched to 2 hours+, it was an even better value.

Of course, I'm not doing that math when I'm with the girls, I'm just trying to enjoy and maximize the experience, so when it's going very well, and they're obviously enjoying it, I move through many different positions, activities, etc. And completely enjoy the experience. They seem more than happy with that, even if I only give them $40 or $60 USD at the end of 2 hours.

Bottom line, everyone needs to do what's best for them, and enjoy their experience, since it's their trip, their preferences, their money. All the rest really doesn't matter.

Can't wait to get back!

Super long post, apologies! But I swear the story is good!
Nomars, that's next level trip reviewing!! Sounds like you found more activity on the streets than I did back in March. I hope that means more people are going out.

Anyways, congrats on what sounds like a fantastic trip.

P.S.

Sorry for ruining the girls for you. Unfortunately, my last trip, I was one of those 10-15 minuters. Lesson learned that I need to either "prime the pump" or hit 2 girls a day so that the 2nd girl gets the longer session. 😁.

[Nomars777]

Hi Showdown,

I tried to send you a message, but got a notification that you've got to many messages in your mailbox. So you need to clear out some.

Nomars777.


Team I am wondering if you can help me with a few things:

1. This is going to be a 48 hours trip so my goal is to screw as many girls as possible. I prefer street girls though I may pick a Badoo or two. Where are the streets I can find these girls? Given I have 48 hours I do not want to waste any time. My goal is to grab a girl, recuperate afterwards and get another.

2. I would imagine I need to stay in Old Havana. Any airBNB is the middle of the action you can recommend?

3. Any contact to get to and from the airport? I always like recommendations for drivers..

[SpanishBlack]

Apparently there's a huge nationwide power outage in Cuba right now. This means people food will go back and imminent food shortages. My trip to Havana was supposed to be in 5 days but I delayed buying the ticket and I'm thankful. Headed elsewhere. I would advise against planning a trip. If you think this will make prices go down, what you'll save in money will be nothing to how poor the experience will be. Unless you're the type of monger that likes taking advantage of people in a crisis.

I would advise against planning a trip.Hurricane Oscar coming soon to the eastern side of the island. You sure made the correct choice and dodged a bullet (actually more like dodged a missle). If anyone is there visiting or living there please let us know what is really happening there. What living conditions are like. All meat and dairy products will be rotten within 3 days even if the freezer is not opened. No water without electric pumps. Right? No wifi or even phone service without electricity. What is there to even eat? OMG! What a horrible situation.

FYI.

Today the grid is back to normal in the whole island.

Mondo.Any info in regards to what the outcome has been from the Hurricane and power outage? Food, water, gas, etc?

[Mondo707]

Any info in regards to what the outcome has been from the Hurricane and power outage? Food, water, gas, etc?It seems like they're back to before the collapse of the grid. Some deficits, it seems to me this happens mostly in different areas mostly in eastern Cuba. Food, water and gas the situation is like it's been for a while.

To sum it up, if you are in Habana, there is less chance of power outages, specially near the tourists areas, Old Habana, Vedado, Miramar.

Again, this is my take from what I'm hearing, reading.

I have a trip plan for the end of January. I'll update if I hear anything different and of course once I come back from my trip.

Hi everyone, I'll be in Cuba in December and will be traveling with a group for a few days, while I'll be alone for a few days in Havana. It's my first time there and I have a few questions for you:

- money: I read that you only need to bring cash, is that right? Do you go to the host to change money? What's a good exchange rate today?

- safety: can you walk around Havana day and night without any worries?

- accommodation: do you have any airbnb to recommend that obviously allows guests? And maybe with a good breakfast and wifi?

- I read about this pharmacy where you can find the blue pills, where is it approximately? In Thailand I took tadalafil and my performance has improved a lot!

- girls: are they so easy to find, even just walking? And if I wanted to go to some place, is there one you recommend?

Thanks to anyone who wants to help me.

- I read about this pharmacy where you can find the blue pills, where is it approximately? In Thailand I took tadalafil and my performance has improved a lot!.Money: do by all means take a credit / debit card, but cash is most important. Some businesses are set up to receive card payments (even from US-issued card) but these are in the minority. Indeed, some tourist-oriented businesses insist on card payments: if you do pay by card, ensure that you are making a payment in US dollars or Euro rather than Pesos. (There are at least three different exchange rates, so you can never be sure how much a card payment in peso is going to cost you.).

It is technically illegal to exchange cash for pesos, so be careful. You can find the current exchange rate on a web site called El Toque and ensure that you receive something similar (it is reasonable for your money-changer to make up to five per cent as margin). Your casa host may or may not offer a sensible exchange rate; ditto bar and restaurant owners or people running small shops. People who approach you on the street might rob you or might even be police agents, so just ignore them.

Safety: daytime is fine everywhere; dark streets at night can be dangerous. Keep alert just as if you were anywhere else in the world.

[Adinga]

Website called Eltoque gives a pretty accurate Dollar -Peso exchange rate. Remember if you pay in US Dollars and are given pesos for change you will want know what conversion rate the business used -- just ask waitres or proprietor for breakdown on how your change was calculated.

Check the Eltogue rate -- its a good bechmark for the average tourist.

[Mondo707]

Money: do by all means take a credit / debit card, but cash is most important. Some businesses are set up to receive card payments (even from US-issued card) but these are in the minority. Indeed, some tourist-oriented businesses insist on card payments: if you do pay by card, ensure that you are making a payment in US dollars or Euro rather than Pesos. (There are at least three different exchange rates, so you can never be sure how much a card payment in peso is going to cost you.).

It is technically illegal to exchange cash for pesos, so be careful. You can find the current exchange rate on a web site called El Toque and ensure that you receive something similar (it is reasonable for your money-changer to make up to five per cent as margin). Your casa host may or may not offer a sensible exchange rate; ditto bar and restaurant owners or people running small shops. People who approach you on the street might rob you or might even be police agents, so just ignore them.

Safety: daytime is fine everywhere; dark streets at night can be dangerous. Keep alert just as if you were anywhere else in the world.I would add about credit cards, unless yours are from a country outside the USA, then you're good to go. If you are from the USA credit cards don't work in Cuba. Also, don't expect the infra structure to be anywhere near as good as what it is in develop countries.
Once you figure out what the exchange rate (minus the commission) I'd try and do it with your host b4 doing it someplace else. Try and get large cuban pesos notes, preferable 500 & 1000 denominations.

Another great trip to Havana! Everything is on and popping in the city. The chicas are there and available and all over the place. Any type of lady you desire. Prices are still on point, from the food, drinks and pussy. Even found a spot with great wifi, for free!

[Mutumbolo]

So, I booked the first two days through airbnb a room with wifi that I hope will be enough to contact home. Is it normal that everyone specifies that I have to register every girl I bring to the room?

Anyway, thanks to everyone for the information you share.

[Luigi84]

Hello guys.

I leave soon to Havana in December, the trip will certainly be wonderful and this thanks to your advice on places to frequent and to find chicas.

Little question for those who know it is possible to keep memories of our sex, photos but especially videos, or is it taboo for girls down there?

Thank you very much.

[Mutumbolo]

Are you not concerned about the storm?What storm? A month in advance, you already know there will be a storm?

[Adinga]

I was in Havana in late August and the place was a complete ghost town.

I had a chance to visit Johnnys Rio Club, La Rampa, LM in Miramar, Vedado Social Club and the Malecon -- dead.

I'm not an App guy but was able to hook up with 3 girls who were happy with the 40 - 50 bucks that I gave them.

The house were I stayed had Wifi.

All of my contacts have fled the country for US and Europe.

[Nyahbinghi83]

What storm? A month in advance, you already know there will be a storm?I am sitting at MIA airport and flight has been delayed twice, and now a third time. Flight was canceled Tuesday and now delays because Havana airport had been closed.

[Mutumbolo]

I am sitting at MIA airport and flight has been delayed twice, and now a third time. Flight was canceled Tuesday and now delays because Havana airport had been closed.Oh, I'm sorry. I'm leaving from Europe and I've already booked the flight a long time ago. What can I say. I hope I'm luckier.

