Voltage in Cuba
Cuban plugs and sockets follow the American model with two legs (A type). Generally, voltage is 110V/60Hz, although some hotels (usually in the bathrooms) also feature 220V and rounded leg sockets for European plugs (C type). It is advised to ask in the hotel before arriving, in case you need to have an adaptor.

In Cuba the supply voltage is 110/220V. If the appliance or its power supply are not dual voltage rated, the single voltage appliance will have to be used alongside a voltage transformer or converter to allow the appliance to work safely and properly (unless the appliance operates at 110V or 220V). If this is not the case it should be used alongside a voltage transformer or converter to allow the appliance to work safely and properly.
For Cuba there are four associated plug types, types A, B, C and L. Cuba operates on a 110/220V supply voltage and 60Hz. Although the power supply in Cuba is mainly 110V, some of the newer hotels operate at 220V.

Mexico Voltage
Electricity in Mexico is the same as in the U.S. and Canada, 110 Volts, 60 Cycle. You do not need a transformer or converter. Some older places may not have 3 hole ground receptacles with ground so you might want to bring one of those inexpensive adapters that go from a 3 prong plug to a 2 hole receptacle.
One of my favorite fun facts about Mexico plug types is they’re the same as what you’ll find throughout Canada and the United States. All three North American countries use Type A and Type B plugs, which are almost the same except for one small but important difference.
Type A plugs are designed with two flat prongs, while Type B has two flat prongs plus a circular pin. This means that while you can use a Type A plug with both kinds of outlets, Type B plugs can only be used with Type B outlets. Type A plugs are more versatile and make it easier to find and use compatible electrical outlets in Mexico.
Another important factor to consider when planning for the standard type of power outlet in Mexico is frequency and voltage. Fun facts about Mexico power outlets: the standard frequency is 60 Hz, which is the same in Canada and the United States.
As far as voltage in Mexico, the typical range for standard Mexico electrical outlet types is between 110 to 120 volts. This is common among all North American countries, so you shouldn’t have any issues plugging electronics into power outlets in Mexico.
