Can a cuban girl stay in any hotel overnite, That is with a tourist. And can they go to any hotel in cuba. As i heard, a cuban can stay at the hotel but you have to pay around 35 pesos for them to spend the day But they cannot sleep there.
I have stayed in hotels in the past with a Cuban girl who was my platonic friend. Some of the lower end hotels would allow Cubans in if the security guard got his payment to look the other way. Now however, it seems like Cubans can become guest at any resort or hotel so long as their way is paid. At least that is what I am to understand by Raul's latest announcement regarding this matter. You are right Halfwaytree, Cubans men or women can now stay in any hotels like any other customer.
As long as they can pay, they can stay without any problem. They can go on a day pass, stay for a day, a week, they are customer like any others.
While they are now allowed to stay in the hotels, the majority of them will not be able to afford to. This means most will only be able to stay if paid for by a tourist. If they are stating at the hotels with tourists, their names will be in the hotels' official register indicating as such. I believe a day pass there is 20 CUC's. I was sitting at a bar with a Cuban guy I had met, he was singing and playing his guitar for a couple of tourists. He was taken to the police station and given a warning.
Another time, as I was waiting for the bus to the airport, I went for a last stroll on the beach. I struck up a conversation with a girl, and a few minutes later a police officer popped up out of nowhere and fined her. They are not charged with fornicating, they are charged with communicating. I believe they get a warning, then a fine and then jail time. Pretty harsh. Travman, sorry but there is no fine for communicating with tourist.