Surely reading the latest comments, between adverse weather and those who speak of a ghost town. You are making me a little worried.

Nomars777 and previous posters have described a totally different and much more enticing place, which is what I hope to find.

Nomars777 and previous posters have described a totally different and much more enticing place, which is what I hope to find.You need to pay just a little bit more attention to the world in general but to your upcoming destination in great detail. Hurrican Rafael just went over Havana yesterday. Even if you guys can make it to Havana there will be many problems. Less than two weeks ago the entire island just got over an island wide electrical blackout that lasted days. Lots of food spoiled. Doubt they have had much time to replenish that food. What do you think the electrical situation will be now after the storm? Better have cash if ATMs are offline.

Mondo.At mondo I read it but I had already decided to go, with or without power. Our flight got delayed a bit but we arrived safely. Being my first time here and the darkness, I couldn't see much besides fallen trees and wet ground. I was without power for about 3 hours but it's finally back on. Staying at an Abnb a few blocks from the Gran Kempinski Havana. Hungry and starving for a warm body if anyone wants to share numbers.

[Adinga]

In your the current situation you won't find much street action accept for real hardcore girls.

Just speak with a taxi driver / bouncer or bartender and ask if they know some women who want to date a tourist -give him $10 up front along with your phone number.

If they deliver the goods give them another 10 bucks. Don't be cheap.

You will need your phone set up with Cuban simm card for Whats App.

If they don't call you back move on and look at it as the cost of doing business other wise use the apps -.

What a fantastic report. Cuba has always been on my Places to Visit list but I never thought it was a good place for mongering. This report Just changed my mind. Someone add it to reports of distinction. You stayed in Airbnb. Is that because hotels in Havana are not girl friendly?

What a fantastic report. Cuba has always been on my Places to Visit list but I never thought it was a good place for mongering. This report Just changed my mind. Someone add it to reports of distinction. You stayed in Airbnb. Is that because hotels in Havana are not girl friendly?Yep, most hotels won't let you bring a "working girl" unless you plan it in advance and tip / arrange it before hand. That's why almost all reports talk about renting thru Airbnb. The other option, in case your renting a hotel, is to rent a place short time to bring your girl. Most of the working girls know where to go, also, their handlers can arrange it for you.

Enjoy and report back.

As I stated before, the talent just isn't there anymore. But if not too fussy with looks, there's plenty of action.What exactly do you mean by that? I very much dig extremely skinny girls (40 kg). I am not looking for curvy girls. My interest in Cuba was piqued by Facebook friend recommendations for some tiny little spinners in Havana.

Did you find much of that kind of talent? Or is that what you are looking for too?

One would think in a country with scarcity of food most would be slim, but it's not the case. They simply don't have access to all the proper food types to cook healthy meals, they take whatever is available, and sandwiches, pizza and burgers are available, plus the staples yucca and platano.

Going to Havana for the third time this year. Will be there next weekend. Will post a comprehensive report when I get back but I have a question for the veterans of the online game. Last time I used Badoo and that worked fine. I played the odds by just messaging a ton of girls the same message.

Hola, estoy de visita desde LOS estados unidos ¿Quieres tener una cita? Te pagaré por tu tiempo.

I got a 10% response rate. Most girls were offended at this level of directness. I think I need to be more subtle but also don't really want to get to know these girls. What was worked for other people? Also I want to try in person game this trip so any tips there would be appreciated.

What was worked for other people? Also I want to try in person game this trip so any tips there would be appreciated.I've never been on Badoo, but your approach is kind of like walking down the street and every time you see a woman ask her, "Do you want to fuck me? I'll pay you money. " You're doing pretty darn well getting 10% to reply. If you'd like to be less offensive and still convey something similar, words and phrases like "generoso", "amiga con derechos," and "relacion de corto plazo" are your friend. Something like "Eres muy atractiva y me gusta tu perfil, querria conocerte. Tal vez podamos encontrarnos para tomar un cafe o una copa. Soy estadounidense en Cuba de vacaciones. Solo estare aqui hasta (insert date) asi que busco una relacion de corto plazo. Pero soy soltero y estoy abierto al amor verdadero. Disfruto mucho de Cuba y viajo aqui con frecuencia. Soy generoso. ".

I think that would get a higher response rate, but then your direct approach may be better for your purposes. My wording may give her the impression she can latch onto you like a leach and suck you dry until you leave.

What was worked for other people? Also I want to try in person game this trip so any tips there would be appreciated.I think you might be being a little too forward with that message. Think of it this way, if you were participating in an illegal activity and someone just put online, "hey, I'll pay for illegal activities! Would you respond?

I had quite a few responses when I used it back in March. Just put in your bio that you're coming from out of town and would like to meet some new people to have some fun. That's it. Then, ask for their WhatsApp within your first few messages with them. They're much more willing to take the conversation out of Badoo and into WhatsApp. Then you can be a little more forward once in WhatsApp. Just a little discretion goes a long way.

Also remember that not all of these girls are full time "companions". Most of them have regular jobs and do this as a side hustle. With your direct route, I think it probably makes them feel like full on putas. Let them keep a little dignity and that makes the entire situation move a bit more smoothly.

Cuba seems to be more of a situation where a bit of discretion is required, prostitution is illegal after all. If you read through the thread it isn't at all uncommon for guys to not even end up paying these girls because, like other humans, they just want to have fun.

Hello all,

I've been lurking this site for about a year now, and I feel it's time to pay my dues. I have a trip to Cuba soon for 10 days. I plan on uploading a comprehensive trip, many of my questions were answered in the previous posts I found here, and many of them were left unanswered. I aim to provide info on all the questions I wished I had an answer to at the conclusion of my trip so that it may illuminate things for other first timers to Havana.

So far I have had a lot of success on Badoo (thanks to the recommendation of others here) I know a good bit of Spanish and I'm pretty young / fit so that may be the cause of the success but, honestly I think with a little bit of game and manners, any average dude should really have no problem there. I have scheduled several dates with no mention of money, obviously I plan on showing these girls a nice time while I am there but I bring it up just to point to the fact that a lot of these girls are not just pros, at least not flat out, they want to be flirted with a bit and talked to, they are very kind and receptive, in short: A less direct approach will likely serve one well. This is my first post, and my trip report will likely be my last post as I wouldn't really consider myself a hobbyist, just a young guy that like to plow chicks.

If any of you who are experienced in the ways and women of Havana feel like gifting me your knowledge and advice it will be happily received, I check this thread everyday as it was where I have gotten the bulk of my information (thanks again to the previous reporters).

Either the short game or the long game, they want money. They are quite sophisticated in extracting money from those that have it. And not saying that is bad, it is a reflection of the desperation there, and the tradition of how to get help.

Hey fellas, hope all is well. Has anyone been in June? How's the scene? I am starting a new job soon and can't take any PTO until then but it's plenty of time to plan. For context I'm from a similar country so the heat doesn't bother me much. For context my favorite type of Cubanas are the white slim brunettes with bubble butts and that sexy ass accent.

For context I'm from a similar country so the heat doesn't bother me much. For context my favorite type of Cubanas are the white slim brunettes with bubble butts and that sexy ass accent.Regarding your questions, 1st the type of Cubana you mentioned are the top tier ones. So, you either have to pay top USD / Euro or else if you're on the young side and have some game then it's possible to get hooked up with basically low $$$ except for incidentals like food & drinks, maybe a gift or two.

Since the heat is not a problem for you, then you'll be good to go. Either way June is not the month with the most heat. That's prolly August.

Hope this helps and keeps us informed if you decide to visit.

Mondo.

ps, Remember prostitution is illegal in Cuba and unlike some people on the forum that think all Cubanas are putas, the reason why some of them decide to this is out of desperation for the dire economic situation the economy is in. Also, because they can't enjoy some of the things you and I take for granted when we visit.

Thanks man! I'm in my early 30's and have been mistaken for still being in my twenties so I have at least that going for me. I plan to slim down a few pounds too and I'm mostly fluent in Spanish. I have a genuine interest in learning some Salsa dancing too. Hopefully all these factors benefit me. I tend to avoid IG model types and go for the girl next door types but I still would prefer them as described and those with experience know there's a difference but I am already mentally prepared to spend a little more. So far on my other trips I have been lucky to get discounts and in Brazil, even a freebie with a working girl who seemed to develop a genuine liking for me. (not enough to quit that life though! Never fall in love fellas! LOL) and I appreciate other pro tips I have gotten such as prepping cheap make up, toiletries, and grabbing some chocolate for them.

