THE CARDS YOU BUY IN THE HOTEL THEY WORK THROUGH THE HOTEL'S WIFI IN THE AREA OF ITS ACCESS. AN OPTION IS NEEDED WITHOUT LOCATION LIMITATION. WHAT IS THE COST OF THE INTERNET IF YOU BUY A LOCAL SIM CARD THROUGH IT? OR THROUGH INTERNATIONAL SIM OF OTHER OPERATORS????

I think the author will definitely go broke if he constantly uses the Internet! ... Mobile communications there have recently become more or less normal. They have time in the past :)

That's what pushed back earlier trip to this country. I don’t even remember where I didn’t have free WIFI on the territory of the hotel with a decent speed. in the neighboring poor MEXICO and DOMINICAN the speed allowed to communicate throughout the hotel for video calls. what to do work like this. connection is always needed

Why are you screaming outrage? Of course, you can go to another country in order to save money, or you can not go anywhere at all

angik007, we must appreciate such places where there is an opportunity to take a break from cellular communications and the Internet, there are fewer and fewer of them in the modern world.
Working on vacation is a dubious undertaking, it’s better to relax and forget about work for a couple of weeks.

If you are flying to Varadero, then there is no problem to take a car with a guide (in Russian) much cheaper. On the beach, you can arrange for 35 for the whole day in Havana. There are no special attractions in Cuba. We were in Varadero recently, tourists from Russia traveled, they didn’t deceive anyone, they liked everything. There are problems with the Internet in all Cuban resorts. Pay and don't receive. I dare to give advice as someone who knows Cuba and the Caribbean well. It is very hot in Cuba in August. There may be problems with electricity and water. Even in 4 * hotels (there are no 5 * in Cuba) you can find yourself without air conditioning. If only August, then you can consider the Dominican Republic - it’s good and more expensive on Punta Cana, it’s just as good and cheaper on Puerto Plata (many Russians in the hotel from the Pegas company) Were there 3 times, including in August, we didn’t meet any dissatisfied people. Good recreation!

There are two currencies in Cuba: 1. CUP (peso cubano) national Cuban peso; 2. CUC - Cuban Convertible Peso.
1 CUC = 26, 5 CUPs.
Among the Cuban population, payments (in shops, markets, cafes...) are made in Cuban pesos (CUP). In special stores designed for foreigners (diplomatic, trade representative, etc., where there is a lot of currency assortment), the calculation is made in CUC.
In Soviet times, also the so-called. "tarhety" were of different denominations - a kind of certificate for entering the diplomatic store ...

Cuba is a country of the Soviet socialist type, so to speak. It is a closed country where the state controls everything. Internet too. Only one state company ETECSA is allowed to work with the Internet. You can use (foreigners) in hotels. Recently, Cubans can also use the Internet, but only in specially designated places - in an Internet cafe or in a park, in a certain place. The cost of an hour of Internet in an Internet cafe is $4.5. For a Cuban, this is crazy money.
Mobile phone cards will cost $1.5 for an hour or $7.5 for five hours.
Well, for us, this is not a hindrance 2 journeys in the Moscow metro - 1 hour on the Internet in Cuba.

When we rested, the CUP-pesos were only given out to Cubans. And they changed them to CUC-pesos. For it was practically impossible to buy anything for CUP .... except in remote settlements. This is according to the guide. Although there is a very poor selection of goods.

In April 2018, we had big problems with the Internet in Havana. In the center of Havana, we found an Internet cafe only in 1 hotel out of 4. Price - 1 hour / 1 CUC.
СUC is a cross between the dollar and the euro, approximately 1 euro = 1.1 CUC. It is unprofitable to travel to Cuba with dollars because of the commission charged during the exchange.

When traveling to Cuba, you can also buy so-called houses at home. "Traveler's checks" (travelers checks) and exchange them in Cuba for CUCs. The exchange of "traveler's checks" for CUC is carried out at the bank with a lower commission percentage (commissions are less). From the card% more. Traveler's checks issued by major banks, as well as credit cards Visa, MasterCard, Diners Club, JCB are accepted for payment.
Credit cards and travelers checks used in the USA (mainly American Express) are NOT accepted in Cuba!
