Karavas Hotels with Airport pickup service

Firstly I need to declare an interest in that when we lived in Cyprus 20 years ago we visited this hotel on a regular basis. We therefore were not sure as to what we would find. We were in no way disappointed. Where to start? Well from the outset we were treated with the utmost kindness and courtesy all of the staff from the waiters to the reception staff ,the bar staff to the room cleaners were top notch. On that point a little Turkish to the extent of please and thank you goes a long way. The facilities are very good (four pools including water slides) the gardens are immaculately kept and the sea and especially the mountain views are spectacular. Let me deal now with the admin side ,the meals are typically Turkish in style. Don't go expecting bacon and eggs or Yorkshire pudding meals are served buffet style and as said typically Turkish most of which we found delicious. The room we had was excellent and spotless. Two beds and a balcony with a sea view. The room was cleaned daily with fresh fluffy towels and toiletries provided. We only had a shower so if a bath is your thing ask. There is a free shuttle bus to Sunas beach club which hotel guests can use free of charge (usually £5.00 per person) this place is very plush. The hotel is a bit off the beaten track so if you want to explore the TRNC then a car would be a good idea. It's a 15 minute walk down to the main road from where you can get a Dlomus minibus to Girne. This is turning into War and peace so I'll end by saying we came fory 60th birthday and have had a fantastic time . Big shout out to Emra for looking after us so well.

A great place to chill, buffet breakfast, plenty of choice. Evening meal, plenty of choice and plentiful. Ideal for nature lovers with nearby hills for walking. Shuttle bus into town is ideal for visiting Kyrenia. Spacious accommodation, great views of sea and mountains. Swimming pool, is brilliant, when open, closed at moment due to low season and maintenance. Great place for family or lone travellers.

We spent three nights here. Today we arrived safely. The Merymen Hotel is a family run business. Out of Girne about 12 kms.. Plenty of parking and nice gardens and some goats and chickens at the back. Plus a nice swimming pool.. Credit to the following team members. Skakuri. Zahid. Romanick and Ruth. They were so happy to help. Many thanks for your company. The food was great plus the hot and cold beverages. Costa and Urmilla Constantinides. 21st May 2023.

Stayed here for one week in October. The weather was extremely hot during our stay. We arrived early hours of the morning due to a late Easy Jet flight into Larnica then hanging around for our private transfer driver. The journey across the border wasn’t too bad but most of it across open farm land in the pitch black which was quite unnerving. I booked a superior room in the new wing above the restaurant. The room was modern, large & with a small balcony where I sat in the morning with my coffee watching the sun rise. Being at the back of the hotel, there was no issue with noise. We were on a bed & breakfast tariff as eating out in Northern Cyprus is very reasonable. Most of the guests staying here were either frequent returning guests, part of a tour group or only visiting for a few days to Gamble at the ****** next door or for cheap cosmetic surgery! Getting a sun bed around the pool was not an issue and there was a large bar/snack bar where there were plenty of tables and chairs with many in shady spots. The bar staff came around the pool for drinks/snacks orders too. All the staff were helpful and very friendly. You could walk into the old town from this hotel but because of the heat we got a taxi. We did an organised trip to Famagusta and the Ghost Town. We took a taxi to Kyriena castle and a taxi to Belapaise Monastery. All worth doing. Glad I booked this hotel instead of down in the Old Town. Other couples we spoke to that were in hotels down town complained about the constant traffic noise. Plenty of eateries within a short walk but watch out, the pavements are very uneven and a lot are broken too. Unfortunately the harbour area was still closed off due to overrunning completion which was a shame but looked like it was nearly finished.

