“Really cool hotel”

Rating: Really cool hotelJan 20, 2025769jg

Just returned from salt palmer… really good hotel, has a real boutique feel to the place, loved the bright colours that are around the hotel. Food is fantastic well cooked and nothing is too much to ask !!! Had a massage again brilliant!!! But the best thing about the hotel is the staff… to many to mention but all staff are a credit to the hotel !!! The only down side was price of drinks… £9 for a beer !!! However the local beer is lovely !!!

The rooms are outstanding, clean and beautifully designed with a creative and colorful decor- every detail is a mirror of the brautifull beach and sea scape. The amazing team from the watersport booth makes you happy al the time. Outstanding captian of the boot tour, he stopped for a turtle under the boat to show us this beautifull animal. The SPA is also woth highlighting - Juliana works here like magic, she is providing ultimate relaxation. Any wishes or thought, the receptions is available 24 hours with a smiling for the guest. Sandiana greets you with a smile and if you have any comments or question she will help you and support you -

“The most idyllic incredible Hotel on the island of Mauritius ❤️”

Rating: The most idyllic incredible Hotel on the island of Mauritius ❤️Jan 14, 2025Rebecca F

Incredible Hotel! From the moment myself and my husband arrived at Salt of Palmar we were made to feel so welcome. From the welcome drinks and cold towels upon arrival nothing was too much trouble. I really have no words for how wonderful this hotel is, the architecture and positioning on the Island is just perfect. The staff are attentive and friendly and dining here has been an absolute pleasure. The food is first class, freshly prepared to order and I must say is exceptional! I would very much like to mention some of the staff who have made our stay perfect, Med one of the managers was always so helpful and welcoming. Vish made the best coffee every morning. Sanjay always served us with a huge smile along with Rewa and Regiv and lastly Bhishev you have all made us feel so relaxed and we have had the most incredible time. We are moving on to Australia next but are already planning our return trip here! Thank you to all the staff here for helping us to make amazing memories!

“Super relaxing hotel with fantastic staff and chefs, you won’t be disappointed”

One of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed at. Super relaxing atmosphere, very attentive staff, in particular the staff I would like to mention are Bishau, Sanjay, Vish, Med, Rewa and Rejiv who are an absolute credit to the hotel. Top quality food, always very freshly prepared and it certainly showed. I have had the best time here, feeling super relaxed. There was always lots of available sun beds by the pool if you don’t want to go to the pristine white beach. What is not to like. We will definitely be back.
