Visited Cuba for 12 days. Great experience. Scene is active. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $88/day. Best part: GFE quality.
Overall: 9/10. Solid destination.

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

How long did it take to feel comfortable and find the good spots?

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $121/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

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