Northern Cyprus Holidays from AU$1,181

It was good and near the beach

Let’s start with the positives — won’t take long: the rooms are spacious, breakfast is à la carte (which I actually prefer), and there’s a “refreshing room” you can use for a shower if you have a late flight. That’s pretty much where the excitement ends. Now, let’s talk reality. The pool is right next to a busy road — so forget about peace and quiet unless you’ve got noise-cancelling headphones or enjoy the smell of exhaust fumes. Housekeeping? Well… I spilled coffee near the sofa. The stain stayed with me for 7 days — we really bonded. Weekends? Say goodbye to sleep. The rooftop bar turns into a party zone until 1:30 AM. So either bring earplugs or join the party — there’s no in-between. And here comes the best part: the hotel proudly claims “150 meters to the sea” on their website. Technically true… if you’re a seagull flying over rooftops. What they don’t mention is that the nearest beach is actually 1 kilometer away. My room had a “slum view” — very authentic. On the bright side, it was quieter than the pool-view rooms, which come with front-row access to the bar noise. Bottom line: if you have low expectations, strong earplugs, and a sense of humor — this place might just be for you.

Nice clean, well equipped modern apartments. Well located for Paphos harbour and beach. Friendly helpful staff. Would recommend
