After reading previous reviews for this hotel we booked for April
2008. We arrived quite late at night and were met by helpful staff who immediately arranged drinks and food for us. This isn't the Ritz but, having stayed in 5 star hotels around the world, we were
delighted with our bungalow acommodation. The hillside restaurant wasn't open but the choice of food in the basement restaurant was amazing with plenty of choice. The waiters were friendly, good humoured and very efficient.
Then there was the spa. Just the most relaxing place you could find. My husband and I both had massages and felt brilliant. The children loved the pools,the beach and just being in such a lovely place. Everywhere was spotless. We didn't use the casino
but that was the only facility we didn't bother with.
Would we go again? Definitely

I booked a family holiday direct with the hotel (www.acapulco-cyprus.com) for Sept 2007, and we had a great time. The kids loved the aqua park, and the younger one had a good time in the kids club too. My better half spent most of her time stretched out on a sun lounger, either beside the enormous swimming pool or on the really clean beach, and then claimed that her massage relaxed her from the 'stress' of a family holiday! Being a pale-skinned Scot, I stayed in the shade, drank beer, and made the most of the all you can eat buffet.

The Acapulco is just what we love in a family resort hotel - lots to do, lots to eat, good bars, nice staff, and a clean, sandy beach. (Not every beach in North Cyprus is this clean, unfortunately.) We're booking again for Sept 2008.

it was a lovely hotel, fantastic place. it was peaceful and beautiful. food was lovely and fresh.. lots to choice from.
stuff were lovely and friendly. all i can say is that if you want to have a nice holiday to remember for rest of your life please go there but if you are a real picky person then dont even bother to go anywhere..

We booked first two weeks in October - a sea-view room in the main hotel. Best rooms are even numbers overlooking hotel terrace and sea. Odd numbers overlook the pool. We upgraded 2nd week to a suite at a cost of £250 but it was worth it - superb room and views. Avoid the villas if possible - cheaper, but dark inside and a little remote from the hotel.
The standard rooms are nothing special but are kept clean.
The hotel has a large lobby with bar, TV and a section with 'arcade' type machines, plus two pool tables. The outside terracing is very pleasant. The pool is excellent - plenty of room and OK for non swimmers. The beach also good - plenty of sunbeds. Sea inviting and warm but does get a bit choppy at times. Lifeguard in attendence.

The restaurant overlooking the sea was closed so we confined to the basement. Seating arranged in formal rows - forget having an intimate meal! The food is definitely 'catering for the masses' - buffet style breakfast and dinner. The plates were rarely warm. The food was somewhat 'continental' - fried eggs were available for breakfast but everything else was very spicy. There was a large selection of cold meats and cheeses. A glass of fresh orange juice was charged at approx. £2! The toaster was useless. A reasonable selection for dinner, usually beef, veal or chicken dishes. Sometimes fish was available but very dry and uninteresting. Vegetables when available were overcooked.The kitchen staff tried very hard to keep the food topped up. A local wine was available at approx. £8 but was poor - you had to spend a bit more to get something half reasonable.
Here's a tip - remember to guard your plates!! The staff are incredibly 'efficient' and collect the plates with gusto. If you leave the table your plate will be collected, regardless of whether you have finished or not! My wife and I took it in turns to visit the buffet.

There are two eating places outside by the pool and the beach. These serve 'fast food' - pizzas, chicken, kebabs etc. - self service

There is no where to get a decent cup of tea or coffee - you are served with a small cup of hot water and either a teabag or a sachet of coffee.

English was spoken but very poor in many areas. The best english was spoken at reception. Friendliness was 'mixed' , overall not very warm.

A bus service is available through the day to Kyrenia - takes about 15 minutes. Taxi cost about £6. We walked it one day - it took over two hours and the lack of a proper pavement made it very dangerous!
There are some excellent restaurants around the harbour with a good choice of fresh fish. We took two meals there - I wish we were B&B, we would have taken all our meals there.

Summary - definitely not 5 star. Food average (some guests rated it as poor). In truth, I suffered from indigestion most of the time. Service reasonable but not over friendly. Rooms clean. Ideal for beach holiday but I wouldn't want to be there at the height of the season. The hotel is a bit isolated. My wife and I like to go for walks but this was not possible.

Would I go again? Very unlikely!!
