Gumbet - my favourite subject! Flying out on Monday and can't wait. First went about 5 years ago and wasn't really bothered about going but then got there and absolutely fell in love with the place and have been going back at least twice a year (and mainly more) ever since. In fact, we love the place so much that we've bought our own house out there! Every time I get to Gumbet, I feel like I've come home.
Your hotel is in a nice location - at the best side of Gumbet in my opinion. The dogs are there but nothing to worry about. Never seen a rat and only one cockroach (and that was at Bodrum airport).
Gumbet is a great place and have something for everyone - it can be "banging", chilling and everything in between. You will soon find your own favourite bars and restaurants - there are load to choose from. Take the time to have a look round the peninsula as well, there are some lovely places. Food is great - and so much to choose from, do take the chance to try some real Turkish food, it's great.
What makes Gumbet for me is the people. Have made some really good friends out there and we keep in touch all year round. If you have any more questions, just ask - I could talk about Gumbet for hours!!
