Magnific Hotel

Gumbet is a good resort if you like loud music, bars, a bit of shopping and people bothering you to go into their shop/restaurant - 24/7.
We preferred the pace of Bodrum, it seemed nicer, although it has no beach... but Gumbet’s beach is very small anyway!
The hotel itself was lovely. The grounds were beautiful and the pool stunning. The rooms were basic, but adequate enough for the week.
We were half board, which I would recommend. The food was pretty basic, but then I was fussy. The rest of the family thought it was quite nice. There was plenty of selection, and looking back, a much cheaper option than eating out every night, which could get very expensive.
The MAJOR gripe of the holiday was the pool bar music. Every night (I’m not kidding), the music was playing till about 3 or 4am. It started at about 1pm in the afternoon, making relaxing by the pool albeit impossible, and carried on until the wee hours of the morning. Also, don’t buy any food or drink from the Hotel as the prices were very dear!
You couldn’t keep your window open in your room as you wouldn’t be able to sleep, but then it was too hot to keep it open, unless you had a/c.
Actually a tip about the a/c. You can lift off the front cover and hit the overriding switch to on and have free a/c for your entire holiday without paying for it... same with the safe, there is an override button at the back of it - just a wee tip!
Thompson were fine. We left and landed on time both ways, and the trip in general was good. No room on the plane though, but that’s expected.
DO NOT BUY anything at the airport as 2 bottles of coke will cost about £8. It is an absolute rip off.
Don’t book with Thompson for the trips, go into the town and you often get the Turkish bath and the market trips free if you book something else. They are much cheaper.
We complained about the music several times to no avail, the bar manager said we were lying and that it wasn’t loud after 12pm at night, but that was a lie. We were thoroughly sick of it by the end, and we spoke to numerous people who felt the same. We didn’t even see our rep at all to complain to them.
I would never go back to this hotel as it made relaxing almost impossible. I don’t recommend it to anyone other than those after an 18-30 holiday!!!
