The Best Time...
The hotel was fantastic – my favourite so far that we have visited in Northern Cyprus. It is not intimidating luxury, just very comfortable luxury. The rooms are spacious and nicely appointed. The outside is so beautifully landscaped and set far enough back from the road that it does not feel like it is on main road. The lobby has plenty of seating and the early evevning crowd has room to mill around, get snacks and drinks and chat before the restaurant open for dinner.
The restaurant is also great…You can choose to either dine room or sit outside, where you can overlook the swimming pool and feel the sea breeze on your face. My husband and I sat outside on the verandah and enjoyed our breakfast. I think we sat and ate for about 1 hour or so.
You will get to know all of the guests nad the staff because everyone is so pleasant and always offering tips on the best places to done, etc.

Fantastic!!!!!
We stayed at Club Simena last summer. The rooms and the grounds at this hotel are beautiful and very well kept. The staff was always helpful and available whatever the situation. The rooms were cleaned every day while we were away. We never had to wait for the taxi no matter what time it was.
They have two beautiful swimming pools: one is the main one and the other is for the kids. There are sports and activities daily or you can get a massage or a workout at the hotel’s gym. The main pool has a swim up bar for food and drinks. The sunset in North Cyprus are truly and the view from our terrace was awesome. We could sit and watch the sun set behind some beautiful mountains.

Great time!!!!!
When we wanted to go out at night we just took the bus, which stopped at our hotel. It was a longish ride, but nothing terrible. There were a lot of nice – looking families at the hotel. The four of us were all 34 years old when we went and we wanted a relaxing, low – key vacation with the option of going to clubs. Our room was wonderful, very big and clean and pretty. The staff were very unobtrusive, and we are very low – maintenance so we did not interact much with them. The front desk was great about changing quids to turkish lira. We had breakfast every morning at the restaurant by the pool, always very good. The best part was the pool area – plenty of lounge chairs and the pool was big abd very clean. For most of day they had a “host” playing music and leading games. The guests enjoyed it, we weren’t interested. We love the swim – up bar and the tropical frozen drinks were delicoius but we didn’t spend much on drinks anyway.

Holiday in paradise!!!!
There are big – resort amenities in a small and intimate environment. There is Intrnet access, restaurant, bar, poolsnack bar, pool, gym, sauna, and even a minigolf course. It is peaceful and quite yet only 20 minutes from Kyrenia downtown, with its hundreds of shops, restaurants and tourist attractions.
Our ground – floor unit came fully furnished. There was sofa in the living room, full bathroom, mini – fridge, a color TV and a phone.
It may sound too good to be true, but seeing is believing! We loved the place! There is a local friendly bilingual manager available for any questions or problems.
It is the perfect luxury vacation at a very affordable price!

I will never forget this time!!!!!!!
My wife and I visited Club Simena over Eastern weekend in 2007. Our visit was relaxing and luxurious. The property is beautiful, very clean and well maintained. It was quite and peaceful while we were there. The hotel is definitely not for those who come to party.
It is more for those who are looking to unwind and spend some quality time with family or friends. The pool is a good size. Our room was spacious, with a kind – sized bed, minibar, bathroom with a shower stall and a terrace with two chairs. The bed was very comfortable and Frette linens. Every room in the hotel has either a mountain view or an ocean view and the view from our room was absolutely gorgeous. We sat outside for at least an hour every evening just admiring the landscape.
The restaurants at the hotel are very good. For our fifth anniversary, we ate at the Club Grill, which was wonderful. On the way out, the host gave me a rose to take with me. They really made the effort to make our holiday special. We order roo...Read more
