We stayed there in July/Aug but been so chilled after our visit I forgot to put a review on! This is the fourth time we've stayed at the Delfin, though we've visited Patara many many times. This hotel is wonderful - comfortable, clean, great breakfast, friendly staff, beautiful pool and a new poolside bar which is great for that - erm - nightcaps which can go on into the early hours of the morning! The meals/snacks provided by Ismail are delicious - especially his spaghetti.....The main attraction though are the staff and owners of the hotel (and of St Nicholas restaurant down the road). They are friends of many years and nothing is too much trouble, this is why we return to Patara and the Delfin year after year. It's a superbly relaxing place and we'll be back next year - thanks to all our friends.

Just returned from Patara, stayed at the Delfin for the second time and wish were still there. The hotel is a family operated business providing friendly and efficient service with a relaxed atmosphere.The accommodation is above average for Turkish hotels and offers A/C and mosquito nets, food is excellent and includes transport to the beach, beach towels and afternoon tea.
Views from the hotel offer stunning sunsets and the barbeques organised on the recently extended pool area where outstanding.
The hotel proprietor Mustapha also runs the St Nicholas Restaurant and pension which provides a wide variety of good food.

Many thanks Mustapha,Asha Ahmet, Tsuna, Gerkhan, Ishamael, Ebo (both of you) and Cevern (apoligies if I have misspelt your name.

Hope to see you next year Jenny and Brian

This is an extremely welcoming and friendly that always attracts a wonderfully international mix of guests. It is relaxing, with polite yet easy-going staff, and quiet,
I love this place and have just come back from 2 and a half weeks of sheer bliss. The hotel is spotlessly clean; the staff are friendly and helpful without encroaching on your holiday; Mustafa and his family will bend over backwards to make you feel welcome and relaxed; food is excellent (I really recommend the Bar-b-que...OUTSTANDING) and they cater for everyone. We have stayed here several times now, I wouldn't go anywhere else in Patara, and each time they are anxious to know what they can do better. The rooms are a little on the small side, however, we don't spend much time in there so not really an issue. The bathrooms are excellent.
I am a real beach bunny usually but the pool area here is so comfortable and relaxing that we often just chill out by the pool.
Finally, the service is outstanding - if you want something and they don't have it or do it, they will make it happen - nothing is too much trouble for them.

Fourth time here, love the small friendly atmosphere of this family pension. Mustafa, Ahmet and family go out of their way to please. It might not be luxury accommodation but what it lacks in that department is made up for in cleanliness, character and a true sense of Turkey, all rooms have air conditioning, mosquito nets and a balcony. They organise trips, airport transfers, taxis, a beach shuttle while offering excellent cuisine, a lovely well kept swimming pool with bar. We just love the location and lack of commercial tourism which so often spoils any traditional feel to a place.the hotel is set up on the hillside set in small, well tended lush gardens. We both look forward to returning soon.
