A fairly compact hotel complex is a five-story building with a cozy sitting area, located three hundred steps from the sea. It is noteworthy that the architectural design originally provided for the resort specialization of the building. Therefore, the construction around it assumed the use and improvement of 1150 m2 ^of surrounding area for the infrastructure.

Building of the hotel building

Santa Marina Deluxe 4 * built in 2005. His then exterior with rectangular contours of a standard building corresponded to the architectural style of the 20th century, the so-called functionalism. This style was created for the "line" building of the city blocks with the building ends facing the street.
The hotel in 2009 was thoroughly renovated. Outwardly its facade changed, became more harmonious due to the appearance of a stylish visor on the columns. "Resort" view to it was given by a symmetrical arrangement of lawns with royal palms, and the originally arranged roof added club features. For painting the facade of the hotel building, the pastel-yellow color scheme was successfully chosen ... However, it was the reception, restaurant and public zone areas that were most affected by the most significant modernization of the Santa Marina Deluxe 4 *. Reviews rest after a major overhaul about it unanimous - it's a small and cozy family hotel.

Public areas of the hotel

The hotel's main restaurant is stylishly decorated, in the spirit of "black and white."

The sea in the water area near the hotel is very clean (looks to a huge depth), almost always calm and warm, like milk. Undoubtedly, this is one of the decisive factors of the popularity of the Santa Marina Deluxe Hotel 4 *.

Do not also believe the promotion of advertising about the "sand" of the beach. There is simply no sand here. There is a pebble. Very very shallow, almost like sand. According reviews of tourists, the difference is practically not felt: comfortable smooth entry into the water; On such pebbles it is possible to walk freely barefoot, without special footwear.

Food

The kitchen of the main (and only) restaurant of Santa Marina Deluxe 4 * (Antalya) is organized according to the home principle. There is no murderous ostentatious advertising range, typical for six-star hotels. But from several alternative dishes for each position presented in the menu, it is simply impossible to refuse. Food is always fresh, cooked with a soul. Holidaymakers about such catering organization in the hotel respond: "At home!"

By the time meals are organized in the usual way for holidaymakers. For vacationers offer breakfast from 7 ⁰⁰ to 9 ³⁰ , lunch - from 12 ³⁰ to 13 ³⁰ , dinner - from 19 ^{00 to} 21 ³⁰ .

Excursions

To visit Turkey and not take advantage of sightseeing tours - the top of frivolity. After all, this is a historical land, and besides it is not deprived of natural unique objects. Objects of modern resort infrastructure also attract tourists Santa Marina Deluxe 4 * (Antalya). Their comments, at least, mention visited water parks, restaurants, shopping centers.

However, for holidaymakers who are considering their excursion program for the Country of the Star and the Crescent, we recommend to present it to ourselves exactly as Asia Minor (as it was once called). This country was under the power of both slave-owning Rome and Orthodox Byzantium. Its tourist sites are known in the world, and excursions to them are in demand.

We also recommend not to buy guided tours from tour agencies. After all, their work in this case is to "vparit" (another word simply can not be picked up here) for a holiday tourist at a double price. On this depends an increase in their salaries. However, the fact remains that the market price of excursions, set according to the level of prices from professional bureaus, is overestimated by about two times.

Therefore, contact better in decent, well-known tour desk. What to choose? We give only the names: Pammukale, Cappadocia, Ich-Kale, Side (Roman Agora), Green Canyon, Dalmatash grotto, Demre-Mira-Kekkova.

Shopping in the shopping center "Dipo"

Of course, a special bonus for holidaymakers in the hotel complex is its proximity to Antalya itself. Near the hotel there is a bus stop. From here, trip buses, vacationers, paying 2 lira for a ticket, go shopping in large shopping centers. The most popular shopping center "Dipo" among holidaymakers in Santa Marina Deluxe 4 *. Photos of the part of this huge stock market, located on the route Antalya-Alanya, is presented below. Here discounts and promotions are year-round. The prices are one and a half to two times lower than in Moscow. Compatriots who came for shopping, at first, take fright from the abundance of brands represented.

Other shopping opportunities

Another popular tourist center is Migros. It's really a huge outlet. Only its parking lot has 1300 cars.

The clothing market of Antalya deserves attention. It is advantageous to buy textiles and leather goods. Impressive branded children's clothes can be bought at reasonable prices in the shop "Waikiki".

The proximity to Antalya - the international shopping center, characterized by high quality of goods and their relatively low prices, attracts lovers of leisure and shopping in Santa Marina Deluxe 4 * (Turkey).

Reviews of the guests of this hotel about visiting shopping centers attest to the possibility of real shopping for them here.

Conclusion

There is no universal model of an ideal hotel for rest. One important is the spirit of the party, noisy animation, for others the quieter aura of the hotel complex is more peaceful. One needs foam discotheques until late at night, others have enough sea, sun and beach. Some see the point in eating on their holidays in restaurants with a menu of hundreds of dishes. To others, this aspect is not so important, but it is quite sufficient to regularly prepare a limited number of quality dishes on a "home-like" basis.

For some, the hypertrophied infrastructure of the hotel complex is important, allowing you to have a boring time, having stayed all the vacation near the hotel pool bar without showing your own initiative and expecting "something new" only from animators and guides; For others, the constant spirit of the planned excursion tour and the collecting of impressions are important.

Calm, high-quality and quite decent boarding house guarantees its guests Santa Marina Deluxe 4 * (Antalya, Turkey). The reviews also show that it is an ideal platform for the various excursion tours initiated by the holidaymakers themselves. An important factor is that it is located almost in Antalya itself.

Unlike Kemer, where there are many Russians, where one can often hear Russian speech, and the assortment of goods, frankly speaking, is limited, Antalya is really abroad. Here, when buying is better to communicate in English, the choice of goods is much higher and you can make stunning shopping tours.

"Santa Marina" - just such a small and cozy hotel, which is able to provide tourists with a good beach holiday and boarding house, while not standing the sky-high money.
