Do I need a plug adapter in Cuba?

Google recommends bringing in adapter as some hotels still haven't updated their plugs to 220V, although most of the new hotels have. My recommendation: Bring one! Better to be safe then sorry!

1) 3 bottles of sunscreen; 2) A small purse to bring to the restaurant at night for like lip-gloss, money, camera, etc.; 3) Hat for the beach; 4) 1 or 2 bathing suit cover ups; 5) A few bathing suits; damp suits take longer to dry because of the humidity; 6) Light clothes to sleep in, they do have AC but its humid; 7) For the ladies, cream make-up is better than powder, again, due to the humidity ; and waterproof mascara.
Question
I don't travel alot, what do you recommend I bring for the trip? (response 2 of 2)
Answer
1)Gifts for your room attendant. They only get to keep 1% of the money we give them. Hot items are pens/pencils, small toys, razor, shaving cream, nail polish, Advil / Tylenol, etc. that you can purchase at your local dollar-store; 2) Medications: Bring anything you want medication wise with you because they don’t have much and will charge an arm and a leg for anything they do have. My suggestions: Advil, Pepto/Imodium, Sinus meds, Aloe; 3) Cool clothing, breathable material such as cotton; 4) Comfortable shoes/sandals, avoid heels (example: wedges, sneakers, etc.); 5) Get your pesos ahead of time at your local bank to save on the exchange rate; 6) Large refillable cup or mug: The bars have small cups for drinks and water so a larger mug will prevent you returning multiple times during the day.
