I am sorry to write a "bad" report on a property, but feel I have been deceived by my trusting of so many positive, glowing reports. My expectations were high after having read so many good reviews on this site. Yes, the manager and his mother are welcoming and the gardens are beautiful. For me, this is where the positive... More

In essence it is difficult to fault this "hotel" on the basic principal that it is cheap and should actually only really be considered as a guest house. The son and mother team who run Lapida obviously take great pride in their hospitality and this is clearly evident from the minute you meet them and are warmly greeted and made... More

The hotel, as the other reviews say, is firmly family run. We went last week in Oct when it was quiet but the weather still fine in the day and cool enough to have the log fire going in the evenings. The pool and garden are fantastic as is the view up to the mountains. The rooms are a bit... More

They tell youy that Cyprus is paradise when they welcome you at the airport, and if that is so, then the Lapida Hotelin Lapta, near Kyrenia, is a guest house in Paradise! Family run, family values and with a warmth of welcome rarely found these days, a holiday here is just wonderful. The food is genuine local Turkish Cypriot, cooked... More

My wife and I have only just found the Lapida Hotel after visiting Northern Cyprus many times over the years and are delighted that we did. This gem of a hotel is one you are reluctant to share as you want to keep it a secret to yourself.It is a true family concern as Fethis runs it; his mother Mesy... More

WE, Stayed 11 nights for a very reasonble amount & found the service (Ishmail mainly) was fine. Mary was loverly & Fethi was all thing to all men, they are all working hard to keep going & give a good service in difficult times. There were, of course a few niggles, but we had a great time, the pool &... More

We have just got back from the Lapida and agree with the previous reviewer’s comments. The hotel is essentially centred around the very affable Fethi and his mother Mary and this is where things start to go a bit wrong. They are trying to do it all themselves and, as a result, standards are not what they could be. Firstly... More

Yes, the Lapida is great - the setting of mountains and gardens fabulous and relaxing, It's nearly in danger of over-extending itself, but Fethie is aware of this, and talking of hiring more staff/drivers as well as buildng on more bedrooms, but it would be a shame to lose the family charm , which happens among the guests as well...

Having just got back from the Lapida Hotel and read some of the recent reviews, I would agree with most of what has been said about this hotel. Fethi is a very good host but from what I understand has maybe extended himself a little too much this year. As a result, some of the hotel side of things have... More