I left him a comment requesting to make another video of these joints at night so that we can judge if it's worth it. In case he makes it I'll post it.

Nonetheless, for those who are Español impaired, jjj, he talks about all the joints that have been opening in this area, calle 70 and 3rd avenue, where all these hotels are located. You can see them, mostly 2 floors with music and action at night. This area is located in the Miramar section of la Habana.

I stayed in an Airbnb about 15 minutes walk east of that location and it was good there, lots of girls looking to hook up.

The cool thing about a lot of those little bars, with the second floor dance floors / bars is that many girls go there to dance and see what turns up. My favorite was a girl named Claudia, I saw her at one of these bar / dance floor places, just an amazing body and her dancing was sooooo enticing. Moves to make you hard before you even saw her with no clothes on. Wow. Anyway, I end up leaving after I finished my drink and snack, and I don't see her as I'm leaving, only the guy she arrived with. Lo and behold I get downstairs and there she was, waving me to come talk to her. She had seen me eyeballing her and wanted to know if I wanted to spend time with her. Uh, hell yes. Of course the security guy told her she couldn't be seen speaking to foreigners and trying to arrange a date, etc. No worries, we walk around to a different spot, negotiated a sum of $80, to include pounding her ass if I was interested in such a thing (I was) and we stopped at a little restaurant to pick up some beers and went back to my place for a good time.

Ended up walking back to 1 / 70 later and had a great conversation at a table with 3 girls, who wanted me to take all of them back to my place!

So yes, there are lots of girls out, some of the places play their music very loud, but it was a great time, much different than in Habana Vieja. A good plan would be to split time between the 2. Like 3 nights in central Habana, then 2 nights in Miramar.

Either way, definitely check it out, even if it's just one night. Great area, decent food at some of the places, very "meh" food in others, but the drinks are good and inexpensive and lots of girls out to take back to your place after dancing a little with them.

Enjoy!

At the time there was no action whatsoever in this hood. Had to rent a car to get action in Habana vieja and Vedado / Malecon. That was were the action was back in the day.

One other question; what type of music were they blasting? All the joints the same MO?

From my 3 trips to Havana this year, I would say there are all types of girls, but most are going to fall in the light brown to dark brown categories. Not that there aren't white, white girls, but very few and far between.

But I would definitely check Badoo, get a profile going, change your location to Havana probably 2-3 weeks in advance of your trip, start spending time evaluating what's out there and you will also get a lot who will contact you directly. I see more lighter skinned girls on Badoo than I did in the streets.

Most all girls from Badoo are between $40-60, nearly all for 1-2 hours, or more, depending on how you get along with them once you get them in your room. Street girls I've found as low as $10, but I am skeptical as to what you'll get for anything lower than $30. Most super cheap ones look very "crackhead" like, missing teeth, bad skin, etc. No telling what's going on with them. I'd pay a little more and get something that at least looks better.

Lots of good choices on Badoo, too many almost!


What's the diversity lookin like? I love the skinny white ones with the bubble butts. What prices do these girls ask for?

What's the diversity lookin like? I love the skinny white ones with the bubble butts. What prices do these girls ask for?Just to play devil's advocate to Nomars777's comment about Badoo, I just wanted to add a quick note with my experience with Badoo. Keep in mind that a lot of these girls don't have consistent internet. So 2 or 3 weeks might even be too much, depending on your goal. Sometimes I'd be chatting with a girl, then suddenly she'd be gone and wouldn't get back to me for a few days. Or, I collected some numbers and then when I arrived 3 weeks later, they didn't remember who I was.

If your goal is to have chicks waiting for you to land, I would suggest to make your profile no more than a week in advance of your trip.

Granted, it was very fun for me (married guy) to be chatting with these girls to begin with, so I didn't see it as a waste of my time at all. So if your goal is just to see what's available and to practice chatting some girls up in spanish, then go for it any time you want.

Music is all over the board. Lots of regaetton, of course, but a couple of places had a live drummer or other musician that was playing along with a recorded track. It was almost a karaoke type experience. Interesting to hear the live instruments mixed into a drum track and some recorded vocals. Anyway, good times. For whatever reason though, they play the shit so loud you can't hear a goddamn thing without the girl yelling into your ear. I guess that might be the 1 time that Google Translate would be better!


Thanks man for the update / heads up. I take it you had an airbnb around this area, right? I remember many moons ago I rented a studio bungalow near this area. At the time there was no action whatsoever in this hood. Had to rent a car to get action in Habana vieja and Vedado / Malecon. That was were the action was back in the day.

One other question; what type of music were they blasting? All the joints the same MO?

Seems like some of the places are notorious for blasting the music so loud as to cause damage to one's hearing.

She had seen me eyeballing her and wanted to know if I wanted to spend time with her. Uh, hell yes. Of course the security guy told her she couldn't be seen speaking to foreigners and trying to arrange a date, etc.
Is it illegal or frowned upon for local girls to talk with foreigners?

[Nomars777]

I don't think it's that local girls can't talk to foreigners, of course they can, I think it was more that technically the pay for play activity is illegal and he didn't want her arranging services for money on the property of the bar / restaurant.

When we returned to 1st and 70th after our fun in the room, we went to a different club, met her brother, drank some beers and had a great time, no problems at all that she was interacting with me as a foreigner.

So more the negotiation of price for services was the problem, at that particular bar, with that security guy. Not a problem in other places.


Is it illegal or frowned upon for local girls to talk with foreigners?

[EMode]

Is it illegal or frowned upon for local girls to talk with foreigners?Prostitution is illegal in Cuba so the cops have to put on a show of being "hard in crime". However, they also can't screw around with tourists since tourism is such a huge part of their economy. So they hassle the girls instead. So girls are very aware of being seen talking to white male tourists.

Quick story. I was walking down the Prada boulevard with a girl one night and she slowly started to wander a little away from me. I didn't say anything and then noticed that there were 3 cops up ahead. She had put around 15 feet between us while still walking in the same direction and once we were well past the cops, she came back to walk next to me. Neither of us mentioned anything about it, but I knew what she was doing.

So, just be aware and respectful of the girls' situation. A little bit of discretion goes a long way.

[Zeos1]

Is it illegal or frowned upon for local girls to talk with foreigners?At one time it was illegal to talk to foreigners, but I think that was changed several years ago now. But as others have said, prostitution is illegal, and sometimes the police enforce that, other times not so much, but all the time there may be shake downs for money. Some of the girls paid a fee per day to be left alone (was told that a few years ago now) and others pay if they get caught and others get thrown in jail.

Day 1 - Arrival flight. Landing in the afternoon. The whole process at the airport, then taxi to the casa particular, sort out a few things, shower and off to dinner. As soon as I leave the restaurant I meet a beautiful girl on the street. She sees that I'm looking at her with interest, comes up to me and says: "Massage? Blowjob?" A little taken aback and fearing a scam, I thank her, but refuse the offer. Shortly after I meet another girl, less beautiful, but who decides, without leaving me a choice, to be my guide around the nightlife in the center of Havana, so we take this walk chatting and in the end obviously we end up in my casa particular where she introduces me to other Cuban skills so as to have her adequate reward.

Day 2 - After being a tourist during the day, in the evening I go out and go to the area shown the day before, where there is a bit of movement and a few clubs. I'm still a bit disoriented, I don't really know how it works so after a while, having received no signs of interest, I decide to go to the "Casa della musica", a place with live Cuban music. It's Friday night, but there aren't many people actually. There are 3 or 4 couples of girls who are potential prey. I get a drink and start observing. A girl approaches me, but she doesn't give me any positive feelings. Instead, there's another girl who intrigues me a lot but doesn't take me into consideration despite looking at her insistently. In the end I manage to meet her gaze and get a smile out of her. I finish my drink, go to the bathroom and finally approach her. She's there with a friend, we sit at a table, I get a drink for both of us and we chat. The drinks become 2, but I still haven't recovered between travel tiredness and jetlag so I insist on leaving and in the end seeing me half asleep, she understands that it's time to go if she wants to complete the evening with gymnastics and get her reward! So we say goodbye to the friend and go to my house where we spend a good hour before saying goodbye.

