Where to stay in Karavas

Very good place for a short stay or for a weekend getaway. You do need a car,the place is on a hill, so without a car it will be a good exercise. We didn't try dinner, but breakfast was ok.

Everything's fine... He's a little tired, towards the end of the season. It's hard to imagine going to the sea in the heat.

It's very far from the center of Girne.

Everything was great, the pool, the restaurant, the only problem was that it was a bit far from the center.

Special thanks to Fatma Hanım for giving us a perfect room. A King of Price and Performance Hotel within walking distance of Merits (2 km)

A successful hotel with its cleanliness, location and services. I plan to go again.

I’ve been to many hotels in my life all around different countries but nothing is better then this one.

We came to hotel in the afternoon l room was big with sea viou very comfortable.. Salon in Hotel with nice new furniture.. Location is amazing...outside is the sea with sand beaches.. Service is excellent..very nice stuff frenly..polite..helpful..specially Mustafa Nice swimming pool..around you can seat and drink your coffee.. Relaxing atmosphere.... Breakfast don't have o lot of choices

We went here a lot of times in summer of 2023.The lady at reception is good,there are fixed prices for pool written near reception.Seaside/sand can be a lot more clean as there was some rubbish and no one cleaning.The food is ok,the chips are a bit greasy that was provided with the sandwich.Ordered an alcoholic drink and there was no alcohol in it,which was disappointing.The breakfast ended before...

It is a nice place, its beaches are not crowded. I don't know why the water is free on breakfast but not on dinner. (8x price) Staff can be considered friendly. The beach on the left side is rocky and you will encounter a a lot of waves. The beach on the right side is so much better and you can rent a jetski there for extraordinary prices. You will also encounter a lot of small fish, they will bite...

It is a nice place, its beaches are not crowded. I don't know why the water is free on breakfast but not on dinner. (8x price)

Only here for the day so not staying in the hotel. Good price, 30TL which includes lunch and of course use of their beach and pool. Great place to come for the day.

We visited the spa a year ago and we wanted to visit it again so we decided to stay in the hotel as well. First of all for the spa is the last time because the prices have doubled and more since last year. The hotel room they gave us was next to the pool and as soon as we entered the first thing we noticed were the 100 mosquitoes all over the room and bath. We told the guy who escorted us to our room...

Our stay was ruined by construction work continued for 4 days during our stay and noise was immense due to metal rotary cutter and hammering noise around swimming pool. We requested higher floor and quiet accommodation at the hotel as we were going to spend time with 7 months grand child. No one helped us. Also next door ground digging work added more misery. They should have informed us before welcoming...

It’s not clear you should sleep and no need many more things from that facility

From the moment we arrived at Palmonte, we were utterly enchanted. The hotel is a hidden gem nestled amidst breathtaking scenery. The staff were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Our room was spacious, impeccably clean, and boasted stunning views. The luxurious amenities, including the plush robes and high-quality toiletries, added a touch of extra indulgence...

We are half way through our stay and thought we'd write a review as not many on here which we are surprised about given how good this hotel is. We will be honest and when we arrived (late at night) we didn't seem that impressed and was concerned, however come morning we realised we had been probably overtired had to hasty to judge. The pool is gorgeous, plenty of day beds and sunbeds. If you are...

Beautiful hotel very attentive staff very clean we had a great time. Lovely weather so nice to chill out. Great and varied menu in the onsite restaurant nothing is too much trouble. My son asked about the amazing brioche buns made onsite and the owner gave him some to take home fantastic

Very lovelly and calm, beautiful place.

Fantastic atmosphere at the pool where you can have a pleasant breakfast at the pool after visiting the mini zoo in the botanical garden. The quality of running, service, taste, hygiene was mediocre. Go, go, enter the pool, have coffee and leave.

My stay at Merit Royal Diamond Hotel & Casino was excellent. The hotel has great restaurants with delicious food, amazing appetizers, and an appetizers bar that is open all the time. The service was outstanding and made the whole experience very comfortable. The highlight of the trip was the live concert by Özcan Deniz, which was amazing. His performance was powerful and made the night truly unforgettable

There is no hotel like Merit One & Only — truly unbeatable in all of Cyprus, not just Northern Cyprus. The quality of the food is next level, the service is exceptional, and the atmosphere is absolutely incredible. It’s something you really have to experience yourself, because it can’t be fully described in words.

