Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone here has gone to Cuba by themselves? My friends are all busy and I really need to get away from it all and let loose. Even if I go it alone.

What are the hot spots in Cuba to go to if you are by yourself? Any other spot other than Varadero? I would like to find a hotel that is within walking distance of all the popular night clubs and bars.

Also, of course, would like to take a chance at meeting some fine looking chicas. I heard that they don't allow locals into the hotels. What are my options if I happen to meet a couple of chicas on my trip and feel like doing the naked rumba?? :D

Thanks,

Max
 
I have been to Cuba many times with the wife. I also went to Beaches Varadero with a buddy with the intent of meeting up with some female companionship (Beaches was highly recommended as having a lot of singles action).

At Beaches there were only a handful of singles, and the Cuban hotel staff were all over them 24x7, which the ladies seemed to really enjoy. There is a very popular disco near the Caves (can't remember the name) not far from Beaches but not within walking distance. It's very popular with the locals and guests as well. If you can't dance it's difficult to make any progress with the ladies. Once the Cuban men cut in and show off their dancing skills, it's all over!

Having said that, my friend and I did pick up 2 women hitchhikers on the way back from Havana. One was a hooker and I guess the other was her booking agent because within minutes she had negotiated a fee for a BJ from her friend. The rules around whether locals are allowed in the hotels are a bit fuzzy. I had heard that they are not, but those women we picked up said they were as long as they are with a registered hotel guest. At any rate, we didn't want them in our hotel and they were willing to transact business in the back seat. We ended up declining because they were way too pushy and quickly turned us off.

We left Cuba without having scored at all and I was quite disappointed at the low number of single females present during the week I was there. I have met a lot of nice women in Cuba when I was with the wife, but it seems to be a lot more difficult for single men to score there as there is a lot of competition from other tourists and especially the hotel staff.

I would be interested in other responses because I have the impression that Cuba is not the place your looking for.
 
Yes, I've been by myself. You'll have as much fun as you want to have.

Just be intelligent. Leave the flashy jewellery and the Rolex at home.

I've been all over Cuba and have never had a problem.

If you're white or Asian, be prepared to be approached by local Cubans who will be both curious and interested in what's brought you to their country. Be nice.

If you're black or of latin descent, you'll probably be approached more by the police who'll be wondering why you're breaking the law in some way that you don't know...hahaha. I say that because, they'll assume that you're Cuban...so if you're on a scooter or talking to women from your hotel off the hotel grounds, they'll be curious. No problem at all for you, though.

Either way, I'm sure you'll have fun. Enjoy...
 
Holguein is a good place. Go into the City to the centre square and walk around a few times after dark and it is hard not to meet someone. The hard part is finding a Casa that will allow a Cuban girl in with you. So ireally the hard part is to find a place to have fun with a girl.
 
All good advice here. Cuba is one of the safest countries to go to. You will have no problems by yourself. I would stay away from Cayo Coco if going solo, because there is really not much to do there.

One advice I will give you, and that is DO NOT fall in love with a cuban. I was stupid enough to do that, and then bring her back. Nothing but problems. There is a review board called cubaamor that will answer everything you want to know about that island. I am also a registered member on there but go by a different name. Good luck.
 
Also, if you are looking for action in cuba avoid varadero. It's the major tourist hotspot and pretty much closed off for locals unless they are working in the hotels or businesses.

I've been to cuba 14 times so if you have questions, ask or pm.
 
Holguin is a great area, but not so great in the resort areas if you are interested in hooking up with ladies. In Holguin City it is effortless to meet ladies, just go to the square in the city center, smile at a lady, and she will hop in your car. I met up with a local Canadian guy at a bar in the city center that who showed me how it was done, maybe he is on this board. That said, hooking up with ladies in Cuba is not really for the novice Cuba traveler. You have to be comfortable off the resort in this very different environment. Comfortable to drive or walk around without looking like a new tourist. It is not as easy as it sounds. Travel light, no jewelry, no fancy cloths/shoes, lots of sunscreen. Keep spending money in one pocket, and your reserve money in another. If the locals see how much money you have they will have you spend it all.

You can bring the ladies back to the resort for the day, but not overnight. It cost about 50CUC/$65CND for the day.
 
KBear you really need to branch out. Holguin is not the best place to go. In fact, it is one of the strictest cities in cuba as far as police presence is concerned. Try Santiago instead next time.

Met a few guys who were sold on Santiago, but I have not ventured out that far yet. Have only been to Holguin city twice. I have mostly been staying at a resort, renting a scooter, and spending my days traveling in the areas between Banes and Gibara. I more enjoy exploring the side roads, villages, chatting with the locals and stuff.

Venturing might do you good. :)
 
Here is the real goods

I used to work there, while the above are interesting, the only place to go is Havana.

Period end of discussion. Stay at the Hotel National, you are close of Johnies, a great pick up place, also right next to Hotel Commodro is the Havana Club, also a great spot.

I have picked up locals on Sunday afternoon and had a wonderful time all for dinner and a few drinks.

Pros are available all other nights and US$20 gets you back into your hotel.