Day 3 up to 10 - I'm leaving for a tour of other places on the island with other people. Not much to report that might interest you. The only occasion was in Trinidad, a very touristy town, with a small historic center that seemed lively even in the evening. Here, among restaurants, bars and souvenir shops, I noticed the presence of various signs with the words "Massages" at the entrances of some places, with young ladies sitting and waiting. But I didn't use them so I don't know how far it goes and if it's worth it. Also, in the evening you can find girls interested in tourists, but being around in a mixed group of men / women I felt a bit held back and didn't investigate further.

Day 11 - back to Havana and did the usual evening tour, but the weather was rainy so there were very few people. A couple of girls are stopped continuously by the few tourists around and they pass each other their phones I think to exchange contacts. After a couple of laps I come across them alone and it only takes a half glance for them to approach me and after a few words they both offer themselves to me at a rock-bottom price, so much so that it stinks of a scam. We clear things up and although I'm still a little fearful, in the end I take them home. I had warned them that one was enough for me, but when I come out of the bathroom I find them both in thongs. And now? I look at them, each one has interesting points, so. Yes, let's go for the threesome! They take turns on the shaft, first with oral, then with doggy style. Then that's it, it was the first time with 3 so I lasted too long!

Day 12 - having read about morning / afternoon activities, I want to test if it's that simple. Afternoon walk to the paseo del prado, every now and then there are girls sitting on the sides, but they don't wave and I'm not sure if they are available. After a while I go back and this time I get looks and smiles, maybe they weren't sure before either, but seeing me again they understood! I stop by a girl alone, I'm not attracted to her face, but she's wearing a tight and low-cut jumpsuit with shorts that reveals a perfect teenage body. After a little chat we reach an agreement and go to my house. Naked she is a spectacle, in my opinion she is perfect, except for her face with those hideous eyebrowsbut the low price agreed is worth it.

In the evening I had reconnected with the girl from day 2 with whom I spent another evening that ended at my house.

Day 13 - During the day I go to the beach, in the evening instead I had made an appointment with a girl I met at the big market in the port where she works, she is truly beautiful, in my opinion. We meet in a place on the malecon in new Havana, suggested by her. A trendy place, with Western prices, where I will discover that she, but she had never been before (obviously, with their salaries it is unaffordable). I know that all these signs were very worrying, but she had taken me too much. In the end I spent 60 euros for 2 pizzas and 4 drinks plus the taxi. And then we each went home because she would have to get up early for work, but with the promise of seeing each other the next day to have a full evening because she would not have to work. Obviously I never saw or heard from her again.

Day 14 - in the afternoon I go back to the Paseo del Prado and I find the teenage girl from 2 days before so. I can't resist and I do it again. In the evening I go on the usual tour which this time is quite crowded, but from the little consideration I received I think they are all girls not interested in tourists. Only a few desperate cases show interest, but I'm not in such a bad situation. I decide to try going to a club again, "Casa della Musica" or "V&S", but when I'm in front of the entrance I meet a blonde and white girl (so far they had all been more or less dark, which I don't mind anyway, in fact. I like them all!) with a face that really looks like a photo model. We chat and I understand that she has some physical flaws (she already has 2 children), but I absolutely want to see that face that licks my shaft and given the modest request, I take her home where after the first session we both fall asleep and when we wake up in the middle of the night we unexpectedly fall asleep. Bis not requested by me!

Day 15 - return flight.

Day 15 - return flight.Hey Mutumbolo,

Thanks for posting / reporting.

How was the situation with the apagones (black outs) Did you have issues with it daily in la Habana, Trinidad?

Mondo.

[Mutumbolo]

Hey Mutumbolo,

Thanks for posting / reporting.

Mondo.Hi Mondo707,

In Trinidad the electricity is cut off every day, I don't know if it's planned. Most of the tourist facilities (restaurant, bars, etc), however, have a generator, including my casa particular.

In Havana, no problem. Of course, in the evening many streets are half dark, even in the center, I think by choice of the government, to save or avoid voltage overloads.

[Mutumbolo]

But it was from a lab called MedSol, pill pack says Sildenafilo, so it's some sort of generic. I went to a pharmacy by chance. The shelves were half empty, but out of curiosity I asked for sildenafil. The lady went into the back room and came back with 2 boxes of 10 pills! I needed less, so she cut the package in 2 with scissors and gave me 5 for $10.

An anecdote: I met a neighbor who changed money for me at the highest exchange rate I could find on the whole island and once, when I was waiting at her door for the bills, I noticed that she practically had a market / pharmacy in her house with all the products that cannot be found in official stores such as shower gel, paracetamol, sildenafil, etc! I understood why she always had a line of Cuban people outside her door.

[Kokoss1]

Thanks for this report, nice detail. Might have to try Trinidad sometime, sounds interesting. Good to know the sildenafil is still around. Definitely unexpected when I wandered in and found some available, although they brought it to me from another location.

No need to be paranoid when in a Havana and hanging with the ladies.

Hi thanks for info may we know where or what area was that in?

Thc mate.The pharmacy is in a square near the Museo del Ron, I don't remember exactly.

The money exchange lady is always in Havana Vieja, but she only accepts people she knows (I was introduced to her by the owner of the casa particular).

[Mutumbolo]

Great report man, what was the average price you got quoted? In pesos or Dollars?In my experience they always asked me for dollars / euros, except in one case where they said the amount in pesos (the 2 girls I took together). The amount requested for a service varies from girl to girl, almost always there was a brief negotiation, in any case I always stayed in the range of 20-40 $ and in addition each time a tip of 500 pesos for the bike taxi for the return. I have never done the long time, but I think that 40/60 $ would have been enough.

The girls found on the street were the least demanding.

Obviously if you go to trendy places, not the so-called "tourist places", and pick up image girls or model-type girls, the prices go up dramatically.

Day 1:

Hey guys; first time poster, long time lurker (of multiple forums on here). I'm 28, speak very good Spanish (though not fluent) and travel / monger quite a bit. In the past couple years, I've been to DR about 25-30 times (never Sosua, mostly Santo Domingo and a few other places). I like to hunt for my food.

I came to Cuba because I'm moving to Santo Domingo soon (I'm there about every two weeks these days) and wanted to find another country that I could hop to frequently while living in DR.

I read the forum from January 1, 2024 until present so I had a lot of information going in. Here was my experience on Day 1, I'll try to keep it as short as possible.

I landed in Havana around 12:40. I head to the money exchange place in the airport because I had decided prior that I was going to sacrifice $10 on that horrible exchange rate in order to get a Cubacel sim card from the ETECSA across the street from the airport. After I changed my $10 (I got 1200 pesos for that LOL), I noticed that both Cubacel booths were empty. No problem, I planned to go across the street anyway. I get to the ETECSA across the street and they won't sell me the 1000 CUP sim card. They would only sell me the first card which won't work for me because I want a permanent line (and I didn't want to pay the extra). The lady said she wouldn't sell it to me because I'm American. Cool. I read about that possibly happening so no worries, I'll get it from a local ETECSA instead.

My AirBnB host had arranged a taxi for me ($30) so I head back to the airport, get on their WiFi and activate the free 30 minutes that you get to let my host know that I'm ready. The taxi finds me and we're on our way. Get to the AirBnB, I like it. I go to a couple local ETECSA but it appears they're all closed because it's January 1. Cool. My AirBnB host gave me an Android phone with a SIM card in it to use as a hotspot so I guess I'll get a personal one tomorrow. Time to exchange money.

My AirBnB host offered a rate of 250. Not doing that. On the El Toque site, in the area where it shows the rates, there's a little plus sign (and if you click that, it'll show you live offers that people are sending. These offers link to multiple Telegram groups separated by city. I find the Havana group and there's 25 K+ people in there all selling / buying pesos for the best rates. I pick one in Vedado, setup the meeting and head over. It's in a restaurant. This blonde woman takes me to the back of the restaurant and exchanges $100 for me at 305 per dollar. Nice. Head back to the AirBnB, time to eat.

