Außergewöhnliches hervorragendes Frühstück am Tisch serviert (mit exzellentem Kaffee); ansprechendes Design und Hotelambiente; Traumstrand mit vielfältigen Liege- und Entspannungsmöglichkeiten innerhalb einer Minute vom Zimmer erreichbar; überaus freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal
Keine Minibar am Zimmer; Preise für Getränke sehr hoch

L’hôtel est bien designé et joliment décoré. L’emplacement est idéal, il dispose d’une sublime plage de sable fin.
La cuisine est magnifique et les plats sont succulents.
La literie est d’excellente qualité, probablement la meilleure de nos vacances.
Dernière étape de notre voyage sur l’île, cet hôtel nous a offert un aperçu de ce qui aurait pu être des vacances gâchées.
A notre arrivée, la chambre qui nous a été attribuée était dans un état de vétusté avancé et très sale. Elle disposait toutefois d’une vue parking à ravir.
Le coffre fort ne fonctionnait pas, il y avait de la moisissure dans la douche. Du sable par terre. Des toiles d’araignées sur les draps.
Elle n’était pas équipée d’un sèche cheveux.
Le changement de chambre nous a coûté deux heures, et l’établissement ne vous proposera aucune compensation.
La demi-pension est à un tarif exorbitant (dans les 160€ pour un petit déjeuner et un dîner pour deux).
Le menu n’est absolument pas expliqué et incompréhensible.
Nous avons eu le bonheur d’accompagner nos heures à la piscine par de bruits de travaux assourdissants. Ce séjour m’a rappelé qu’il me restait du bricolage à terminer chez moi.
Sous prétexte de conscience écologique, cet hôtel ne vous fournira aucun article de toilettes, vous n’aurez pas de télévision dans la chambre, la piscine ne sera pas chauffée et visiblement ils n’utilisent pas de produits ménagers.
L’hôtel ne dispose pas d’une réception, il faut passer par une application pour parler au personnel.
Le taux de change atteint des sommets.
Cet hôtel ne mérite clairement pas ses 5 étoiles, il est largement en dessous des hôtels dans lesquels nous avions séjourné.

Le confort de la chambre, la qualité du petit déjeuner, l'emplacement en bord de mer et quel mer, magnifique !
La règle concernant les transats inoccupés, très bonne initiative.
La possibilité de faire snorkeling, pédalo, paddle et kayac depuis l'hôtel et sans frais supplémentaire, un vrai plus !
Sans voiture on ne peut rien faire aux alentours.
Le tarif un peu trop élévé du restaurant.
Serveurs très très gentils mais parfois trop car être dérangé toute les 3minutes pour savoir si tout va bien ça fini par être agassant... On aime aussi avoir un moment à nous lorsque l'on mange.

Amazing little hotel, much cosier than the usual luxury resorts you may find in Mauritius without bargaining on quality. Hotel’s highlights include:
- an amazing breakfast with their own boulangerie producing hot croissants which are better than 90% of the croissants you may find in my hometown of Paris;
- very comfortable rooms and beds;
- very nice terrasse fully opened on the sea where you can watch the sunset with your feet in grass;
- white sand beach at your doorstep;
- never a feeling of being crowded.
The whole hotel intends to run on a green & renewable policy and most products are locally sourced.
Long story short: a must go.

Decent pool, nice bar and the beach outside was very pretty, staff were friendly and well trained.
Beds and pillows too soft for my preference.
No fridge in the room, no TV, which isn't clear when booking, both of which I expect as standard in a 5*. Filter coffee and black tea were provided free of charge, but no filters to make it. Food very expensive at restaurant, even for 5*.

Very relaxed environment. Excellent food. Fantastic spa treament.
Bit windy when we were there.

Das Zimmer war traumhaft. Wir hatten aus dem Bett Blick auf das Meer, direkt vor dem Fenster. Die Größe war völlig ausreichend und das Bad sehr komfortabel. Frühstück und Abendessen waren sehr gut. Es ist ein relativ kleines Hotel, aber genau das fanden wir toll. Das Personal war äußerst zuvorkommend und supernett. Der Strand war immer sauber und direkt am Hotel.

La décoration colorée et originale de l’hôtel, la gentillesse du personnel aux petits soins, les chambres fonctionnelles avec tout le confort moderne, le lit box spring, le petit-déjeuner exceptionnel, la plage aux eaux turquoises, la possibilité qui nous a été offerte par un membre de l’équipe (merci Rishi !) de fêter la fête traditionnelle de Diwali avec sa famille …
Une seule suggestion : ce serait bien de mettre des ventilateurs de plafond dans les chambres, pour éviter de devoir mettre trop la climatisation la nuit, surtout que l’hôtel est eco-friendly.

The decor, the ambience, everything was beautiful. The food was good as well.Id definitely be back.
4.6
Stylishly designed, great facilities. Food is amazing. Room was lovely, we had a room in the top floor overlooking the pool and with a great sea view
There’s not much around outside the property to do unless you have transport - taxis are relatively good value.
The service is very hit and miss, the beach service was the worst, we tried to converse with the staff there in both English and French but still sometimes it was a struggle for them to understand and we often ended up pointing to stuff on the menu.
The service in the restaurant and main bar was much more successful.
Final, the all inclusive is VERY limited with the alcohol. Most AI are limited to local spirits etc which is acceptable, but the AI wine was limited to one red and one white. One night we were given a different wine list without realising and ordered a bottle that we ended up paying for. When comparing the prices of wines and cocktails the differences in price of some were so small it seemed like an odd thing to be so restricted, especially as you are more or less a captive audience.
4.6
Great activities and some are free
Friendly staff
Very nice rooms, well decorated and spacious
Comfortable bed
Excellent breakfast
Sometimes we had to wait 15-20 min for a coffee and remind them 2-3 times. At breakfast il also came after the food :(

