Guantanamo Shopping and Dining

Guantanamo fashion is all the rage as worn here by those fun-loving folks at Amnesty.

At Guantanamo you will be delighted to find the following restaurants: Starbucks, McDonalds, Subway, and Pizza Hut. Should you need any miscellaneous items there is a big general goods store.

Don’t forget about the gift shop. You can get an endless supply of Guantanamo kitsch: key chains, shot glasses, t-shirts – it’s all there. Workers from United States colonies, such as the Philippines and Haiti are happy to serve you with a smile.

However, these amenities are only accessible if you are visiting Guantanamo as part of the United States military, FBI or CIA. Other guests have a far sparser array of shopping and dining choices.
