We have just returned from a 2 week holiday at High Life where we found Beha & his staff extremely friendly & attentive. especially Bayram the head waiter / general handiman.
The hotel is well organised , the rooms spacious & clean, the pool area a lovely clean & relaxing spot to have a swim & sunbathe. The gardens are well manicured by Beha & there is plenty of room for the 14 cats that the family own to roam around without generally bothering hotel guests. Food at the hotel is very good; the half board menu is rather limited although the A La Carte menu allows a wider choice. The patio restaurant offers wonderful sea views & views of Kyrenia's new harbour.
The shingle beach in front of the hotel is reached by a series of fairly steep steps, therefore making it unsuitable for anyone who is disabled.
Location is approximately 2 miles from the centre of Kyrenia but not a pleasant walk as the road is busy & there is no pavement for much of the way.
In our opinion it is advisable to hire a car which can be done at a competitive price from the hotel. Not possible to walk along the sea front for any distance.
One negative point Although tea & coffee making facilities are available in the room, a charge is made for each tea-bag / coffee sachet ! This is complementary in all hotel rooms that we have ever stayed in previously.
Taking into account the above points we would not hesitate to spend another holiday at High Life.

5/5 found this review helpful

just returned from two weeks stay at high life .It is a very friendly hotel but it needs to be pointed out that the roads into Kyrenia lack a pavement and there is no prom. Tthe beaches and surroundings are strewn with litter and bottles such a shame ! We stayed half board as we are two females with no transport this was a mistake as the half board menu was very restricting making us feel like second class citizens.Restaurants nearby were much better and cheaper.We shall not be visiting Northern Cyprus again the lasting impression is of a large unfinished building site with litter everywhere not pleasant!

High Life was recommended by a friend who lives in Kyrenia and we were not disappointed with your hospitality and the location. Everyone we met was welcoming and helpful. We had a wonderful stay and this is why we wish to come back.

“Wonderful oasis of peace and quiet”

We returned home from Kyrenia last week after staying for a fortnight at the High Life Holiday village. We had a really wonderful, peaceful holiday. The rooms were large and airy, the pool area absolutely great, but above all the staff, Byaram, Milli and Ahmed were a delight. It is not often that staff in a hotel are so helpful and friendly and we really missed them all when we arrived back in the UK.

The meals were well cooked, although my only criticism is that they could vary a litle, with perhaps a choice of fruit at breakfast, and a local dessert in the evening instead of ice cream every night.

However, that said, we would certainly stay at the High Life again
- hoping that the staff would be the same, all except Milli who will be a mother in December, and is, unfortunately, leaving.

We would have no hesitation in recommending this most serene of hotels to anyone who appreciates a restful holiday.

The hotel is in a wonderful location close to Kyrenia, yet very quiet and peaceful. The rooms were excellent and the service was extremely friendly at all times and the staff very helpful. The evening meals we had were also excellent. Certainly a hotel we would return to and recommend to friends!
