Visited Cuba for 10 days. Solid experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing fair.
Spent $108/day. Best part: ease of arranging.
Overall: 7.5/10. Solid destination.
AMA.
Is Cuba worth visiting?

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $92/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: midweek is golden hour.

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

This is outdated info IMO.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

I was there in February and prices were great value.
Spent about $117/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: go early evening for best selection.

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

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

Did you use the local sites or find girls at bars?