With a stay at Royal Palace Hotel in North Nicosia, you'll be within a 15-minute drive of Ledra Street and Cyprus Car Museum. This hotel is 3.4 mi (5.4 km) from Near East University Hospital and 4.8 mi (7.8 km) from University of Nicosia.Enjoy the recreation opportunities such as an outdoor pool or make use of other amenities including complimentary wireless internet access.Grab a bite to eat at one of the hotel's many dining establishments, which include 2 restaurants and a coffee shop/cafe. Wrap up your day with a drink at the bar/lounge. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM.Featured amenities include a 24-hour front desk, an elevator, and coffee/tea in a common area. Free valet parking is available onsite.Make yourself at home in one of the 65 air-conditioned rooms featuring minibars and LED televisions. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and satellite programming is available for your entertainment. Bathrooms have complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Conveniences include safes and desks, as well as phones with free local calls.

This hotel is integrated with the casino. On the whole, you can choose to sleep for one night. If you are staying for a few nights, it is still prudent. The rooms and facilities are outdated, the hotel waiters have basically no sense of service, they just park in front of the hotel, the breakfast wife is average, domestic Samsung level, but it is worth mentioning that the three peppers for breakfast are really delicious and sweet! However, it's weird to eat peppers early in the morning! The hotel area is not small, the scenery is soaring

The room was clean, the food was good. You ate whatever was available daily. Apart from that, the restaurant may also be appreciated if your current expectations are not too high.

We have visited North Cyprus may times and know and love the island. Having been together for 28 years we were married in August this year and decided to go for our 'honeymoon' to North Cyprus this, after a 4 year gap. Flight and hotels booked we had to cancel due to health concerns and after a wait and an all-clear were able re-book all. We chose the Dome, knowing the hotel but not having stayed there before. The location is excellent, right in the heart of the town and on the seafront, a stones throw from the newly renovated Venetian harbour. On arrival we received a wonderful warm welcome and our cases were whisked up to our room. We had been told that we would have a nice room with a large balcony. To our amazement were were shown into a large suite, traditionally furnished with a large super comfortable bed a jacuzzi bath, and huge balcony this was accompanied by a large platter of fruit. The hotel itself is traditional with original beautiful interior stained glass panels. The hotel is clean and well maintained. There was a huge selection of food at the buffet breakfast and we were able to enjoy it outside looking at the pool and surrounding sea. Swimming was a joy, the sea was warm and crystal clear. There is a seawater pool and steps down into the sea for swimm from the hotel decking area built over the rocks. A bit hard to describe, you have to see photos. Finally but not least, we can't thank Diler (on reception) for making us feel so welcome and special thoughout our whole stay. Can’t wait to go back.

We have recently returned from two weeks staying at Altinkaya. Altinkaya is somewhat of a conundrum as the grounds are beautifully maintained and it has a pleasant swimming pool. We stayed in the hotel on the first floor at the back of the building. The room was quiet and had a view of the mountains , although somewhat obscured by the tall trees that edge along the hotels boundary . The room was basic with a tiny fridge which was barely cold, the air conditioning worked well. There was a kettle and two mugs that had been hidden away in a cupboard , complimentary tea and coffee were not provided nor any drinking glasses, although upon asking the bar man happily gave us two wine glasses . Neither the glasses or mugs were replenished with fresh ones during our stay. The bathroom consisted of a narrow bath with an over the bath shower which was generally cold or luke warm. The cleaning and replacing of towels and bedding was very hit and miss and I had to ask for our bathroom to be cleaned properly after it not having been cleaned for several days. The pool was pleasant but unfortunately the mattresses on the loungers were grubby and some of the parasols filthy and appeared to be smeared with mud. The food in the restaurant was fresh but repetitive and basic. Staffing seemed thin on the ground but they were pleasant and happy to help. Information on trips and activities in the reception area is out of date , we asked about Horse riding and were told this had not resumed following covid , yet the poster remained during the entirety of our stay. The communal areas in the hotel looked very nice and we sat inside the bar ( which I think is used during the cooler months ) whilst there was a heavy storm one evening. The lounge area has a good library of books and there is a large new restaurant. In conclusion Altinkaya has the potential to be a great hotel it just needs some attention to detail.
