What can I possibly add to Allan’s excellent review, and indeed a perfect description of all that Patara has to offer?? Not much as he has said it all, but I can endorse what he has said 100%. We have also been coming to Patara for many years, and have stayed at a number of the village hotels and checked... more

We have being going to Patara for 15 years now and it seems to get better every year. The village and beach facilities have been improved by the constant hard work of the villagers and cooperative under the guidance of the Mayor. Since the large tour companies left the Patara some years ago, travellers have had to put together their... more

Your having the sort of holiday you... more

Staying here is a great experience with lots of nationalities and a superb location. You instantly relax. Nothing is too much trouble for... more

Having seen the positive reviews on tripadvisor, we were encouraged... more

My wife and I first stayed at the Delfin in 2007 after moving there from another hotel in Patara due to to poor service. Our experience in 2007 led us to make sure we booked in at the Delfin for our 16 day break this year (July/Aug 2009). If you want good sized, clean, air-conditioned and affordable rooms then the... more

The hotel is in an excellent location, with cool breezes, which in August, we welcomed. The owner, Mustapha and his attentive staff have it just right. We felt totally spoilt and totally chilled out by the side of the beautiful pool. The rooms are comfortable and nicely furnished. The other guests are from all corners of the world and everyone... more

we have been travelling many times in Turkey and I have to say that Delfin hotel in Patara is one of these not so well known place which deserved to be discovered. For those who want to step out of the main stream and spend a nice break out of the over populated crowd, it is the perfect spot. The... more
