I couldn’t fault the Salt of Palmar Hotel. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent quality and cooked to order. I would recommend the all inclusive option as not so many other options nearby. Very good coffee also. The location is on the East coast, so a bit windier. We took a few snorkelling trips on the hotel’s boat, which was amazing. We stayed 2 weeks and took some days out to tour the island, lots of trips/tours available. The room looked directly out onto the Ocean with waves breaking on the reef. Quiet surroundings and very safe environment. Would 100 % recommend

Lost count of how many times we’ve stayed at Salt of Palmar on our visits to Mauritius now. Perfect adult only boutique hotel with beautiful beachfront. The staff and service are just brilliant. They were so helpful. Shout out to the Chef Siva for his kindness to provide some locally made herbal tea for when we were unwell. We’ll be back :)

The Salt of Palmer can be a decent hotel with a few changes. The overall feeling is warm and inviting. The biggest areas of improvement include the attentiveness of staff, the smell of the rooms, and the dining options. The staff will not attend to you unless you specifically ask them. An example would be sitting in the dining area for 30 minutes as they all walk past and do not ask to take your order. If you are sensitive to smells, you must know that the rooms smell like mildew. Given that the hotel is on the beach, I expected there to be some sort of smell, but the smell was a bit overwhelming for me. The menu is rather limited and for certain hours of the day (2 pm-7 pm) you are only able to order from approximately three appetizers.

Lovely rooms , real ground coffee in the room ! Felt safe , lovely little touches around the property. If you don’t have a car you might be a bit limited but taxis are available. Plenty of parking at the hotel and car park outside. Breakfast was really good ,

The food was pretty decent aside from getting Food poisoning and (separately) finding frozen meat in my meal. Awkward check-in experience. Service was very average. All-inclusive was quite limited.

We travelled from Australia and stayed at this beautiful hotel in Mauritius, let me tell you hands down this is one of the best hotels I have been to with breathtaking sea views, private beach, beautifully unique designed hotel and best five star in class service. From the moment we arrived we were welcomed with a friendly smile. All the staff were very helpful and the food was absolutely delicious. Thank you to the reception staff and management for helping us plan our days accordingly to what we liked. Thank you to security at the front of the hotel for your exceptional service and friendly smiles each day. Thank you to the hotel staff for ensuring our room was clean and tidy to perfection each day. There is one highlight that we will never forget which is the dine in at the Tek Tek restaurant with our own private chef. The six course menu was inspired by the islands rich culture and let me tell you the food was on another level with the combination of flavours the dishes were perfection. Each dish was made with love from the Chef. Thank you Chef Shiva and Helper Karan for the most wonderful night and dine in experience you both made our experience staying at Mauritius incredible. We hope to see you both again soon. If you would like a luxurious stay I definitely recommend staying at this hotel. 🙂

Exceptional all-adults boutique hotel located perfectly on the quiet, relaxing East coast of beautiful Mauritius island. I had the pleasure of enjoying 5 nights in the “Best on Beach” room category complete with outdoor terrace with sun bed and a separate balcony overlooking the majestic Indian Ocean. As a vegan, the chefs and culinary team curated delicious vegan meals that far exceeded my expectations. Every meal was flavorful, unique, healthy, and prepared with fresh, quality locally sourced ingredients. There is a garden on-site where many of the ingredients come from to create the amazing meals. The staff here is simply wonderful. Shout out to Disha, Vinesh, Rajiv, Devin, Naresh, Shib, Navin, Mayur, Rajritik, Hanshi, Krishna, Raju, Kenny, Sarah, and Isabelle. Their genuine warmth, hospitality, and kindness made my solo getaway a very special and memorable experience to cherish for a lifetime. Highly recommend the beautiful SALT of Palmar all-adults boutique hotel.

The staff was amazing. The only reason why I said 4 star was because the food was a little overpriced. However, the chef for the closed dinner food was excellent. Would recommend.

This hotel is stunning. You can see for yourself from the pictures. The colours are bright and bold, the staff are friendly and attentive, and the attention to detail is unlike any other. The boat house (which is part of the hotel) offers free pedalo, kayak and glass boat rides. I’m also sure I saw bicycles outside the front which I imagine are free to use for hotel guests. There are other goings on for guests to join in on too, you just need to look at the billboard near the entrance to find something you might like. The hotel also offers free water refill which I think is a big plus. Where this loses a star for me is the food. The food was one of the big reasons we chose to stay here. I expected so much more than what I got - one because the reviews raved about it, and two because it comes at a pretty high price! The açai bowl and savoury crumpet we ordered at breakfast were small portioned and bland. Lunch the day before was no different. The only redeeming dish was the chicken curry at dinner. Regardless, we did enjoy our stay here.

Paradise Found: Salt of Palmar hotel. Right on the pristine shores of the beach this hotel offers an idyllic escape for those seeking sun, sand, and serenity. From the moment you arrive, you're enveloped in an atmosphere of warm hospitality and laid-back luxury. Accommodation: The rooms are more than just places to sleep; they're private oases designed with comfort and style in mind. I stayed in a bang on the beach room with a breathtaking ocean view. The room was spacious, impeccably clean, and featured modern amenities like a plush bed and a private balcony. Dining: Food lovers will rejoice at diverse culinary offerings. Amenities: Beyond the beautiful beach, the hotel offers a range of amenities to enhance your stay. The sparkling infinity pool was the perfect place to cool off after a day in the sun, and the on-site spa provided rejuvenating treatments that leaves you feeling pampered and refreshed. For the more active guests, there was a well-equipped fitness center and various water sports activities available. Service: What truly sets the hotel apart is its exceptional service. The staff members were consistently friendly, attentive, and eager to assist with any request. From reception to the housekeeping team, everyone went above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay. Overall: My stay at the Salt of Palmar was extraordinary. It's the perfect destination for those seeking a luxurious beach vacation with top-notch amenities & delectable dining,

Very beautiful and stylish hotel, every detail well thought, clean rooms and all hotel areas well maintained. Lovely snorkelling near by, and best breakfast on the island indeed! Unfortunately we have experienced some building noises right next to the pool (they were building another restaurant during open hours?) which really disturbed our time near the pool, as well as the halls were painted at the same time limiting access to the rooms. Staff in the restaurant could benefit with some extra training and self care. Several times bodily odour could be smelled from staff at the restaurant, also orders/requests have been forgotten or wrong items brought upon ordering (eg i’ve been brought black tea twice in a row, even though I ordered herbal as can’t take caffeinated drinks). Overall we really enjoyed our stay, but sadly, inconvenient times for the building improvements and undertrained staff did not fully created a 5 star hotel experience for us.

The hotel is lovely with a great view of a beautiful beach and lots of nice little touches like water stations with cups so no single use plastics. Also the food is good and never a buffet. The spa is good too for a resort of this size - Sarah was amazing. Rooftop bar and a decent gym are all really nice (though I wish the roof was open during the day). Things that need fixing - the rooms weren't always really well cleaned. And the beds on the beach have seen better days. Both quite minor annoyances. The biggest issue I had was that no one addressed the rampant and annoying bad behaviour of 1. People reserving beach beds that they weren't actually using and 2. The number of people listening to tik tok on phones without using headphones.
