Hotel Marin Hotel 3 * (Turkey / Kemer): photos, rates and reviews

Have you finally decided to go on vacation abroad? Are you interested in Turkey hotels? Which one should I choose? Of course, everything depends on the means that tourists are willing to pay for their vacation. Weekly full rest in a five-star hotel for two will cost 1000 $. Weekly economy-vacation in the Country of the Star and the Crescent at the rate of one person at a minimum will cost $ 300, an inexpensive board in the all inclusive system - from $ 500. The latter option, of course, is more preferable for the majority of Russians, because it at sparing prices includes a full cycle of hotel service. Naturally, the price expression of services offered by hotels in Turkey is completely different. If there is not enough money, and your budget of a hotel guesthouse amounts to $ 60 per day, then in this case tour operators will be able to offer you a good option for recreation.

Resort regions of Turkey

First of all, it should be determined which region of Turkey you will prefer for the holiday: the southern (the coast of the Mediterranean Gulf), the western (Aegean Sea), the northern (Black Sea). The most popular resorts of Turkey are the Mediterranean Sea. Let us list the largest of them: Alanya, Antalya, Beldibi, Belek, Cecme, Didim, Fethiye, Kemer, Kusadasi, Side. The most famous city is Antalya, which not only gave the name to the world-famous Mediterranean resort bay, but also is the air gateway to the Country of the Star and the Crescent.

Also among tourists are such popular Aegean resorts of Turkey as Bodrum, Marmaris, Izmir. It is characteristic that the resort city of Bodrum is unofficially called the capital of night entertainment in Turkey. It is preferred by young people, for whom the spirit of communication, joy, hangouts is important.

It is characteristic that the inhabitants of Turkey prefer to resorts resorts of the Black Sea coast: Sinop, Samsun, Amasru. Their infrastructure is built on the model of the Mediterranean. However, Russian tourists prefer them resorts of the Mediterranean and Aegean seas.

Meet: three-star Marin Hotel

Question: "Is it possible to get a classic level boarding house, while paying all inclusive for a board of no more than $ 50 per day?" - is relevant for many vacationers. He is fully responsible for the rating of hotels in Turkey. It is compiled annually, based on the reviews of the rest at the hotel. It is the rating that serves as an incentive for hotel managers to constantly stimulate the improvement of the quality of customer service by the staff. At the same time, the main criterion for choosing a particular hotel is the price / quality ratio.

It should be recognized that many resorts in Turkey do provide a high indicator of this criterion. Kemer, only one of the resort towns of Antalya, offers several options for inexpensive hotels, guaranteeing a good boarding house. Let us dwell on one of them.

This hotel complex is the destroyer of prejudice for those holiday-makers, whose three-star hotels are associated with poorly washed dishes, meager menu, inadequate quality of services. Let's say more: among the tourists who visited it, more than ¾ positive tourists. Agree, not every hotel-four-star deserves this assessment. Resorts agree in their opinions that in fact Marin Hotel 3 * provides its clients with services of four-star class. Among the guests there are also those who fly to rest for several seasons here.

In this article, we tried to summarize customer feedback and summarize them.

About the hotel

The hotel complex was built in the area of Beldibi (Antalya), which is a suburb of Kemer. However, 19 km - a short distance, and the Marin Hotel 3 * daily organizes trips to the city center.

In the hotel two- and four-story buildings 127 rooms. This hotel is the second line, 600 meters long enough to pass the holidaymakers to the own beach of the Marin Hotel. The area of the territory of this three-star is 4.5 thousand m ² . It provides quality basic services to its customers: four meals a day all inclusive. There is a bar. Four pools are specialized for use by various groups of swimmers, among them one child. The Turkish hammam provides its services free of charge to the holidaymakers.

Resorts like that at the hotel complex there are small cozy shops. In them, anyone can buy for themselves at very democratic prices all the most necessary: from food to household items.

Design

A small quiet, cozy hotel - on an ancient land, once called Lycia, mentioned in the Iliad. The most nature for him created a picturesque place between the sea and the Taurus mountains. In 1998, a stylish modern Marin Hotel 3 * was built here, then completely renovated ten years later. Its main building is compact enough, modern, equipped with graceful windows, in Byzantine, rounded up. Such windows Turkey took from the country, before it had this territory of Asia Minor. The facade of the building faces the central pool. A wide terrace of the restaurant leads to the rectangular pool. Another hotel building Marin Hotel 3 *, two-story, is located perpendicular to the four-story building.

What makes the hotel popular?

What in the arrangement of the hotel strikes the eye and is remembered for travelers? This is the subject of numerous reviews. Dinner at the tables on a picturesque terrace, framed by flowering flower beds by the pools, artistically illuminated. A small hotel has its own "zest", know-how: each of the four pools is individualized by its characteristic illumination, as well as the music that sounds from him. Weekly holiday in Marin Hotel 3 * Kemer (Beldibi) - the so-called Turkish night, where as entertainers the hotel's costumed employees appear as entertainers. Touches just the same family atmosphere, carefully maintained in the hotel by its employees, friendly and hardworking, like ants. Perhaps this also attracts holidaymakers again and again to come to rest in this Beldibi hotel.

