Just had a 10 night break there on half-board. Plus points include Breakfast has the usual fare plus grilled tomatoes, scramble or boiled eggs as well as baked beans. Poached or fired eggs also available at no extra cost. Lesley always tries to arrange a choice of both English and Turkish main courses in the evening and the food was nice and plentiful. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the cleaners and gardeners did a good job.
Minus points were that in the evening everything seems to drift towards watching football in the bar downstairs and nowhere really to go for anything else. Girne (Kyrena) is more than 10 minutes away, and the TV channels in the apartments are only for Turkish people. The nearest beach is quite a walk away. Basically, you get what you pay for at this hotel and it is great value for money. Would go back again.

Plus points first -
Transfer to and from the airport was well organised by the hotel, and the driver was friendly and informative.

Gardens were colourful and there were many varieties of citrus trees (hence the name) around the well cared for pool. Breakfast was good, fresh fruit, yoghurt, cheese, breads and some cooked food, with different types of eggs to order.

The room was clean and quite comfortable. But, we would have liked at least one electric ring so that we could have made our own hot drinks rather than having to pay extra for a water heater/cooler.

The shower was sporadic. Although few guests were staying, water was sometimes at a trickle, and very cold.

The hotel is on a busy road, which makes the walk to the restaurants/beach a bit unpleasant- but this can be avoided by using the local buses. But the noise did affect us in the room, and in the pool area.

We appreciate that we were staying out of season, but do think that there should have been more choice, and more authentic Turkish cypriot food in the evening.

nice family run hotel,rooms basic but clean.location was a bit isolated agood thirty minute walk to a public beach,and difficult to walk to restaraunts at night due to unlit and unpaved road,staff very friendly and helpfull ,sadly not for us due to location

We have visited Northern Cyprus before and stayed at several hotels - however the Citrus Tree is our favourite now!After checking onTrip Advisor I booked the two week stay there directly with Mustafa via e-mail and Skype - and he also organised our taxi from Larnaca airport . It was very easy to do a direct booking- Mustafa replied to emails promptly answering any questions I needed to know. We were made very welcome by him and all his staff, nothing was too much trouble. Most of the guests staying there had stayed at the Citrus Tree year before, and we could see why they return on a regular basis. The accommodation was great, comfortable, clean and the added bonus of the water cooler ( just a small additional charge) made our stay even better. We were on half board( which I would recommend) - breakfast was excellent, continental and cooked breakfast available, and the evening dinner served by the staff was varied and delicious.The gardens and pool were lovely -the pool clean with plenty of sunbeds and towels provided. Car hire was available from Mustafa - although we used the dolmus which could be picked up outside the hotel. There is a public beach about a half hour walk from the Citrus Tree, sandy, clean and a small cafe there too.Others could be reached with a short dolmus ride. We look forward to making another booking for 2012 , and thanks to Mustafa and his happy staff there for making our stay so memorable. Irene and Rita
