Stayed there 3 years ago Dec/Jan only 6 of us there so had the chef to ourselves who asked us each morning what we wanted for evening dinner but can't image this goes on during the busy weeks. A lovely Hotel but a good walk from the main road no transport down there you would need to hire a car which you can do from the Hotel was a bit more expensive than other car rentals, it is near a small beach and unless it is cleaned up during the season I would not go near it. The bar prices were well over the top even for a small bottle of water with a meal. It is a family run Hotel and very friendly and if you want peace and quiet then this is a good place to be, nice gardens with a good pool.

Have been down there last week to see about booking some friends in.

It is .3 of a kilometre from the main road. There are buses into Girne every half hour untill 1900hrs and a taxi into town is 10tl which is about £3.50.

Very quiet and they do not permit children under 12 years of age.

Lots of cats which appear quiet healthy.

The patio area where you dine in the good weather overlooks the sea and there is also a view of the ferry terminalto the left.

There is no beach to tralk about but they have told me that they are having some refurbishment work carried out this month and next.

The lady ( daughter of the owner ) we spoke to is named Essen and took my wife and I round to see and it was very clean with rooms which are quite pleasent.

You can hire a car but if you wait until here you can shop around and can get some good deals.

As I said we wanted to book some friends in and have done for August.

We also spoke to some people who were stopping there and the said it was very g

They should enclose that area by the sea and turn it into a lovely restaurant, we dont have many restaurants that are right on the sea front. They would do well. Veranda is one of the lovely restaurants overlooking the sea.

It is a nice restaurant with outside eating and they do advertise near the main road Kleftoko night I think it's Wednesday so must be open to non-residents, they have a website more info on there probably.

Lovely place run by lovely people, well organised and frinedly.



Only negative comment, take your own T bags and dispose of them outside somewhere, the ones in the room are (were) 2.5tl each.
