Fantastic staff, friendly and helpful service, clean pools and continental breakfast very good, great barman carlas , rooms need updating but apart from that it is a great place to stay. Lots of beautiful cats and they are all looked after😘 Not at all feral, so if you’re a cat lover this is the place to stay. Going back next year , see you soon .

After reading some of the reviews we weren't sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised. Upon arrival (about 11pm) we were greeted by Simon who made us feel at ease instantly and throughout our stay. We sat and had a couple of drinks by the pool and let the hustle and bustle of the journey slip away. At breakfast everyone was always smiling and helpful. Marcus who also works at the seafront bar was always there with a smile and a joke. Ok so the rooms are a little tired and dated but let's be honest, you're only in there to sleep. It was lovely to sit on the balcony watching the world go by with a morning coffee and in the evening something a little stronger. It's within walking distance to some fabulous restaurants and a short bus ride from the town. It's the friendly staff who put the icing on the cake here, from Housekeeping (who always had a cheery greeting) upwards. When we return to Lapta, and we certainly will, we will return to this hotel.…

The hotel could do with some TLC but was well worth the cost. We were not happy with our room but it was changed and was OK. The staff were very good, friendly and helpfull. There was a good choice of food for breakfast, with pancakes and omellets cooked to order, on the beach the pool and bar is nice and is reached safeley by a tunnel under the road.

No way this place deserves anything like 4 stars. This hotel is old. Not charming, vintage old, just worn out, almost decrepit, it doesn't feel inviting but has a nasty 70s feel to it. It doesn’t help that you’re not supposed to flush toilet paper (see unsightly pull plug to flush in the photo), that water in the shower is weak (only bottled water is), wifi in the rooms is painfully slow and keeps dropping (at least this place has it, some "four star" establishments in the area only have it in the reception area). My room had an antiquated A/C with a remote control unit that looked and felt like it could use disinfection. Linen is poor quality by any standard and you can feel and hear something plastic on the mattress underneath the sheet. Pillows are unusual, uncomfortable and have an unpleasant smell, I wrapped one in a clean towel to use for sleeping. Now, I’m not too fussy or spoilt and I understand this is a business but everything here just feels cheap and neglected, as if no one even cares. Food: good bakeries generally seem to be few and far between in this part of Cyprus but the bread served at breakfast here is just weird, there's two kinds, a tired, unappetising white bread and a 2nd kind, possibly whole-grain but sticky and with a suspicious, grey color, wouldn’t look out of place in a Midnight Express remake. Some cheeses are available that might be OK but sausages and hot dogs just look bad and I didn’t dare ingest any. Staff here is friendly for the most part but people in general appear untalented for tourism and it feels as if they don’t really appreciate their guests, they're just a necessary evil to extract hard currency. And don’t expect anyone to speak English, not even at the airport, that’s how they roll here, it’s a different mentality, alien and often frustrating for a European mindset. There’s an outside pool with extremely warm and strangely opaque water that doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. Sea water also is far too warm to relieve you from extreme sunshine and heat and it’s quite a drag being on the beach, it’s just extremely hot and extremely boring, there’s nothing to make your stay more entertaining or enjoyable, not even a single beach ball for at least kids to play, the whole experience is just very bland. Food in local restaurants is somewhat better but nothing to write home about, frozen fish from fish farms and frozen shrimp of grey color, hardly the kind of seafood you'd expect on an island. There’s a small 24/7 store not far away from the hotel with a selection of processed food, mostly sweets, probably due to lack of A/C inside. For the first time in my life I was on holiday and counting days for it to be over.…

Once again another fabulous stay at my favourite place. It’s the staff that makes this my place to be. We continue to visit time and again because we truly feel we are now friends with all the staff, they are always polite, cheerful and nothing is ever a problem. The hotel is always clean, tidy and welcoming. It’s not 5* but nor am I, but they sure do treat us like we are. Well done the LA.....we will be back September, looking forward to our stay already.

