Gumbet is great and has everything you need, we had some lively night and some quiter nights, we found every bar we went to so friendly.
The hotel is five mins from the beach and you can walk all the way round the bay and there are bars all the way round. Ten mins up the road from Bodrum which is also really nice.
I loved Gumbet and would love to go back

Gumbet is a growing resort increasingly catering for english /irish holiday makers who want a loud bar based holiday.
It still retains a lot of its character with windmills and a good sandy beach with water sports.It needs to limit the number of bars and clubs which encroach on the central resort resembling Blackpool at night.
Its a good central base to explore the surronding areas of both Bodrum,Turgetries and Bitez within easy reach by foot or dolmus,not suitable for those with walking difficulties due to the slopes and raised pavements.

Gumbet is a lively place. We think it best suits young people who enjoy the nightlife.
The people who stand outside their restaurants begging you to eat there get on your nerves in the end. Its impossible for women alone to walk down the streets without being harassed continuously.
We thought Gumbet was an expensive place to stay and that included eating out.

What a contrast from the busy brash Marmaris, such a laid back friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
Nice cheerful sea side location with out 6 gaslighters for a pound and the kiss me quick hats, definitely a top resort choice in Turkey.

We really enjoyed staying in Gumbet. The resaurants and bars along the beach front were fantastic. Plenty lively enough to keep us entertained if we wanted a 'quiet' night away from bar street. We particularly loved the Ayaz. The food,entertainment& staff there were brilliant, absolutely flawless. Other favourites were the Baba and, if you go to bar street, shakers. I would only warn ladies to be careful coming back from bar street late at night, its not always a nice experience. Plenty of water sports & boat trips on offer in the day. We were impressed with the selection of excursions available. Also liked being so close to Bodrum as its great for shopping & nights out.

The location Of The Siesta is about 20 min walk from the centre of Gumbet which is a nice walk back at the end of the night. The beach is right on the doorstep although it is quite narrow and not very clean. There aren't any supermarkets nearby and the hotel shop was expensive and did not have much choice only bare essentials. There are plenty of really good restaurants nearby though. Our favourites were Cafe Colombia, Windy Bay and Mistral - all excellent for steaks although they get very busy and you're often in for a long wait at peak times. Red Dragon also very good but a bit pricy - good exchange rate here for your money though.
The very best restaurant we found was Planet Yucca - absolutely superb - reasonably priced and a wide choice of food with live music at night - service impeccable nothing's too much trouble and they even provide free transport from your hotel and back if you need it. I really can't recommend Planet Yucca enough - give it a try - you won't regret it.
We had many a night drinking fishbowls and being slightly fragile the morning after. Gumbet really doesn't close and keeps going all night long. Everything seems to stay open all night. The Beach Club is cheap for drinks although toilets were not very clean. At the side of the beach club there's a great eating place/kebab type restaurant - great for snacks and good value for money.
We didn't find the PR people or shop owners as pushy as we thought they might be. They were all friendly and just enjoyed the banter and we think it has improved since the last time we were in Turkey when they were literally trying to drag you into their bars/restaurants/shops.
Finally, I recommend if you fancy a bit of pampering try The Beauty Box next door to The Red Dragon - I had a manicure and pedicure - it was lovely and ever so cheap compared to UK prices.

Gumbet is not a pretty place and even walking to the beach or going for an evening meal, or a quiet stroll, you get hassled. It is a very stressful place with no peace. Going shopping, I didn't mind at all getting hassled, as that is how to get the cheapest price! It was quite hilarious that everyone from 6 to 60 picked up the same phrases "Ow Much?" The catching your hand "Hello, where you from, I've got a friend from there....." inoffensive smoothe talk. All really good fun. They also very kindly offer apple tea if they like you.
Bins are non-existent but the shops and streets are scrupulously clean. The sea unfortunately, is full of floating raw sewage, sanitary towels and condoms, the boats discharge their waste before people embark for the daytrips. You swim behind the roped off area so that the speedboats don't kill you! Because the black sand is so full of oil, you don't sit on it but then if you sit on a sunbed, you get continual hassle to buy drinks. If you refuse, you get thrown off. You were also hassled by the watersports and daytrips men.
If I ever go to Turkey again, it will be in a less polluted part.
