This hotel is sooo beautiful in the most perfect location for east coast. Such good value for money for how beautiful the setting is. I loved the ocean view room and the big white bed that faced the sea - lovely touches around the hotel like free sparkling water tap, sun cream and the staff were so attentive and nothing was a problem!

- When they call the room the "Bang on Beach" room, they're not kidding. The room is in a fantastic position with amazing views and sounds of the private beach. - During our time there we witnessed a wedding on the beach and influencers in the wild. Being an adult-only resort, it was a peaceful and relaxed crowd. - The inside of the room itself is well-designed and spacious enough for our needs. - I liked that there was no TV. I didn't use the fancy radio and can't think of why anyone would. - The hotel is designed to be sustainable while still being luxurious. So you'll find that instead of a buffet, you choose 2 options for breakfast for example. This I can assume drastically reduces their wastage but also allows them the time to have chef-prepared meals for their guests. - All the restaurant staff were excellent and I'd like to particularly commend Sanjay, Dharam and Bool for their excellent friendly service.

The cons are really just constructive criticism that I think would be easy for SALT to remedy: - The pillows are your standard terrible hotel pillows that offer zero support. I don't know why most hotels have them. - The resort doesn't do a great job telling you about all their facilities and activities. I had no idea that the kayaking, and other water activities were on offer directly from the resort, let alone that they were free. - For some reason this hotel doesn't have a reception desk. Instead they have staff waiting near the entrance and assisting guests via tablets. It sounds like a great idea in theory but I think they lose something by not having a physical reception desk.

Size of the hotel, cleanliness, pool, beach access, restaurant.

The serving staff could be a bit more hospitable. They are polite but not genuine.

My room - Bang on the Beach - literally looked out on the to the beautiful beach and ocean. The name lived up to its promise. The beach was clean and lovely, and the staff raked it every morning and cleared any seaweed that may have washed up. The pool was beautiful and staff were very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were pretty soundproof, and even though I was close to the entertainment, I could not hear it once I was in my room.

It's not really a complaint, just the nature of how the dining worked... meals were a-la-carte which meant that there was a bit of a wait (not long) to get your meals. This was only slightly problematic in the morning when we had to wait for our first cup of coffee :) If you're used to the buffet style dining that a lot of other hotel's and resorts have this might be a bit of an adjustment.

The location was ideal to access the beach area near camps bay. Safe and beautiful.

Not really a dislike but the bed was a bit stiff in our rooms. If they used a mattress topper it would help.

Everything! We loved Salt and would highly recommend! The hotel itself is fresh and attractive with bright colours, modern design and plenty of light and space. The hotel beach was beautiful and sun beds were always available. Rooms were very clean, comfortable and cool. The staff were friendly and helpful. We were all inclusive and the food and drinks were all fantastic with loads of choice on the menu, including plenty of Mauritian specialities (much more preferable to a buffet style). The Spa was amazing, the best massage I’ve ever had! Overall a fabulous experience and cannot recommend this hotel enough!

Nothing

Fabulously stylish yet unpretentious, with a great array of food and drink (the coffee and seafood especially). The pool is brilliant, it’s right on a lovely beach, with good enough water sports. Rooms are spacious, modern and airy. The staff were fantastic - friendly, helpful and welcoming without being too overfamiliar. Hitika, Sanjay and others were brilliant.

If you don’t do all inclusive, the price can add up very quickly and some of the food is expensive for what it is. I’d strongly recommend doing all inclusive.

This hotel is super well designed, comfortable, laid back, friendly, warm and extremely well appointed. Everything was thought of from a bag to carry your beach stuff around, to aloe Vera gel for sunburn, to a special spacious bathroom for getting showered and ready when checking in or out. I was super impressed by how happy and friendly all the staff were. This is not a flashy hotel but I enjoyed it better than some very expensive places due to the ambience and ease of everything. The staff run by the lovely Med all knew us personally and made sure we were happy.

Nothing negative to report other than occasional slow service which is a global problem right now.

Very nice location, beach is very quiet and the water shallow, so if you dont know how to swim and still want to get wet - this is the place for you :) hotel itself is clean and the staff is VERY kind and helpful - during my other travels I've never meet such a nice personel anywhere else (thank you guys for the swimming lessons and almond cake recipe!).

So its not really a negative - at least not for everyone. The only thing that we didn't personally like is that the menu in the restaurant is "too fancy" - at least for us :). its nice to eat stuff like that once in a while, but if you are staying for longer periods of time, you will start to miss some classics. I've heard tho that you can pre order custom dishes if you want - so thats an option too.

I had amazing time at Salt of Palmar 😊 From great location at the nicest part of the beach, delightful design, relaxing vibe to delicious food and drinks. Five star experience, yet the atmosphere is far from snobbish. Big thanks to most helpful and kind staff 😊

I could have booked a longer stay 😉 Two weeks passed in a blink of an eye.
