Thank you for your content. Just returned from Cuba and your information was very helpful. I understood the currency conversion, I expected the small Cuban peso bills and knew not to change too much USD to pesos. I also brought several bottles of water and was ready for the power outages (which happened) and shortages of food items when eating out. Your channel is very informative.

now (march 2024) for 1 USD they gonna pay you more than 300 pesos in the informal market (streets), NEVER EVER exchange your USD in the banks because as the guy says, cuba is different from any other country, you may wants to go exchange your money in the bank but you gonna get much less of the amount you'll get in the streets, in the hotels.

Salient advice! My Cuban-American friends proved to be an invaluable resource prior to a five date business related trip to Cuba. They shared much of the same information. I learned how and why it was far better to gift a family one or two plastic pocket combs, a toothbrush, and an acceptable dog-eared paperback novel with occasional US dollar bill “bookmarks” tucked between the worn pages - as opposed to what I imagined would be the far more generous gift of a $50 bill adorned by the visage of Ulysses S Grant. It is indeed important to understand the reality behind that which seems contradictory to an overwhelming number of US Americans and Western Europeans who enjoy the luxury of traveling to faraway lands.

Anyone else who goes to Cuba and complains that it is not 5 star, deserves to have a miserable time. It is really common knowledge that this country struggles, especially with supplies due to embargoes (no fault of their own). Cuba has genuinely nice people and they work hard for peanuts. They serve you up food and drinks that they themselves would never be able to afford, much less have access to. Their beaches are gorgeous. Anyone travelling there need to leave their sense of entitlement at home. Enjoy the weather and hospitality. If you want 5 star and gourmet meals, then don't go to Cuba. If you want a nice beach, a cold drink and nice people and don't care about the frills, then you will love it and you will keep going back. I have seen people raging that there wasn't eggs for a few days, and no coke. They complained the sand was too soft. Seriously. No eggs and soft sand, and they lost their minds and trashed the resort.

He gave us a great tour, we ate at fabulous restaurants, saw the real Havana and experienced life as Cubans. Highly recommend Alex and his company. Note: bring USD. Get as many $1 bills for tips as you want to spend and the rest in small bills $5,10,20 for meals. they do take Canadian money, but prefer USD. Cheers

I am so confused with the money situation….I am coming to Varadero next month for 9 days and staying at the Melia Internacional. Should I take $1 USD bills with me for tipping then? Also I am taking Canadian Dollars with me. For example if I go to a store say in the Varadero Mall what are the items priced as USD or CUP? If I want to pay in Canadian Dollars do they exchange the money right in the store? And I guess you have to have the exact amount because I have heard lots of stores can’t give you change back? Is this true…? Very confusing!🤦🏻‍♀️😂 Thanks very much sharing your tips with us (dumb) tourists…🤪 Blessings send from Canada🙏🏼♥️👋🏼🇨🇦 Can’t wait to visit your beautiful country….☺️Oops, this message was for Alex(or maybe you can answer some of my questions….Thanks in advance!👌🏼)

@@McChrister We brought 100 US $1 bills for tipping and about $500 USD for meals outside the hotel, excursions, taxis etc. We also brought Canadian $400. Make sure your bring bills in good shape, no rips, little wear and no bank stamps. Don’t bring Canadian coins, good as a bag of rocks to Cubans as their bank won’t accept them. Right now, you will need a Canadian bank credit card to pay for any services at the hotel. Anywhere else USD is king. They will accept Canadian but they will convert your money to the USD rate and you will lose about 30% value. There is a huge underground economy the US$ is favoured. Have a great trip.

Im currently in Cuba. Im on a solo last day of a 7 day all inclusive trip. Im staying in Varadaro. Im staying at the resorts Valentin El Patriarca. The resort is old. The rooms need to be renovated. They food options are limited, and the customer service is not great. There are a few individuals who are genuine and provide great customer service. But for the most part this resort is plagued with limitations and you will experience some level of attitude when you seek clarification. The beach is nice, but no snacks (fries, nichos, chips etc.) If you get hungry outside of buffet times, you only have access to meat burgers and a small amount of fries. Im a pescatarian and when I would request an order of only fries, I would get a small plate with maybe 10 - 15 room temperature fries accompanied by a drop of ketchup and mustard 😒. The cleaners use a dirty mop on the room floor, they dont change bed linings for your stay, and are reluctant to change towels daily. The food is not bad at this resort, but almost everything else is enough for me to confidentiality say, I would never stay at this resort again. I have been to Cuba twice before this visit, and it was not this bad. So I am open to visiting cuba again in the future just gonna stay far away from this place.

Just came back from a trip to Cuba. Had an amazing time going to Cienfuegos, Topes de collantes, Trinidad, a bit of Varadero and only a day trip to Havana. Definitely will be back. Cienfuegos was very clean and chill, Topes was AMAZING and very beautiful, Trinidad you could see would be more fun when it is busier, Havana also, but I felt like we did not even scratch the surface. Exchanging money on the street was no problem, Euro and USD definitely was preferred over CAD, seemed to get a better rate.

