We arrived exhausted after a long flight to be greeted by the aroma of jasmine and a meal which was most welcome.

It was incredible to think we had beentravelling since 7am and it was now midnight. We would have got to the Caribbean in less time than it had taken us to North Cyprus, due to the Pegasus flight which stops off in Turkey en rout

The pools, at this hotel are lovely, especially the infinity pool, the each is small but gets crowded at weekends when locals arrive, and there are never enough beach beds to go round since most are broken.



North Cyprus is not as developed as the South. However if you are under 50 you will be very bored as there is absolutely nothing to do at night, unless your idea of fun is karaoke or a a flutter at a gaming table of one of the many casinos.

Their government has flooded this small area of cyprus with Russian owned Casinos because the tax revenue generated from them is massive.

Oddly for a low key traditional area there are also strip clubs.

Neither of us are gamblers, and drunken karaoke is really not our thing, so it was a book at bedtime or catchup of the latest new on t.v. So if you're after a relaxing week with not a ot to do then you will like Kyrenia.

Our room which was close to the bar and reception area was very noisy, it looked out to a main road where traffic thundered along day and night.

Dinner is served around one of the pools which is pleasant, however the food leaves a lot to be desired unless you like creamy stodgy lasagnas, pastas and dried up beef. We stuck to the mezzes or ate out., There are a few good restaurants nearby.

At the nearby Mountain View hotel there was a WW2 memorial party with Vera Lynn singalong with lots of WW2 veterans, nd bangers and mash on the menu. Cyprus is an army base so attracts lots of former soldiers who tour the war memorials .

Dinner would have been pleasant as it was served poolside. However we could not hear ourselves think let alone speak because of the excessive noise from a pair of teenage boys who seemed to be the in house entertainment and and sang off key very lbadly and oudly.

They managed to clear the dining room whenever they played which was every second night. We complained to Teresa at the front desk but she just smiled, shrugged and did nothing to turn down the din.

Business is booming at Silver Rocks restaurant because of these two who annoy guests with their awful renditions of Led Zepplin and Slade covers,The din is relentless.

Our friends had been inflicted with this pair on no less than six nights during their two week stay. By week two they decided to eat out and recommended the Silver rocks which was very pleasant.


Staff were helpful apart from one little control freak in the breakfast room called Yasser who paced up and down scrutinising guests in case they might sneak out a piece of sasauge for the starving cats outside.

The sea is clean, and the small beach pleasant but could be so much better if the hotel purchased new beach beds most of which are broken. They blame the storms of last winter, but come on, how much does a beach bed cost?.

Overall it was a relaxing if dull week, but if it's good food you're after or entertainment at night, I would chose another hotel, or another area of Cyprus

We returned from La Hotel end of Oct we had booked our hols via KGB Deals, it was our first time in Northern Cyprus but our stay was fabulous and relaxing.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating and my children absolutely loved the pools they had there.
Agree with previous posts that the rooms are pretty dated but they were clean.
The hotel is in a fabulous location and most of our time was spent outdoors the weather was amazing.
All in all a fab break Thank you to all at LA Hotel.

We stayed in this hotel with my wife for 5 nights (24-29 October) and everything was nearly perfect.
The beach of the hotel was excellent and maybe the best one in that area (Lapta region).
The foods were deicious and there were too many alternatives in each times.
The hotel and restaurant was very clean, room service was very successful.
The staff was very helpful and always smiling.
The pools were big enough and their locations are perfectly designed.
The prices of the hotel were reasonable.
The furnitares in the rooms were a little aged, but it didn't bother us at all.
Hotel is a little far from Kyrennia center, it's in Lapta, You can go to Kyrennia by minibuses, which are very often.
If we go to Kyrenia again, we're planning to stay in LA Hotel next time too.

We stayed here for 10 days in October and will be coming back next year. It was very quiet in the evenings, so if you want to be entertained you need to go out to one of the local bars. It would probably be a bit more lively in the height of the season. All the staff are very friendly, (hello Betty & Theresa) the rooms are cleaned every day and the main pool is large and clean although most people used the private beach over the road. The beach is lovely with plenty of sun loungers and parasols. There is also a lovely infinity pool, a bar and snacks available - I loved the pizzas. I will say that the food could be more varied but for what we paid it was good value. In the local area there are several good places to eat, in particular Silver Rocks about a 10 minute walk away. We found the whole holiday to be relaxing and a place we will go back to.
