I have just returned from yet another lovely holiday staying at the Hotel Sempati. For anyone wishing to visit Northern Cyprus and who wishes to stay in a small, friendly, family run hotel then the Sempati is perfect for you. It is located about 9 miles outside the lovely town of Kyrenia. The local bus is very reliable and can be picked up from the end of the road and takes about 25 mins. The hotel itself has about 38 rooms all well appointed with hairdryers, fridges and air conditioning. The staff are all extremely helpful and friendly and all speak good English. The hotel prides itself on providing a peaceful and relaxed environment with the pool surrounded by lovely gardens. There is a Dive Centre based at the hotel so for anyone wishing to do their PADI this is an ideal spot.
All meals are taken in the outside restaurant during the summer months. Breakfast is good with both English and Turkish cuisine and Bar Snacks are available throughout the day. For the evening meal guests can choose to opt for set menu (which changes daily) or go fo A La Carte. The prices are very competitive and the food is good, Afternoon tea and cake is served from 4.00 pm - 6.00 pm.
Once a week there is either a Cyprus Night or a BBQ with live music. Here again the food is of an excellent standard with guests enjoying music and dancing. The hotel also offers various trips for those guests who do not wish to hire a car these are competitively priced and include visits to Farmagusta, Salamis or Kyrenia itself.
The hotel also offers a private taxi transfer to and from both Ercan and Larnaca Airport. Transfer time to Larnaca is approximately 1hr 30 mins and to Ercan approximagely 40 mins.
In summary, therefore, for anyone wishing to find a small friendly hotel with the emphasis of peace, relaxation, good service and cleanliness I would have no hesitation in recommending the Hotel Sempati. The owners and staff certainly make their guests feel very welcome and by the number of repeat guests it is obvious they are doing their job very well indeed.
