We had visited the north a few years ago and I must admit were put off by the lengthy flight including stop in Turkey and then on to Northern Cyprus.We decided to visit again flying in to Larnaca and transferring up to the North.Did a search for places to stay and then a search on the Almond.The reviews were all excellent.I contacted them by e mail through their excellent web site and had a reply almost immediately.They arranged the transfers for us and we booked one of their one bedroomed bungalows.The car that collected us was air conditioned and we travelled up in about 1 hour 15 minutes.The almond is beautiful.The gardens are lovely with citrus trees,walnut trees,pistachio trees,figs,olives lovely flowers and shrubs.The pool is excellent,all day there are dragon flies crossing over it in beautiful colours.I havent seen so many in one place,amazing.The bungalows are very spacious and as said before cleaned every day and linen changed every day.The air conditioning is very good.The food at their restaurant was for us as good or better than anywhere else we ate.My husband said the peppered steak was the best he'd had....high praise from him....I work for a leading steak restaurant!
The family who run it are lovely.They will leave you to relax and not push you to eat in their restaurant or buy more drinks but will provide the best service they can and help in any way they can.We met some other lovely couples while we were there and enjoyed many evenings eating in or out and mostly back to the bar where we had a good laugh and usually a chat with Ahmet.Normally we are not pool people preferring the beach,but it was so lovely and the pool so clean that we stayed there a lot.There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance and the dolmus run very frequently for less than £1 to Kyrenia.As you might have guessed I can't recommend it enough!J and T
