Altinkaya Holiday Resort

Quiet peaceful hotel near the bottom of the mountains.Staff friendly and helpful at all times.The rooms were nice and clean.

Back at my second home Altinkaya. The fact that most of the guests return multiple times like myself speaks for itself. It’s like being part of the Altinkaya family, the welcome you get. I absolutely can not understand the criticism of the food, there are so many choices at both breakfast and dinner and the staff will always make you something if not. I can not recommend this home from home highly enough!

Hotel and rooms satisfactory. Evening meals terrible. An evening meal consists of one main dish usually either chicken bits or fish bits plus chips, pasta,rice or wheat,and some nondescript vegetable. All of which are warm but not hot. No other options . Never been to a hotel before that served such a poor selection of food.

For a hotel rated 3 star this place excels. The staff are very welcoming and friendly particularly Melissa in reception who will sort out any problems and advise on the locality. The bar area is very comfortable and as we were there in March the staff lit a lovely log fire in the lounge after dinner. The bar “ measures “ are on the generous side while the prices are startlingly low! Really recommend the Brandy Sours! The pool area is large and well maintained. There are a variety of different types of room-some modernisation is on going - ours was a large bedroom with walk in shower overlooking the pool. Rooms are cleaned and towels changed daily. We look forward to returning as this hotel is like a home from home !

Great holiday as usual Melissa and other staff are so frendly and professional, a credit to the hotel The rooms have been refurbished and are serviced daily to a high standard. Over the years the breakfast selection has become more and more varied, catering to everyone. In my opinion the hotel now deserves a much higher rating Many thanks 😊

Couldn’t have asked for better service. All the staff from reception, bar, cleaners, gardners & maintenance were helpful and polite at all times. Room was cleaned daily and beds made. Breakfast was plentiful and even incorporated a few English breakfast items (beans, sausage & fried egg) The couple of small issues we had were resolved quickly and without fuss. Despite our late arrival, 10pm, we were offer food. Although slightly out of town it was easy to get around by Dolmus, taxi or by foot. Sadly, when we were here, the harbour area of Kyrenia was closed for refurbishment. Would highly recommend for the time of year we came, quiet but not dead.

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.

Haven't been for a couple of years, needn't have worried it had changed. Staff wer amazing, from Melissa to the bar staff, security man, all went above and beyond to make our stay special. Took my dad for first time, he loved it. Big thank you to everyone at Altinkaya.

We have just returned from our 3 rd visit in year to the wonderfull family run hotel. As always the hotel does not disappoint the pool and grounds are impeccable maintained to a very high standard. The rooms /bungalows are comfortable clean and tidy . New rooms have been added thus year which very high spec. This hotel is like no other I have experienced here you are not a number you are treated like an old friend or family member ,this is why regulars return year after year two or three times a year. The staff are fantastic from top to bottom. All very friendly and willing to go out of there way to make sure your stay is memorable. Taking time to chat to you. They always go that extra mile. I have a special diatry need and the hotel went out of there way to ensure I was accommodated. A great hotel for all to enjoy from families couples and single travellers. Thanks Altinkaya see you next year.
