Anyone coming back from Holguin?

Hi Suezysue, The Cuban peso is still used in Cuba, but the US dollar is obviously more in demand. However, you’ll need to spend about 70 Canadian dollars to get 50 US dollars. It’s up to you. For the past few years, tips have been given in Canadian currency. Have a great trip,

Big thanks to you, Picua, for the info on exchanging money in Cuba. Cheers, and lucky there are such helpful forums! [;)]

Hi there, I went to Cayo Cruz last May. If you're staying at an all-inclusive, you don’t need to exchange your money. Canadian dollars are accepted. If you exchange your money into Cuban pesos (convertible pesos no longer exist), you’ll lose a lot because the exchange rate is based on the US dollar. You’ll get this info confirmed during the hotel briefing.

No proof of vaccination was asked for.

However, 48 hours before your departure, you’ll need to fill out a form online. You’ll be asked to show this form (digital or printed) upon arrival in Cuba, just before going through customs.

Have a great trip!

A big THANK YOU to you all for the info, Francy14999—so lucky there are people like you who answer our questions and guide us! [;)]

Hi,

I was at Brisas Guardalavaca from November 2nd to 12th, 2024. The temperature was perfect, but it varies from day to day. I only bring Canadian dollars, and the bills must be in good condition. No vaccination proof was required.

Have a great day
