Havana

[QUOTE=Crack Baby]What if we aren't looking for prostitutes? Just hot girls that would love a foreign wealthy boyfriend (I am young and attractive, but East Indian. American accent)?

I'm specifically looking for hot blondes, do these exist in Cuba? I only ask versus europe because Cuba is so much closer and cheaper to where I am (Canada).

Is no Spanish a big barrier to this plan?[/QUOTE]There are no stupid questions.

Only stupid people who ASK questions.

[QUOTE=Travelling Gring]Amigos,

Some Mexican clown has rented my regular casa for the rest of the year, so now I need to find a substitute casa for my one month visit in September/October.

Hoping some of you fellow-veterans can help me out.

My regular casa in Vedado is a rare jewel. The owner does not even live there. It is the only place I have found with that beautiful set-up, but I know there are others around.

Needless to say, I am not one of those idiots who take advantage of good casa-setups. I know the ropes, and am discreet in any way. Also, I would always respect that anyone who helps me would have first pick on the casa in the future. That is my own rule # 1 for the few people I have given my own casa info to.

TG[/QUOTE]Shoot me a pm and I'll steer you in the right direction.

Could use some help for recommendations for Casas as well. Looking for one in Havana. A casa with an e-mail would be best so that I can make arrangements prior to landing. Just looking for a 1 time deal. First time in Cuba and I doubt I'll have the chance to be back for a long time. Any help would be much appreciated.

Just to add to my previous post. Has anyone used the website cubaaccomodation to book casas? Looks like it has a ton of options but not sure why but I got a bad feeling about booking through them.

[QUOTE=Dave_Far]Just to add to my previous post. Has anyone used the website cubaaccomodation to book casas?

Some funny, some not so funny.

I'd say the best website, in my experience, is casaparticular.org. The guys name is Tony, he's from Miami and speaks English, and he always delivers. His email address is [email]tony@casaparticular.org[/email].

In regards to Cuba Accomodation, every time I tried to use them, they would confirm with me, ask me for banking info, which never happens in Cuba, then on the day before my trip, I'd get an email that they were changing the casa. I would recommend not using them. But if you insist, I hope you have better luck than I did.

I've been reading reports of the country trying to sell oil to pay for nickel mining debts. But no AC in the heat of the summer is ridulous, can anyone confirm this? Is already 3 showers a day in August but its crazy. They have Ice for the Mojitos?

Can anyone confirm the reports?

I have been reading similarly but power conservation during summer months has been a fact of life on the island. The Cubans have always endured the heat but some gringos just can't live without the AC.

It is August and it is the Carribean. What else did you expect ?

I just returned from 10 days in Havana a week ago. I stayed at a casa in Vedado near the Habana Libre.
The first night I was there we had several power outages that lasted 30 mins or less. Other than that I never had any problems with AC or hot water.

New power consumption regulations only applies to AC in public offices. Not in hotel, resorts, private casas.

I was recently in Cuba for a few days...here's a trip report.

AIRPORT

I arrived from CUN on a Cubana flight. Cubana runs 1 flight each way per day. The price is $270 for the flight and $18 for the tourist card. This price includes Mexican taxes.

I asked, and you can usually make reservations up to the day before you want to fly. That is, they are rarely sold out. And the good thing is that (unlike US airlines), the price does not seem to change much...at least with this promotion.

Here's the process for an American making a Cubana reservation:

1. E-mail Veronica Sanchez with the Cubana Cancun branch at [email]reservaciones1@cubanacancun.com[/email]. Tell her your itinerary. She will probably ask you for your passport number too. I wrote her in Spanish, but I imagine someone there knows English.

2. When you get to Cancun, go to the Cubana offices and pay the $288. The Cubana offices are located here:

Av.Tulum 232
sm4 mza12
Edificio Cancun Towers
Cubana de Aviacion
Tels 887 7210 y 8877017

Taxi from the Zona Hotelera in CUN is around $10 each way, less if you negotiate. My taxi driver had some problems finding it. It's on the corner, on the first floor of a two-story office building.

You go in and tell them you have a reservation. I had a copy of my e-mails to Veronica. Then you wait for a seemingly endless amount of time until they press every button on their keyboard, and you finally pay them. You can pay in USD.

They will give you a confirmed itinerary.

