Stayed at the Altinkaya in the Summer 2007, beware of the family they tried to flog us a house, made our holiday a nightmare, we already bought and all they were interested was to sell houses, kept away from Bar very Expensive, they charged us £ 4 for a small glass of Whisky and £ 20 for a Fish Meze.

I suppose we are talking about the hotel just below Belepais here and not some other premises that's been given the same name are we?
If its the former then we've stayed at the Altinkaya a number of times in the past whist waiting for our house to be built. Always thought the bar was part of the hotel and not a separate entity. Agree with LaptaDave with regard to the bar prices but then it is a hotel.

Must respond in defence of Karen and Wayne,
the Residence bar is actually separate from the hotel and is directly across the road, the prices are no more expensive than your average prices.
It is, as described by Karen a really good venue give it a try, any new business deserves the chance.
Went to the opening a few months ago and had a great time.
They do not know me and I have no financial interests in the establishment.

We have also spent some very enjoyable times at the Altinkaya Bar where Karen and Wayne recently took over, the food is also to be recommended, especially Sunday roast, have always received a warm welcome. Friends have also stayed at the Hotel on the opposite side of the road and were more than happy. Good luck to Karen and Wayne.

Good Luck to guys and I do agree with some of th other comments about the original owners who run the bungalows. They are very money orientated and have sold a house to my cousin. overcharged him on the cost and did not produce a good quality house as promised. And all the extras for the house cost an arm and a leg. But I am sure you have nothing to do with them and trying to run an honest business. I will be over end of February an will try to visit you.

To the Altinkaya Residence.
We visted the Altinkaya, We did not find your prices Competive. We were charged 40 ytl for 4 Local Drinks. After complaining to you, u said, Entertainment is not for free and do you now how much Rent i am paying on this establishment. With a business mind like that the Altinkaya will not go far.

julie -------- there will always be people who like one thing or another, thats why we have choices , there are establishments who charge more than others , it might be because of more salubrious surrounding and in a round about way the customer pays for this , so unless you are happy to pay for this you dont go back there ! karen and wayne introduced themselves to this forum as the new owners promoting their new business [ their livelihood ]. so to comment about the prices you paid or indeed did not pay , is not relevent and should not be compared to previous owners .these people are trying to make a living like all hardworking people and providing a service to people like us , who would moan if there was'nt. karen & wayne mine's a g & t we are in famagusta but will come to your bar in support . we are there in april . so if there is anybody belonging to this forum there at the same time lets meet up in karen & waynes . What do you think ????????
have a great day all simbas

Dont let people like Julie Smith get you down and dont even give them the courtesy of a reply, if their allegations are true it is possible it happened before you took over, I notice they joined on the 11th of Jan, could it possibly be a competitor or someone with a grudge, it smells like one that was exposed on this board before, and if it is, we dont need these liars and mud slingers here,

Just returned back from the TRNC, we stayed at our apartment at TBV. On our 1st Sunday over there, we had a Sunday lunch at the Altinkaya. The 3 courses were excellent, and good value for money at 18YTL. A pint of Efes is 3 YTL.
They had a live Premier game on at night. All in all, a great restaurant/bar. Wayne makes you feel welcome, and is a good crack.
On our 2nd Sunday there, we could not get a Sunday lunch there because we did not pre-book. This is a testament to how good the meal is, when it is full.
Keep up the good work Karen & Wayne.
Cheers
Bob & Anne.

hi
you said that you have no connection with the altinkaya hotel but i know Fahri & his family do 100% still own Altinkaya Residence so i am very confused
try this site- http://www.altinkaya-cyprus.com
all is not what it seems
i know Fahri spent a lot of money doing up the rooms at altinkaya residence & very nice they are to but not so much on the bar or the indoor swimming pool which is now a store room is he going to do that up & open it again then for summer.
i was told today that he was going to hand over the running of it to his cousin very soon i will have to ask but that will have to wait until in the week when he gets to the uk when i hope to catch up with him for lunch if not it will have to wait until i get to cyprus in may.
I have stayed at the hotel many years ago before i got to know Fahri & always found him to be a fair man & yes he does build houses but i must say very good quality ones I know many people who are more than happy with them.
NO I DO NOT WORK FOR HIM LIKE THOSE IN ALTINKAYA RESIDENCE & could not give two hoots who anyone buys a house from its up to them not me, there are hundreds of people who have very different opinions of builders good & bad & no i do not get commission in anyway shape or form from anyone in cyprus i just think people should be honest it would make life very easy & we would all know where we stand in life.
Anyway whats so wrong with Fahri still owning the Altinkaya Residence & why say it has no connection with the hotel when it does.
Anyway friends went in a few weeks ago & entertainment was cancelled at the last minute messed the night up before it started tried again the following week or week after that & the same thing about the 3rd or 4th time its happend not enough people so yet again they had been disapointed
Hear that the guy that done the entertainment was none to pleased as he was not told until he got there.
hear the new year dinner was 100ytl per person with drinks will you be doing one next new year?
Do any of you people who have done a reply live or rent on the same complex as kaz13 maybe you can rent us some cheap places for the summer.

lindy , i think you will find the hotel and the bar across the road are two different concerns.

Simbas,
we were there in November and April last year. The bar across the road opened during our stay in November. The waiters that we had got to know from our April stay in the hotel (really nice lads) were on a rota for spending time at both venues. Residents could also stay and use the facilities of both venues. I was impressed by the high standard and friendliness of the staff in the Altinkya and would not hesitate to recommend. However Lindsey is correct they are one concern. Perhaps Kaz and hubby simply run/lease the bar rather than have ownership? It really does not matter its a nice place regardless.

