we stayed here in September and whilst there are a few teething problems with the hotel as it is new, overall we really enjoyed our stay. The pool and terrace area is lovely, with sunbeds and big comfy couches, in the evening you can eat outside by the pool.
The inside dining area was'nt so good though with little atmosphere and unfortunately the service was quite erratic but the staff fall over themselves to try their best and help you and are very friendly and helpful so this made up for the lack of service and average food.
The local village of Bellapais is about a 15 minute walk and is lovely with a beautiful abbey and quite a few restaurants. The downside is that Kyrenia is too far to walk and the hotel, although they had a minibus, were not using it to transport clients to the town even though the hotel next door was. This meant that either you had to hire a car, which most people seemed to do including ourselves, or get a cab all the time. The rooms were rather dark as was the corridor upstairs, but they were very nicely furnished, although we felt the bathrooms certainly in our room let it down as it was very small and the toilet did'nt work properly even though the plumber came to mend it! Overall we had a lovely stay as the staff made up for all the minor problems and we hope to visit again next year by which time hopefully the teething problems will be sorted out.

We have just returned form a 2 week stay at the Bella View. This was our 3rd vist to Northern Cyprus and it has to be said that this is the best hotel that we have stayed in. The hotel is beautiful. Our room was spacious, very well equiped and overlooked the stunning pool with the sea as a backdrop. The friendliness of all of the staff and the excellent service was consistent and never faltered. There are an abundance of restaurants in Kyrenia and Bellapais however dinner at the hotel is not to be missed. The food is superb and in our opinion can be compared to any of the top London restaurants and at a fraction of the price!
We returned to England relaxed and refreshed and would definately recommend the Bella View to our family and friends.

We went for a look round during a recent stay in Bellapais village.
This hotel is 1 km outside the village right next to the Bellapais Monastary Village. The pool and restaurant areas look very clean cut and inviting, however the rooms are quite darkly furnished and the ones facing the sea do not have balconies (???), the ones facing the mountains do. Staff seem attentative and restaurant prices are above average, similar to Bellapais Gardens Hotel.

What a wonderful hotel, only opened early 2006. Staff were very attentive and friendly, accommodation was top class only 21 rooms, location superb - a short taxi ride to the harbour or up to Bella Pais. It was only half full when we stayed but it felt like our own private villa with staff!
