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
- Best hotels near the scene

I was there a while back and had a mixed 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.

I was there in February and prices were great value. Spent about $80/day all-in.

My tip: try the local spots away from tourists.
