Just returned from one of the best holiday locations in Northern Cyprus, High Life Hotel. A courteous and friendly family fun small hotel set in a peaceful setting, with just 20 apartments. The level of comfort was exceptional. Set on a sea front peaceful location with first class service from, Beha the owner, and his staff. The gardens were equally neat and very tidy, a delight to stroll early in the morning. Rooms of a high standard with, air conditioning, mini bar, large fridge, Tea making facilities.and hair dryer.

The swimming Pool was cleaned every morning.even after Beha had an unexpected swim after he seemed to fall in after having his picture taken.

He will attend to all your requirements including booking you a Taxi to renting you a car, or changing your money so you can relax and enjoy your stay in this beautiful Hotel. where your every need is catered for.

Thank you to Beha and all your staff for making this a truly memorable holiday. we will certainly be back next year.

Just a quick note to say we arrived home safely and to thank you for our holiday. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It was good to meet you and to renew our friendship with your father, mother and sisters. It was good to see Alpie and Millie again and meet Miriam.

We wish you all well, a prosperous season and hope to see you in the not so distant future.

Kindest regards.

  Barbara and Peter Lennard
'Merhaba' to al at the High Life who together gave us such a wonderful holiday (22nd May to 5th June Room 41) It was a holiday we will never forget and one which we hope we shall be able to have again in the future. So many things contributed, the chef's wonderful cooking, the care and attention of the staff, Alpay (who mixes a mean cocktail) and Milly, always smiling, the evenings on the terrace, the cats, and, above all the peace and tranquility of the gardens and pool settings.
So, tesekkur ederim, to Beha, Sohret and all the family, Alpay, Milly, Tanny(?) who cleaned our room, she was so lovely and worked so hard., and to the excellent chef, we hope we will see you all again.
Our best wishes Barbara and Peter Lennard.

To you, your family and staff our grateful thanks for a SUPERB holiday which really could not have been bettered. We will pass on word of the excellence of "High Life" to any who are thinking of such a holiday, and I have already told our travel agent so they can recommend it to other clients.
   
  The Carrolls
This is certainly one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. the rooms are extremely spacious comfortable and very well equipped. The staff is most helpful and friendly in every way. The whole atmosphere is one of piece and calm in a beautiful setting hence the cats and kittens choosing to stay here!...
   
  Jennifer and Richard Austin, Lisa James and George Austin
We could never find the right words to sum up our stay at High Life. Here are a few:
Very friendly staff, you should be proud of them all. Excellent yummy food, clean, very comfortable rooms, great pool. Brilliant room service for George. Love the cocktails in the evening. Joseph’s smiling face at breakfast. Very late night swim in the pool – but we were very quiet. Cleaners who made our rooms look and smell nice everyday. Jasmine bushes that smell delicious in the evening. We could go on forever but we really mean “Thank You”.

  Heather and Michael Hall - Summer 2003
Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality during our two weeks stay at High Life Hotel. We honestly believe this has been one of the best - if not the best holiday we have had. We have been so impressed with the friendliness and helpfullness of all the staff without exception. Although we have stayed here on a bed and breakfast basis, we had an evening meal on a number of occasions and thoroughly enjoyed the food that we had chosen from a very varied menu.
We have no hesitation in recommending High Life to family and friends. Best wishes.
   
  Guest - Summer 2003
We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay here - everyone at the hotel seems to have gone out of their way to be pleasant and to try and make our holiday perfect from early in the morning to late at night.
Beautiful rooms, beautiful gardens, good food and new friends looking after you - what more could we ask for? We were greeted well "Welcome home" and thant's just how we feel - 2 weeks at a very kind and generous uncle's home.
The travel agency brochure doesn't do this wonderful place justice.
   
  Lynda and Chris Marriott - Summer 2003
What a fantastic place! Everyone is so friendly, everywhere so clean. A credit to the owners and the staff. If the beach area was developed, it would be even better. Thanks for a super holiday. (Note from High Life: Development of the beach are in front of High Life is a project in plan.)
   
  Aprille and Richard Townsend - September 2003
We have just returned from our holiday at High Life and want to thank you for dealing with all our arrangements. The flight was 2 hours late arriving but the taxi driver was waiting for us. My husband was hoping to meet you to thank you personally but your Mother said you had just returned to America.

We had a really enjoyable holiday but a week is too short. All the staff and your family were really friendly and helpful to everyone and the weather was beautiful. We shall certainly return next Sept/Oct for a longer stay and will let you know as soon as possible when we have discussed dates with our friends next weekend. I will e-mail you again next week.
Best Wishes

   
  Peter Smith - September 2003
Hello Huseyin, Emma & family. Just a line to say that we really enjoyed our holiday at High Life, both the rooms and Hotel were excellent. We enjoyed the character and charm of Kyrenia, and found the people very hospitable and friendly. Alpay and the rest of the staff looked after us great. This is our first day back at work and I think it is going to seem very long. We will no doubt be returning sometime in the future.
   
  The Crompton and Norris party - August 2003
Just wanted to say thank you for a wonderful two weeks stay (August 18th-30th. I think where you have the monopoly on other hotels is your wonderful staff. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they catered for our every need. We send our thanks to you all for a wonderful holiday and hello to Joseph, Milly, Fee and Alpi.
   
  Lorraine and David - August 2003
We enjoyed your hospitality and such a wonderful relaxing holiday in August 2003 that we have booked to come back and see you again next year at the same time, we both said that it is the best holiday we have ever had even though we did not do anything for two weeks apart from relaxing round the pool and the beach every day and ofcourse enjoy your plentiful plates of lunch and the odd glass of EFES, we can't wait for the summer to arrive so we can get back there, see you soon.

