“THERE HAVE BEEN CHANGES....NOT ALL FOR THE BETTER”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 October 2010
3
people found this review helpful

Further to my review last October: I returned to the Olive Tree again this September, again as part of a large group. Firstly, I had a really good room this time. Spacious, clean and modern. Obviously, the setting of the hotel is still great.
The downsides: The staff are lazy and uniterested. For example: On 3 days we asked for towels at the poolside as there were none left. Each time they promised to bring some and despite being asked again, did not. The difference when the air crew staff (who use this hotel frequently) asked was unbelieveable. The food was very poor (much worse than last year) it was often cold, and whilst I will eat most things, was not aimed at the clientele (mainly UK) As was the case last year, drinks are a ridiculous price (8TL for half a beer) we did not partake of the drinks!!
Once again I can say: this hotel could be so much better with just a little bit of care, staff who care and better food. And of course a rather large reduction in the price of the drinks!!

“Good Deal !”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 March 2010
1
person found this review helpful

The hotel is on top of a hill with a view of the see from the pool area. We found that to have breakfast is rather fun in the garden overlooking the city . The room was renovated. We did not find broken showers and dirty carpets like some reviewers pointed out. The casino was not working but nearby there was a 5 star hotel with a vey good casino. Dedeman arranged shuttle if any guest wanted to go to that casino. Food was different every evening and we always found enough choice that we eat with pleasure. Although the average quality was in the middle range. We stayed there at a very good price. And for what we paid it was a very good deal.

“Great setting. Nothing else great though”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2010

I stayed at the Olive Tree for a week from 27 September 2009 before moving down to Oscar Resort in Kyrenia. I was part of a large group.

Firstly, the good points. The location is idyllic. It's quiet (apart from the goddam dog that barked all night) and is surrounded by lovely countryside. It is quite isolated but for a week is ok.
There is a free minibus into town several times a day (last one 2000hrs.) and you will need to use it at night. Taxi back cost about 20TL (£9ish) which is not so bad if there are 4 of you.
The bugalow rooms are very spacious. You get a sitting room as well as a bedroom.

The bad points: The rooms are well past their sell by date and desperately need refurbishing. They are dirty and smelly and the showeres are not so good.
The food is average.
There is nothing in the immediate area.
Worst of all is the rip off prices of the drinks. Because they have a 'captive audience' they think they can charge what they like. 8TL (about £3.50) for HALF of beer!! One night (first night) they tried to charge me £40 for a bottle of wine! When we complained to the rep they knocked the price of the beer down to 7TL (£3) for a half. Of course, after the first night, we went into Kyrenia every night along to the harbour bars and Ego's Bar where a pint was between 4TL and 6TL. Much more palatable!

In conclusion: The hotel could be so much better with some money spent on it. And don't forget the price of the drinks. Either take loads of dosh or go into town every night!!

“Don't stay in the bungalows but do stay in the hotel rooms”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 February 2009

Just arrived back! Our bungalows needed to be gutted completely on the inside. The carpets were stained and dirty. The showers were appalling and I moved myself once and was moved by the staff because the air con didn't work but it did. One of our group had a decomposing rat outside her room all week.It did have timeshare plaques up until 2005 but no longer and that says it all. The buffet was OK but only warm and would have been closed by our laws in case of food poisoning due to the temp. Having said all this it is in a stunning setting but you need a car and the road leading up through the village is horrendous. The indoor pool wasn't heated and we had to ask for the sauna to be put on. The staff were brilliant. February isn't the best time to go weather wise. CHANGE YOUR MONEY OUT THERE, MUCH BETTER RATES BUT DONT TAKE TRAVELLERS CHEQUES AS A REAL PAIN.