3. You bring the itinerary to the airport and get your boarding pass. Simple as that.

Cubana planes are old and crappy. The flight is not smooth. Good thing the flight is only 50 minutes.

Upon return, I politely asked the Mexican customs guy not to stamp my passport. I didn't try to bribe him though. He said he had to stamp it. I asked him to stamp it on a different page than the original stamp, and he asked me which page. So I had him stamp it on a page with a lot of other stamps. He was a good guy.

The standard taxi rate from the airport to Vedado (and probably anywhere else) is 20 CUC.

Remember: The airport tax is 25 CUC, so factor that into your equation. Also, don't lose your tourist card.

LODGING

I use [url]http://www.cubaccommodation.com[/url] for my lodging. Send an e-mail to [email]booking@cubaccommodation.com[/email] and Alejandro will hook you up. I tell him exactly what I want, and he finds it for me. I am also clear that I want the place to be 100% chica friendly. He passes this info along to the owner so there are no surprises when I arrive.

This time, I told Alejandro that I wanted an entire house to myself. He found me a nice house near John Lennon park with 2 bedrooms for 45 CUC, and the entire house was to myself. The owners lived in another house at the back of the property, and I didn't see them unless I called them and needed something.

I am very aware that 45 CUC in August is high. I was paying for two rooms and a completely private house, and this casa is much nicer than any I had been in. Nice and spacious, good A/C, TV, hot water, everything. The casa owner was very cool too about the girls. She explained that they take the names and ID numbers of the girls for my safety but they don't register them. At night, she has a security guy there (from 10 pm to 7 am). His name was Bruno.

I don't want to post the casa information here, but if you want it e-mail me and I'll get it to you. The owner asked me to pass along the information to you guys. She doesn't have an e-mail though so contacting Alejandro may be best. I can give you her phone number, though. She speaks good English.

GUIDE

Based on the recommendations of another forum member, I used a guide/driver named Jorge on the first night. He was supposed to pick my up from the airport, but it turns out he doesn't even have a car. He showed up at the airport for some reason anyway. That night, we went out and he found me a chica (see below) at a decent price, but all I did for him was buy him a couple of drinks. He was a little bit of a scammer, I think. Gave me bad vibes, so I stayed away for the rest of the trip. No harm, no foul. If you want his number, I have that too. But you probably don't want his number.

CHICAS...

I arrived about 5pm, met the guide, went to the casa, and went out. We went to a bar that he described as "Robin bar" and "Hemingway's Other Bar" I believe the sign outside said Conjelitas or something like that. It was in Vedado, about 3 blocks from Salon Rojo. Hopefully someone knows this place and can clear it up.

There were a number of tourists and some Cubans. The guide then went outside to look for a girl and he came back with Leila. She was a 21-year-old mulatta, very tiny and skinny, no kids. She was very scared about the police and didn't want to go out after that. We went back to the casa for 50 CUC TLN.

Leila is crazy and rode me for literally 30 minutes straight without stopping. It was unreal. Very good service. The only complaint is no DFK.

The next night, I went to the Hotel Nacional to make some phone calls then took a walk. Salon Rojo was hopping. Entrance was 10 CUC. I didn't go in. Then, as I was walking, I ran into Leila again. Imagine that. I took her back to my place for another TLN.

The next night, I was determined to see other sights. I went to El Turquino on the top of the Habana Libre. Entrance 10 CUC for non-hotel guests, but you could easily bypass this by lying. Maybe this was a bad night, but all I could see were tourists. None of this top model nonsense. Now, maybe this was all on the second floor of the Haban Libre and not the top floor, but I thought that the really good action was on the top floor. Not so much. But pretty panoramic view of the city and a good band. I stayed there for a couple of hours and left. Drinks expensive (6 CUC for cuba libre).

It is true that the girls on the street will typically not even look at you. However, around La Rampa and the Habana Libre, especially at night, you'll get some stares from the pros. It would be easy to pick them up. I mention this here because I regret not having talked to a girl I saw outside the Habana Libre as I was leaving.

Anyway, I got in a cab and went to Salon Rojo. It was PMM (no live music), so cover was just 5 CUC. Some decent looking girls, but you could tell they were all pros. I talked to a few who immediately wanted to leave, but didn't mention any prices. I decided to leave.

