Gumbet is a fairly small resort compared to Bodrum.
However travelling in a group of 4 20 - 30 year olds this holiday was ideal. Lots of pubs and free nightclubs open till late, loads of nice eating places. Highly recommend Planet yucca !!!!!!!! Local turkish bar - Kenny and Captain Birdseyes bistro - fab people- Kenny, Captain and Tic Tac. These guys made us feel so welcome. Kenny also organises a boat trip - around £6 for the whole day including lunch - fabby !!!!!!!
Having never been to Turkey before, I would highly consider going here again before other places such as Tenerife etc. I felt really at home here.
In addition to this no cockroaches were spotted the whole time we were there. We stayed in Ugur hotel- pretty basic although no major complaints !!!!!!!!!!!

The resort of Gumbet is highly developed however reasonably clean for such a lively destination. The nightlife is fantastic, once you tire of Gumbet's Bar Street (if that is possible) you are simply a short bus journey away from the pubs and clubs of Bodrum. I recommend a night out on the Club Bodrum catamaran - expensive but worth it!Entertainment for all ages - the young and the old. The beach was nice, lovely clear water for swimming. Fuad, the beach boy kept us entertained for the week!Loads of watersports available also. The only downside is the pushy shop keepers and restaraunteers. However, a firm no thank you is usually enough. Altogether a fantastic all round holiday resort.

Shopped a lot in Bodrum, a better selection but not always cheaper than Gumbet. September is a good time for bargains, as Gumbet virtually becomes a ghost town from October onwards as shops close down so there are some excellent bargains to be had but be prepared to haggle. They’re desperate to get rid of their stock and as you walk off down the street the price comes down dramatically.
We re-visited Turgutreis and the Saturday market, which is a good day out. Turgutreis is lovely. The new marina is very impressive. If you do this outing as a trip you will be taken back via Bodrum Gold centre and some very hard selling. Knowing this from experience we did the trip under our own steam. Trips are definitely cheaper booked in town than through the rep. but you don’t always get the quality of transport that you are promised. We hired a driver and mini-bus for £85 to take us round all the towns on the Bodrum Peninsula. The brand new 14-seater air con bus we were promised turned out to be an ancient 7 seater Mercedes with lots of loose bits, many cracks on windscreen and the only air con was the windows!! But it was a laugh.
Prefer to eat in Bodrum, as the hassle in the evening in Gumbet is tiring. Although there are plenty of good places to eat and drink. Visited Oasis shopping centre, which has some excellent restaurants with authentic menus. Had 2 lovely meals at the Sofram restaurant, the locals eat there which is a good recommendation.

Second time in Gumbet - last visited 6 years ago - WOW!- has this place grown! It really is a great resort with something for everyone. Try and be patient with the Turks who try to badger you into their shop/bar/resturant - 90% know the score and aren't offended, but there are some real pieces of work as well - particularly if you are a young female (even if you are in a group, or with a bloke!)
Overall - go for Gumbet next year - you'll love it!

Having been to Marmaris many times I found Gumbet to be cheap and tacky, some of the shop keepers very rude having been called a white bitch when we did not purchase anything.
The food was lovely and we could not complain of any of the restaurants as everyone of them were nice and friendly and went out of their way to help you.
There was 22 of us all together on this trip 5 of us in the Jasmine Beach and the rest in the Seasta Beach, most having been to Marmaris at some time and most saying they would prefer to go back to Marmaris.
Would I go back to Gumbet!!!!! NO

Gumbet as a whole was the best holiday I've ever had! Not only was everyone friendly, every club/bar/restaurant was perfect for us and we did what we wanted when we wanted. E.g dancing on the bar in Beach club at 5am! Woohoo!
Anyone looking to have a fab holiday, go here! You won't find a better place!
P.s You must visit Smiley's restaurant - wicked!