I only got on Badoo about 4 days ago but only managed to setup three dates, all for tomorrow. None wanted to meet today. That's not going to work for me though, I want to hit something today. I head to a restaurant named "Las Cuatros Lunes". Nice, simple place. Good food. 1 water, 2 beers, beef taco appetizer (3 tacos) and a fish filet with vegetables for 6470 CUP ($21.21 at the 305 rate I got). Great deal and the food is excellent. I'm ready to hunt now.

Its 12 AM, I head to the Prado. When I get there, I see a couple girls. I think they're streetwalkers but as I walk up I realize that one of them is squatting and peeing right on the ground. No thanks. I walk the ENTIRE Prado and the surrounding areas. All the way to Parque Fe. Lot of activity but no pros. All girls are with at least one guy. Lame. I walk back to the Prado and walk it again. No pros everyone is with at least one guy. No worries, I'll see what's up on La Rampa.

I take a La Nave (their version of Uber) to La Rampa. I walk the ENTIRE La Rampa. From the Malecóand all the way past Calle E. No pros whatsoever. Everyone is with a guy. Great. It's 3 AM now and I go home.

I'm not a Sosua guy so I wasn't expecting point and click but man the mongering scene in Cuba fucking sucks so far. The Cubans themselves are very nice people but I just don't get why USA Citizens come here. Hard pressed to find street working girls, the Badoo girls don't want to see you the first day you talk to them. Girls pissing right in the middle of the Prado where the monuments are (by the way the entire Prado reeks of piss). Huge piles of trash in the streets, people eating out of trash cans. This place makes Santo Domingo look like Singapore. I'm not normally a street girl guy but I was trying to push my boundaries as a mongerer and make it happen.

I have three Badoo dates lined up for tomorrow but I'm not hopeful. It's early in my trip but it's not looking good. Sure, if You exchange your money correctly then it's super cheap but it doesn't really justify how difficult it is to find a working girl. I'm not a fan of this place and may never return. And it's only Day 1. This is going to be a rough five days man. I was excited to come but as of right now it's failing all tests. Hopefully things turn out better tomorrow.

Best,

King Santo.

New Year's day is a holiday down there too bro. Even hookers take days off, that being said I also hope your experience goes much better.


Day 1:

Hey guys; first time poster, long time lurker (of multiple forums on here). I'm 28, speak very good Spanish (though not fluent) and travel / monger quite a bit. In the past couple years, I've been to DR about 25-30 times (never Sosua, mostly Santo Domingo and a few other places). I like to hunt for my food.

I came to Cuba because I'm moving to Santo Domingo soon (I'm there about every two weeks these days) and wanted to find another country that I could hop to frequently while living in DR.

I read the forum from January 1, 2024 until present so I had a lot of information going in. Here was my experience on Day 1, I'll try to keep it as short as possible.

I landed in Havana around 12:40. I head to the money exchange place in the airport because I had decided prior that I was going to sacrifice $10 on that horrible exchange rate in order to get a Cubacel sim card from the ETECSA across the street from the airport. After I changed my $10 (I got 1200 pesos for that LOL), I noticed that both Cubacel booths were empty. No problem, I planned to go across the street anyway. I get to the ETECSA across the street and they won't sell me the 1000 CUP sim card.

In the past couple years, I've been to DR about 25-30 times (never Sosua, mostly Santo Domingo and a few other places). I like to hunt for my food..Try walking around the streets of old Havana in the evening. Its safe. Look for girls sitting in door stoops and talk to them. Also take some rides in pedicabs and tell the guy you are looking for chicas. Most of them know some putas.

King Santo.Also I didn't hear you mention Parque Central either. San Rafael and Parque Central are in very close proximity to each other which is not that far from Prado. You could have hit all 3 locations in a short period of time.

Hey KS,

Just wondering if you found any better hunting during the weekend? Hope your trip has picked up.

[Cabroncito]

If I get a tourist SIM that allows sms will it work? And if not, does the app require a permanent SIM just to set up the account, or does it require 2 FA (typing in the code) each time I request a ride.

Heading to Havana this week! Thanks. !

Heading to Havana this week! Thanks. !I have a permanent SIM. If you borrow someone elses sim, you may affect their La Nave account. When you use la nave, usually you will get a phone call from the driver confirming the ride and let you know how far out he is. If you don't answer the phone call, they will cancel the ride. So you're going to need your own number to accept the call for each ride.

Day 2:

Sorry for the delay guys, was having issues with my email registration. Also decided to drop the "S" on "King Santos". Has a better ring to it. As I did with my first post, I'll try to keep it as short as possible.

So I wake up late and my legs are definitely a little sore from all the walking I did the night prior but it's whatever. Character development. I now set my eyes on completing yesterday's goal. A permanent SIM card.

So I head over to to a local ETECSA at (location) as planned and say I need a SIM card. They tell me to go to another one down the street at (location). Apparently that one is Commercial Office that offers more services. I walk in and ask for a SIM card. There's a breakdown in communication and the clerk sells me a 500-peso recarga card (to top up a SIM card). I'm not really upset about it because I'm going to need a recharge at some point anyway. I clarify with the same clerk that I need an actual SIM card. She won't sell it to me because I'm a foreigner. That sounds familiar. At this point, I bite the bullet, get on my phone (which I'm still getting internet on via the Android phone my AirBnB host gave me) and order the $13.99 7-day "Basic" tourist card from Suena Cuba and select "Commerical Offices" for pickup. I head back home, grab my passport and return to the ETECSA Office. This time things go my way and I finally get the SIM card. Pop it into my phone and wow, the internet is so much better when the SIM is actually in your phone. Who would've thought? I'm mostly just very that I don't have to walk around with two phones like a jabroni anymore. I'm ready to get back to hunting.

As mentioned I had 3 Badoo dates lined up. The first one didn't respond to my messages but they werent delivering on WhatsApp. So I think it was an internet issue. 2nd one is messaging me back but I'm a veteran mongerer / hunter, I can tell it's not going anywhere. 3rd girl (beautiful slim light skinned girl - 21 years old) agrees to meet for lunch. Nice. She says she's going to the beach and will meet me after. This was around 11 AM. 4 PM rolls around and she says that she thought I had forgotten about her. Huh? I waiting for you to tell me you were done at the beach woman. At this point I'm fed up and kill the conversation and tell her maybe tomorrow. But I have no intentions of doing that (at the time). Extremely frustrated at this point. Let me get a haircut and hit the streets. A haircut should send my power levels over 9000 for hunting.

I hit three barber shops, they're all closed. Okay at this point Cuba is really starting to give me a headache but I'm not ready to throw in the towel. I'll get a haircut tomorrow. Let me go to Old Havana for the first time to eat and get a few cigars. But first, let's change money. I head back to the same restaurant spot from yesterday (Papi Rey on the corner of Av. Paseo and Calle 29) . Instead of the blonde, it's a young, bald white guy (he's super cool though). I ask him the rate today and he says 310. Nice, it was 305 yesterday, I'm starting to like this spot. I get 31 K pesos ($100), head to the house, shower and get a La Nave to Hotel Manzana for cigars.

While in the La Nave, I get a message from a new Badoo girl, she's willing to go on a date tonight. Nice. I ask her where she is and she says Old Havana. What a coincidence, that's exactly where I'm headed. I tell her to meet me at Hotel Manzana. Once I get to the hotel (about 8 PM), they tell me the cigars stop closed at 4 PM. I'm annoyed but at least I have a girl on the way. I hang out in front of Manzana for a few minutes and she shows up, 24 years old and cute but nothing to write home about. We go to a restaurant named "Sibirata Habana" right next to Hotel Manzana. We get 5 beers, an appetizer of croquetas, an appetizer of Brucheta, Lobster dish entre and a cheeseburger for 16.7 K CUP ($53.87). Decent food but the vibes and nice decor were a great touch.