I then went to El Cantante. There were a lot of people. It was kind of dark and dingy, and there were a few good looking girls, but not a lot. This is a place for darker looking girls it seems.

I decided to go home and call Leila up again. You just can't go wrong there.

Leila gave me both her number and e-mail, but unfortunately I left them both in Havana. I regret this immensely.

TAXI DRIVERS

Taxi drivers are the biggest thieves in Havana. Their meters are always located behind their mirrors, and they always adjust either their mirror to cover it. If you ask them to use their mirror, they will try to negotiate with you. Now I know that paying 2-3 CUC when the fare is 1-2 CUC is not a huge deal, but I just hate how they take advantage of tourists.

EUROPEANS

There seemed to be fewer European guys there with hot girls this time around. I don't know if I just came at a bad time or what. It was definitely low season, and the global economic slump is definitely taking a toll.

INTERNET

To access the Internet, just go to a hotel. You can buy cards for 30 minutes for 5 CUC at the Melia Cohiba or Hotel Nacional. Probably the other hotels too, but I haven't checked. The Internet seems to have gotten faster since the last time I was in Cuba a year ago. All of the Cuban Internet terminals that I used seem to run the same tarjeta system. The Internet at the airport is REALLY fast (by Cuban standards).

GENERAL IMPRESSIONS

I like going to Cuba, but it's a pain in the butt for an American. The added cost of buying multiple plane tickets, the nervousness about passing U.S. customs, the potential for having your money stolen or losing your money and having no way of getting more money. It's all a pain. Also, not being able to have the things your used to is not fun, paying up the butt for calling the U.S. sucks, and paying 5 CUC at hotels for (relatively slow) Internet access makes you cringe. Oh, yeah...Cuba is hot too.

But there is something romantic about Cuba, and the Cuban women really do know how to please. Compared to a number of years ago, things are expensive. But on the whole, Cuba is still a better value than alternative places such as Costa Rica. I will return at least once a year until the embargo is lifted.

If you haven't ever been to Cuba and are contemplating a trip, I would DEFINITELY recommend it. Just (1) plan ahead, and (2) know that there will be some bumps and inconveniences along the way. Definitely worth it.

Very nice report Smokers. Leila is a winner. I've always had bad luck with cubaaccomodations. They always would change my reservation on the day before my trip and ask me to send money. I've always had great luck with Tony at casaparticular.org.

I too was in Havana last weekend. Man was it hot. I normally stay closer to the action. But I know that house and it's nice.

Sorry we couldn't meet up. I've used CA three times now and he's never asked me for money up front. Weird. Yes, it was VERY hot last weekend.

El Conjelitas is a place where the pros and semi pros hang out.

Canitas is on the 2nd floor of the Habana Libre. It is hit or miss but when there are girls there are alot of girls. anywhere that is costs $10 to get in will be for pros or semi pros.

Havana is hot as fuck in August. But the mongering is fucking excellent.

Arrival and Check In:

I arrived in the afternoon and checked into my casa. The casa owner seemed a little nutty, but nothing too unusual. I went to the Focsa building to get some beverages for the fridge. While there, I saw a really hot girl working there in her mini-skirt uniform. I realized I only had 50cuc bills and went to the counter to ask for change. The girl said she wasn't supposed to break the bill, but would if I'd buy her a beer. I told her I would buy her two if she would introduce me to the girl I had my eye on since walking in. She called her over and I began to chat her up. We went outside and exchanged info. She said she got off at 8pm and could meet me then. As I was only a block away.

Yadira showed up at my house in her cute little uniform and asked where I'd like to go. I told her we could just stay at my casa. She at once realized what I was offering and in a blink switched to business mode and asked how much I wanted to pay her. I countered with the same question, to which she replied 30? . I told her that was fine. I had to argue a little for the BBBJ, but otherwise she had a great body and was pretty affectionate in bed.

Afterward, I gave her 35cuc and asked her to smile for my camera. She very adamatley insisted that I not take pictures. Sorry fellas.

What I absolutely love about Cuba is that you can do shit like this on a daily basis. Nowhere else can you get an everyday grocery store girl to come fuck you after her shift for 35cuc.

