On arrival at The Shalhan at 5am we were greeted so to speak to speak by 2 members of staff asleep on sofas in the reception area. The rep had to wake them up and this made us feel a little awkward.
We were shown our 2 bedroom apartment and all crashed for a couple of hours. When we awoke a couple of hours later we were all freezing. The beds were wet and the room was so damp, I couldnt stop shivering. The inside of the windows were wet through. We opened all the windows and gave it another night, however we could not get warm due to the damp. We informed the manager and were moved from the ground floor and given 2 apartments another level up, which were much warmer.
As we visited in the first week in May it felt like nothing was open or ready. The slides at the hotel were not open, the pool hadn't been cleaned, the pool bar wasn't stocked. The hotel bar wasn't stocked and they were short on many things. We chose to spend a lot of time away from the hotel due to this reason.
The sky TV wasn't connected along with the phone and internet. The rooms, although very old fashioned, were cleaned daily and the hotel staff, most who were jack of all trades, were very friendly and would do anything for you, especially the children. The owners children are often at the hotel until late at night and it is very family friendly.
We ate at the hotel twice in 14 days, the food was nice but we all fell ill the next day and so out of caution we didn't eat there again. This could have been down to something else though.
The hotel is very quiet at the beginning of May and there was no entertainment provided. In fact Hisaronu is not very good for younger children at night.
Hisaronu was also quiet at this time and many bars were not open in the first week so we wouldn't visit at this time again.

These apartments were well furnished, spacious & very clean. The dining was great, lots of choice and fabulous food. Staff were just wonderful, extremely friendly & helpful. Located in a quiet part in the mountains it was bliss but town was only a short trip away and easy to get to by foot, bus or taxi and Town was very lively for a change of pace. Bit of entertainment would have been nice but they do have it at their sister hotel The Grand Ucel which is only 2 minutes away on foot.

The Salhan Apartments are very old and this needs to be kept in mind. The Turkish standards differ greatly form ours and that has to be respected. It is run down and lacks attention to detail. With a small amount of money it could be 5 star. You get what you pay for! The apartments are very basic but ours was kept spotlessly clean by very friendly ladies. The staff were very helpful when thay could be, yes there is a language problem but then I am in their country and expect that! The location is second to none! We like to experience as much of the culture as possible. Close enough to whatever you want but far enough away to stay away if you did not want it. We are older more seasoned travelers and used to comfort but we came with our daughter and grandson of 7 and they cannot wait to go back! We will be booking shortley I hope!

We stayed in these apartments but we were supposed to have stayed in the Grand Ucel but they were not finished. These apartments are under the same ownership as the Grand Ucel.
They were really good one bed apartments. Plenty of room in them and well stocked with equipment, kettle, toaster etc. There are nice balconies overlooking the pool and the mountains. It was so peaceful there.
The restaurant was very good with a wide menu. Large sat tv in lounge with full sky. Bar area does need smartening up but its friendly and is comfortable. Pool was very clean as was the whole grounds. A play area for kids with slides and climbing frame and a separate pool with three water slides. There were loads of sunbeds available.
The staff were excellent and were very helpful. I lost my camera and they have just e-mailed me to say they had it. The dolmus stops outside so it is so easy to get into Olu Deniz or Hisaronu and Fethiye.