It's 11 now and we're having a good time. We leave the restaurant and her dad (yes, her dad) is outside in the park area chilling by his car. She says a few words to him and one of her chica friends. I wave to them and they wave back LOL. Chica comes back, we hop in the La Nave and go back to my place. Great performer, I paid her 9000 pesos, she was happy about that and says she wants to spend the night. Cool with me.

Things got off to a rough start but now that I have my SIM card and I've finally gotten a nut off, I'm feeling a LOT better about the situation and the adventure that this learning curve is providing me. I think I was just cranky LOL. We'll see what Day 3 has to offer. I have quite a few planned and it finally feels like I'm starting to hit my stride.

Best,

King Santo.

[Nomars777]

After a very rough first day, I was also feeling like, "Man, fuck this place! It's horrible, a dirty nasty shithole and I can't wait to never come here again!

Then I had a good day or two, and then I went back 2 more times, with the 3rd trip the best!

So yeah, it takes a little while to get used to the weird way that Havana operates, the way the girls operate, just how life is so very different there than here, but once you get your feet, it's amazing.

Enjoy!

Things started off slow because I was trying to move in Havana the way that I move in Santo Domingo and that just doesn't work in Cuba. Completely different animal; but I did love the challenge and I definitely see the potential. I'll likely be back.

[KingSanto]

Day 3:

Here is where things start to get interesting. So last night before going to bed, I send a message to the slim girl that I didn't get to meet for lunch because of the miscommunication. The post nut clarity made me realize that I was a little out of pocket and should try her again. I say "Hey, I still want to meet you, hit me up in the morning when you wake up" and go to sleep next to the Badoo chica I had just smashed.

I wake up in the morning and I have a text from the slim girl. Nice. She still wants to see me and we set something up for later in the day. Okay now I'm feeling good. I send the Badoo girl from the previous night home in a La Nave, shower and realize that I actually haven't drank any water in two days. I was so pissed with Cuba that I forgot to buy water! My AirBnB host says they can get me mini water bottles at $1/ each. Bro I'm not new to this, stop the nonsense. My first day you try to change my money for 250, now you want me to buy mini water bottles at $1/ pop? No.

I hop in a La Nave and head to this grocery store named "Pazillo Fresh". They have full bottles of water at 200 pesos each. Nice, I'll take 10 of them thangs. I look around and notice this place has a lot of American sodas and a ton of alcohol. At great prices! I ask what time they close, he says 11 PM. Ohhh you'll definitely be seeing me again. I hop in a La Nave headed home and guzzle down 3 of the waters. Didn't realize I was that thirsty. At this point I'm starting to get hip to Havana and I know things close early so now it's time for cigars. I hop in a La Nave to Hotel Manzana and go into a spot named "Coheba Atmosphere". It was worth the wait because man their cigar selection is crazy. The Cuban attendant there helps me pick out 3 mild cigars (1 Montecristo, 2 R&J's). $58 total (expensive but they were so worth it). I head back out and I get a phone call, it's a barber from one of the places that were closed yesterday. He does house calls for 1000 pesos. Okay, now I'm starting to fuck with Cuba. I take a La Nave home and the barber arrives on time with his tools and cuts my hair in the AirBnB. He does an incredible job, I give him 3000 pesos. My power levels are definitely over 9000 now.

Right on queue the slim girl hits me up, she's ready and she wants to pay for her own taxi. Okay, I'm definitely not used to that. She pulls up and tells me she's downstairs. I walk downstairs and oh my God this is one of the most naturally beautiful women I've ever seen in my life. Holy shit. I bring her up into the apartment and we chat a bit. I find out she's in her last year of law school. I want to take her out to eat but I've got to change my money. We hop in the La Nave and head to Papi Rey. She tells me she wants to wait outside, doesn't want to see me change my money. Oooo I like this girl. She was purposely looking away when I paid the La Nave too. Interesting. I walk in and ask the rate. It's 315 now. Now I really like this place. I get 31.5 K pesos and we hop in a La Nave back to my place so I can put the money up.

We take another La Nave over to a restaurant named "El Biky". 2 Croquetas Appetizers, 2 beers, 2 malt drinks, chicken entre with vegetables and a fish steak with vegetables and an extra side of rice. 10 K pesos. Okay Cuba is growing on me. La Nave back to my place and we're chilling playing UNO (I highly recommend taking a deck of UNO with you wherever you go), this girl is so sweet she'll give you a damn toothache! I'm thoroughly enjoying her company. Remember that grocery store from before? Time to go back and get some liquor. Bottle of Cuban rum, 2 Pepsis, 2 red bulls and cookies, 9600 pesos. Now I'm really starting to like this girl. I tell her to get anything she wants and all she asks for is 2 Pepsis and 2 Redbulls. We had already agreed to spend the day together tomorrow so I'm like "get whatever you need for two days". She repeats herself "2 Pepsis, 2 Redbulls". Okay this girl is definitely not Dominican, wow. I'm blown away.

Hop back in the La Nave to the AirBnB and do the deed. She has a few things to take care of in the morning so I send her home in a La Nave and give her money for the taxi fare. I sit outside on the terrace of my AirBnB, Montecristo in hand, absolutely sauced off of this Cuban rum and thinking to myself. "Cuba? I think I actually like you quite a bit. You're growing on me".

Looking forward to Day 4 (my last day before leaving). I think I'll be back. I see the potential.

Best,

King Santo.

Yup. Things started off slow because I was trying to move in Havana the way that I move in Santo Domingo and that just doesn't work in Cuba. Completely different animal; but I did love the challenge and I definitely see the potential. I'll likely be back.What s the difference between the two?

[Mondo707]

Day 3:

Here is where things start to get interesting. So last night before going to bed, I send a message to the slim girl that I didn't get to meet for lunch because of the miscommunication. The post nut clarity made me realize that I was a little out of pocket and should try her again. I say "Hey, I still want to meet you, hit me up in the morning when you wake up" and go to sleep next to the Badoo chica I had just smashed.

I wake up in the morning and I have a text from the slim girl. Nice. She still wants to see me and we set something up for later in the day. Okay now I'm feeling good. I send the Badoo girl from the previous night home in a La Nave, shower and realize that I actually haven't drank any water in two days. I was so pissed with Cuba that I forgot to buy water! My AirBnB host says they can get me mini water bottles at $1/ each. Bro I'm not new to this, stop the nonsense. My first day you try to change my money for 250, now you want me to buy mini water bottles at $1/ pop? No.

I hop in a La Nave and head to this grocery store named "Pazillo Fresh". They have full bottles of water at 200 pesos each. Nice, I'll take 10 of them thangs. I look around and notice this place has a lot of American sodas and a ton of alcohol. At great prices! I ask what time they close, he says 11 PM. Ohhh you'll definitely be seeing me again. I hop in a La Nave headed home and guzzle down 3 of the waters. Didn't realize I was that thirsty. At this point I'm starting to get hip to Havana and I know things close early so now it's time for cigars. I hop in a La Nave to Hotel Manzana and go into a spot named "Coheba Atmosphere". It was worth the wait because man their cigar selection is crazy. The Cuban attendant there helps me pick out 3 mild cigars (1 Montecristo, 2 R&J's). $58 total (expensive but they were so worth it). I head back out and I get a phone call, it's a barber from one of the places that were closed yesterday. He does house calls for 1000 pesos. Okay, now I'm starting to fuck with Cuba.

King Santo.Man, glad you are enjoying your fling so far. Thanks for posting.

You mentioned to use La Nave I'd need a Cuban sim card, right? How would the prices be compared to the regular taxis there? I take it it works like Uber does, right? You get the price quote before hand, right?

Found the place you mentioned, Pazillo Fresh, nice to know since I stay not far from there. Do they take CUP, USD or both?

Also, you mentioned Papi Rey, is that a place to buy CUP or something else?

Yeah, I hit El Biky a lot when I visit, clean place and affordable for us visiting. Heads up, when you get the bill they ad a 10% automatically like they do in Europe. First time I went I tipped them not realizing the tip was already included in the bill!

Can't wait to get there for my trip next month.

Saludos.

ps, In case you enjoy Cuban and Spanish food I recommend Los Nardos. It's in front of the Capitolio Nacional, on the 2nd floor. There is also another restaurant on the 3rd floor, not sure what type of food they do there. I know Cuban@s love Los Nardos. Affordable and clean.

