“Found in Paradise”

Dec 18, 2025Explore34645163421

This was my second stay at Salt of Palmar, and once again it exceeded my expectations. The hotel is consistently charming, beautifully situated in a peninsula-like setting, and perfectly sized for an intimate boutique experience. Any minor issues we encountered were promptly and professionally handled by the manager and team. A great bonus is the kitesurf school within walking distance from the hotel. Salt will always be my favorite hotel on the east coast.

“Wonderful Hotel!”

Dec 17, 2025Experience518214

Stunning vistas as you walk through the front door! Situated on the east coast, on a wind free day you can snorkel and sea swim in clear blue sea. The pool is long enough to swim lengths. There are sunbeds by the pool and on the beach. Towels provided. The garden is well maintained with hammocks, pétanque, chess available. We stayed in a ‘bang on the beach’ room which had lovely sea views, good air conditioning, shower and very comfortable bed. Not much around the hotel so either you need to plan trips or accept you are going to spend a relaxing chilled holiday, in or around the hotel. Plenty of water provided in the room and by the pool. We were all inclusive and were really pleased with it. No buffets, everything is cooked to order from a smallish menu. The varied breakfast and nice strong coffee were a good start to the day. Vegan banana cake was the best along with the tofu curry! Curries were authentic. Staff in the bar and restaurants were polite and friendly. There were some young, junior staff who worked really hard and were a credit to the hotel. Most branded alcohol included in AI. Devlin made the best cocktails! Activities including snorkelling, yoga, glass bottom boat trip, fitness classes all included and displayed on the wall near the breakfast room. Spa was recommended by other guests but we didn’t try. Worth looking around to compare prices but we thought at the price point it offered good value. Like anywhere there are hotels at double the price offering much more but we were very happy staying here and would definitely recommend.

“A fantastic place to stay”

Dec 17, 202590nottingham1

Wow! What a fantastic hotel. We stayed 10 nights and enjoyed every moment at the serene hotel. The front reception staff were super friendly helping arrange local visits. The restaurant team; Managers, Exec Chef, Chefs and all the waiters couldn’t do enough to make things perfect. The food was excellent and we strongly recommend the “Tek Tek” tasting experience where one of the chefs cooks specialist dishes from local producers in front of you. We want to especially mention Heeroo who looked after everyone on the beach from cleaning sunglasses to bringing food, to providing local advice. A real star! Rewa and Nevin in the restaurant were also super friendly and added that extra touch to the stay. The quality service extended to the cleaning staff who were so friendly and truly professional. We’d also recommend Chris and his 5 island tour. We had a wonderful day in a speedboat and saw dolphins, sea turtles and did some great snorkelling. Overall this is somewhere we will come back to again. Chris and Louise From Nottingham, England