Hope V, Milly and Alpay will be there when we go back.

I enjoyed the stay at your hotel and the breakfast was excellent, especially after an early morning swim in your pool!

I hope you like the photos I've enclosed and I will tell my colleagues at work how much I enjoyed the stay in High-Life so you might get a few more enquiries from Preston in the near future. All the best.

To All The Staff at High Life.
It is nearly three weeks since we joined you for your Wednesday night Kleftico dinner. We are now back in chilly UK where we have just had storm force winds and frosty nights - oh to be back in Northern Cyprus. Our winter has certainly arrived!!

We would like to thank you for your hospitality and friendliness toward the four of us, (refugees from the other noisy hotel) and for the excellent meals we enjoyed with you.

.... we enjoyed your part of the world and would very much like to come back again and stay at the High Life. When we do decide we will get in touch direct and make the reservation for flight and accommodation.

Have a great end of season and Happy Christmas.
Best wishes

 
  Linda and Gary - September 2002
Thank you for a most relaxing holiday. We could not have wished for a nicer atmosphere. All helped along with Beha and Sohret, letting us help ourselves to fresh figs everyday and of course the pomegranates.
Also, please pass on our thanks to Michaela and Viorel not forgetting Alpi and Miriam. Thank you once again and hope to see you all very soon.
   
  Eric & Joyce Millward - September 2002
We are seriously thinking of returning in March 2003...
   
  Guest - July 2002
Hello again, Beryl & myself came to stay with you on holiday for 10 days last July. We thoroughly enjoyed High Life and have recommended you to several people. Thanks for your hospitality and friendship.
   
 

Linda, Tony, Jean & Alf - July 2002
We have very recently returned from a Holiday in TRNC. We stayed in a villa in Bellapais which was idyllic but did not access to a swimming pool etc. We were fortunate to discover High Life half way through our stay and are so pleased that we did.

I cannot recommend this Holiday Village strongly enough. We were made to feel VERY welcome as visitors. We were free to use the facilities of the pool etc. and in return were able to enjoy lunch time meals/snacks and the lovely pool drink & snack service. The staff and management were courteous, polite and very friendly. We have viewed the room facilities which looked excellent and hope that we can arrange a stay next year. Thank you for making us all feel so welcome, we miss you all already including the kittens.

Sue Topham & Alan Stephens - May 2002
We have just come back from our 3 week holiday at Highlife and just wanted to let you know we had a fabulous time - everything worked well.

Highlife is a very nice holiday village and whilst we were there, not only have we re-booked for next year, but several other couples are planning to do the same or have already booked! So, I think the reputation will spread.

Beha and Sohret are superb hosts and looked after us really well. We had a lovely fish meze with them on our last day before going to the airport and we would be grateful if you would thank them again from us personally for their hospitality. Michaela and Viorel are also superb as is the cleaner whose name I cannot spell and of course Hursit the chef is a lovely man. The team work really well together

We have already slotted in 4 weeks next year into your parents diary ...
Please do pass on our comments to your parents and wish them well for the rest of the season. We have invited them to make contact with us in England when and if they come this December as we would love to have them stay with us even for a short time.

Kind regards.

 
  Guest - May 2002
Hope to visit before too long. Looked at your facilities in Nov. 2001, very impressed.

Andrzej and Marie, September 2001
.....We recall our wonderful holiday in North Cyprus often, and I hope that Mr. Beha and his family may remember us from the pictures we are sending ( picture1 picture2 picture 3 picture 4 picture 5 ). I hope also that they had lots of guests over the summer. Marie and I are going to try and come over to North Cyprus next year (possibly October/November), as the last time we were there we had a very good rest and really enjoyed talking to Mr. Beha and his family. They are all lovely people and we look forward to their hospitality at some stage in the future. We hope also that we could have Room 27 (the one we stayed in last time)....
..... Still, I hope that the weather is still nice over there, and please say a big hello to Beha, Sohret, Esen, Emel and, of course, little Alp, and please tell them that we haven't forgotten them - All the very best.
 
  Martin and Mavis Alexander, September 2001
Hoping you are all well and that business is good. Please send our best wishes to Emel, Esen, Gokalp and Alp - looking forward to seeing you all again in December. Kindest regards

Thank you for a fantastic two weeks holiday at your hotel. It's the best one we have ever stayed in and everyone was so friendly and kind. We have told all our relatives and friends and hopefully you will get some bookings soon. Hope the kittens are doing well and enjoying the sunshine - something we miss now that we're returned to the cloudy UK.

Cyprus is a land every young person dreams of and it was great for me to be there.
   
 

Raymond May, June 2001
Hello to you all at the High Life hotel, this is from Mr. Raymond & Tracey May, Mr. Larry & Del Davis, rooms 28 & 29. We would like to thank you all for the last 2 weeks, we enjoyed ourselves very much & your hospitality was much appreciated.

The hotel was perfect and placed very nicely by the sea, we have a lovely tan, but I don't think it will last too long, as the weather is cold here, 15 degrees. The food was very good at your hotel and also at the restaurants we went to.

There is a big possibility that we will come again next year, and we will stay with you if possible, and will contact you as soon as we have made a decision. Thank you again, we wish you all the best, Ray & Tracey,Larry & Del.
Thank you to Esen and Alp for the note left on our door.

   
  David and Stanya Frearson - June 2001
Thank you for a lovely holiday. We will be coming back, as soon as we can find the time, later this year. Love to all your family.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the High Life in May. We will highly recommend you to our friends. The waiters and barstaff couldn't be more helpful and pleasant. Nothing was to much trouble. The quality of the rooms was excellent. We are looking forward to returning again. Very soon. May be a smaller crowd!!