Yessir, to use La Nave, you need a Cubacel SIM card. More specifically, you need a Cuban phone number so that you can receive the confirmation text when you sign up. After you're signed up, you're able to set your email and password so you won't necessarily need the number after that. The tourist SIM card is valid for 7 days so if you come back and have a different number, it's fine; there's an option to change your number within the app as needed. I can't speak on the prices of the regular taxis because I've never taken one but the La Nave rides ranged from 800-2700 pesos ($2. 50-$9). The vast majority of my rides were around the 900-1100 peso range. I was in Vedado so to get to places like La Rampa or Pazillo Fresh or Papi Rey it was always 900-1100. Havana Vieja 1100-1200. The only time it was 2700 was when I sent the slim girl home but she lived pretty far away, so the price made sense to me.

La Nave works exactly like Uber. The only difference being that you have to select on the map where you want to go. You can't really search "Hotel Manzana" and then go there but it's easy once you get used to it. Just use your Google / Apple maps to see where the location is and put it in La Nave. It'll give you a rough estimate of the price and it's almost always spot on. Extremely reliable, always works and the ride always got accepted within 60 seconds. The drivers will normally call you right away to confirm that you actually want the La Nave and after that he's on his way. A lovely, lovely app. And that's not hyperbole. It's really that good. When you arrive at your destination, the final price is displayed very prominently on the driver's phone so there's never any confusion on how much you owe.

As for Pazillo Fresh, I paid in pesos, I'm not sure if they take USD but they actually pick up their fucking phone so I recommend just calling and asking once you get your SIM card. In Santo Domingo, I only pay in Dominican pesos so I followed the same protocol in Cuba. The only time I spent actual dollars was in Cohiba Atmosphere for the cigars but I knew beforehand from research that they only take USD (and make sure your bills are perfect with no rips; one of my 10's had a slight corner missing and they didn't want to accept it. I had more so I just switched it out no big deal). I also paid for my taxi from the airport in dollars because I didn't have pesos yet.

Papi Rey is more of a fast food spot (there's no seating). I go there to change my money. Excellent rates. I just walk in and say "I'm here to change" in Spanish. They have you wait outside for 1-2 minutes and then one of the owners takes you to a back room and exchanges your money for you. In my 4 days there the dollar was booming so the rates were 305,310, 315 and then 320. It seems to be popular for changing money because sometimes there's a line of Cubans, but it moves quickly. Always check El Toque before and always ask for the rate once you're in the back room. Just to be sure. Beware that they generally only have 200-peso and 100-peso bills. I know people in the forum don't like that (and neither do I) but it's so convenient, quick and trustworthy that I just kept going. They give you the money rubberbanded up in set amounts so as a workaround, I just kept the money in the bands that they gave me (for example, the bill at El Biky was like 10,600 pesos. Cool. I drop a 10 K peso band and just count out the other 600. Super simple).

Thanks for the heads up on the 10% tax. It seems that most "official" restaurants charge that so I was prepared. In DR you get charged an 18% sales tax and then a 10% "gratuity" on top of that so the 10% sales tax in Havana was A-okay with me!

I hope this information is helpful for you and thanks for the food recommendations. I've written them down for my next trip.

Best.

King Santo.

Just wondering if all sex in Cuba is "con batido" which is short for "with preservative" (condom) or if there is any natural sex without preservatido?

The Cuban girls I did all required batido. The sex was just like a handshake, as long as it was with a condom the girls all were willing.

[Chris H]

Completely different animal; but I did love the challenge and I definitely see the potential. I'll likely be back.You are exactly correct. You have to move different in Havana. Many of the guys that come down with me to Havana, have the Sosua, Colombia, Brazil mentality, and you got to let that go when it comes to Havana. That's why I enjoy it so much, No Point and Click. Got to use your mouth piece a little bit.

You are correct! This restaurant is 1 of my favs in Havana. I usually eat on the 1st level, and get my favorite dish, the Lamb Shank. Prices are on point, and the beer is always nice and cold. It will be my first stop when I arrive on Friday morning. Can't wait!

Got to use your mouth piece a little bit.Have to agree 100% with Chris H, When it comes to la Habana the chase is different than the other places mentioned, ie. , DR, Colombia, Brazil, etc.

Like King Santo is finding out some things work completely different than the places mentioned above.

Lots of chicas in Cuba are in such poor economic shape that (if you have some game) they'll gladly hook up for a good time, eating out, drinks etc.

On my many trips there that's what I aim for. Honestly, where I live (Los Angeles) there's so much for us to choose from that it'd be so counter productive to visit Cuba to chaise and pay for tail there. Yes, I know is quite a bit cheaper there, but again, when you ad up airfare, lodging etc it's prolly cost wise about the same as paying here for Koreans cuties or the MP joints which are lower in cost.

Even lower, cost wise, is Tijuana, a couple of hours away.

Just one piece of advise for anybody, play it cool and do not treat the chicas you meet like putas. I'm talking about the ones that are not the hard core ones.

Thanks again to King Santo for posting and all the info he's provided.

On my last 2 trips, I got bareback pussy from about 30-40% of the girls 3 out of 6 in July, 3 out of 11 in October.

Obviously not all were willing, but I just ask nicely if we can move forward without the condom. Some will hesitate, then proceed, others will say no, others will hesitate and ask for more money and then proceed.

Bottom line. Ask if they'll go "sin condon" or "sin preservativo". And you've got a good chance of it happening, at least based on my experience.

Hi, can you help please. I have a permanent Cuban Sim card (not tourist sim). I was lucky enough to get one in August trip from my Cuban friend.

However, I could never get a straight answer from her or several other people on how to reload the card! Is it as simple as buying a 500-peso recarga card from "many places on every other street corner", and then inputting the numbers from card into your phone with the SIM?

Thanks for your help. I go to Havana next week and want to be prepared.

Thanks for your help. I go to Havana next week and want to be prepared.There is somebody on every corner and every barrio that can charge it for you. Simply tell them your phone number and they charge it for you. For about 500 pesos. You can do it online also but you need to get help from a local. You have to ask around to find the person that charges the phone for 500. Havana is full of fraud at every corner. Don't pay more than 500 pesos or you getting hustled.

Thanks for your help. I go to Havana next week and want to be prepared.If you go to Cuballama, there you can do recargas to your Cuba number before you get to Cuba.

You need to register to be able to do this transaction, I. E have a telephone number from where you are doing this transaction out side of Cuba.

Again, you need to do this before the period expires, I think it's about 11 month or so since your last recarga.

The way it works with Cuballama, once you register they'll ask what number you want to do the recarga for, there you put your Cuba sim number and they credit whatever amount you choose to purchase to that number. Btw, they are running a pretty good special now. Make sure if you go this route to get an explanation about the process since you mentioned about traveling next week.
Also, if you don't speak Español to ask for an English speaking rep. Their c.s. is very good as far as explaining things and getting the help you need.

Also Cubacel has a website where you can purchase a recarga but I think it's for tourist cards only, not sure if you can purchase a permanent sim card recarga.

Where are King Santo's currency conversion rates coming from? He says he paid 9000 pesos to the first girl. That's $375 USD according to google. But he also says he gets 31 k pesos for $100. Does anyone know how much he means by 9000 pesos? What are girls going for in Havana?

[Nomars777]

That's super funny, going to use that one!


Alot of Cuban girls carry the new Russian VD called "Rotchacockoff".

[Nomars777]

So, $100 * 310 = 31,000 Cuban Pesos (CUP).

9,000 CUP / 310 = $29 USD (say 30 USD for easy math) - this was a common price quoted for anything less than 1 hour in the sack. I sometimes got 1-2 hours for this price, but if I was with them that long, it was because I really enjoyed their company and generally gave them $40 or a little more for that time.

What I realized when I was there the 3rd time especially, was that the girls really prefer receiving USD, even if you give them an equivalent in CUP. So I decided not to change much USD to CUP, but just use USD for the girls, and even in restaurants and bars where they were offering "street" exchange rates, basically anything approaching 300:1 (my personal cutoff was 275, it was close enough). Many, many places you could order food or drinks, pay in USD, then get a nice chunk of pesos back in exchange for use with tricycle cabs, buying waters, snacks, tips, etc.

