Very lively resort. Plenty to do for families and singles. Saw no trouble and very clean place. People so friendly. Many of the singles went into Gumbet of a night time or into Bodrum town. Buses very regular every 10 minutes. Beaches clean, sun beds free, as long as you buy one drink in the nearest bar. Very long and narrow beach. Not good for sand castle building, as too many people in August, but we managed.
Would have liked more shops selling Turkish things, rather than fake designer clothes that they think we want.
Only tip - recommend you take drinks or snacks to airport, when waiting for flight home, as airport very expensive. Duty free cheaper at Gatwick than Bodrum.
Looking forward to going back

Gumbet is great...never been to Turkey before and didn't know what to expect but the Turkish are the frendliest people you will ever meet in your life. They love to chat to you and more often than not aren't trying to sell you anything they just fancy a little chat so please be nice as so many holidaymakers are so nasty to them and at some points I was embarassed to be in the same nation as some of these rude people!!
The beach is lovely and you can use the pools of all the hotels on the beachfront, the Anil we found to be fantastic and their food is amazing!!!
As for nightlife, I am in a young couple and found that after 3am all clubs were playing Dance music which isn't our thing but the Frog karaoke bar and Outback Indie bar are fantastic!!
Go on Sam the Man's boat trip. You will find him on the beach in front of the Anil Hotel...best day of the holiday, so relaxing!!

Fantastic resort. Would definitely go again and there are plenty of basic but clean hotels to choose from.

I stayed in Gumbet, and found the resort to be clean considering the amount of people that were there. The entertainment in the resort is fantastic! There are many bars and restaurants to choose from. The beach was clean but quite shingly. The sunbeds were free which was great.There was also "beach service" if you wanted a drink or snack etc, it was brought to you, how good is that? I will be visiting this resort again.

Gumbet is really clean with loads of shops that are so cheap it is ridiculous.The restaurants are great with good food at silly prices.Our family ate out every night and it was never more than about £35 for three couses with drinks!!!
The only down side is the hassling you get from shop and restaurants trying to get you to go in but even then they are never nasty and like to joke with you.

Most restaurants in Gumbet are really cheap and the staff are great. Meals and drinks are generally more expensive at the beachfront but still very reasonable.
If you are a wine or cider drinker you will be dissapointed. the wine is very dry and horrible tasting and not all places sell cider and if they do it is expensive the beer is also very gassy and I don't think you can get drunk on it!
Expect hassle hassle hassle in the shops and on a night from the men selling (very poor) roses. above all though a nice little resort resort with plenty to offer.

Beach is right on doorstep, not too crowded but rather pebbley wasnt too keen on the sea, quite a bit of rubbish floating about.
Resort itself, is very clean and well maintained
got a bit fed up with the rose sellers, they dont seem to understand no and they can be quite annoying.
There's live entertainment round the bar pool in the evenings, if you do book make sure your not right over the pool if you like to get any sleep, we didnt mind as we were out till early hours every night.
We visited the Calypso bar nearly every day, food and drinks spot on, staff are very friendly and helpful, you have to meet crazy joe, go and you will see why

The resort was good for families and lots of entertainment could be found around the beach in the evenings which was suitable for families.
The beach was great with lots of play areas and water sports etc.
Expect to receive alot of hassle from shops and restaurants touting for trade especially in the evenings.

The resort is lively with everything open really late but also very family orientated. The waiters in the restaurants cannot do enough for you. Try the Red Dragon for good food and good entertainment or The Parrot for really good food and excellent service.

The resort itself was very clean and had everything you could want from a 2 week holiday.
Bar street was focused more on the teenage/young adult market with typical loud music and party atmosphere but still great fun if you want a lively night.
Walking along the beach front is a lot more layed back and relaxing for a night out with a very chilled atmosphere (do beware of flower sellers they are not free and are after a donation).
The beach is mostly pebbles and can be a little tough on the feet but is kept very clean and is safe for even little ones to have a paddle with plenty of sunloungers or giant cushions to lounge about on (all free).
All in all Gumbet is beautiful and one of the safest places for families young or old and we enjoyed it so much we have already booked for Aug 07...
