Hi, Sean. Haven't stayed at the Sirca, but I am sure you will love Bitez. The people are lovely and friendly (as they are all over Turkey) and the beach is great. Loads of shopping in Bodrum, or try the market at Turgetreis, and bars galore in Gumbet. You will find some really good restaurants in Bitez to suit all tastes and budgets.
Have a great time - we will be back there in September and I can't wait.

thanks Briar for the link and thanks Prawn for the info
