Where the hotel is
Manolya Resort Hotel is a resort hotel in Lapta (Lapithos), on the north coast of Northern Cyprus west of Girne (Kyrenia). The area runs from the foothills of the Beşparmak (Kyrenia) Mountains down to the sea and offers a quieter base than the town itself. La Hotel & Resort and Le Chateau Lambousa Hotel are both a short walk away, and Babil Bahçeleri is a short drive.
Resort properties can have more than one building and entrance, so your driver drops you at the main entrance in front of reception, saving you a search for the right door with your luggage. For the return trip, simply name the Manolya Resort Hotel reception as your meeting point and the driver will wait for you there.
