Overlooking a sea of swaying masts in the harbor that's across the street, the upper-middle-range Marina Vista Bodrum offers the kind of setting that appeals to couples and tourists looking to be close to dining and nightlife along the city's seafront promenade. The 92 country-modern rooms feature elegant pastel decor and rainfall showers, though few have views of the waterfront. It has its own trendy cafe and bar with an outdoor patio in front -- it's popular with everyone in town -- along with a secluded courtyard garden that has a pool. On the rooftop, a second seasonal eatery has panoramic views of the marina and the hotel's free breakfast is served here in season. There aren't many competitors along the marina, but the nearby Azka Otel has direct beach access.

One of the larger hotels in the city center, the upper-middle-range Mandarin Resort appeals to a wide range of tourists with its affordable all-inclusive rates. Though it doesn't offer evening entertainment and its nightclub is a snore, many of the late-night bars that Bodrum City is known for are within walking distance. The pleasantly modern guest rooms have balconies and rainfall showers, but don't expect sea views from here. The resort includes a big outdoor pool and a kids' pool, as well as an indoor pool and a full-service spa with a moody hammam. A kids' club and an outdoor playground add perks for families, but guests might want to check out the Ersan Resort & Spa just outside the city center for more amenities -- though rates are higher.

The upscale Labranda TMT Bodrum is a sprawling, family-geared resort with 329 rooms, multiple pools, waterslides, and all-inclusive drinking, dining, and entertainment. Its tiny private beach borders the Aegean Sea, where decked loungers enhance the vacation feel, though travelers here are still near Bodrum. Renovated in 2015, beachy interiors are serene, bright, and contemporary. Comfortable rooms have kettles, flat-screen TV, and minibars, plus furnished outdoor spaces, but some units are across the street. Summer crowds are to be expected, and offerings are less-plentiful outside peak season, but the place is well-maintained and attractive. Quiet-seeking couples may prefer the downtown Marina Bodrum Vista.

The 18-room Hotel Gulec is a no-frills value property located in Bodrum's center that attracts budget travelers seeking affordable rates and close proximity to restaurants, shops, and tourist sites. Amenities are limited in this small hotel, but there is a lovely garden courtyard where a free breakfast is served. Guest rooms are spartan -- they're little more than bare spaces with beds and bathrooms, lacking TVs, mini-fridges, or coffeemakers -- but they're well-maintained and air-conditioned. The nearby Istankoy Hotel is more modern and has a pool, but rates are more expensive.

Located on Bodrum’s nicest beach, the family-friendly, upscale Azka Otel offers panoramic Mediterranean Sea views. While not as luxurious as it claims to be, this resort ticks all the boxes for a relaxing vacation in the sun, with a large pool with views, a kids’ club, and a spa offering a wide array of treatments. The main restaurant serves a quality buffet for breakfast and dinner, and lunch is served by the pool or at the beach bar. Its 197 rooms are clean and spacious, with free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, rain showers, and balconies (many with unobstructed sea views). Decor, however, is a little bland in most rooms, and coffeemakers are not provided in any room type. Families seeking something a little cheaper but still near the beach may want to consider the neighboring Dolce Bodrum Hotel.

Voyage Bodrum is an upscale all-inclusive property located on Bardakci Bay about 10 minutes from the city center. Along with a private beach, the hotel offers a large outdoor pool overlooking the sea. A buffet restaurant serves all meals, while the a la carte restaurant serves international cuisine. The property also has three bars and a patisserie. The 150 guest rooms are modern and bright and have minibars, flat-screen TVs, and some sea-view balconies. The property is situated on an incline, so guests with mobility issues might find this an inconvenience -- there are elevators. The adult-only property offers better service than many other nearby properties, but rates also tend to be higher. Swissotel Resort Bodrum Beach allows children and has similar rates and features, but is farther away from the city center.

The 395-room Ersan Resort & Spa is a sprawling self-contained property located in a quiet waterfront area a 10-minute drive from Bodrum. It has all the amenities expected of an upscale family-friendly all-inclusive, from several pools and an array of dining and drinking options, to a spa and a kids’ club. Additionally, the Ersan features a number of extra perks that make it an especially appealing option in this area, including an adult-only infinity pool, a lovely wooden deck with direct access to the sea, a small water park, and an on-site diving center. Clean rooms have flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges with water and juice, and safes, but the earth tone palette is a little bland, and Wi-Fi doesn’t reach most units. In this price range, La Blanche Island offers a similar experience, but it is about a half-hour drive from Bodrum City (though its scenic peninsula location is part of the draw for many).

The 96-room Grand Yazici Bodrum is a sophisticated luxury boutique with sleek contemporary decor tucked away on the hills of Bodrum. The highlight at this design-conscious property is its beautiful infinity pool, complete with panoramic city and sea views and wonderful cabanas and loungers. The spa is another top selling point, with indoor and outdoor pools, signature massages, and a well-equipped fitness center. Rooms have parquet floors, small balconies, free Wi-Fi, and appealing bathrooms. Standard rooms, however, lack coffeemakers. The location a 10-minute drive from the city center and the beach may not be convenient to some, but the hotel runs a free shuttle service to its beachfront sister property, the Grand Yazici Torba. Unlike many other properties in the area, the Grand Yazici Bodrum is not all-inclusive, though there are optional full-board rates. For those who can't afford the uber-luxurious Macakizi Hotel Bodrum, this is a more affordable alternative.

The 252-room Bodrum Bay Resort is an adult-only upper-middle-range hotel located in a secluded beachfront area a short drive from both central Bodrum and Gumbet. This all-inclusive’s two best selling points are the stunning panoramic views that can be had from common spaces and many rooms, and the lovely beach deck with loungers, wicker umbrellas, and a bar. Along with a spa and a fitness center, the hotel has a large pool overlooking the Aegean, and its entertainment team offers daily activities around the pool and by the beach. Food gets good reviews, but drinks at the a la carte restaurant are extra. Rooms have mini-fridges and small flat-screen TVs, though Wi-Fi doesn’t reach many units. Families looking to stay closer to Gumbet may want to consider Parkim Ayaz Hotel, which has a sandy beach and a small water park with slides.
