It was a very peaceful place to stay. First of all Patara Prince Resort and its nature, facilities etc were AMAZING! Also, the house was very clean and we found everything we need. Sue was a very good owner, she responsed our questions fastly.
In over all, we really recommend this place for a peaceful and nice holiday!

Cactus apartment 218 Patara Prince resort Kalkan

Turkey

Couple from Ankara, Turkey

We had a fantastic holiday staying at Cactus 218, the apartment was clean and had everything you need and the view was lovely as its at the top of the resort.  We were there end of september and spent most of our time relaxing by the top pool which was lovely and peaceful.  In the evenings we walked over to Kalkan and had some wonderful meals out and a few drinks after.

The apartment was perfect for us and we absolutely love Patara Prince and Kalkan. We will book again for next year. Not one complaint everything was great.

 From London, United Kingdom

Apartment was in a great location for us,only a few yards from the well-stocked market-shop and the infinity pool, where the views down to the bay and up to the hills were great. The walk to the bottom of the site to get to restaurants, sea pools and sea was steep okay, but you could catch a shuttle bus if timed right.

The apartment itself was clean and pleasantly furnished, with good views from the balcony. Not having air con in the second bedroom was a disadvantage and we did assume wed have some sort of welcome pack, but didnt.

The resort was not busy and the staff generally were very helpful.  The transfer from Dalaman was quite long but the current road improvements should shorten that.

 From Tarporley, United Kingdom

Although the property had been freshly painted and was in good taste, the second bedroom was literally feet away from the road, meaning one had to keep the window closed all night.  The bathroom is very basic with an inadequate shower that you can only use as a hand shower as the hook on the wall would only work for a seven foot giant.  The water was either scalding or freezing cold and it was difficult at times to find a comfortable temperature.  The space described as a kitchen is one unit, a plug in two ring hotplate and a small oven/grill.  There was no salad bowl and only one wine glass.  Even the most basic cooking in Turkey requires a salad!  The tap in the kitchen needed a new washer and was loose on the fixing, meaning it dripped constantly.  Despite reporting this to reception on three separate occasions nothing was done.  The kitchen tap spurted out boiling water when you turned it on, meaning we both had scalds as the water came out in spurts.  The kitchen and bathroom were inadequate and old fashioned, but this seems to be the way the place was built 15 so years ago.  We were told that there would be tea and coffee for us on our arrival....this consisted of two teabags and a quarter of a small jar of coffee.  There was only one duster sized tea towel so make sure you pack some.  On a more positive note, it was only £299 a week which was very cheap as it comfortably sleeps two couples. The resort is very nice with a wonderful sea water pool and beautiful landscaping.  The staff were on the whole friendly and helpful but perhaps the non appearance of the maintenance man is what Turkey is all about.....relaxed and friendly but not terribly efficient.  There is a small supermarket just outside the complex which sells basics (but no fruit or veg you would want to do anything but throw out) so it is quite a trek into Kalkan to get stocked up (unless you want to eat all meals in the resort restaurants which are quite reasonable but not very inspiring.)

Rather than pack a beach towel, buy one of the cotton towels they use in the Turkish bath (in Kalkan) for about a fiver in sterling.  That saves a lot of room in your suitcase and is fine for the pool to put on your sunbed.

Very satisfied with apartment - location, equipment and cleanliness.

Well what can we say the apartment was fantastic the views and resort
were the same!!!
We had some wonderful meals and fabulous day trips. We can honestly
say it was the best holiday we have ever had and would definately
consider a return visit. The steps were a challenge on certain days but
that added to the fun. Im really missing my morning coffee looking out
onto the sea. We took a fantastic picture when the sun was coming down
over the top pool which is now been transfered to canvas and is situated
pride of place in our conservitory!
Thank you again regards

We had a very relaxing holiday and the cave was just right for us.

<span style="font-size:8pt;color:#000080;font-family:Verdana;">Great place to relax and unwind - felt very private and the resort has good staff and facilities - there were always plenty of sun beds available. Visiting the Hamam and having a massage after is a must! The apartment itself is basic in terms of cooking facilities, but clean, with a decent shower and a lovely view. Overall a very enjoyable stay! </span>

The apartment was simply furnished yet comfortable, with a view  of kalkan bay and the mountains from the balcony. It is at the top of the complex, close to the infinity pool and small shop.Behind is a small road where you can park, and there was some occaisonal traffic noise, but ot was not significant.   It was a 5-8 min walk down to the other excellent pools and sea, where you could catch the water bus from the hotel quay over to Kalkan town.We enjoyed having the use of all the Hotel facilities, and the whole complex had lovely gardens and was very attractive.If you plan to self cater the cooking faciliites are rather basic, but Kalkan offers many great restaurants. We loved relaxing at the complex, and exploring the surrounding area. We had a great time and would definitely go back.
