This was our favorite place to stay in Turkey. The couple that run it are so warm and giving. The location is perfect, nature all around and a great beach 10 minutes away. The town has everything you need great restaurants and very friendly locals! The room and property are great and watch out the dog steals hearts….!

I liked how well equipped and clean it was. They also have the best Turkish breakfast I have ever had (I've had a lot). The room was comfortable and the staff was friendly. I would stay here again in the future.

Visited a couple of times before. Village restaurants not so good as previously. Simbar charging more than in Kalkan for cocktails! Village generally very quiet this time, no buzz, however first time visiting in Sept, which may account for this. Bus timetable not worth publishing as they come when they want and don't always go to the bus station.

Despite its popularity, Patara remains a traditional Turkish village. This is because it is protected for both archaeological and nature reasons. Turtles nest here. We visit regularly. It is all accessible on foot but if it's very hot or you have trouble walking any distance, it is best to get the dolmus to the beach. Yes, you have to pay to enter the beach but this is because it is part of an archaeological site. The beach was very, very crowded on a hot summer weekend (avoid in high season if you don't like crowds) but it is so long it's easy to find space to sit and swim. Patara is very convenient for visits to other sites like Xanthos and Letoon.

Patara must be the one of the most perfect holiday destinations. An enormous, world class beach which means it is never crowded.
In addition you walk past or through the excavated Lycian and Roman ruins of the ancient port city - amazing!
And, of course, the wonderful generosity and good nature of the locals.

The village was small and very chilled with no hassle.
The village was small and very chilled with no hassle. I'm a single Mum and went with my 11 year old daughter and it was such a safe environment. The people were really helpful and friendly. It actually reminded me a bit of Guatemala, bit of a hippy laid back vibe, no McDonalds etc in sight! The beach was amazing, great waves for body boarding and miles of golden sand with only one beach restaurant, so unspoilt! Surrounded by ruins and a laying ground for turtles has ensured Patara beach isn't flooded with shops, beach bars etc, so 10 miles of loveliness. Best beach I've ever been to in Europe easily... Food in Patara is really affordable, booze a bit more (Muslim country) but fine. Some restaurants don't sell booze but plenty do! Spent so much less this holiday than in Greece. I never usually go to the same place twice but would seriously consider returning to Patara. Loved it!
- Very well maintained green area with a beautiful view of the pool and palm trees from the balcony. The rooms are clean and tidy. Good wi-fi.
- Delicious breakfasts, there are always fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables.
- Attentive host and his family are always ready to help solve any problems.
- A gorgeous sandy beach, which can be reached in several ways. In the evening, you can go to the sand dunes and admire the sunset.
Thank you for your hospitality, we enjoyed everything! Highly recommended!
This was probably one of our favorite places we stayed in Turkey and we stayed at all places we rated at least a 9 out of 10. The staff is incredibly friendly and the small bungalow hotel style rooms are awesome. You have your own front porch area and even a clothes line to hang clothes. There are food gardens all around the rooms. The restaurant here is AMAZING. There are a few parking spots on the hotel property If you’re driving. I highly recommend this hotel!
Patara was one of our biggest positive surprises during our stay in Turkey. It's a beautiful place and I would recommend anyone to visit.
The hotel itself is new with friendly owners. We especially remembered the delicious breakfasts with freshly baked bread and home made specialties (cheeses, jams).
The hotel is within walking distance of the center of Gelemiş town.
I recommend especially to families with children :)
The staff was very helpfull and everyone was really nice ☺️
The breakfast was good.
They have a free shuttle service to the beach at 11:00am and they get you back from the beach at 4:30 pm, you'll just have to pay for the entrance of the patara beach. (in taxi you have to pay 50tl one way)
They serve tea and cake at 05:00pm.
Plus they helped me to change money.
The black cat was too cute ☺️
We returned to the Hotel after a visit 14 years ago and were not disappointed. Serdar and his wife were the perfect hosts and could not do enough for us. The breakfast was very good and the pool perfect. Lifts down to the beach were offered every day. Two special barbecues helped make the stay a very memorable one indeed.
Great location in a small town near Patara beach and dunes. We liked the breakfast very much and the terrace where it was served is beautiful. Markets and restaurants are very close and offer good prices. There is a fridge and kettle on the first floor if you need it. Free and fast wifi, laundry service for a reasonable fee.
A lovely cozy family-run hotel in the serene village of Gelemiş.
The colours and smells of flowers in the hotel yard are stunning!
We also appreciated the welcoming attitude of hotel staff; also a ride to Dalaman airport was easily arranged.
Of course, Patara beach, Patara ancient city and Lycian trail are a must-visit.
I loved the hotel. The rooms are comfortable and well maintained. The swimming pool and the gardens are beautiful. The breakfast is simple and delicious. The staff and in particular Dilara are exceptionally welcoming, kind and helpful: they went out of their way to make our stay very enjoyable and memorable.
We loved the seclusion, location and views. Cesmi, the owner was always available for advice and help and sorted out the few issues that we had, promptly and efficiently. The bottle of Patara wine was a lovely welcome gesture and the home baked bread was greatly appreciated.
Best days that we spend in Türkiye. Hosts is extremely friendly and helpful. Location and interior relax your mind. Patara beach is a bit far from location, but it is same for any other hotels around. Supermarkets is not far. Love the spirit of this place
This is a very good budget option in Patara. The accommodation is basic, but clean and everything works (including aircon). The staff was very friendly, the location was fine, and the fairly basic breakfast was improved with fresh-baked bazlama bread.
The only moment we were satisfied with our holiday was Patara beach. I would like to say this for those who do not know; Since Patara beach is a historical place, beach entrance and sunbeds / umbrellas are always charged.
I liked how well equipped and clean it was. They also have the best Turkish breakfast I have ever had (I've had a lot). The room was comfortable and the staff was friendly. I would stay here again in the future.
It is a nice and cosy place run by a friendly family. Food was good and in large portions. The hotel is right next to the main road, so it easy to reach and there was not much noise. The room/hotel was clean.
Bekir the owner is a great guy. Very responsible and helpful. The house is clean and well made. Much better then usual hotel rooms. It is just what is advertised. Great value for the money!!!
The hotel is located in a small town near patara beach, its like a little piece of heaven. The garden and pool area are unique and the staff are very friendly and helpful.
Just loved the hotel very quaint, loved that they had hammocks swings.The staff are lovely and helpful, no loud music it's a hotel that will take all your stress away