Rooms of the hotel complex

We will touch upon the important factor of the boarding house for holidaymakers - the arrangement of their rooms. It's nice that in suites, as the holidaymakers themselves admit, quality European-quality repair is done (which is normal for six-star hotels, but it is unique for three-star hotels). The convenience for the guests is free and powerful Wi-Fi.

The area of the standard room is quite decent (28 m ² ), which clearly exceeds the standards of the economy class. The number of beds in a standard suite is up to three. The hotel also provides 8 two-room (family) rooms. Each room has a well-equipped bathroom with a shower and a balcony, which is a kind of place for admiring the mountains and the sea. For the convenience of the guests Marin Hotel 3 * Kemer (Beldibi) rooms equipped with all necessary appliances: air conditioning, refrigerator, telephone, TV with Russian channels, hairdryer.

Recreation at the swimming pools and shopping

Professional landscape design turns the pool area into a paradise. The peculiarity of this particular hotel complex is the individualization of each swimming pool, as we mentioned above. Everyone who has a rest at the hotel has a "own" pool, because all three "adult" pools are designed for swimmers with different skills.

A comfortable place for lunch and dinner is an open restaurant, serving 250 people at the same time and a breakfast terrace that seats 200 people. Blooming flower beds, fountains, orange and banana trees complement the hotel infrastructure developed by Hotel Marin 3 *.

Kemer, one of the resort centers of Antalya, is located 13 kilometers from the considered hotel complex. The owner of the hotel takes away daily wishing guests (and they are always there) for shopping in the shops of gold, leather and furs of this city. At the same time, prices are quite democratic. In the city, tourists, to their surprise, see a lot of signs of shops written in Russian. Such boutiques are mainly located in the center of the city: on Avturyur Boulevard and on the pedestrian Lyman Street. Among the merchants there are more Russians than Germans.

However, after all, we recommend buying more affordable prices at LC Waikiki, as well as on the manufactured goods market. There are lower prices.

But even in this case, of course, should know how to bargain shoppers from the Hotel Marin 3 *. Kemer, like any other Turkish city with the eastern market, is famous for its national custom - to bargain. Here it is normal. However, as far as how much a shopper should comply with this custom, there is one limitation: once you have named the purchase price, you should pay it. Therefore, one must be able to bargain - and you will buy a good thing at half price, which would be paid in Moscow.

Hotel beach

It is naive to believe that the three-star hotel has a beach awarded with the "Blue Flag", which Turkey is famous for. Hotels 5 stars, at least, have the opportunity to enjoy such recreational opportunities.

For vacationers of such small three-star hotel complexes, the main role is played by basic amenities: beach accessibility, the quality of the nearby sea area, the availability of beach services, attractions, and entry into the water. Let's talk about these characteristics of Hotel Marin 3 * (Turkey).

From the hotel to the sea go 600 meters. Its sand and pebble beach is equipped with all the equipment necessary for recreation. Here, vacationers can get free sun beds, umbrellas, towels. We recommend to take a seat on the beach until 10 ⁰⁰ . Also superfluous here will not be beach rubber slippers for swimming. With their purchase, the resorters will manage without inconvenience to step on the pebbles of the beach and the bottom when entering the water.

Sunset in the water is initially inconvenient. The bottom stones here are larger than pebbles and are cobblestones. However, the hotel landscaped the entrance to the water resting, lining the bottom with special flat up bags filled with gravel. In view of the foregoing, in general, it can be rightly stated: the Hotel Marin 3 * provides a quality beach holiday.

Water attractions and sports games

The positive moment of water recreation on the beach is the presence of water attractions. They are also on the beach Hotel Marin. Traditionally in demand riding on a banana (bananaseyling), parachute flights (parasailing). Do not remain without attention and want to slide on the waves on surfboards and row on the canoe. Resorts are riding a sailboat.

The highlight of the hotel, which we already mentioned, is the availability of four specialized outdoor pools. For a three-star hotel it's cool!

Food

The food in this three-star hotel complex is organized according to the principles typical of the four-star hotel. Organized (and this is noted in the reviews of holidaymakers) is the professional work of the hotel restaurant staff, providing quality and a fairly wide range of dishes. Among the meat dishes there is a chicken, but in all kinds. Thighs, legs, cutlets, less often cooked on the grill. Once a week, there is a shawarma on the menu. Why is that? We will answer this question below.

Kitchen Marin Hotel 3 * (Kemer) daily includes many vegetable dishes, salads. Among the latter - very delicious dishes from eggplant. Recommended. A lot of baking, which is typical for Turkish cuisine in general. Daily rest can enjoy watermelons, melons, often - peaches, grapes.

All inclusive system also includes low-alcohol drinks: beer, red and white wine. Beer and white wine are pleasant enough to taste. In the bar there is also a gin and tonic.

Let's answer the question: is not the excessive saving by the administration the prevalence of chicken meat dishes?

The reason for this is banal: the prices at which Turkey lives. Hotel Marin Hotel 3 * is no exception. Are you sincerely complaining about the "stinginess of the hotel administration" from the holiday-makers, who paid only $ 50 for a day-board? It becomes clear, given that one kilogram of beef in Turkey costs $ 50.

