Just returned from the Merit - overall a lovely week in sunny North Cyprus. Not a cloud in the sky for 6 out of 7 days and very hot with a pleasant breeze. Flew with Monarch from Gatwick, 3 couples in SAGA territory! Not going to comment on Monarch to much, it was on time both ways and its pay... more

Excellent location at the north coast of the island, set at two private beaches: one sandy with all the action and a nice selection of deckchairs, hammocks, huge cushions, etc. and the other one a bit more secluded and rocky. Both with very clear water. Definitely the best beach & swimming spot from all the hotels in the area! Modern,... more

This must be one of the best hotels we have stayed in. The food was excellent and the staff were all extremely attentive. The food and local spirits were all included and wherever you were on the complex (beaches etc) there was always a water fountain close by. They even made us lunch boxes when we went out for the... more

We played tennis most mornings and then had... more

I have spent a whole weekend with my family at this great hotel. We have a little baby and we just wonder if we could have done it with our baby. However hotel staff did their best to help us on every moment during our stay. Seperate baby bed was fit in to our room, hot water supplied every time,... more

We have just returned from three weeks at Merit Crystal Cove. Generally the Hotel and staff were very good and helpful; my wife uses a wheelchair for any distance. Please bear in mind that this is a conference centre. The delegates from Turkish Lions (0ver 400 of them) seemed to consider that British guests were only to be tolerated, but... more

This was the first time we had been to Northern Cyprus. This hotel was outstanding in every way. The only complaint we have is that smoking is permitted everywhere even in the restaurant. The food was buffet style everyday - it was plentiful and varied and always fresh, hot and delicious. It has a casino on sight which is great... more
