The resort was pleasant, and had a good atmosphere. It had a variety of bars, restaurants and shops. Turkey in general is very good value for money. I would have no worries about visiting this resort for a second time. I loved every minute!!

Beach near hotel not that good, nicer beach in nearby Bitez. Dolmus stop is right outside Simba hotel, and only costs about 50p to get to Bodrum. Loads of shops - be prepared to haggle for bargains. Good restaurants nearby - Windy Bay and Mistral offer free wine with meal and their steaks are phenomenal! Both have a park to keep kids occupied while you eat. Also Cafe de Columbia is excellent. See Sandy on the beach front for boat trips, £8 each and under 12's free and the boat only takes about 15 people so you can spread out. She also gives advice about other excursions.

Gumbet is just Blackpool in the sun, with lots of very annoying people trying to get you into their bars and restaurants.
The beach is very busy but the watersports are very good.

Shop keepers take pride in their shops and there is no litter lying about.
Lovely long clean beach with multitudes of restaurants to eat or sit and have long cool drinks and people watch.
Gumbet is build on the side of a hill and it could be a struggle for people getting about if they have health problems.

The resort is quite lively with Bar Street running right through the middle of it, where the beer is very cheap. There are an abundance of restaurants that serve up fantastic food for all kinds of tastes at very low prices. It's quite common to have several different menu's in restaurants Turkish, Chinese, Indian, Italian, Steaks etc.
There isn't a great deal to do in this resort apart from water sports on the beach and boat trips. The beach itself, it has to be said, is diabolical - if we had one of those at home and called it a beach we'd be done under the Trades Descriptions Act. It was very grubby, full of rock and shingle and the water was not at all clear - yuck!!
I wouldn’t go back because there isn’t much to do in resort and the state of the beach is just too bad. The Turkish people were fantastic; they were funny, good-natured and very pleasant company it’s just a shame the resort let them down.

Gumbet itself has an excellent location for all types unless you want a typically Turkish holiday.
I would recommend the boat trip, which is available almost anywhere in the resort; this includes a meal on the boat, which was enjoyable. If your trip takes you to Camel Beach don’t bother with the camel ride as it cost 10 million TL for about a 2-minute ride.
Probably one of the best trips was to the aqua park at Ortakent, it cost us £7 each including being picked and dropped off at our hotel reception and entrance to the park. There are around 20 slides ranging from those for children to the kamikaze (take a spare pair of shorts if you go on the kamikaze!!!) there is also a wave pool, which operates every 30 minutes. On entering the park everyone is issued with security locker key at no extra cost. There is a card system in operation in which you can add money to buy food and drink in the park (no money is exchanged for anything), this was very handy as you don’t have to worry about getting your money wet. At the end of the day any money left on the card is refunded.
Another good night out has to be the Dreamgirls, which cost £16 and includes your first drink and a meal. This is quite blue if you go on a night, which is for adults only and is not suitable for children and those easily offended. Children can see the show on certain nights but take care which night you book for.
The resort caters for all age groups, there are fast food restaurants, al la carte, Chinese, Indian, Italian, Mexican and Turkish. There are bars of all types and clubs, which open until about 6.00am.
For those who want to watch UK TV you can always find somewhere, which will be showing your favourite program, whether it’s a soap or football. Some of our party managed to watch the Big Brother final.

One of the most cleanest beaches we have ever seen, pitty there was no sand as the kids would have enjoyed it more, but there are plenty of other things to do.

Gumbet is good for everyone, it has enough shops for souvenirs, it has a bar street for the younger people and the restaurants are all international ranging from traditional Turkish food to Italian and Mexican.

Gumbet was very lively on an evening, but we stayed a short walk from the main town so if we wanted to avoid the noise we could. The local men do pester you a bit but if you tell them to leave you alone they do. The beach was fab with free sunbeds, food good and bars, watersports and hammocks if you can get in them. Bodrum Market was good but you have to watch your bags also if you go on a boat trip watch out drinks are expensive and on many you can't take your own.
If you like good music and a good atmosphere visit the xbar. Also the staff in the shops are very helpful, one night one of us fell and cut ourselves quite badly, the nearest shop cleaned the wound and made sure we were ok before we left.

I thought Gumbet was great for shopping. I bought lots of clothes and bags. It was very clean but the beaches were very stoney, although some parts of the beach were quite dirty.
