Have just arrived back had the most amazing 16 days the apartment is absaoloutely cute and georgeous we loved everything about it . The facilities are amazing and very friendly staff . The owner was easy to contact and very quick to reply we will definitely book this again

We had a fabulous stay here.. 2 girls on a peaceful holiday. the villa looks exactly as described. Communication with Tricia was amazing, always helpful and couldn't do enough to ensure we had a great stay. This was my 2nd visit to Kalkan and we stayed at Palm 235 last time. Cactus was better this time especially as it's so close to the infinity pool and the entrance as well as the shuttle bus up and down the resort. Patara Prince as a resort is stunning, like Tuscany with the architecture. Beautiful views and the sea is stunning. Kalkan town centre with its cobbled streets and laid back no hassle attitude makes it warm and inviting. Browse in peace and take in the breathtaking views of the harbour. Patara Prince has 3 pools, infinity was our favourite as it's so quiet... the pool bar and restaurant is great for a snack. We tried the Agora Bar and Restaurant by the hotel one night. the food was very good, however the only downfall to Patara Prince Resort is the Customer Service at the restaurants and Bars. they barely speak English, which wasn't a problem as I speak turkish .. the service is not good at all. They are very slow and don't know the drinks! Took 30 mins to make 2 cocktails that were on their menus as no one knew how to make them... 5 staff later they made them however they did not taste good 😶 Don't let this put you off.. just be aware. Cactus 220 could have been improved by having an oven and BBQ. we chose self catering so we could chill on the terrace and eat dinner ourselves. The kitchen is fully equipped, no oven for a frozen pizza if we were tired and didn't want to go out for dinner. you can make pasta, eggs on the hob... not a lot more though. BBQ would have been ideal as we could buy meat from the butcher There is no WIFI at the apartment.. have to go down to the restaurant/hotel. other than that I would highly recommend staying here.

I would definitely recommend this apartment. On a great complex with lots of amenities and close to Kalkan town. You can catch a bus to Kas and Patara should you want a change of scenery and there are some great day boat trips from Kalkan harbour. Staff at the hotel complex are friendly and helpful.. You can get deliveries direct to the apartment from the local supermarkets and cabs back from Kalkan town centre are very reasonable. Some great restaurants in Kalkan, but would recommend booking in advance of your holiday if you have somewhere you specifically want to go to as some are booked out for months. Kalkan is hilly so bring some sensible shoes!

Well, what a fantastic time myself and my husband have had. We have just arrived back from Cactus 220 last Friday (19 September 2014) and feel sooo refreshed. Tricia has been brilliant and is really concerned in making sure everything is okay. We had initially booked a room at the hotel at Patara Prince but having read a number of reviews, which I would normally take with a pinch of salt, it concerned me to think that most reviews were saying the same thing, that the food was awful. I also read that the staff at PR were very rude - I have to say, we thought the staff were very friendly and helpful. However, the food reviews did put us off, especially given it was on a half board basis, which is when I checked out Tricias apartment in the resort of Patara Prince. The grounds and the views are absolutely stunning. Tricias apartment is gorgeously clean, bright and spacious. We met the tortoise and he was pretty speedy. We also received regular visits from the grey tabby cat. We ate out in Kalkan most nights so we are really pleased to not have been staying at the hotel on a HB basis as we would have missed out on eating in so many wonderful roof-top restaurants. We ate out at Aubergine, Sofra, La Terrazza, The Nar, The Olive Garden, Doy Doy and The Ivy and didnt have a bad meal - the roof-top restaurants were especially wonderful because of the amazing views over the gorgeous harbour. We also visited Kas which is another beautiful little harbour and where I ended up buying my Mulberry clutch bag at such a great price. We did two trips - one to the Saklikent Gorge which is absolutely amazing, which also included a trip to Tlos the Trout farm for lunch and Patara beach. We also took a boat trip to Kekova, the sunken city. This included various stops for swimming and a visit to a cave (a very brief peak inside) followed by a bbq lunch on the boat and then onto a village called Simena which was so old and beautiful. All in all, we had a fantastic holiday and will definitely be returning. Thank you so much Tricia.

