High Life - Ozankoy

We came in the off season, and it was so calm and quiet at this hotel. The service was great before we came (all questions answered immediately) and great as guests. The owner and service staff were great. The beach was so quiet and beautiful, but the ladder to the water would be difficult if you have any knee/ankle/etc issues. The restaurant food was fine and they played lovely music at a great volume. The room was comfortable. The location is great for a quiet time at the hotel, but not great for getting out and exploring without a car. We were unable to get a taxi for our evening plans (no fault of the hotel, but you might want to stay out or rent a car). Wi-Fi was spotty but mostly worked. I would definitely come back to this hotel. —Americans in their late 30s on friend trip.

This was our first holiday in Kyrenia, though we had visited before on a day trip from Paphos many years ago. We said then that we would like to come back someday. Well this is that someday . The wife did a lot of research and found The High Life. A lot of very good reviews from people who seemed to return many times. The wife corresponded with Huseyin several times. Each time he answered our questions and gave us confidence that this was a nice place. Huseyin organised a taxi from Larnaca airport. You do need to have your passports to hand to cross the boarder between the North and South. The wife has food intolerances to Mushrooms, Garlic, Onions and has recently been diagnosed with Diabetes. Huseyin together with Eugenie, the manager, helped her to be able to enjoy the food and drink at the hotel. The hotel has a Whats App group for every room where you can book a taxi, and contact the hotel should you have any problems while away from the hotel. A cracking idea. The staff, Victory, Sarah and Anna were the best we had met in a very long time, always going the extra mile, to make our holiday that little bit extra. And Bik, the chef, amongst other job titles. Bik and Eugenie helped the wife with the ingredients of all meals, taking out the items the wife was unable to have and adding those she could have. The food in the day and at night was very tasty, and reasonably priced. The views over the med at meal times was fantastic. Looking out over the Med you will find the 3 tiers, the first is a wooden deck area with an Egg Chair , the next is a grass area with 2 sunbeds, and the last is a paved area where there are several sunbeds and sun shades. If there is one negative comment I have, and its the only one, it would be the steps down to the paved area. We prefer to be next to the sea, rather than the pool. The climb back up to the hotel is very steep and you need to be fairly fit to do it. You need to climb back up for meals, refreshments and the use of a toilet. So staying down there all day is not an option. The rooms were spotlessly clean (cleaned each day) and comfortable. Some had views over pool and some with views over the gardens towards the port. The gardens were well kept. We used to take a walk out into the surrounding area, Karakum, to eat midday or evening. There are some very nice restaurants within a 20 minuet walk. You must look for the ice cream shop called Mardo 's, (Its next to a supermarket called Malto), some of the nicest flavours you will find. We had a great time there, meeting some great people from around the UK and Germany. Would we go back?? I don 't know. As I have said there was only one negative for us, the steps up and down to the sea. We prefer the sea to the pool so this was an issue for the wife 's knees. I would like the say a huge THANK YOU to Huseyin and the family of room 35 who arrived after we had left. We had, unknowingly left 2 of the wife 's rings in the safe. We realised that they had been left behind a couple of days after we had arrived home. The rings were found and Huseyin has arranged for them to be posted onto us when the family arrive back in the UK. Thank you all.