I think your description of Cuba is very accurate. Yeah. After having a tour guide, I feel bad talking about what I have experienced in the resort. Service, food, people. Resorts are actually government owned. They have 53% ownership. In a way. It feels like staying in the resort is supporting the government. Beach is beautiful! Water is beautiful. But with food at a resort, you should have a mentality of finding the best they have to offer during your visit and stick with the same type of food for the rest of your time. I am still trying to understand why the chefs inside a resort really don't seem to know how to cook. Fundamental errors. Like over or undercooked meat. Lack of spices is another thing that I have to take it with a grain of salt(quite literally). For my visit. Ala Carte was a waste of time. I stick with stew gravy on rice at the buffet. Seems that all resorts have a grill next to the pool or beach. I say your best bet is to only eat there. And pick the best veggie or fruits that they have to offer from buffet. But in general, you won't be satisfied with the food at the resort. Maybe better from a few years ago.

Some say tip in Canadian, others say you can't use coins, which would mean a minimum tip of $5 Cdn. I also have no idea how much we should expect to tip while there.

If you are an American, your credit and debit cards will not work, and you will not be able to make any bank transfers. Do not believe stories about certain stores or resorts allowing American credit or debit cards. These are circumstances where someone is working some black market angle, and it won't last and you won't be able to find it anyway. There are agencies in the US that transfer money to Cuba. They charge 20% commission.

I speak relatively good Spanish and understand the culture being there once before however, why do you recommend not having plans? I plan to just get on a plane and go.

Don't go to Cuba, I've been 7 times. It's gone downhill a lot. If you only want to eat chicken, pork, cheese and rice for a week straight then ok, they have no vaccum cleaners anywhere so every carpet in a hotel has never been cleaned, hotel national has cockroaches, the workers don't care about your stay because they make 20-60 dollars per month, they will beg you for tips and money. The streets are moldy and dirty, the Chinese have bought any goods cigar and the stores just have 2022 boxes nothing old or decent. The new currency and pricing is a pain and most hotels ( national and other nice hotels) will want you to pay with credit card because they are hurting for USD. Cuba isn't the same as the last time I went, you'll be happier going somewhere else warm. It's not the cuban peoples fault, I don't even think it's the embargo, it's the cuban government needs to fix it's economy and bring in some type of manufacturing or industry, they need to fix how it's people are paid and the food for it's people. It's a giant mess that's slowly falling apart more and more. The history is nice, but once you've seen it once or twice I feel like you're better off going somewhere else warm. Please don't let the scammers scam you by taking you to their friends restaurant, or exchange money on the street and get ripped off, use your street smarts if you do go.

Not really. Cubans can get things shipped to Cuba from the USA or other countries. I have a Cuban friend who’s this is his job to important goods. Cuban people for the most part can’t afford to import things. Why do you think the government is finally accepting USD and asking you to pay with MLC and USD now. The government just wants to keep control over its people and will control how the country progresses by its own terms. They are good friends with China and most of the goods we get in North America are from China. The embargo is the old way of thinking of the problem. That’s what the Cuban government wants you to think. My importer Cuban friend told me it’s about $2000 to get an empty seacan shipped from China to Cuba. If the Cuban people had money I’m sure the whole country would change. But a large majority of them work for the government who sets their wages.

What do you recommend if I have a photography assignment in Cuba as far as entering with camera, flashes, and a couple of stands? Will there be any problems in and out of the airport with this photo equipment?

No problem at all but I'd recommend you bringing all the assignments, papers, etc. Just in case, remember you can't bring drones

@imcurrentlyin Yes I know drones are absolutely not allowed. As far as the papers, I will be shooting a hotel for about 4 days. So I would have a letter from the hotel stating that I will be shooting there?

99% are happy ? A lot of the tourists in the comments complain, but cubans are happy with the crumbs they get. I happen to know some Cubans and they’re not exactly happy. I’m listening to podcasts and they’re desperate to get out but it’s almost impossible. They earn nothing and have no priveledges like tourists do. They’re being abused and the government is downright wicked. But the Cubans got nothing and are still happy. Yeah, off course.

Cuban here, I suggest you bring there american dollars, and change them in the informal market (never with the banks). Bring a lot of water and when you're there only drink bottled water or any kind of drink but always sealed (you're not ready for their water). Be careful with the prices, right now is ≈ 340 pesos for 1 dollar, so, in summer probably 370 or 400. If you need any other help just let me know, Im glad to help you

Really? Be honest now... Latin American countries may have poverty, but if you have $$$ you can buy anything you want or need. In Cuba, even with $$$, the lack of EVERYTHING, means you cannot..! I was in Havana (the Capital), I saw an ice cream store... so I asked for an ice cream... the attendant said "Sorry we don't have any), not vanilla, not strawberry, not chocolate, NOTHING..! I went to a large "Store" to buy a light bulb. Easy enough right? Not in Cuba! I took a taxi in search for a light bulb, 5 hours later and many stops at different "Stores", NOTHING..! Even with MONEY, the simplest and most basic things most of us take for granted, becomes an impossible odyssey... In my experience... Cuba is not like any other country I know..! It's another Planet..!

I hope people boycott Cuba until they can turn things around because the whole country is one big scam.
