Merit Royal Premium Hotel Casino & Spa is a large complex combining hotel, casino and spa in Alsancak, on the north coast of Northern Cyprus west of Girne (Kyrenia). This quiet stretch between the sea and the Kyrenia Mountains is a short drive from Girne's town centre and harbour. Merit Royal Diamond Hotel & Spa stands right next door, Palmonte Suites Hotel is a few minutes' walk away, and Riverside Garden Resort is a short drive within the same area.
Because the complex is large, your driver takes you straight to the main entrance and drops you at reception rather than somewhere else on the grounds, so there is no long walk with luggage. After meeting you at Ercan Airport with a name sign, the driver brings you door to door at a fixed price, which you can pay in the vehicle.
Straight-line distances; walking times are approximate.

| St Hilarion Castle | 8.1 km | by car |
| Kyrenia Harbour | 10.3 km | by car |
| Kyrenia Castle | 10.4 km | by car |
The drive from the hotel to the airport takes about 45 min. We recommend leaving the hotel at least 2 h 45 min before a domestic departure and 3 h 45 min before an international one; allow a little extra at peak times.
