Should I get some cuban currency before arriving? If so, where to get the best rate?

I've always relied on the ATM fee reimbursement feature off my Fidelity Cash Management Account (CMA) debit card while traveling abroad. It has been working out really well for me thus far in Europe and Mexico.

Well, it looks like Cuba presents a whole different challenge all together. Reading from here: Cuba FAQ's : Frequently Asked Questions | Cuba-Junky.com It looks like I cannot draw money from any US bank due to US embargo restriction on Cuba.

If anyone has experience using CMA debit card (or similar type of card) in Cuba please let me know. Otherwise, could anyone recommend a good place or just how you get the best rate before/while visiting Cuba?

I am a green card holder, not a US citizen, but I think the same rule applies.
