“Yet another great holiday”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We've just returned from another great holiday at this hotel.The staff and other guests made our holiday wonderful.

We look forward to returning again next year.

The swimming pool is great. There was really good bar atmosphere - for those who want one.
At breakfast and there was plenty of choice, and having meals in the open gives a real holiday feeling, as it was really warm. The once a week barbecue evening with live music and a singer, was especially good, with dancing until late.
Kyrenia town and harbour are nearby and there are plenty of good quality restaurants, locally.
Our bungalow was very nice, towels were changed daily and bedlinen every other day.
The very helpful English receptionist Sandra (is returning to England) and will be missed.
All the staff were extremely helpful and we like to think of them now as our friends.

Room Tip: As there's no lift in the hotel ensure your travel company is aware of your needs!

“Ignore bad reviews - this place is great”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

Firstly I would like to say a huge thank you to Libby Main at Cyprus Paradise for recommending this hotel and for all the hard work that she did in booking the holiday for us - a credit to the company and an absolute star !

Firstly I have to say that I cant comment on the bungalows as I didn't stay in them but I have been told that they are being done up but it's taking time to get them done as the complex is always full all year round - surely a testimony to the popularity of the place and that they must be doing something right !!!

We stayed in a lovely room on the first floor at the back of the hotel with fantastic views of the Kyrenia mountains. The room was spotlessly clean and there was a well stocked fridge, clean towels every day, air conditioning, TV and room was tastefully decorated. Great balcony for sitting on (south facing so gets the sun all day) with views to die for.

The hotel has great amenities and is very well and tastefully decorated. Food was lovely - stayed half board and the breakfast was fresh and filling and evening meal was great - being a veggie didnt prove a problem (as I've experienced in the past elsewhere) and the service was efficient, polite and without fault at all - the staff were smiley, friendly and always happy to help. We arrived late in the evening on our first day to be told that they had kept the kitchens open for us and they would provide any meal that we liked. On our last day we left at 4am and were provided with sandwiches to take on our journey home - small touches that meant a lot.

I cant fault the hotel at all and nor can I fault the staff. The only thing that I did find annoying were the professional whinging Brits (mostly well beyond their sell by date) who lumbered down for breakfast moaning and then lumbered over to the sun loungers by the pool - moaning ! If the old fossils dont like a clean, well run hotel with great staff then stay at home in the wet and cold so that those of us who do appreciate having a good time can have one !!!!!

Ignore the moaning on Tripadvisor about this place and go and book yourself a fantastic holiday.

“Nice Holiday SHAME about the food etc”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 October 2011

Arrived like most late at night having spent 13 hours travelling (you have to when you live in the North of Scotland). Arrived to be told that we were in a hotel room on the 1st floor (stairs)( one of our party has bad ancles and stairs are an issue) also there was a bath...... Advised the reception male that we had booked a bungalow to be told that there was none available, but that there might be one in the morning !!!!
After Breakfast ....... mmmmm some things should not run off the plate and others should move.... enough said.
We were shown to the servants quarters (bungalows that have not been refurbished) and decided that it was better than staying in the hotel room on the 1st floor as there was a sitting room with a kitchen area (kettle and fridge, sink and draining board, Mugs and plates and glasses) and dining area, 2 patios with table and chairs, bedroom, bathroom with shower (which could do with re sealing) as the ants decided to invade but give Mhemet (handyman) his due he got rid of them once or twice without much problem.

Sandra (who is leaving) who works reception will be sorley missed as if you had a problem, looking for info or not feeling well she could always help.

Evening food was not great in choice for the HB option and the al a carte (give it a miss for the pasta dishes, spent 2 days in bed with upset stomach)

Some of the staff are really friendly and some are to be desired.
Sunbeds - make sure and take your towel down at breakfast otherwise when the hotel is full you have no chance later on.

All in all in the end a nice relaxing holiday was had, we will in future return to Northern Cyprus but to where who knows.

Room Tip: Make sure and ask for a modernised bungalow and get it in writing before departure. anything below...

“Altinkaya Holiday Village”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 September 2011
4
people found this review helpful

This is a very friendly hotel with most of it's guests having stayed there previously. The hotel staff are very obliging and nothing is too much trouble. There have been comments of the bungalow accommodation not being satisfactory but as I did not stay in one I am unable to comment. I stayed in the actual hotel and the room was clean though perhaps a little tired and in need of makeover, the hotel rooms are on the second and third floors and the views are pleasant. The major drawback is that there is no hotel lift which means guests have to access the rooms via either 2 or 3 flights of stairs.