This was the third time we have stayed in the Cactus Villas- and the 2nd time in 220. We LOVE Patara Prince as a resort and especially Tricia’s lovely villas. You will have to take my word for the fact that they are even more spacious and pretty than they appear in the photographs – until you find out for yourself! The villas are spotlessly clean and very comfortable, with charming décor including lots of pretty Turkish traditional touches. Much more homey and cosy than a usual rental property. No need to worry about taking matches and sewing kit and hairdryer and games etc etc …Tricia has thought of everything. She has even provided suitcase scales so you can weigh your case before attempting to return to the UK with a mountain of Turkish Delight and 4 new handbags. This year there was the added (Turkish ha ha) delight of a comfortable sofa out on the patio, which was a lovely place to sit in the evenings with a glass of wine. From 220 one can watch the sunset across the sea …bliss. Patara Prince is a lovely resort, so pretty with all the properties nestled in amongst the landscaped gardens, and so may beautiful exotic flowers and plants everywhere. I found myself exclaiming ‘SMELL the jasmine!’ several times a day. For those keen on wildlife there are always some kittens to stroke if you feel like it , and our favourite –Speedy the tortoise, who pops up in the garden of 220 from time to time. We ate at the Round Pool Bar every lunchtime and had cocktails in the Piano Bar overlooking the twinkling lights of Kalkan and our weekly bar bill was ridiculously reasonable! In the evenings the Security Man at the top gate would get us a taxi into town, or one can walk in quite easily. On this visit my daughter and I went on our own and we felt perfectly comfortable and happy without a man about the house – which has concerned me sometimes on other travels! I have recommended Cactus 220 and 223 to many of my friends and family over the years and will continue to do so. They are a little secret treasure that I generously share- as does the endlessly friendly and helpful Tricia!

We had such a lovely time in kalkan. the accommodation was excellent and more than adequate for a couple and Im sure it would be great for a family of four. The Patara Prince Resort was very good and we had no difficulty in getting around although it is quite steep from top to bottom we had no difficulty and used their mini bus to bring us back up to the apartment, I also had a wonderful facial and reflexology in the spar. At this time of the year it was quite quiet which was great it meant we had a great choice of swimming platforms to sunbath and of course swim from, it was also very nice to use the boat to cross over to Kalkan of a evening where we enjoyed some excellent meals returning by taxi after a good night out. We stayed in some evenings, eating in with meat veg fruit and wine from town all great value and quality.There was still plenty of people on holiday even though it was October so there was still a good atmosphere in town. We also had a great day out visiting the Greek island of Meis from Kas, very pretty harbour and a nice walk, but remember to take your passport. We used the dolmus to get around 6tl Kas, 3tl Kaputas beach, 6tl Patara beach, you can wait for the dolmus by the road at the top of the resort and ask the driver to dro p you off at the Patara Prince. All in all a great holiday, hope to be back. Sue and Alby

We had a very pleasant stay at this apartment. It is nice and private and very close to the small supermarket. Communication with Tricia was excellent. She answered emails quickly with plenty of information. There was plenty of room for a couple and a good supply of books and DVDs to keep us entertained. The resort is very nice and kalkan has some excellent restaurants. Overall a very relaxing holiday.

Fantastic value, with some lovely touches thrown in. The villa is perfect for a family of four but two couples may find it a little too intimate as the living area and the double bedroom is combined open-plan. Being on the ground floor, it benefits from a nice garden with views of Kalkan bay. The Patrora Prince resort was pretty quiet with the restaurants virtually deserted. The resort is of high-quality but most people seem to spend their money in nearby Kalkan which is the place to be of an evening. As the information says, the Patora Prince is very steep (400 and odd steps from the sea to the villa) but the courtesy bus runs up and down all day long. The resort offers some great swimming in the sea and the top infinity pool is class. I cant praise the villas owners highly enough - their level of communication and desire to make sure everything went smoothly shone through. They even arranged car hire for us at half the normal price. To sum up, a great family holiday in a high-class resort with the delights of Kalkan on the doorstep. Recommended!

Very pleased, it was as described. We had a lovely time and would definately use again.

I cannot speak highly enough of the villa owners and their care of us pre holiday, the care and attention made us feel like if any thing was to go wrong we would be well looked after. I am happy to say nothing did go wrong. The resort was as beautiful as the photos and description led us to believe and the villa was clean, well kept and comfortable. We had a wonderful time and I am in no doubt that we will return at the earliest opportunity and have already been recommending it to friends and family.
