Review:
Just returned from the Ship Inn Hotel in Kyrena. The hotel was very good for this sort of holiday. Lovely grounds, low level buildings and a beautiful view of the mountains from the back. Food was also reasonable with a selection of 3 starters and 3 main meals each evening. Even during the 2nd week, still some new items on the menu. I agree with others though, too many chips!!! I would also have liked a separate childrens' pool as the beaches were a good bus ride away and soetimes the pool had too many children in it!!!! Rooms were clean but in need of a bit of a facelft. My fridge didn't work and t took a few days to get it replaced. Staff were realy nice. The location was not quite as I expected. It was quite a way from the nearest accessible beach...too far to walk. Kerenya Harbour was also a bus ride away as, mentioned by others, the main road was busy and in August, far too hot to walk far.We found a lovely, friendly bar across the road but that was about the only one in in walking distance. If you want fabulous food, go to Ambience Restaurant, (a taxi ride away)
I was very nervous about going on my first singles holiday but the people I met really made the holiday. (you know who you are!!!) were fabulous and I hadn't laughed so much ever!!! Hope we didn't keep everyone awake when we sat round the pool after midnight!!!
The trip to the top of the Pan Handle was excellent. I would suggest renting a car if you like the beach as the really fab beaches (such as Turtle beach and Golden beach) are not accessible by public transport. 4 of us went to the nearest Turtle Beach by taxi and a return cost us approx 70 TL, return. You could try haggling!! I would definitly return to North Cyprus but next time a different location. The castle at Kyrenia is well worth a visit.

Just returned from a week in Kyrenia at the Ship Inn. As a first timer I was a little apprehensive about holidaying alone but after making contact with others travellers on the forum I felt much better.
The hotel was clean and comfortable and all the staff were very polite and helpful. I enjoyed the opportunity to take part in some of the optional excursions. We had a fantastic day travelling around the Karpaz peninsula despite the heat. Our guide Lina was very knowledgeable and managed to keep most of us entertained on the long drive (some slept!! - yes you know who you are!)
The Cypriot Night was also very enjoyable - well worth it.
All in all...I met some very lovely people, made new friends and had a super holiday. I thoroughly recommend it!

This was my first singles holiday and I had the best holiday ever. I was really really nervous about booking this holiday and even though I pretty much get on with anyone I was a bit worried about who would be on the holiday and whether we would get on. There were seven of us ranging from 32 years old (I am 35) to 60 years old and we had the best time ever. I have never laughed so much in my life and have made some new amazing friends. I would recommend this type of holiday to anyone.
The Hotel itself is really nice. The staff are fantastic - nothing is too much trouble and the rooms are nice and clean. It is a taxi ride to Kyrenia harbour but its also easy to get a bus. There are some lovely beaches accessible by bus or taxi and staff at hotel / reps / taxi drivers will be able to recommend where is best to go.
An amazing holiday with amazing people. Can't wait to go again next year !!

Just back from Ischia, fabulous holiday. Stayed in Forio at Lord Byron Hotel which was really good. Small and friendly, very clean, wonderful spa and exceptionaly helpful staff. Maitre de very good and always willing to help with food if menu not what was wanted. Ischia is beautiful with great things to see, but must visit Negombo a truly fab spa set in the most beautiful location. Annapaolo, solitaire rep in Ischia extremely helpful and always available. Altogether a great holiday

Well Magsie, NOBODY replied to my message !
Felt slightly embarrassed thinking that I'd made a spectacle of myself so I actually deleted it !
Consoled myself with the prospect of spotting some Solitair labels at Gatwick. Wrong - wandered aimlessly around there feeling thoroughly dejected.& spent the whole journey on my own wondering what on earth I'd let myself on for. By the time I got to Turkey I was almost suicidal.
Eventually hooked up with some others on arrival. Think there were about 8 / all different shapes and sizes / all different age groups / all trying to make polite small-talk / all standing round twiddling our thumbs waiting for what seemed like eternity for the last remaining person to turn up. It was probably about 6pm Turkey time and I'd been on the road since 6am / was really tired, irritable, starving hungry and getting totally pee'd off - especially when I found out that half of them were actually on the gulet. Thought I was going to spend a week in a strange hotel, in a strange country, virtually on my own with the company of what I thought could only be described as a really dour, motley crew ! Really not my cup of tea / anxiety was about to go off the richter scale and I just wanted to go HOME !
Well mysteryman never turned up - and if you're looking in pal “thanks for nearly giving me heart failure, but you missed out on an absolutely brilliant holiday”
The hotel was actually full (except for mysteryman's room) and all those people of different shapes and sizes turned out to be a fantastic crowd / the differing age groups all mixed in, and we all got along famously / and the motley crew turned out to be some of the nicest people I've ever met.
So why didn't you all come on the forum beforehand ? … You were busy packing – yeh right !
Enjoyed myself so much I'm going back again this year, and if mysteryman wants to come along he's most welcome !
