TL;DR
Based on traveler feedback, spa services and goods near Bodrum hotels are often priced similarly to the hotel, so major savings are unlikely. At an all-inclusive resort, shopping tends to be the main unpredictable extra expense.
Wellness and Spa near the hotel was reported to have prices roughly matching hotel rates. In the immediate Bodrum resort area, travelers found that services and goods often stay within a similar price range rather than becoming significantly cheaper.
For all-inclusive guests, shopping can be the only major extra expense: food and drinks are already covered, while retail spending depends entirely on personal plans and can quickly exceed a budget.
A budget of 100 per person per day may make sense on excursion days, but it is not necessarily needed every day when staying all-inclusive and avoiding purchases. Keep a separate flexible allowance for shopping.
