Korineum Golf & Beach Resort

We arrived at the Hotel after 10pm when the main restaurant was closed but the staff were expecting and a food menu and drinks list were to offered to us, which after a fairly long journey was most acceptable. The staff could not have been more helpful, friendly professional throughout our stay. All rooms are situated in blocks apart form the main Hotel, we were in the furthest block approx 3/4 minute walk up an incline the last part to the Hotel quite steep. The staff used buggies to transport our luggage clubs etc The rooms were serviced daily with fresh bath and pool towels with additional deep cleaning under the present circumstances. Normally in a room there would be general information brochure with reception number, meal times, taxi, emergency number, minibus to beach info etc but this was missing again due to need for extra cleaning ,but a sheet of paper issued to guest for their stay would have saved a number of visits to reception to ask questions. The normal buffet evening meal was restricted, understandably so as there were very few staying guests in the Hotel. On three evenings there were outdoor evening weddings, in this most idealistic setting of the Hotel. The outdoor terrace where all meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner were taken in temperature of 31 degrees, over looked the golf course and Mediterranian. A car or taxi is needed to visit any other village or town and Kyrenia the main town is a 25 minute taxi ride away. The beach club is just over a mile away but to walk there is a need to walk some distance along a very busy main road with no pavements only scrub land but a mini bus does transport guests three times a day. There is a pool with a bar. Some of the facilites eg a second restaurant/bar was not open. This Hotel is normally full from September onwards but covid restrictions have stopped many people travelling. With the necessary documents that we needed to provide in September, to travel to this resort we can understand why.

We simply adored the mountain views and tranquil ambiance which made for a most relaxing stay. I would particularly recommend a first floor room with mountain view as wake up to sunshine & lovely views. Great swimming pool, sea at their beach crystal clear, friendly & helpful staff and good mix of age and nationalities of guests. Hiring a car is cheap and invaluable ( can be arranged through hotel). A special shout out for omelette man who also produces brilliant crepes. Hope to be back!

The resort facilities were excellent and the quality of service from the time of check in to departure was exceptional... The golf course was also in pristine condition and very well designed... I would definitely visit again.

everyone there couldn't have been more helpful, rooms great, weather brilliant, overall good holiday

A delightful hotel with accommodation in well kept blocks 2 minutes stroll away from the main building. All the staff were friendly and helpful, and always smiling! The drinks - whether coffees, beers or wine were reasonably priced (the drinkable turkish wines were approx £12 / bottle in the restaurant). The outside balconies had great views over the 9th & 18th holes and distant views to Kyrenia. Apart from the hotel complex, it's a 30 minute ride into Kyrenia, the nearest large town. The hotel runs minibuses there several times a day. A few hours is enough to take in the key sites of Kyrenia, so a long lunch around the old harbour is a good way to wait until the bus ride back.

All the staff were unfailingly helpful and friendly. They made it a pleasure to stay at this hotel. All were very eager to ensure that guests were welcome and felt wanted. Excellent food throughout (not haute cuisine of course....it is a buffet!) but always varied and good quality. Spacious comfortable rooms. Sea views are on the 'shadier' side of the hotel. Inland views get more sun. All good.

Hotel is very well appointed nice decor and ambience.staff very friendly and helpful,although buffet style the choice and quality of food was good. Location is a bit remote and although there is a hotel bus that goes to Kyrenia a car is essential if you don’t want to be confined to hotel. WiFi is free but extremely slow.

Rather isolated location. Hotel was quite good but the apartment blocks gave a very austere appearance on first arrival. Exceptional staff

Accommodation staff and facilities were excellent. Bars and food were good but buffet dinner every night was limiting. A better al a carte offer would be useful

Korineum is a wonderful place to enjoy a week of golf in beautiful surroundings and fantastic scenery. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. The food could probably be improved and some more local dishes would have been great. Overall though, a great experience. Would go back again and again ... !

The golf pro shop staff were very helpful and efficient, we had to change one day to another and this was no problem. The caddie master and buggy team were great, loaded our clubs and looked after them until our next round. The course was very challenging in places, narrow in places with dense scrub land bordering the fairway steep slopes to play up and down and ravines to cross on a par 3! The greens were very slow compared to those at home, but well cared for with plenty of olive trees to play through and round. The views from the course, when you were not looking for balls, were fantastic. The pace of play most of time was good if you were adhering to the request of using the buggy paths and using buggy at 90 degrees rather than travel up the fairway. When this rule was ignored then some congestion occurred. Although the playing time allowed is 4 hours 45 minutes all four of our rounds were completed in under 4 hours. On some holes there is some distance especially up hill between green and next tee. As a holiday golf course with lots of footfall it was most enjoyable, the weather and the views enhancing the experience. There is an exceptionally good golf Academy with lots of bays, putting and chipping areas.

Breathtaking views, challenging course but great fun.

Great golf course... Very well designed and in impeccable condition.

The sort of course you have to keep straight, if you stray off the shots add up, but you want to play again to master it

This is a scenic and dramatic golf course! I'm amazed at the brave souls who used push-trolleys rather than the 2-man buggies (Euro 28 per round) - around 6 of the holes are up / down a mountainside. What foxed us most was the lush grass around the greens - there's no gentle running the ball up to the green with a 7-iron here... it stops very very quickly. The greens were like lightening when putting sea-ward, yet slowish when putting land-wards - not obvious by just looking at the slope of the greens. Whilst we both struggled to get anywhere near our handicaps, we both thoroughly enjoyed playing the course 4 times in our week's stay. Make sure you have plenty of balls in your bag, especially for holes 3, 4 and 5!

An excellent golf experience. Fairly hilly course with plenty of challenge and interest. Stunning views of the coast too. That said, this isn't an 'unplayable' or 'tricked up' course. Simply a very good, enjoyable course in excellent condition.

Reasonable “holiday” course kept in good condition with spectacular views of surrounding countryside, not much variation in the majority of holes, biggest downside was the slow pace of play — it seemed that provided you paid the green fee you were welcomed on the course irrespective if you had a handicap or not.

Lovely course with beautiful views and very helpful staff

A wonderful but challenging experience and will repeat it in the near future

A really varied and interesting course, with some tricky hazards. Beautiful views and well maintained.
