Hi, anyone been to the BABA Hotel in Gumbet recently? If so, is it recommended? I've checked the sites and it is usually highly rated.

We have been to Gumbet a couple of times a few years ago (stayed at the Parkim Palace hotel and Jasmin Beach Apts.) But in recent years have been to Marmaris.

Fancy a change this year and remeber that the BABA was well located on Gumbet beach, and central for the town, bars, eating out etc, and was usually fully booked quite early on. It's rooms look to be basic, is the breakfast worth getting up for??

Any advice or comments would be appreciated....still looking for a week away in May!!
Cheers!

Hi,

I have not actually stayed at Baba Hotel but I organised a wedding there couple of years ago. The whole family stayed there and they were very happy with everything. I have been inside the rooms which were quite nice. The hotel staff are very nice and polite. The food is good too. So I guess I can recommend this hotel to you

We stayed at the Baba Hotel a couple of years ago and it was great and you can get a wonderful turkish bath there.The rooms were basic but clean and the breakfast was worth getting up for,eat outside and admire the wonderful veiw of the bay.

I popped into the Baba last summer for a Turkish bath (was staying at the Jasmin) and it was fantastic. I went for another Turkish Bath up in the hills on my second week, the place there was very plush but the bath at the Baba was far better and a very small fraction of the price. If you stay there, get a Turkish bath at the start of your hols. I met some people who were staying there whilst having my bath and they said they had a great time at the Baba.

Thanks for the comments above everyone. The BABA shoulds really good, I do remember that the Turkish Bath was highly recommended last time we were in Gumbet. Hopefully I'll be able to find out if we book for this year.

I'll let you know!!

just as westglam said i went into the Baba for a turkish bath (whilst staying at the Jasmin) and it all looked very nice with a very good central and beach location.

Suppose you have booked by now but i think that the jasmin will have changed quite a bit since you last went so its worth poping up and seeing the new block, its very impressive!

We stayed at the Baba last year and thought it was excellent. The rooms are basic (but who goes on holiday to stay in the room), and are cleaned daily. If you get a choice go for a ground floor apartment as the first floor rooms have a balcony with room for one person (must weigh less than 5 stone!!!). The pool is a good size and was always clean. The Baba is central for most things and the staff were very friendly. If you stay B&B the breakfasts are typically Turkish and the days we actually got up to go were adequate.
