Having originally booked a completely different Cuban Holiday in January only to have it cancelled due to Cubana Airlines Flight changes, we were looking for an alternative and stumbled across The Travel Collection Natural Cuba holiday. It was with a bit of trepidation that we finally booked as I am normally the kind of traveller who would put stars and... more

As with virtually all visitors, we went as part of Kuoni's 'Travel Collection' Natural Cuba tour. This is a 14 room hotel so max. 28 guests, but there were just 6 booked for our stay (& we were told 4 the next week & 2 the week after), so if small groups are not your bag you may wish to... more

We've just come back from the 'Natural Cuba' tour organised by Travel Collection, the first part of which took us to El Yarey, followed by the Sevilla in Havana and Breezes Jibocoa. Without doubt, the highlight of the holiday was the week at El Yarey. We knew what to expect thanks to everyone's reviews on TripAdvisor. A 2-star hotel with... more

We got exactly what we expected from reading reviews and the description from our travel company. Agreed, it was basic and we could have done with some furniture in our room, but it was clean and comfortable. The food was good, not always on time, but you have to accommodate to "Cuban time". The area was lovely countryside and we... more

Joan and H Smith - if anyone from our party reads this please contact me, i lost email addresses. Booked with travel collection and arrived end of January. Beautiful spot away from it all. Rooms were very dark & need renovating but comfy beds and hot water (and we had one of the better ones) but this was more than... more

To say it was basic is to put it mildly, but it was very clean and the beds were comfortable so resigned myself to the lack of luxury. After one day I was loving it!The staff are so hospitable... more

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at El Yarey at Christmas 2007, as part of Travel Collection’s “Natural Cuba” holiday. At present this small hotel seems to have its accommodation reserved exclusively for this group, though non-residents do occasionally use the restaurant and bar. The star of the show was undoubtedly Nelson, our tour guide, who was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, entertaining and... more

We've just returned from our Xmas and New Year break in Cuba - with The Travel Collection to El Yarey, Miramar Havana, and Breezes Jibacao. El Yarey was the best part of the trip. The tour guide Nelson( intelligent, knowlegeable and great fun), the staff and driver Toledo are a credit to the Cuban tourist industry. Yes the accommodation could... more
