What a great find!! We were on our way to Oludeniz and then…read moreDalyan, just to be close to our flight out of DALAMAN, and someone suggested this area. After a quick search online found this gem. The hotel is 20 minutes from the airport and 5 minutes drive to the beach, located in the town of Sarigerme. Beach is a short drive away. $5 fee gets you and your car into the beach area, and another $5 gets you couple of lounges and an umbrella. $50/day windsurfing nearby was a plus. There are showers and a small cafe serving very affordable beer and snacks. The hotel has really nice decorations, a nice private pool with lounges, nice soft music throughout. Simple and efficient rooms with A.C. Very nice owners trying to accommodate every little wish. Excellent breakfast included, including many types of cheeses, jams, breads and such. Dinner menu is great. Probably the best cheese plate I've had for $12. Clientele mixed; local families with kids to European couples. and best of all; Quiet.. Sarigerme, is a tiny town with few shopping and food options

We found and booked this hotel via booking.com, when we were already in Turkey and had decided to…read morego to Patara. We booked our five nights just two days in advance. Shortly after booking we I received an email from the hotel manager Mohammed, to tell me that he had put us in one of the slightly bigger rooms with a nice view. What a nice gesture. the room was indeed very spacious, including a terrace. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was also clean and the room service every two days did a great job. The interiors will need a make over in the near future, but for now are still fine. Extra towels for the pool or beach were provided as well. The breakfast was very good too. A variety of breads, jams, olives, cheeses, sausage, müsli, yoghurt, honey, fruits and eggs. One day they were out of boiled eggs when we arrived, so Mohammed the manager immediately offered us an omelet. I had cheese and onion omelet and it was the best I had during all our time in Turkey (his mom is in the kitchen). He was also very helpful when we needed information on what we could do in and around the area, besides going to Patara Beach. He told us about Kaputas beach, nearby sand dunes and a beach where we were the only ones around and many more. The hotel pool was very clean and equipped with boogie boards and children's swimming aids. The hotel also offered a BBQ every other night. We never made it or had eaten before, but we're having a drink there one night when they had the BBQ. They sent us some of the starters so we could try and they were delicious. The same can be said about the dinner we had one night at the hotel (köfte and shrimp casserole). We really enjoyed our stay at the Pataros hotel and the hospitality of the place was fantastic. We would definitely come back and can recommend the place.

The pool is cleaned every day. daily room cleaning. Always clean linen and towels. There is cable TV and foreign channels. The room has an electric kettle, a refrigerator, in general, everything you need. You can also have breakfast right at the hotel.

DO NOT STAY AT THIS HOTEL!!! This has been one of the…read moreworst hotel experiences of my life! I stayed for a bit and initially liked it, so I extended my stay. that was where I went horribly wrong. The hotel manager - i think his name is Yavus - booked me for the extension and was EXTREMELY rude. I really should have cursed him out and walked out then. A few days later, he insisted I change rooms immediately because my room needed to be painted. I was starving and on my way to lunch, but again, I said nothing. The toilet in the new room was disgusting. I asked that the staff clean the toilet. When I got back in, a few hours later, they hadn't cleaned the toilet, but had doused the entire bathroom with water - even the toilet seat. Again, the toilet was filthy. After that, my door refused to lock. Yavuz saw me having problems with the door. He concluded that it needed batteries and said he would take care of it later. I told him I wasn't comfortable leaving my things behind an unlocked door. He told me there were cameras in every hallway and that he would definitely take care of it. I show up to my room 7 hours later and the door is not yet fixed. I call down and explain this to them in what little Turkish I know. I tell them the "room won't close"...they say they will send someone up immediately. Half an hour later, I call back and explain to them that the problem is the door. They finally send someone up. I show the guy that the door opens without a keycard. He simply looks at me and says to use the deadbolt instead. I try to explain that as a paying customer and single woman, I need a locking door. Yavuz runs in with a screwdriver and starts taking the batteries out of the door lock. At that point, I just started cursing him out, but he didn't understand a word of it. He just smiled and nodded and tried to pretend that he came back "later" as he had promised. "Later" is not supposed to be 7 hours later. A day later, the upstairs toilet started leaking onto my toilet. I realized that if I called them, they would do nothing about it, so I told them I needed a new room. After a day, I was allowed to move back into my old room. It had just been painted and was covered in paint fumes - and I have asthma. I tried to explain this to the concierge but, once again, she looked at me like a deer in headlights . She was, however, absolutely insistent that the maid come clean the two specks of dirt on the balcony. DO NOT STAY HERE! JUST DON'T DO IT!

Beautiful pool and environment.  We stayed in the attic suite which has a hot tub for 2.  The room and bathroom was spacious. Our stay included free breakfast where we were able to order menemen and omelettes.  The breakfast was buffet style and include heaping amounts of veggies, fruit, and bread.  I loved the fresh tomatoes and cucumber.  The location of the hotel is perfect. We are walkable distance to the blue lagoon and many restaurants/bars.  We were able to drive to a variety of other locations such as saklikent gorge, tlos, fethiya, yaka park and gizlikent waterfall. The staff was absolutely wonderful and kind.  They were very friendly and made us feel like we were home. The only downfall was our internet was horrible in our room. They attempted to fix it by adding a router in our room but it wasnt the best. I think the internet throughout turkey just isnt good in general.  The parking is free at the hotel but the lot is small, requiring the office staff to keep our car keys to move cars to get other cars out.

The best boat trip by far. We did it last year and this year were not disappointed. As before,…read moreleave the harbour and up go the sails. Soft music, no loud 'booze parties', not crowded and great food and drink. The booze, as before, is the same price as any local bar. Forget the beach boats where it is difficult to get on when the sea is a little choppy. Plenty of time to swim or sunbathe. Thoroughly recommended.

Whereas they usually go out for the full day, they were going to the Blue Cave and Butterfly Valley from 2-5pm when I was there. Chill vibe and music and good COVID protocols.

The evening before, we met a couple in a restaurant who put us onto Captain Tommy and his boat Deniz Bey. We had noticed that all the boats were crowded and were looking for a smaller craft with fewer people. The next day we walked down the beach to the boat to see if we could book directly. No problem, the guy we spoke to was very helpful and we booked for the next day. As requested we were there at 10 am. A few years back the same thing happened when booking another boat and we didn't leave until 11.30. Captain Tommy is different. At 10.10 a big guy, in whites, came strolling down the beach in a very theatrical manner. Boarded his boat and at 10.20 we were off. The fun started from there. A very professional, but friendly, crew. 20 passengers, therefore plenty of room on board. Loads of stops on the way for swimming with no rush. Great BBQ food with a choice of trout or chicken and loads of various salads. Drinks were available, at reasonable prices. Snorkels, masks, swimming rings etc all available at NO extra charge. A little more expensive than the other guys but worth every lira. I would advise anyone to check Captain Tommy out when visiting Olu Deniz. Thanks to him and his great crew for a really great day out. Be seeing you again on our next visit.