My 33rd birthday was truly special. Honestly, it was the most beautiful birthday I have ever experienced. I spent three days at the Merit Hotel, and for me it was an incredibly wonderful experience! 🩶 In Cyprus, this is my favorite hotel! I feel so good here that I would happily return anytime. The hotel is impeccably clean, and the staff takes care of the room the moment you step out. The food is...

Our trip to the enchanting hotel was nothing short of exhilarating and romantic. From the moment we arrived, I was captivated by the breathtaking surroundings that seemed to whisper tales of love and adventure. The food was a culinary delight, each dish expertly crafted and bursting with flavors that danced on our taste buds. The service was impeccable; the staff was attentive and warm, making us feel...

Very good had a brilliant experience at casino

The best hotel. The service was excellent The staff are always smiling The food was delicious and wonderful The room is very clean . I fel relax. and would recommend staying at this beautiful hotel

Great hotel, nice staff, affordable price

The hotel used to be a good and big one before. But now it is too old. But it is calm and beautiful. The electric heating water is not working well and you may have problem when taking shower. The breakfast was good

Club Lapethos was a pleasure to be at. It was full of surprises. There is a tunnel underneath the road to the most beautiful breakfast area and beach. Breakfast was tasty and fresh. The bungalow was really clean and neat and the large pool was a welcome sparkly pleasure to swim in. Rafael, the barman and overall helper in the hotel was such a friendly, helpful young man. All the staff and the manageress...

Great experience for really reasonable price!!

comfortable hotel, delicious food, nice people

Water slides are OK. Health and safety doesn't exist there. No life guards. No one making sure no accidents happen on the bigger slides.

The best Casino experience 👌. The dealers, service and ambiance is wonderful.

We are coming to Merit Crystal every year as a family of four, and it always ends great. Some of the rooms are a little old and could use a refurbishment, but that’s really the only downside. The food is always excellent – plenty of choice, fresh, and great quality. The service is top-notch, with staff who make you feel welcome and well taken care of throughout your stay. The casino is big enough...

Merit Poker provided me with the best possible experience you can have in Cyprus as a poker player. The service is unparalleled and if you are a poker player visiting Cyprus this is your spot. You will be provided free transportation and hotel as long as you play 6 hours with a 45 minute dinner break included. The food in all the Merit hotels (Royal, Diamond, Royal Premium) is exquisite and one of...

Loved everything about this hotel. Exceptional quality of services, food, and amenities. We traveled with 3 adult kids. 5 of us had a great time. Used all their services. There were families with young kids as well. Food was amazing, all inclusive and impressive options for everyone were beyond belief. Highly recommended it.

Nothing compares with merit crystal cove. One if the best casinos probably in Europe

It's amazing..I couldn't hide my admiration when we came to the front of the hotel. Its exterior is mixed with add-ons from world architectures and colorful like hard candy.. Especially the sections about animals appealed to me a lot. its well-kept gardens were fascinating..In short, it offers you the natural life in its most beautiful and colorful form.

Can't thank Mehmet and all of his staff for the help and compasion shown to me and my partner. Unfortunately during our stay my partner passed away. I don't know what I would have done without the support and help that they gave me. Truly wonderful people and cant thank you all enough from the bottom of my heart. Judith x

What a fantastic time again at this hotel 3rd time and just booked flights again for next year lovely staff especially Mehmet the manager went out of his way to give us the rooms we wanted even though the hotel was busy can't recommend this hotel enough thanks again

We are fairly regular visitors at the Manolya Hotel. We feel like it is our second home. The hotel is family run and very friendly. Two of the owners Mehmet and Ayten have always been very warm and welcoming to us. Also all the staff, many who have been there for over 5 years. In particular Sarafat, Alum, Polash and Ismal to name a few. The level of service is fantastic with a personal touch. The rooms...

We have been staying in this hotel for several years, you couldn’t ask for a better placed hotel, you can walk down the steps into the sea, or stay by the excellent pool area, where there are plenty of sun beds. The breakfast is well stocked and you can have omelettes, or eggs cooked to your liking. At lunchtimes you can get great salads and food from the pool bar, at very reasonable rates. It...