Meanwhile, it is estimated that only one holiday-maker a day (for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner) is eating this kilogram of meat and seafood. So is it any wonder that in the menu of Turkish hotels meat dishes from chicken?

Where to buy excursions?

The stay of holidaymakers in Antalya at the hostel is characterized by certain excursions, which can be recommended for those who have chosen the Hotel Marin 3 * for the guest house. In this case, we advise you not to use excursions from travel agencies, as they maximize their income, double the market price for them. Therefore, it is preferable to use the services of professional local excursion bureaus. Choose the best you can help reviews of holidaymakers who stayed in the hotel before you. Let's just say that the fabrications on the part of representatives of travel agencies on the low level of service of excursion bureaus are black PR, which has nothing to do with reality.

Excursions to objects of social infrastructure

Speaking of the nature of the excursions, we will mention some of them. For people who are interested not in historical values, but in the more modern infrastructure of Turkey, it is useful to visit the real eastern market in Antalya and see the lively color of the country of the Stars and Crescent. The Europeans should understand that this is not just a place to trade with endless rows of goods, but also a socio-cultural phenomenon where local people live and communicate.

Children will enjoy a visit to the discovery park. They here can see the tangible appearance of prehistoric animals - dinosaurs. The impression of these children will increase due to the fact that the models of these giants, "reacting to their approach" show "signs of life": they stir and make sounds. Also visitors of this park have an opportunity to see an exotic fish exhibition, gathered from all over the world, to watch in the terrarium of various snakes and spiders.

Pamukkale

Nevertheless, most of the popular excursions are correlated with certain historical or natural objects, with which the land of Turkey is rich. Most tourists who came to it, want to visit Pamukkale or, as they call this historical natural object, a "cotton castle". Its exterior is picturesque - cascades of natural baths, snow-white from salt deposits. This place is also famous for its thermal baths, and the famous Cleopatra basin, where mineral water is heated by a geyser, directed by the ancient Romans to the marble rim of the Roman baths. Unfortunately, the earthquake destroyed the ancient columns and portico around the Cleopatra Basin, but in general the whole pool with healing water continues to function from ancient times. Is not this a miracle!

Cappadocia

Another unique historical and natural object is Cappadocia. The nature of hundreds of thousands of years labored to carve from stone unique pillar-shaped rocks. However, this marvelous land creation of nature was already in our era supplemented with the first Christian temples carved into the rocks. Interest is not only the region of Cappadocia, but also the homonymous town. After all, the rooms of his houses are mostly carved in the rocks. People, our contemporaries, live directly in the rocks. It's worth seeing.

Grotto of Dalmataş

The unique miracle of nature is the grotto of Dalmatash. The beauty of its majestic stalactite vault is emphasized by special background lighting and sounding music. It itself is below the level of the Mediterranean Sea and has an air cavity of 2.5 thousand m ³ . It retains a special microclimate: a relative humidity of 98% and a temperature of +22.3 ° C.

It is noteworthy that until 1948 it was a secret place. And its discovery happened at random, with a directed explosion for the development of quarries. His researchers discovered that a few centuries ago there were hiding corsairs, and during the Second World War fascists were hiding.

The fortress of Ich-Calais

Ancient Power Byzantium previously owned these lands of Asia Minor. Its unique device was similar to the Vatican. The Orthodox faith was the core of its statehood, and the fortresses served as defense outposts. One of such fortresses - Ich-Kale - has retained its appearance to our times. It is necessary to pay tribute to the ancient builders: they built not for centuries, but for millennia! In the fortress the foundations of Byzantine buildings were preserved. Here, oddly enough, there is a modern infrastructure: residential buildings, and even some institutions. The entrance to some inner towers and other objects is for a fee.

The fortress is rather big. For her thorough examination of the day will not be enough. Arriving here on the tour it is desirable to have easy and comfortable walking shoes.

Conclusion

Rest in Antalya in a comfortable hotel with European-style renovation for the price of a day-boarding house at $ 50 - now a rarity. Therefore, a three-star hotel, providing basic services of the level of classic, is a desirable place for a resort holiday. At least, the rating of hotels in Turkey in its first ten includes five-, four-, and three-star hotels. What is different about rest in a good three-star hotel from a guesthouse in similar, but more "star" spa establishments? The lack of some non-basic services. There are no animators, a SPA center, a restaurant for recording, several bars, a fitness center, water slides. The assortment of homogeneous dishes (for example, meat) is not 20 items, but 5-6. However, for most holiday-makers this seems uncritical. Much more important - there is a tasty and satisfying; To live in a well-appointed room with European-quality repair and a full set of home appliances, to bathe in a clean as a tear of the Mediterranean Sea; At leisure use free Wi-Fi, comfortably relax by the pool and, of course, visit the amazing corners of the world during excursions. The Hotel Marin 3 * offers such facilities.

A quality package of basic services, weighted and perspective management and a well-coordinated team of hotel complex staff make the Marin Hotel 3 * a rating and popular one.

In general, this hotel of the Turkish Mediterranean, of course, can be recommended for recreation.
