Patara Prince Hotel & Resort - Special Category

There is a huge, green and tidy territory Magnificent sea view is almost from every room

Room is not equipped properly given its price. For example there is neither kettle nor iron in a room

The location and views are incredible. A great selection of private and secluded sun bed areas and access to the sea. This was once the jewel of Kalkan.

The hotel is extremely dated with an apparent lack of investment. Room air con, mini fridge didn’t really work, plug socket hanging out the wall. Breakfast was very limited, extremely basic, and very poor standard-although it is the best breakfast location. Staff seemed intense and a little unpleasant and barely any spoke English-which is unusual for an international tourist resort. 1 selection of juice, coffee was weak, milk was UHT. Fruit choice melon and melon. Hot buffet food=freezing chips, although you could ask for a bland fried egg or omelette. Bread was fresh, as was the salad. Lunch restaurant food was overpriced but decent standard with better staff.

Pool and location were excellent. Shower was a little small, but the cleanliness of the hotel was fantastic and the room was very spacious.

No WiFi in the rooms meaning data can be wasted. However, the site is large so it’s understandable they can’t source WiFi for rooms across the entire plot of land.

The location/view exceptional and communal spaces excellent - great access to pools and sea. We were a family of 6 with 4 older teens.

The service was mixed. Great at times or really lacking. Rooms especially the bathrooms were very dated. Showers /air con temperamental. Aside from first day no drinking water provided in rooms even though you can’t drink from tap, no room service and lots of steps to walk up in extreme heat. We were disappointed at the charges for the water taxi which we had assumed would be complimentary as many beach clubs are in kalkan. As we were a family of 6 with a charge per person it meant taxi by road was way cheaper. At breakfast the staff would not move or let us move a table across so that we could eat as a family together. Despite asking reception who said they would sort it out this never happened. So we were unable to eat together over the week despite there being plenty of room.