On arrival my hotel room appeared to be fine. I was a bit late for breakfast on the Sunday morning - got to dining room just after 10 but was given a nice plate of food. (It had been around 2 am when I eventually got to the hotel so had overslept!!) Met up with my friend who had arrived a day or two earlier who told me that the hotel's beach facilities were non-existant. And, yes, they were. The reason that nothing was up and running was due to the storm damage and they had had trouble getting the work done. You could only get a cold drink from the Poolside bar/restaurant. Their web site states - "The beach side restaurant is open throughout the day serving drinks and selection of delicious snacks from our extensive menu." We couldnt even order from the menu as they would not bring the food over from the main hotel. So if you wanted to have lunch at the hotel you had to trek back across to the main building. However, by midweek last week we were able to order food - albeit limited. Last Wednesday we spent the day at the hotel's beach and pool area and decided to have lunch there. I was wanting to have a Mediterrean Salad - sorry not available; My friend ordered a Tuna Salad - yes, that was available. However, I was able to have Mediterrean Salads on a couple of occasions when I ate at the main hotel at lunchtime. Again, their web site states - "When it comes to dining, the hotel has a choice of two restaurants." No, the only restaurant that was open was the dining room in the main hotel. Then last week they started building works at the Poolside bar/restaurant and closed off areas of where one could sunbathe, swim, eat, etc. The work being carried out last week certainly did not appear to be repair work due to storm damage ! It appeared to be all new work. At 2.15 am on Tuesday morning 21st May, I had to visit the bathroom. In getting off the toilet I hit and split my temple/forehead open on the edge of the very large washbasin which, until that moment, I didnt realise stuck out in front of the toilet. I eventually almost stopped the bleeding. However, when I went down to breakfast I asked the receptionist if they had any steristrips in their first aid box as I knew the wound needed them. No. So my friend and I went to the local chemist who advised I should go to the Local Clinic. As it was not possible to get a dolmash to the Clinic, the receptionist called a taxi for us. The Clinic told me I had to go to the Emergency Dept at Kyrenia Hospital, - which we did - by dolmash. The wound was sutured - turns out I had 4 sutures and a tetanus injection. The treatment I received at both the Local Clinic and the Emergency Dept was excellent. On returning to the hotel, the reception staff were concerned as to how we had got on and were even more shocked when told the wound had been sutured. They then advised that the hotel would like to offer us some compensation - a drink from the bar, which my friend and I had that evening - total cost 40TLR - probably around £5.00. The next day I did point out to a member of the hotel staff how dangerous the very large washbasin was in being so close to the toilet and he agreed totally and that a smaller basin should be installed or even moved. The owners of the hotel NEVER came near me. I did make myself known to the lady owner one day - she said she spoke little English and just said "sorry". The reception staff were far more concerned andcaring than the owners. In fact the reception staff were very helpful at all times as were the room maids and I would give them 5 out of 5. Would I stay at LA again - sadly no. So all in all, I do not feel that I have had a very relaxing, refreshing holiday at all - which is what I desperately needed as I had been quite unwell a number of times during the winter months. So if you are allocated Room 246, please be careful if the washbasin has not been changed/altered.…

first room i got was ground floor room 120 awful smell of drains large cockroaches asked to be moved after 2 nights and was allocated an upstairs room much better. went bed and breakfast and it was the same everyday no variation. reception staff were excellent always friendly and willing to help you. rooms cleaned everyday by really friendly maids. stayed for 3 weeks and their was constant ongoing building work to the beach bar, nothing was properly open so it was hard to relax. i think when you are paying a decent amount of money you expect everything to be up and running, not so the case here. could be a lovely hotel if it were cared for better, such a shame. half the hotels rooms have apparently been closed for years and are never used. do not think i would stay here again there are much better hotels in north cyprus for around the same price.…

We stayed here years ago and were aware of the potential pitfalls. 1. Book a room overlooking the pool area. They are quiet. If you are put in a room by the road you will find it noisy. 2. Do not book Half board. We ate one night at Silver Rocks which we thought had gone downhill. We ate one night at Blue Song which was very good and five nights at Veni Vici which was excellent. Silver Rocks is quite a walk but the other two are a 5 minute stroll away. 3. Rent a car and use the hotel as a base. 4. There are no lifts at the hotel and there is a long flight of stairs to the restaurant so not suitable for wheelchair users. We had a couple of issues with the water supply but they were quickly fixed. The room was fine and the aircon was nice and quiet. Breakfast was very good. The area is a bit grotty and the footpaths are lethal. It is not suitable for wheelchair users. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay…

The hotel is on the main strip - hence loudy and with exhaust stench moderated somehow by winds. Tiny beach (some 300 ft) across the strip. Settings are crowded - as is the entire coast. Run down dilapidated structures are standard. Rooms and service - survivable. Food - well, not much so. Seafood missing altogether. Should I know better I would not take HB. BB is sufficient as there is a good restaurant close by (Blue Song).
