Another visit to the Ship Hotel during May
Lovely weather, and grounds looking stunning and well kept.
Stayed in new apartments which are a short stroll from main building.
Very good breakfast and evening meal, available with less choice but better food 
( our opinion)
Transfers, car hire, all arranged by the Ship you just relax.
Traffic gets worse going to town so take a bus or taxi.
Bus stops outside of hotel.
Got a hire car head west lots of beaches and places to visit and eat.
Local meals all good and special mention to the quality of the food in the Donut Box.
Pool bar at hotel 1st class albeit beer expensive but then you get the pool and the service thrown in.
Poor old Turkish Ltr AT 42 to £ good for us tourists but not the locals.
All in all top value for money, and in that respect the Ship beats them all
Any complaints all dealt with on site by superb management
Hopefully be over again
Thank you

The lovely Ship Hotel

Love! Love! Love …. The Ship Inn!  This is a special place! Nilay & her crew always go above & beyond.  The Ship Inn is super chilled & laid back. friendliness is above & beyond. The pool side villas are lovely! The food is delicious & the service is first class. We adore this place. It’s well managed and perfectly maintained. hope to be back very soon.Thank you Nilay & your super team xx. (Location is also fabulous!)

The best crew at The Ship Inn ❤️

Stayed on a group tour.
Location is around 40mins walk from centre of Kyrenia, although close to bus stops. Around 10mins walk to supermarket and a few further restaurants. Rooms set back from main road so don't get lots of traffic noise.
Room was a reasonable size for one but would have felt tight for 2. Very limited shelf space and very few places to hang things except in wardrobe. Got very wet on first day but heater didn't seem to work properly to get things dry. Windows and door to balcony were not thick or well fitting enough- heard lots of external noise from wind/rain & others were disturbed by calls at mosque. No lift available to our rooms. Bathroom would have fit a bathtub but had a large walk in shower instead. Pressure and temperature in my shower would change even when I hadn't moved the control, which was irritating. Took a while for hot water to start flowing. Provided shower gel was nice, didn't try the shampoo. 
At first glance room looked nice but actually became clear needs a refresh- e.g bathroom shelf was cracked. Bedside table was a long stretch to reach from the bed.
Breakfast was fine for me- some hot options, breads, bran flakes or cornflakes, fruit salad, some cheeses & cakes etc but not labelled very well so would be difficult if you had allergies.
Reception staff seemed to do the minimum- no information was given on check in about pool facilities or evening meals. Asked about currency exchange and was told their rate was not good but not advised where was nearest alternative. No maps provided for anyone walking to Kyrenia- would have expected this to be common request they could anticipate.
Bar prices for drinks seemed high compared to other places we ate. 
Do not expect to return to North Cyprus imminently but if I did I would stay nearer to the main centre.


Ok, could be greatly improved with a few tweaks

Again, like many others, we heard great things about this place and booked a 4-night HALF BOARD break, for two middle-aged couples as a result. 

Taking each aspect in turn:

Accommodation - One room in an outer block was on the first floor, a reasonable size, well-appointed and clean, but the drains were very smelly in the WC, and we needed to spray fragrance regularly to mask the smell. The other, a ground floor apartment near the pool area, was tiny. The aircon was faulty on arrival, a hot sticky day. They did get around to fixing that after about six hours of pestering.

FACILITIES - Simplistic - Average for a 3-star hotel, nothing flashy.

FOOD- THIS IS WHERE IT ALL TURNED SOUR!!!  The bar snacks, available TO PURCHASE, until 5pm, were good quality. The 'TO PAY FOR' Evening A LA CARTE menu was extensive and looked reasonably good.  HOWEVER, HALF BOARD customers were given a cloth-eared single sheet menu with 2 choices of starter, 3 choices of main and a dessert table. Little choice and HOBSON's CHOICE. Soup or AN other, FISH??, Chicken??? and PASTA???  If they wanted to eat from the A LA CARTE  an INSULTING 20% off WAS OFERED TO HB CUSTOMERS. As Jim Bowen would say, "HAVE A LOOK AT WHAT YOU COULD HAVE EATEN". After the first night's pig swill offerings, we ate out for the remainder, costing us an extra 200 euros between us.
Breakast was continental and adequate. No Bacon, snotty eggs but overall typical of a 3 star Meditteranean hotel 

This review would be 3-4 star rating but for the food. The staff were friendly and hard-working overall. Drinks prices at the bar were fair and a good choice.  Quit literally, the experience left a nasty taste in my mouth and for this reason, I WOULD NOT recommend visiting this hotel.

MAJOR LET DOWN, ESPECIALLY THE FOOD OFFERING.

Just back from 3 weeks at the Ship again
This year for a change we had one of the apartments over from the Ship but vey close to the Superb Donut Box
Car rental arranged by Haseeb faultless as usual
Ship always good as staff make the venue and the hotel and area always very clean
Have stayed in all areas of the Ship over the years and all good
Traffic to town gets worse so leave the car and jump on the bus which frequently stops outside the Ship.
Going west in car Lots to see and numerous eateries towards Lapta
Nice beaches in that area as well.
Took a break from Ercan this year and came via South on Jet 2
Once again all travel arrangements sorted via Nilay
Value for money oh yes and lovely staff to go with it
Thank you all at the Ship yet again