We regularly visit this hotel and never disappoints, the rooms are spacious and the breakfast is lovely with lots of choice. The staff are so kind and helpful we will definitely be back.

Again a first class stay at Manolya. Family run hotel, great service and friendly staff, always obliging. Very good value for money, excellent breakfast. Swiimming pool and facilities 5 star plus, easy sea swimming as well. Good car hire service. Bars and resteraunts close by if eating out, easy access to Kyrenia. I will be booking for a return visit in May/June. Alan O'Dell.

Not.the hotel went to the market/car boot.nxt door.(sat morning. Good.get big double yoke eggs there.lot bargains.

There's no one here because of pandemia. But I like it.

Great hotel, lovely facities, villas are amazing. Food and entertainment not great but plenty of bars and restaurants near by. Would definitely come again.

The hotel is built as some kind of castle. Interiors are decorated in the same style. In my opinion it looks great. Accommodation in the main building is comfortable and cosy........but in bungalows very poor ( my rate is 1-2 stars only). The food served there is tasty and you can choose from variety of dishes. The menu however is monotonous. The hotel and its surroundings is calm and quiet. The beach...

OMG! I love this place: sound-healing, psychology groups, meditations, sauna, massage, awesome food 3 times per day and of course IV therapy. Lost weight during my stay ☺️ finally. Only minus: 2,5 hours of driving from Limassol. Better to stay at least 2-3 days.

We have been using Club Alda for years, being a cheap place to stay, always clean and not overcrowded. We have stayed there 3 times in the last 7/8 weeks, the price has gone up each time, it went from €30 to €40 then 3/4 weeks later €50 and just 2 weeks later went up to €55. I understand times are hard on the North side of Cyprus and the exchange rate in in our favour but we pay in € so its good for...

Lovely staff, we stayed longer than we had expected. Quiet and friendly.

Its nice place for me♥️ The staff and everything .I stayed there for 2 weeks and Reka offered to clean the room like every 2 days which is rare.Some hotels will ask for additional payment for that stuff..but they don't. Really good and 1km walk to the beach and supermarket. Also amazing view of the mountains, - captured by drone

Cheap, basic but wonderful staff

Nice, clean and quiet place. We stayed here for two nights in August 2019 and it was a pleasant experience. Not a luxury hotel but the price is reasonable. The stuff was very kind and friendly. A nice pool where you can spend some time without much noise around. We were given one of the "bungalows" which are small two levels apartments. Nothing spectacular here but decent, clean and quiet.

Standard rooms, helpful staff, fifth star if I come back in the summer to use the pool, currently closed 😜

Just returned from a week at this hotel Very clean great pool Friendly staff, AK & Olga very helpful Good place to stay

Just a few small changes and this place would easily be 4 stars. I was surprised to find you have to pay for tea and coffee in your room, every hotel I've ever stayed in, in all my travels this has been complimentary. No comlimentry water either and they charge you 5 times the price as the local supermarket next door! No fresh coffee at breakfast which for a country who do excellent coffee I was most...

The hotel is very good, clean and quiet. The staff also are good and friendly, especially the lady in the reception was so kind and generous.

Absolutely stunning location, the beach, the pool, the restaurant, but the most incredible thing was the dining on Sunday, where they cooked the lamb in the ground the old way and served in front of everyone. One of the experience must have. Highly recommend 👌

We visited for the day, as local beaches are litter-strewn in northern Cyprus it seems, but hotel-managed ones aren't. This is a lovely beach and facilities, great food, clean sea, and very lovely staff at the site.

Reading the reviews I was a bit hesitant about the hotel and that soon evaporated on the first day , breakfast was amazing, dinner was amazing, beach was good enough for being lazy , pool was clean , all staff were friendly, all cats were hungry, the only downside I could think of that should be underlined more is the beach , entering the water in some areas is very dangerous as it's not sandy but...

This hotel is a beautiful and charming place for a peaceful holiday. We enjoyed our time, the amazing staff, and the gorgeous views. We will definitely be back many times to come and recommend to others.

Cheap but really nice. Everything in one place. One is the best beach in TRNC.

