Arkin Palm Beach Hotel

It was a great pleasure to stay again at Palm Beach Hotel. Excellent location just beside Varosha, it is easy to get a tour to Varosha just walking 500 m far from the Hotel. The beach front provides you excellent swimming and snorkeling possibilities, under water life is relatively rich at this part of the beach, my daughter and me were swimming with a big turtle, it was a lifetime experience for us! Breakfast is excellent too!

We had amazing vacation here! The food was always very delicious and the beach is beautiful and the sea is perfectly clear. The pool (indoor & outdoor) was very nice and clean, the water gets changed frequently.. The staff is very friendly and they are working with perfection! We really loved being there and would go there again! The hotel was about 10-15minutes from the border so we could go to the greek part of cyprus pretty easy with rental car.

nice breakfast with a view of Varosha, Dinners so-so. Room a bit small but functional enough. Public areas very nice. We had two surprisingly excellent cocktails at the bar. Location, for us, was superb and the main reason we chose this hotel, as we had come to Famagusta specifically to see the ghost town of Varosha, which is just steps away from the hotel. For getting to the Old Town of Famagusta we hired a taxi, as it would have been too long a walk from this location. Plenty of free parking was appreciated.

The breakfast was royal with an amazing mix of cuisines and a live kitchen. So many varieties with ingredients bought off the best companies in town... for example, there were 12-15 kinds of jams! Quality and quantity were too exceptional. I had asked them to do something special for our stay as were celebrating our first wedding anniversary. They upgraded our room to junior suite with sea view and put a giant heart-shaped pillow on our bed; it was so kind of them to do that for us. The location is marvelous as well, the view and the silence.... too good.

We had three wonderful days. Everything was just as we had dreamt about. A very comfortable room, friendly and professional staff, excellent breakfast, very tasty a la carte dinner options and the best of it all: the location directly at the sandy beach is fantastic. We will definitely return to Palm Beach