I would just like to clear this up once and for all, for anyone who has missunderstood(lyndy)! not that i should need to!!!
Although the altinkya hotel and the residence lounge opposite are both owned by fahri,they are run as two seperate concerns, with myself and my husband running the residence lounge.having said this,this sort of business should not be dicussed on public forums! and should be kept between myself ,my husband and fahri.In future if you have anything to discuss regarding the business i would appriciate you dealing with it privately and professionally with myself,as would fahri. it appears you think you know alot about my personel business , so you ought to know if there are places to rent on my complex, there for you should talk to me personally and not through the computer !!!! regards kaz 0533 837 4369

i know kaz ,but dont upset yourself its just not worth it , some people just like to be a little officious , , they obviously dont know everything or they would have known that your bar was a separate concern it was unfortunate that they felt they had to go that far as to contact someone ,all a bit petty and uncalled for i thought , but that is human nature is'nt it . sometimes not attractive

Kaz
That is exactly the mistake you made - trying to promote yourself through forums - you leave yourself open to all sorts of snipers and give them ammunition when there are some untruths (or vague inuendo) told.
Get on with running the business you are renting from Fahri and dont let the knockers get you down.
The North Cyprus knockers tore my friend apart on this forum, with lies and jealous inuendo, which were soon shown for what they were, but there are a lot more nice and genuine people on here than the few bad eggs, and on other forums, once again good luck and I will be back in to see you soon

Hi Karen,
Some folks believe they know it all and that to know Fahri they think they have an insight into his and your business,but as always lack of actual knowlegde leads some peolple to assume wrongly.Don't be put off by comments that have very little basis in reality ,When one is in business one will always get the snipes it is in the nature of some people to attempt to put down those who are trying to be successful, it is an attempt to cover up their own inadequacies.
See you and Wayne tonight.
Terry.

Oh dear Oh dear Oh dear,
it's happening all over again, who gives a twiddle de dee who actually OWNS what
Kaz - as marik, simbas and most of the others say its up to you to make your business work and posting it on the forum and getting over 60 replies, good or bad has raised your profile significantly, good for you - I for one will be popping in for a drink shortly, dont let the pompous asses get you down and good luck.

so what is the point of having a forum & freedom of speech if we are not allowed to comment on what we want to without being restricted or being slated just because we agree with other people who have not always got good things to say about a subject is this not how we all learn & gain information as well as knowledge about life in cyprus which helps us to CHOOSE FREELY or are we not allowed to do that just because the truth is not always what people want to hear
Dont use a forum as a free advert & then winge just because not all comments are positive why not use those comments to help improve things or see what you can do to attract more customers.
As for discussing things in private you can not have things all your own way dont put free adds on a forum & open yourself to the public if you are not prepared to hear what everyone has to say in public.

Hi all,
With all this publicity about this establishment, we thought we would give it a try, here is our unbiased report of what happened last evening when we popped in for a drink at 5.45pm, the person behind the bar will probably remember us as there were only 8 people in the place, 2 playing pool - 2 watching tv 4 adults and 1 kiddie at the bar, sorry thats 8 and 1/2 the barmaid (eastern european i think ) was behind the bar and engaged in conversation with the group at the bar and enjoying a smoke (i dont like that - personal thing)
We asked for our drinks and were served, prices were average, no problem, the menu boards were advertising a St valentines evening, the little girl was a bit noisy and rowdy, but kids will be kids,
I finished my drink and waited for my wife to finish hers, we were not asked if we would like another drink, so we prepared to leave, as we were about to get up from our stools at the bar a gent appeared and went behind the bar, without acknowledging anybody, he spoke to the barmaid, we got up from our stools and left, there was no acknowledgement from behind the bar, that is our honest report as it happened.
it is a place that I personally ------------------------------------------ you guess !!

Quite a clever way to slag an establisment!!
firstly 5.45pm is a time when most bars and staff will not be at their best, I might also add it is an unusual time for most people to pop in for a drink!! I suppose though that depends on your drinking habits.
The barmaid " Eastern European " what has that got to do with your point ?, hints of racism!!.
I am an non smoker but until such times that a law has passed banning staff smoking then what has that got to do with your point ?.
A child making noise what is new or worth reporting about that ?.
Your so called UNBIASED REPORT, I don't think so, just a simple opinion
would suffice.
Wayne n Karen
Thank you once again for a great night , free buffet (again), good ale good prices, friendly staff super company, great entertainment, some people want BLOOD, do not give them it!
Keep doing what your doing ignore the minority they are truly insignificant.

I really think that this thread should end now! Some people will like the bar, some won't. That's life. What more needs to be said? Is it me or is this thread becoming tedious, defensive and somewhat confrontational?

Just to add my t'pennyworth. I thought smoking was already banned in bars in TRNC, not that anyone takes any notice of the rule.

Hi Derek,
touch a nerve did I ??? my my
When EXACTLY are bar staff at their best,
and I dont know what your gripe is with people popping in for a drink at 5.45 on a Friday night, did you never do it or are you too sanctimonious to admit having a libation on an evening on the way home - grow up
I spoke exactly as I found things and made the point about the people to quite simply prove that we were there when we said we were, nothing more nothing less what we saw was what we saw - and I bet Kaz is loving this it keeps her place right up there on the board
'good on her'
LOL

glencoe,
what does touch a nerve is some nobody telling me to grow up, I'll leave that at that!!.
Your reference to "Kaz" would indicate you know her, quite obviously not a friend.

ok enough is enough. This is now turning into a slanging match and is very similar to the Esentepe Villa Hotel thread a couple of months ago which turned nasty.
I think its time to put this one to bed.