The beach is cool, clean and was also not to crowded. You pay for each person 25 Turkish Lira in order to have your private space on the beach, which Is a very fair price. If you want to relax and enjoy the sun this beach is a great spot. We checked also the food on the restaurant that you can eat but we decided not to eat it. It was in our opinion too expensive and didn’t look so good.

The hotel is a bit tired but there is improvement being made over the winter period. There is a gem in this hotel and that is the owner who couldn't do enough for us, and her cooking is exceptional as she uses every fruit that is grown in the garden surrounding the hotel particularly for jam's and marmalade ect.. We will visit again next year.

A great place where you get what you pay for. The staff and hotel owner were kind and friendly. I was only planning to stay there for accommodation purposes while I was sorting out my dealings. Breakfast options are very varied. (But egg dishes were cold) I also enjoyed the swimming pool.

A way from the busy highway, this little gem of a hotel was a great find. The communtal areas are full for amazing antiques, photograps and books, but the rooms were very clean and modern, great hot water. Staff were pleasant and fascinating people very happy to tell stories of the island and their familes' past. There is a beautiful fruit garden at the back and collection your own fruit is welcomed...

I stayed at the Lapida Gardens for a week over Christmas on a walking holiday with Solos. There were 13 of us on our group and a few other guests on other days. The hotel itself is a little quirky and the family have a very large collection of antiques which are on display throughout the hotel. The gardens and pool area are lovely although as we were staying in December we did not use them much! ...

Nice and authentic hotel in Lapta. The decoration with antiques makes you relive the centuries of cypriot history. There is a beautiful garden at the Hotel with a pool, where you can enjoy the mediterranean sun and have a great outlook on the kyrenia mountain range.

I definitely would not rate this place higher than 3 stars. The room is comfortable, and the few staff were helpful. The hotel is not near the beach, and it’s not safe to walk along the road. You need a car. There is one market not far from the hotel. There are several restaurants within a few kilometers. The hotel is like a museum. There are so many antiques and a lot of dust. The WiFi is very slow...

This is very good and Personal are freindly and kind. I come back again and view is fantastic. Thank you for everything...🙏

Good location close to bus stop with local bus to Girne taking around 25 mins. The hotel is located down a quiet road within walking distance of the sea and coastal walkway. Additionally within walking distance of 2 supermarkets and bars. The Lapta Strip where there are several lovely restaurants is a 20 minute walk away. The hotel has two swimming pools, one with a small aqua park. It is a friendly...

We recently stayed at Hotel Sempati and had such a lovely time. The hotel has a relaxed atmosphere, very friendly staff, and a great location — about 15–20 minutes’ drive from the city centre, so it’s peaceful but still close to everything. The new pool and aquapark were fantastic! Clean, modern, and fun for both kids and adults. There’s also a quieter area if you just want to relax and sunbathe....

Overall perfect hotel for families and couples. Thank you very mucy for your hospitality. The buffet was very good choice of egg, warms baked pastries, english beans, mushrooms patato croquettes cereals or more Mediterranean fresh cheese cold cut options Dinner buffets were good we got half board we had fish meat chicken all cooked very well with meze options too. The lunch menu at the bar siitable...

We stayed at the room 1112 for 1 week. It was a very nice holiday. The hotel is very suitable for family. It has very nice facilities. The newly done water slides which is very fun for kids. Food is fresh Cyprus food which is delicious. The hotel belongs to family members. Which are very friendly. Very thanks to Sammy.

We had such a great time at this hotel! The pool area was absolutely beautiful — clean, spacious, and perfect for relaxing during the day. The aqua park was a highlight, especially with so many fun slides and activities for both adults and kids. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always making sure we had everything we needed. Our room was comfortable. Breakfast was delicious with plenty...

The service was mediocre and didn't match the price. The rooms were small. It was an all-inclusive hotel, but the food selection was limited, especially since the bars offered almost no "free extra charge" items. Room service was extremely slow; I had to call repeatedly to follow up. There were many swimming pools, and the water was clean.

Fantastic staff and a lovely , comfortable hotel. Plenty to do on the complex. You get taxied about in golf carts.

Everything was as it should be, thank you.

All services are top of the top. One thing which was super annoing is renovation of zone in front of hotel entrance which was woking us up each early morning.

We were very pleased with the Merit Park Hotel. We would love to stay again. Everything was great.