Made it easier and I wasn't constantly running around getting change, or getting a mountain of pesos at the beginning and being stuck with them on departure day.

But just go with what is easiest for you.

Where I was changing my money, they were consistently giving me 5 pesos above whatever was on El Toque so right about now I'd expect to get 345 in that place. Look into my "Day 1" post which goes into detail about how to get the best rates. It's super easy.

There are conflicting opinions on whether you should be paying in CUP or USD but I can only speak on my experience. I cut my teeth mongering in Santo Domingo where I only pay in Dominican pesos, so I just carried that same M. O. Over to Cuba. I never had an issue.

My reasoning is this: When I change my money to pesos, I know the rate that I got. When I'm at a restaurant, I have no idea what rate they're going to decide to use for USD and on all of the bills I received, the number that they quoted in dollars on the bill was always higher than what I was paying in CUP. Now, was it a big difference? No, maybe a $4-$6 swing each way, but it adds up and I'm not in the business of giving away free money. Like the previous poster said, evaluate your options and do what works best for you.

Best,

KingSanto.

Day 4:

So I wake up feeling pretty good. I had plans to meet up with slim girl again today so I wasn't pressed. I'm a little hungry and still have a lot of Cuban pesos from when I changed it the day before so I'm not worried about my money levels yet.

I walk down the street to a restaurant named "El Idilio". Chill, outdoor vibe. I get a coke, water, pork ribs (massive, massive amount of ribs), fries and rice; 5800 pesos (18.41 at the 315 rate I had gotten the day before). Nice staff. I didn't really like the ribs but I think it was more of an expectation problem. I was expecting BBQ ribs. Now I understand that if the menu doesn't say "BBQ Ribs" then it's probably not BBQ ribs LOL. Still, I can tell it was a good place because the other dishes that people were having looked delicious.

Anyway, I pay my bill and head back home. I hit up the pro that I hit on Day 2 and have her come over for another 9000 pesos ( 28.57 at that 315 rate which is the money I'm using now). I send her a La Nave from Havana Vieja for 1100 pesos. Similar to when I'm in Santo Domingo, I prefer to send them the transportation because then I know exactly when they're going to arrive / if they're coming at all which greatly assists with planning. She arrives, we do the deed, I pay her and send her on her way - 900 pesos for the La Nave back to her place.

Slim girl (non pro) is getting ready to come over so I take a La Nave over to Papi Rey to exchange some more money, I'm almost out LOL. I head in and ask the rate, it's 320 now. Nice. I trust them at this point and it's my last day so I change $150 for 48 K pesos. Just in case I need to spend extra tonight, plus some wiggle room for my La Nave back to the airport in the morning. Once slim girl is ready, she sends me her location and I send her the La Nave like clockwork, remember she's pretty far away so it's 2700 pesos, no issues there. She arrives and I'm hungry again so I decide we should go out to eat.

We hop in a La Nave over to a jazz themed restaurant named "Habana Blues" and man this restaurant is fire. Excellent atmosphere, excellent decor and apparently popular because we had to wait a few minutes before they could seat us. Chicken fajitas appetizer, Tostones Appetizer, full pizza for her, fish dipped in lemon sauce for me, chocolate cake w / ice cream dessert, 2 beers, 2 malt drinks and a water - 10 K pesos. Cuba is so cheap its absolutely blowing my mind man. We decide to walk back to the AirBnB because slim girl really feels like I'm wasting money on short La Nave trips LOL such a sweet girl. Unbelievable.

Get back to the AirBnB and do the deed (keep in mind I haven't given this girl a dime yet). We chill out and she helps me pack my things for the trip the next day. We fall asleep, wake up at 5 AM. I still have like 35 K pesos so I give her one of the 10 K bands. She's confused and doesn't want to take it. I'm like relaaxxxx go get your hair done with it or something. She reluctantly puts it in her purse. I give the AirBnB host my last cigar because something was telling me not to take it to America with me (more on that later). I send slim girl home in a La Nave and then take a 10 K peso La Nave to the airport.

All in all, for my first ever trip, I consider it successful. Didn't hit as many girls as I normally do in Santo but I'm a veteran there so I wasn't expecting the same results. The potential of Cuba is clear to me and I'll be back very soon.

I should also mention that when I got back to America. While going through Global Entry. I was pulled aside for secondary screening (surprise, surprise). They took my phones and laptop, my passport and driver's license. I gave them the passwords to my phones (I travel with 4 of them thangs) and my laptop and they put me in a room by myself for about an hour. I suspect that I got flagged because I'm normally in Santo every two weeks and then suddenly I took a detour to Cuba. After about an hour, they come back with all my stuff and say they're returning my property. I guess they didn't find whatever they were looking for. Then they search all my bags (thank God I didn't take that last cigar with me. Always trust your gut! After searching my bags and finding nothing they sent me on my way. Strange.

All flights to my home city were cancelled due to the snowstorm raging across the USA So I decided to call an audible and actually flew back to Santo for a day (it's funny, I spent more money in Santo in a day and a half than I did my entire Cuba trip, so that gives you an idea of the differences in prices). When I got back from Santo the day after next, customs pulled me to the side again, took my phones again and searched my bags again. Damn, why'all really hate Cuba huh? LOL. Anyway, all is well and I'm back now. All of the airport headaches were worth it though. I will definitely be back to Cuba, I don't care how many times customs wants to persecute me over it.

Best,

KingSanto.

10 days ago when I was in Havana, Cuba I was getting 330 CUP for $1 USD. I've heard it as high as 340 CUP /1 USD. It's not hard to do. People are all over exchanging money. Request Cuban peso bills of larger denomination (200,500 and 1000) to avoid too much change and counterfeits.

I have now moved on to Colombia and enjoying life. I took a direct flight from Havana straight to Bogota. From there you can catch a flight to any major point in Colombia.

[MongerHunger]

During a recent trip (within 2 weeks) to Havana revealed once again that some target rich areas were San Rafael, Parque Central and Prado with San Rafael taking the lead. Chill out and grab a table and a drink near Brule 66 on San Rafael and they will come or you can take a stroll. I do both. Parque Central was completely dark at night with none of the lights in the park working. Also here's a bonus nugget for you, during the weekends I would hit La Feria in the area over on Galiano between Simon Bolivar and Neptuno. Everytime I went to La Feria I had all I could handle so I had to pick and choose who to take. Some good eye candy there too.

In regards to the La Nave ride share app, I used it. Here is an example, I took the basic ride from near Parque Fe del Valle to Miramar and it came out to 1900 CUP. On the way back I used a taxi and it was only 700 CUP. I also got quoted a ridiculous amount to go to the airport so I just stuck with the $20 USD from Havana to the Airport. I would have used the bus from Parque Central to the Airport but my flight was too early. The first bus picks up at 10:40 am.

I don't bother with the hotels. I always do Airbnb or Casa Particulars. It's much better IMO and I always have a few chicas cooking traditional Cuban food for me and let them take the rest home so they tend to cook a lot.

I've been using my Cubacel sim card for about 3 years now. That's the advantage of knowing locals and not just running around chasing tail like you're a pervert. It's easy to load online and cheap. Sim card last about a year so that is correct.

There is an abundance of talent in Havana if you are doing the right thing in the right places. I advise not to seek out and hang around Gringos or foreigners of the likes. Save that for when you get back home. Only spend Cuban Pesos whenever you can and limit spending Dollars, Euros or Pounds. You'll thank me later for that advice. My next move is to get the Cuban spending cards to use at the Tiendas Cardenas and load it with foreign currency. Also there has been some business opportunities open up for me. There is benefits in knowing the right people.

Sim card last about a year so that is correct. I wanted to clarify this. The Cubacel sim card that is available to locals (Not the Tourist Sim) will work almost for 1 year (I think 335 days) if it is not reloaded and then it will expire. I have been loading my card before it expires and I can confirm that as long as you are reloading the Sim Card before the expiration it will continue to work. Reloading online is possible. If you are going to frequent Cuba I suggest that you get the right Sim Card. Not the Gringo Tourist Sim Card.
