Has anyone been to Cuba recently? Looking for the latest intel.

Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Apps or platforms to use

I was there last year and had a good time. Wondering if things have changed.

Any recent trip reports would be helpful.

Cheers

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Word of caution — be careful with street touts. Other than that, great destination.

Adding my experience: scene has evolved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: some old spots closed.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

Different experience for me. Prices were about the same when I went.
