Very relaxing. Superb food. Beach very clean and fine sands. Water was as warm and as calm as anywhere we had been to.
Regular and cheap local bus service into Kyrenia town for shopping, nice restaurants etc. Lovely all round resort.

We arrived late at night but was allocated a nice room overlooking the HUGE pool and beach. Clean, spacious but shower a bit pathetic. We were on H/B basis and had to hike from the main hotel to the restaurant area past the bungalows everyday (not for people with walking difficulties) for breakfast and dinner which is all buffet style. Good choice for breakfast but dinner became repetitive and boring and the food was never kept hot. A couple of days into our stay, we were informed the hotel was having a conference from "Turkcell" mobile phone company and that they would be there for 3 days. The only way I can describe their arrival is being "beseiged" by 1000 or more delegates, all young locals who took over the complex completely. The restaurant was turned into a free-for-all "bunfight" and unless you are into fighting for your food, I would make sure you check before arriving if the hotel has another booked. It was a relief when they had all gone that you could actually eat in peace and get a sunbed and relax. That's until the building work started adjacent to our room. There are extensions being built to the main hotel, restaurant and pool area and it was very apparent by the building noise (hammers, drills, lorries coming&going etc) which echoed around the pool area. The work is not due to finish until the winter. We used the courtesy bus to go into town which was 60p and v.efficient. Town centre is a bit hectic but we chose a restaurant called "NIAZI's" opp.the Dome Hotel which serves fabulous food and was recommended to us. Don't bother with any around the main harbour. They were overpriced and dirty most of them. Overall, I would not return to Northern Cyprus. It's littered with burnt-out cars, construction everywhere and generally looks tatty. It's a work in progress to catch up with the South but will take many years to get there and when the hotels are advertised as 5 stars.....take my word for it that they are not!

Me and my party spent 10,000 + on a holiday to the acapulco - which included my wedding....

It was not a nice experience and i will just list a few reasons why.

1. when we arrived having paid extra for the sea view rooms we were all given the wrong rooms infact they all had sea view but about 1 % in the very corner of your balcony if you lean accross............. when we complained we were told they are sea view and thats that! not interested in your complaints they laugh and say 'its not my problem!'

2. Woodwork in hotel is scratched to bits, carpets stained, Walls in some rooms have damp patches or massive cracks in the wall.

3. Bathroom shower head no good and curtain not big enough - bathroom flooded every day

4. Service at poolside bar and restaurant non existant - about 10 members of staff stood around chatting - i had to walk over to them and ask them to serve us.

5. 9 out of 10 food orders came wrong (either 1 extra dish we never ordered and they still want you to pay for - or a couple of dishes missing meaning everyone had to eat at different times)

6. Champagne and fruit was ordered and paid for by my fiance in reception to be delivered to my room before wedding - it never came and it was there the next day dried up and warm......... reception staff insisted they would not give us a refund again the gentleman said 'dont shout at me - its not my problem (after days of complaining it was removed from bill but not until we had whinged and stressed ourselves out on what we wanted to be a relaxing, quiet honeymoon).

7. Parking spaces are reserved for Casino goers (Casino Goers always get prioriry) And hotel guests have to spend ages looking for a parking space.

8.Mini bar and drinks / food in hotel is very expensive

9. When my bill come at the end of the week it had about 5 items that we didnt have - including 2 turkish baths - when we disputed it the lady from the baths came to reception and said she remebered us personally.......... this was a lie and eventually again after hours of screaming it was removed.....(check your bill thoroughly).

10. On the weekends the hotel is packed with locals and when i say packed i mean packed - no sun loungers by pool, no sun loungers on beach, nowhere to sit in restaurant...... basically you sit in you room or go out for 2 days....

11. its very far from town 25 min drive

There are good points to this hotel and i am not a tourist who is never pleased as we have visited turkey and north cyprus on many occasions and have always been happy.

Good Points

Beach is lovely, Sea is lovely, it has tennis courts, breakfast and dinner ok - altho i much preferred to eat out! Late staff in hotel lobby bar really friendly and efficient, Maids are great.....

This hotel has no management - if it were better managed and the above points were dealt with (basically customer relations/services) it wold be a fantastic hotel right on the seafront and a great pool - but it would have to change its policies greatly before i visited again!

This hotel was absolutely gorgeous and fabulous. The people were lovely and the food was delicous and the entertainment was great with excellent nightly entertainment with lots of ativites for kids of all ages! The rooms were really neat and tidy and well furnished. I woud reccomend this hotel to anyone who wants fun, beach and relaxation! The beach was lovely with clear blue seas and golden beaches!
