Visited Cuba for 10 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is active. Pricing excellent value.
Spent $79/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 8/10. Solid destination.

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

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at clubs?

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

I was there in March and prices were great value.
Spent about $94/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: avoid weekends.
