Murat Pasa Konagi

After reading the rave reviews we booked for 8 nights. We've been to Dalyan several times so knew it was quite far out of the centre, but it didn't matter as we had a car. The hotel is beautiful, both inside and out. The pool and grounds are lovely. Now the bad points: Drilling and banging all day until 7.30pm every day (we were told by Murat the unhelpful owner that if we didn't like it we should be out all day!); they don't serve alcohol at the 'bar'; the breakfasts were rubbish (unlike the photo), with cheese, lettuce, cucumber, and tomatoes of the lowest quality on a plate (half way through eating this delightful fare someone appeared at your shoulder with a fried egg, which I didn't ask for). And some of the plastic grill around the pool was missing, which could have been hazardous. After four nights we'd had enough and moved out. I wasn't going to stick it out just because I'd paid for it. In the end we found a lovely hotel that was a little more expensive, but was so much better. In fact, friends we'd met and were staying at the Murat Pasha came to our hotel and ate the superb breakfast with us every morning. If you read my other reviews you will see that I try to be fair-minded and objective. We were convinced that the owners couldn't have been the couple mentioned in all the good reviews, but we now know that they've been there for nine years. Unbelievable!
