Visited Cuba for 7 days. Solid experience. Scene is active. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $86/day. Best part: variety.
Overall: 9/10. Exceeded expectations.

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

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

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

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.
