Me and my partner stayed at almond for 15 nights, we were with my partners parents also who have been to almond many of times before and highly recommended we come out also...we are glad we did!!!!

Staff
All the staff are amazing, on the way to breakfast in the morning you always get greeted by Dervise at reception and then going into the breakfast room you also get greeted by the 3 lovely ladies who put a smile on your face to start your day! When you go past any of the staff they say hello. Dervise and Goulten are normally at reception and If you have any problems or questions they are more then happy to help. You can also pay your bill of at any time be it a few days or after a week.
Evening waiters are also all so friendly and always wanting to help. The family feel is just perfect it really does have that caring touch. The room number you stay in once you say it once they know it for the rest of your stay which is nice. The bar man in the evening can sometimes get a couple of drinks wrong but only through a little language barrier but honestly didn't bother us too much! There is always a family member around to help.

Breakfast
There is a big selection for breakfast, there is continental of fruits and cereals and then there is a set menu for hot food. As they are so happy to please if there is something you fancy that Isn't listed just ask.

Lunch
The lunch menu is great from salads, wraps, burgers, pasta and much much more!

Dinner
The setting for dinner is lovely, menu has a wide variety but again if you wanted something a little different or extra you can just ask and they will see what that can do. We stayed in for dinner a few nights, which we enjoyed, you receive olives and bread to start followed by your other courses. The staff are always checking everything is ok and if you would like anything else.

Accommodation
We stayed in apartment 26. The apartment was great, very modern bathroom with a great size shower. Lounging area and bedroom also great! The air con works really well with all different settings to suit. One evening our remote had stopped working we went to reception at midnight and Ahmet sorted the problem straight away.

Cleanliness
Almond is one of the most cleaned, maintained place I have stayed at. The Gardens are just beautiful!! They are kept well under control and just look lovely! The cleaners went above and beyond our expectations in our room we were very pleased. Not only did they clean they also tidied some of our mess, sorry). The pool area, eating areas, seating areas all clean with all members of staff contributing.

The pool area is perfect, people get up and put towels on sun beds but this is not an issue as there is plenty of sun bed's and not often full!
Quiet music in the background which is just what you need! Staff come and collect glasses and if you smash one they are straight to help and clear it making sure you haven't hurt yourself.

Lucky is the family's dog who is just amazing! Where Ali is there is lucky, he keeps himself to himself but loves a stroke if you go past!
Aphrodité is the family cat, don't see her much as she is usually hiding in the shade.
There are also a few other cats around but they really don't do any harm they just want a little attention, there was a cute kitten when we were there and she was just perfect!

Only small thing to let it down would be the wifi there is many connections but they are just not that good! They do not reach any of the apartments. Not a complaint but maybe something that could be improved

Overall if you are looking for somewhere that you can feel relaxed, cared for and all your needs met almond is the place.

Thank you for having us, hopefully be back soon!

Our first visit to the Almond for a 3 day trip to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We received a great welcome -The traditional Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus welcome that we are used to when visiting "the North".
The setting within the grounds is superb with pool, pergola and bar well aligned to the atmosphere that the hotel attempts to generate. The kitchen prepares food to the highest standard from breakfast through to dinner with a wide choice to tempt anyone's taste buds. The clientele during our visit were predominately of UK origin, either resident in UK or Cyprus.
The staff are friendly and on evidence of our visit the breakfast and lunch staff were of a better standard than those at dinner time.
We had a few issue during our stay that were dealt with as quickly as could have been but more attention to room preparation is necessary. ( This comment will not come as a surprise to the owners who were told personally).
Our lodging was a garden cottage - entrance, lounge, kitchen, shower room and verandah on ground floor and bedroom on mezzanine floor. The rooms we experienced were ok but some TLC is needed to bring them up to the hotel standards set for welcome, food, drink and service.

Dearest Guest,

Thank you kindly for your review and also for choosing The Almonds to celebrate your special occasison - which we are honored by.

We are most pleased that you enjoyed our family hospitality, grounds, pool, food & service and we sincerely hope to welcome you back in the near future.

As a family we stive to deliver best service to our guests and to deal with any issue as soon as possible - and we thank you for pointing this out. It was indeed a shame that your airconditioning unit was not working satisfactuary on your 2nd day of your stay and also the problem with the shower drain. Unfortunately although we prapare all rooms very carefully these things do happen - and when/if it does my family and I are here to deal with it immediately - At least 1 family member is available every time of the day/night.

I must also kindly correct that the room type you had was a " Traditional Cypriot Garden Mezzanine Villa ". We also have hotel rooms and cottage type rooms. All our room types have recently been refursbished but this type has been referbished to reflect the Cypriot style and to suit The Almonds authentic concept and standards.

Every year we "choose to close" 1st of December - 1st of March in order to maintain and service our home without upseting our guests precious holidays.
I can honestly say that for my family & I "Tender Loving Care" towards our property, guests and staff is something we are very passionate about - we thank you once again for all your cooments which we will indeed take good notice of.

We hope to see you again in the near future.

Warmest Regards,

Gülten & Family

Spacious villas or a hotel room, a home from home.

We have just returned from another fantastic 2 weeks at this marvelous family run hotel. Once again we felt we were 'coming home' to our place in the sun; nothing is ever too much trouble for the family and their wonderful staff. Can't wait for next year!!

Room tip: The villas with mezzanine bedroom offer lovely views of the gardens and pool.