Warm welcome lobby staff, stunning sea view enough big comfartable clean rooms, spa, restaurant serve you special tasty meals expecially pizzas are perfect. You can find Gazino at downstairs. Thanks to all and hope visit again.

The hotel organizes summer parties. I went twice. Both times there was a fight, someone got stabbed. The police came. If you want to end the night with the police, go.

Unbelievable place, this family run hotel made me feel welcome and comfortable from the minute I arrived until the minute I left, highly recommend! I will be back every year, sue and sudar and staff you are legends Thankyou very much and I much look forward to seeing you again, thank you for your hospitality. 10 out of 10

We have stayed at the 'MOUNTAIN VIEW HOTEL' KYRENIA, on many occasions now, and every year it seems to get better with age. A really lovely, friendly hotel, which has been going for almost 20 years now, with many returning customers year after year, it shows you what a gem of a place this is. It's only a 3 star hotel, so don't expect all the trimmings of a 5 star, but for the price, you cannot fault...

Really nice accommodation, staff are extremely welcoming and look after you in your best interests made me feel at home and anything I needed help with they was there too support, as this is my first time travelling alone, affordable prices, good food, I will definitely be coming back here, really decent nice people, 10 out of 10!

Hidden gem , this hotel is great value for money and has the most amazing gardens and lovely pool area . The staff are friendly and Susie the hotel owner can't do enough for you highly recommend . My kids loved every minute of our stay

The location was very good for us, the rooms were clean and convenient, it was a 5-minute walk from the beach. We were very pleased with the attention and care. I would definitely recommend it. Our rooms were cleaned daily.

We had another amazing stay at Kaya Palazzo Girne with our family and child. The first time we visited this hotel was during New Year 2025, and we had such a great experience that we decided to return again and we are very happy we did. Everything about this hotel is excellent: the service, the atmosphere, and the professionalism of the staff. Everyone is very friendly and attentive, and you feel...

Everything at Kaya Palazzo was perfect. The service was fast, and the team was friendly and solution-oriented. The room comfort and cleanliness exceeded my expectations. The food quality was truly excellent. You gave us a clear reason to come back. Special thanks to our General Manager Mr. Hakan, Ms. Mücella, and Ms. Farida for their outstanding hospitality. Mr. Volkan at the reception was very attentive...

The bar snack menu is small but everything is the best of the best with high quality ingredients. I reccomend the pepperoni pizza and the cheese platter very nice and filling! Orange juice is the best also.

A wonderful stay at a lovely hotel. The decor is calm and serene, with subtle music to enhance the experience. All staff very friendly and happy to help with all your needs. The hotel was quiet (May) we almost had the pools to ourselves.! And the weather was still glorious. I would say, with a keen eye for detail, some minor work needs doing, rusty railings, a fresh coat of paint, speedier room...

The one of the best hotels I had

we are very happy to celebrate the New Year at the Kaya Pallatso hotel, we had a great time at the hotel, attended a concert, very professional and caring Fatma and Tugce arranged for us a great gift from the hotel in the room in the form of champagne, a milkshake for my child, sweets and chocolate, it was very nice, the best hotel in Northern Cyprus and the most professional staff and Efe

A Garden of Eden at the shore of the Mediterranean. A calm and peaceful place to relax and enjoy the unique flowers on the way to the resort ad of course the resort itself which is wonderful to sit and meditate or to swim. The manager, Leyla, and the staff are kind, friendly, and ready to help. Take bed and breakfast as the breakfast is really generous.

It was our first time in Northern Cyprus and we stayed at the Topset hotel which has just been re-opened after two years of being closed due to the Pandemic. The hotel is run by the loveliest family, all of whom made my partner and I feel so incredibly welcomed and relaxed during our stay. Our room was really nice and comfortable and in traditional Cypriot style, with stunning views of the sea from...

The hotel has two buildings, an older one and a newer one right in front of the swimming pool. All the rooms have a sea view, ours which was on the top floor of the original building was two floors, therefore very large and with a huge terrace. Unfortunately, however, the hotel is still in a recovery phase from the pandemic and many areas are not active. Furthermore, the breakfast, although good, was...

Arrived early hours of the morning around 2am, after travelling all day, taxi dropped us at the closed part of the hotel, it then took us another hour to actually find reception, so automatically it was a bad start, got to reception and was greeted by a lovely guy who got us checked in prompt and helped us to our room. Room was clean and spacious, we got a main hotel room, lovely view from balcony...

