This hotel is old.it has 2 buildings DenizkIzi Royal and Denizkizi.There is no disco,no animation,but the beach is amazing ,it has harbour,and all watersports ( water ski,jet ski, etc.). The hotel location isgood,near the hotel there are a lo of nice café's and restaurants.also about 10 min walking from the hotel there are the escape beach disco and ice club. Near the hotel every 5 minutes the bus passes by, and you can go to the city centre.There are a lot of shops,casinos,café's. We had only breakfast included, and it had a small assortment. The hotel pros are : 1.the beach it is very clean and has a lot of free space,so can find free beach bed every time you come, 2.
the hotel location. 3. if you come there to rest the hotel itself is very quite. we stayed there for 1 week and there was no screams,no crying.it is very very quite. The cons are: 1.The hotel is not for young people. 2. hotel is not 4 stars,it is more 3 stras. it is a bit old. 3.the casino is not working.

this hotel is faultless in every way. The staff are fantastic and the owner is always on hand to assist in anyway possible. The hotel comes with a private beach and the sea is great for snorkelling.
The owner also owns a couple of restaurants in the town which are well worth a visit.
Try it, you won't be disappointed.

I stayed here with my partner for 10 days in late September 2011. I agree with the other reviewers that it is a relaxed, friendly and pleasant place to stay. The beach and pool areas are lovely, clean with plenty of sunbeds and sunshades.
The only negatives I would say are that the bedrooms are quite dated and in need of up-dating. There is also an issue with noises from the laundry and (I presume) a generator that were very noisy and spoiled the pleasure of sitting on the balcony. That was a shame.
The food is well cooked and reasonably varied, although the serving area is a bit Stalinist looking. The serving staff are all first class, friendly and willing. Eating on the terrace in the evening was pleasant with the candle lit tables and the views of the gardens. Prices for drinks etc were reasonable too.

All in all I had a very relaxing and pleasant time there.

I know it's a year late in submitting this review but never mind. After visiting Kyrenia in 2007 (Almond Holiday Village) we decided to visit the Denizkizi as we had visited it in 2007 and were impressed with its location and private beach. We were very pleased with our decision. We stayed at the DR on a B&B basis and used local eateries in the evening. Breakfasts at the DR were excellent with a wide choice on offer. Room was excellent with beautiful sea views. Most of our time was spent at the pool which we had to ourselves for most of the time. Pool bar was excellent with a wide range of meals and drinks, all reasonably priced. One of the highlights for me was the fact that the hotel served Efes on draught - one of the few places we have found in Northern Cyprus that actually serve draught beer. We visited the mainland this year on an all-inclusive basis in a 5 star hotel but it could not compete with the Denizkizi Royal so we have booked to return here in 2012.
