Just got back from my first trip to Cuba. Overall a good trip but the number of bad things outweigh the good things.
The bad- food, hotels, mosquitos, language barrier, scammers, little internet, no newspapers and you have to negoiate for most everything.
The good- beautiful women, low prices for everything and it is a very safe country.
I did not take them up on their offers but I had a taxi driver in Havana quote me a lady for $100/day and another in Varadero quote me $50/day. The place is full of rip off artists but I got the feeling these drivers were being honest but it is quite hard to tell. Need to go back and do more research.
