The 127-room Summer Garden Apart Hotel is a lower-middle-range property just a couple minutes' walk from a beach, offering both Standard Rooms and apartments with bare-bones kitchenettes. The hotel is built around two outdoor pools and a tiny kids' pool with a waterslide, but there are no organized activities; this is not a resort where guests are tempted to hang around all day. Though there are also a restaurant, pool bar, and cafe surrounded by pretty gardens for those that do. Additionally, the small spa and salon offers massages and beauty services, plus a sauna and steam room. Rooms are small and extremely plain, equipped with narrow balconies and tiny bathrooms, and air-conditioning incurs a fee (and many guests complain that it's inefficient). Guests willing to pay higher rates for more modern, attractive rooms should check out the Ambrosia Hotel.

The 99-room Ambrosia is a laid-back upper-middle-range hotel with a beachfront setting that makes for great sea views. Although it features a couple of kid-friendly amenities, the hotel draws mostly young couples and groups of friends with its large pool with teak loungers and music, a lovely beach with a bar, and an overall casual vibe. Spacious, sunny rooms are decorated in a simple contemporary style, and feature free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and balconies, some with Aegean Sea views. The hotel’s location is great for those seeking some peace and quiet, but travelers looking to stay closer to Gumbet's nightlife may want to consider Magnific Hotel, located right in the heart of the party scene.

The 92-room Doria Hotel Bodrum is a chic, upscale property perched at the top of a hill overlooking Bitez Bay in the Bodrum Peninsula. The rooms have serene, blue-accented decor, iPod docks, and minibars, and most also offer superb sea views from balconies. The two spacious outdoor pools provide a peaceful setting to enjoy stunning panoramas, and a spa offers an indoor pool and Turkish bath. A shuttle service also ferries guests to a private beach club. All in all, it's a great choice for couples looking for quiet and stylish surrounds; similar rates with more child-friendly facilities can be found at the nearby Royal Arena Resort & Spa, though it lacks the Doria's impressive views.

The 129-room Ramada Resort Bodrum is a luxury hotel with a quiet atmosphere and a strong Mediterranean feel. Located on a hillside in Bitez, it capitalizes on its lovely surroundings, with serene outdoors that include a large pool with panoramic views, and several dining options with spacious decks. Along with tennis and squash courts, the hotel offers a fully equipped fitness center with spin and Pilates studios, and a wonderful spa complete with an indoor pool, massages, and a sauna. Although somewhat generic in style, rooms are clean and light, with large windows -- in most offering panoramic valley and sea views -- and great amenities such as free Wi-Fi, LCD TVs, coffeemakers, and minibars. The hotel offers free shuttle service to a private beach club, but the location a 10-minute drive from the city center may not be convenient to some. In this price range, the Grand Yazici Bodrum is a comparable option; its rooms are a touch more stylish and have balconies, but lack coffeemakers.
