What kind of plug adapter do in need in Cuba?

Question

Does anyone know what kind of plug adapter I need for Cuba?

And, also, I'm confused - do I need one adapter to change the voltage (ie 110 here in Canada), and another to change the shape (ie the three prong shape here in Canada) ?

Thanks for all your help!

Answer 1

Some resorts have 220 others 110 and others a combination of both depending on the building at the resort. I'm from Canada and use a universal adapter available at Walmart or an electronics store. Years ago I checked at an electronics store and their chart said it was110. Wrong! At the resort I went to it was 220, Fortunately I had bought an adapter just to be on the safe side so I would suggest you do the same. At your resort sometimes I've found it hard to find a plug in my room where the adapter plugs in, if so look behind furniture the drapes etc. Enjoy Cuba. It's great.

Answer 2

Most resorts will require a voltage converter as they use 220V. In canada we use 110V. A converter will cost about $40 and has adaptors that will fit any kind of plug. Some resorts use 110V like in Canada. Some use both. I would bring an adapter just in case. Be sure to ask the front desk when you arrive as to what voltage your room uses.

Answer 3

You don't say what you want this for, nor where you are staying - both important items of information.

The adaptors sold at the airports are often the multi-type which cover every option. Therefore you are buying something where 66% will not be needed.