Very welcoming hotel with large comfy rooms. Staff very accommodating and very friendly. Set on the seafront with beautiful gardens. Excellent breakfast. Great pool area. Hotel is very very clean. Very comfy beds.

Our stay at Topset Hotel was sensational. Hotel: The location was perfect for us, a great property with a large garden, big pool and direct access to the beach. A kids pool, many chairs and sun beds as well as free parking direct in front of the hotel and fast Internet - what more to wish for? Room: Great seaview from the balcony, a table with chairs, fridge, water cooler and a comfortable bed -...

4 day stay on half board, it was very quiet due to time of year but good breakfast choice(Turkish) selection and able to choose off the menu evening all the food was very good evenings and there was a good selection, priced in euros which if we weren't half board made it dearer than most places around over here and I'd have gone out to eat if it wasn't included, drinks also expensive compared to local...

Very quiet at this time of year but even so service and food were of a high standard. Rooms were clean, air con worked and any minor issues were attended to promptly. Well situated for visiting Kyrenia and exploring northern Cyprus. Very few tourists around and if you enjoy exploring rather than sitting about it's a good time of year to go.

Given we have friends who have stayed in Ship Inn on 3 separate occasions it was a simple choice for us to select for two days before our ferry to Turkiye. The staff were polite, the presentation spotless and general ambience relaxing. We would definitely recommend when visiting Kyrenia

Front desk employees Elif and Haseeb were extremely helpful and polite, thanks again for your help with everything 🙏🙏 Bryce & Rita from Canada

Near Kyrenia Harbour We stayed here this October and the weather was just perfect The Ship Inn is in a great spot, only about 10–15 minutes from Kyrenia Harbour, which is really beautiful and historic. Exploring the harbour was one of the highlights of our trip, and getting back to the hotel was super easy. The hotel is on a main road, so there are quite a few buses going past, and lots of restaurants...

My partner and I had a wonderful stay at The Ship Inn. The peaceful location was exactly what we needed for a relaxing getaway, yet it was still close enough to Kyrenia town to pop in and explore whenever we fancied. The hotel has a lovely rustic charm, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming – they really made us feel at home. We booked through Cyprus Paradise and Kathleen was brilliant...

In today’s hustle and bustle world, Kemerli Konak is a true rare gem! This traditional boutique hotel perfectly captures the charm and soul of authentic Cyprus. Every detail, from the warm welcome, to the lovingly preserved décor, to the delicious traditional dishes, Kemerli Konak made me feel as though I’d stepped into a timeless haven. The property is covered with olive and fig trees and beautiful...

Excellent boutique hotel. Beautifully furnished, spacious, and comfortable, beautiful flooring, wooden beams,very comfortable beds,perfectly functional bathroom. Staff extremely friendly and professional thank you to all staff and the management team excellent service/ food service. Fourth time at hotel and booked again…. Can’t wait for our return…. This is a special place ….. once visited you will...

Our first visit was 5 years ago when the hotel was showing signs of lack of maintenance. Since then it’s deteriorated quite considerably. It’s a real shame as this place has charm and a lot of character with great potential. Our room had the smoke detector missing, dirty used cups with a crack in one. No need for this at €140 per night. 5 years ago we paid half that price.. Of course i realise everything...

If you want a unique, boutique, friendly, cosy hotel come here. Friendly check-in, a great twin room with good bathroom, comfy bed and small balcony with great view of the mountains behind and sea in front. We booked in for dinner at the restaurant that is part of the hotel, the Archway, and this is where you have breakfast (full English or Turkish) - the place has a nice bar, pool and views and...

This rustic-styled boutique hotel is a secluded oasis of calm while managing to be a 30 minute amble down the hill to Kyrenia Old port and a 5 minute drive up the hill to the Kyrenia Beltway and access to the rest of the island. The hotel splits into two blocks connected by a rustic bridge. The front block has an excellent covered café and equally excellent open-air cocktail bar, both of which are...

A very nice place to stay and with a great restaurant (food and staff; big thanks to Omar). We were treated with respect and attention. Muhammad was very helpful, but so were the other employees.