First Night: Stretch

After sending my mercado girl on her way with some well earned overtime pay, I took a nap, a shower, and went to my favorite place on earth. The Candy Store. I arrived at La Canitas a little early, it was only 11pm. Only a few girls were there and I decided to grab a bottle of water and a table. Shortly afterward, a petite mulata came in and sat at the table next to mine. I loved her body and invited her over to sit with me. She reminded me of a girl who worked in my office when I lived in LA some years ago. Who I always wanted to fuck.

Being that Cuba is taking the global downturn especially hard, prices for the ladies is quite reasonable. She started at 50cuc, I countered at 40cuc, she agreed. Then I asked if I could get a second pop, she said I could for 50cuc. I jokingly asked if I could get a third pop for 60cuc, she actually thought about it.

Yey-something was really good in bed. She had that little mulata body that I like so much. And wasn't shy about sharing it while seeking her own pleasure.

I sent Yey-something on her way with 55 well earned pesos and called it a night at 5am.

Second Day: Now THAT'S Customer Service

On the second day, I woke up late and made coffee. The owner of the house kept coming in and out of the apartment to see what I was doing. I asked her what she needed, to which she replied she was keeping an eye on me. I asked why, she said I was American and she wanted to make sure everything would be ok with her house. I told her the US had stopped giving a shit about Cuba 40 years ago and she needed to relax. Just then the doorbell rang and it was Tony from Casaparticular.org. I had brought him some medicine and he'd dropped by to pick it up. I asked him to check the neurotic ***** that owned this casa or to find me another place. He had a short conversation with her and she went back into her room.

Tony and I chatted for a while and made plans to meet later and go out. Then I went to La Roca for lunch.

While having lunch, I noticed a hot waitress walking around. I finally crossed glances with her and gave her a flirtacious glance. She walked over and asked if I needed anything, I told her she was really cute and asked what time she got off. She said 4pm. Which was two hours later. I asked her if she wanted to meet me then, she told me to give her my phone number and she would call later. I gave her my Cuban cell and had written it off as a blow-off.

I went back to my casa and took a nap. I was woken by my cell phone shortly after 4pm. I was groggy and didn't remember giving her my number for a minute. She asked me if I wanted to see her, I said of course. She said she could come to my casa, but would need me to give her a little gift. I told her fine.

She arrived shortly afterward and came in. She was wearing street clothes at this point. I had hoped to strip her uniform off, to no avail.

She asked what little gift I planned to give her, I returned the question. She asked for 60cuc, I said that was expensive, she asked again how much my gift would be, I said 40cuc, she countered with 50cuc and we had terms.

Honestly, I have no idea what her name was or is for that matter. She gave me a decent uncovered blowjob, followed by acceptable sex. When she left, I went back to sleep until Tony called later to make plans to pick me up.

Second Night: A Friend of A Friend

Tony came by and picked me up at 10pm and we went to the Nacional to meet my friend Yamil and his wife for coffee.

He told me about a club I should check out named La Cecelia in Miramar.

We arrived at La Cecelia in Miramar and I was immediately impressed. There were roughly 500 people at this outdoor disco. TONS of hot working girls, and great live music.

Tony and I found a table and sat down for a while. Had a few drinks and watched the show. Once the show was over, we started the interview process. There were some very pretty girls in play this particular night and I tried to interview as many as I could. Most were in the 50-60cuc range. I finally found a winner in Dyanna. I negotiated 2 pops for 60cuc. We were off to my casa.

When we arrived, there was some back and forth about paying before or afterward. She finally gave in and got undressed.

Dyanna and I jumped in the shower togither and rinsed off, as it was very hot at the disco. Once she got undressed, she looked so good I had to go down on her. After a few minutes, she returned the favor and then slid me in. She had a tight, wet box and I went at it for a while. I finally blew on her stomach and handed her my shirt to wipe off the leche. Back into the shower she went.

A short break and I was back at it. I pounded her for a good half hour, but couldn't get a nut. I finally gave up and paid her 70cuc for the beating. We sat on my bed for a while chatting until she got up and put her clothes on. While she was putting on her lipstick, we were playing around and I felt like giving it the old college try again. So I pushed on my bed, pulled one pant leg off of her, and fucked her hard for about 4-5 minutes before I found the elusive leche.

A pretty girl and a great sport.
