North Cyprus. Where to go? Any suggestions for nice hotel?

Hello. My in laws live in Southern Cyprus and we're going to visit later this month. They've offered to have the DCs (aged 14 months) for a couple of nights so we can have our first 'proper' holiday since they were born. We thought we might go to Northern Cyprus as have never been and have heard it's beautiful. Has anyone got any suggestions of where in the North is nice to visit and/ or a lovely hotel? We quite fancy something small and boutique-ish. We want this to be really special as it's our first time away from the DCs and we really need a break and a bit of time together. To be honest lie-ins and lazing around will be blissful anyway but a bit of luxury would be pretty nice too!

Will your IL's be happy with you going to North Cyprus? - there is still some dispute and bad feeling between the two... We have friends that live in southern Cyprus and I know they wouldn't be too impressed if we chose to holiday in the northern half because its not supportive of those in the south. What does your DH think?

Oh no worries there - in fact they holidayed there last year. Think it depends who you speak to in terms of ill feeling. They're just happy to get the girls to themselves for a few days and we're happy to get away on our own so it's a win-win situation!

ive been to north cyprus, my friend is cypriot turkish, unfortunately we stayed at her flat, so im unsure about recommendations for hotels. Her flat is in kyrenia (sp) great place, lovely small beaches, great harbour, also its not plagued by loads of tourists.

Thanks Cascade - we've been looking at a hotel in Kyrenia so good to know it's worth a visit

don't know if its too late, but friends have stayed at the Malpas..golf and spas etc. We went to the ship as a family and its basic but ok. Other friends have stayed at the retreat (they don't have children!) for xmas and had a great time
I love northern cyprus, so beautiful and great people. I am sure that you will have a good time
