Visited Cuba for 10 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is active. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $149/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 7.5/10. Would return.
AMA.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

I'd also recommend downloading WhatsApp before you go. Essential.