The staff is very kind . The grounds are beautiful and clean. The food was good . The spa experience was exceptional . Beach was ok but we visited during winter season so..
Lack of restaurants.. as there is only one restaurant available. The service provided is not a 5 star service , it’s more of 4 stars hotel service due to the lack of attentiveness, slowness , barely any service on the beach . This needs to be improved.
4.6
The structure is new and well maintained. The beach is literally a few steps from the lobby. The room was spotless, very large and exceptionally bright, with a nice view from the balcony.
Every time I let someone talk me into choosing this kind of accommodations, I remember why I should NEVER choose this kind of accommodations. The staff is ceremonious and contrived but almost never truly helpful (not blaming them, they're not the owners and are probably underpaid so they legitimately don't give a sh**), lengthy check-in, everything's awfully overpriced with no reason nor any real added value (better food, drinks and massages can be found just a couple of miles from the resort, in the village of Trou d'Eau Douce for ONE THIRD of the price), the wifi is totally unusable in the room, in the morning you'll wait 15 minutes to get a coffee, and 20 for the food because god forbid they make everything available self-service, no, they want to look sophisticated, so you have to order your breakfast to an overwhelmed waiter who'll deliver it to the wrong table and cannot tell the difference between fried eggs and an omelette. But what really drives me insane is the signature disgrace of all these wannabe-fancy resorts: the bloody "boutique-hotel bathroom". It works like this: when they start drafting the blueprint of the venue, they look for the folk who graduated with the lowest grade in the local University of Architecture, then they get them drunk, and ask them to design the bathroom. The outcome is invariably some dumba** nonsensical "creative" solution that overturns not just the most basic principles of ergonomics and usability 101, but even the common sense of a sixth grader. I'm talking about bullsh** like a bathroom with a glass wall where you can't poop unless you kick everyone out of the room or, in our case, this abomination here (see the pic, taken from the entrance door). When I read "en suite" I definitely didn't think they meant that the bathroom was LITERALLY in the room. I mean, SERIOUSLY? What's the point of this layout?

The night manager did an exceptional job on our arrival. Thank you.
Also Viana and Blessing and Priyan and the rest of the team at the restaurant were really good.

-As a solo female traveller with some dietary issues coming to Mauritius and the Salt of Palmar totally unplanned and very very last minute I was thrilled by the high level of service and ability of adaptation I met at “ Good kitchen”; this homegrown restaurant with huge heart. The kindness, heartily hospitality and dedication which staff puts into their work is that what makes a visit unforgettable. As one of my favourite member of staff put it: “ I am not happy, if you are not happy 😊 I loved making gluten-free crumpet and healthy salad with the fantastic chefs. The breakfast a la carte menu is so variable that you can stay a whole week and taste something new every single day.
-The location is superb. From my balcony I could enjoy the sunrise over the ocean and from the westerly side of the hotel right on the beautiful sandy beach a special sunset.
- There is no classical reception area, very cool ❣️
- Nice massages at the Spa
Nothing really worth mentioning❣️of course nowhere and no one is perfect, but this place learns and evolves with love, mutual respect and authenticity, “Hut ab “❣️

Everything, we have only been home a day but would go back tomorrow. The staff are incredibly attentive, nothing is too much trouble. Loic, Avi, Blessing, Priyanka, just to name a few of the amazing team at Salt. They really do make you feel at home. The feel of the hotel is so relaxed and chilled even though your in an amazing setting. We loved this as we didn't want to feel we had to dress up to sit and have a drink.
We had an early flight and so arrived before we could check in our room. This didn't matter at all, they told us to go and help ourselves to breakfast, made us complimentary tea and coffee and a refreshing welcome drink. They even have a shower room you can use to freshen up before you can check in. We were keen to check out the beach so waited for our room to be ready there. And what a beach it is! The views from the hotel are spectacular 👌 We were there in winter but there was always beanbags or sun loungers free to sit on. They have a still or sparkling water station near the pool with fresh lemon, mint to get yourself a refreshing drink. There was suncream and body lotion dispensers in the toilets, which was so useful when your down on the beach.
The activities planned by the hotel are fantastic, we particularly loved getting involved in the beach volleyball games which are held at the hotel next door. This added a social aspect to our stay and we made some great friends as a result.
I would definitely recommend Salt of Palmar and we can't wait to come back!
That we had to come home 🥲

The restaurant team Hoomit,Vish,Vinesh, Isha and the kitchen team Shiva Jiji are exceptional. They put passion and heart in every dish. The quality of the raw ingredients is extremely high.
I am a picky eater and I have travelled around the island- being in several hotels. No place is like the food you will eat at Salt of Palmar. The food is not cheap not expensive. The price is fair for what you get : fresh quality ingredients cooked elegantly. I recommend to preorder the dishes in the menu as they are delicious and the restaurant and kitchen team pick the best ingredients on daily basis. You won’t eat any frozen meat here.
A big thank you to Sanjay and his level of professionalism and kindness. He has been accommodating any requests and always made sure we are pleased and happy with the food and service. He is so genuine in everything he does. He will look after you.
Rohan is also very sweet and always checking that you are doing well and you are satisfied. He will always ask you if you want more appetiser or bread and he is so attentive.
The staff of Salt of Palmar is the best part of the hotel. Its people. They are all amazing, will meet you with a genuine smile and kindness. The stay is so relaxing with so many different activities from painting to yoga to aqua gym.
The only downside is that once in a while there is a smell coming from the bathroom and it goes all over the room.
