The mid-range Parkim Ayaz Hotel is centrally located in Gumbet, close to plenty of nightlife and right on the beach. It's a solid combination of unpretentious atmosphere (and prices) with extensive facilities that include three pools, a climbing wall, and a waterslide. All-inclusive rates are attractive, especially given the numerous dining options that go beyond most standard, repetitive buffets. The 237 casual rooms feature inoffensive, if bland, decor plus tiny private balconies or patios that open to the pool or gardens. The rooms and common spaces are a bit dated, but they're clean and pleasant enough. It's worth comparing with the Royal Asarlik Beach, which has similar amenities along with a more modern look -- but rates are often more expensive.

The 40-room Hotel Centro Bodrum is a two-and-a-half-pearl property within walking distance of the center of Bodrum, yet far enough away that the setting is quiet and serene. This family-run hotel is cozy and clean, featuring a pretty outdoor pool and adjacent bar, as well as a restaurant that specializes in tasty Mexican food. Small guest rooms are simply furnished, and though some are fairly modern, others are dated and showing wear. Bathrooms with shower stalls are also tight on space and air-conditioning incurs a fee. Overall, it has affordable rates and a good location for exploring area sights, but travelers seeking a few more amenities may want to try the Mandarin Resort, which has multiple pools, a spa, and all-inclusive rates.
