Superb facility, staff and amenities. Beautiful clean beach with negligible coral and stones. Safe surroundings and great French cuisine choices. The staff are there to satisfy your needs. Expedia status and benefits are not honoured and they were unaware that my booking was for All Inclusive- so I had to pay an extra 1000 Euros for breakfast and dinner for 7 days. It was difficult to contact Expedia to address this issue- they had not responded after 7 days to my concerns.

Good Value for money
Good Value for money. Considered design and focus on experiential travel. A perfect alternative to stuffy resorts dotted across the island. Still falls short on customer experience due to evident training gaps and lack of organisation but if addressed it could really stand out in a sea of mediocre luxury wannabe hotels on the island.

An absolute dream!!!
Wow! This hotel is an absolute dream. We would move in tomorrow. If we could describe it in three words they would be: Boojee. Fashionable. Delicious. It has the ultimate Soho House vibes. Special thanks to the amazing staff Viana Ved, Vinesh, Angel and the BRILLIANT Akhilesh who went above and beyond to ensure our honeymoon was nothing short of amazing. Thank you! The location of this hotel is a piece of paradise in itself, with breathtaking views of the crystal-clear Indian Ocean and pristine beaches right at your doorstep. What truly sets this hotel apart was the how sustainable it was and also the outstanding food; every meal was a culinary masterpiece, blending local flavors with international cuisine to perfection. We loved it so much, we extended our stay. The impeccable service, friendly and attentive staff, stunning location, and delectable food make it a must-visit destination for anyone seeking a luxurious and memorable getaway. Without a doubt, we would wholeheartedly come back to relive this incredible experience.

Service was slow. It was extremely aggravating seeing people with blue shirts (managers I presume) barking orders at the understaffed workers and not lifting a finger to help. Then I got charged 3 times for the same dinner so that’s great. When I told the front desk they said they would handle it and never did.

Beautiful clean beach, pool, rooms cheerful, design and comfort also top notch. Staff all were superior with big hearts. I am a seasoned traveler and this resort rates in my top 4 around the world.

A great place to relax and chill, great staff and concept, however the food and drinks were way too expensive and the food wasn't that good to match the price and what you read on the menu is not always what you get on the plate. A bit far from the center and nightlife, no restaurants or bars nearby, a taxi/car is needed.

rishi was amazing to share his local tips and took care of arrangenents at other lux resorts. such a shame that service at the bar/restaurant in general is too slow! also hotel could have benefited from lowering the price of local beer or rum encouraging more consumption. knowing that it charges over 3 times we decide to stay healthy instead.

We had a lovely stay at Salt. We were in the room on the 1st floor facing the pool. Meals were amazing, healthy with lots of options starters, mains and desserts; the portions were quite big for me, so I usually either skipped starter or dessert. We tried most of the cocktails as well and absolutely loved them all. We also tried 60-min spa there, it was super relaxing. Staff are nice at Salt, easy to talk to and they even remember the cocktail we love the most! Strongly recommend!

We really liked the hotel. But a few things could be improved: - The welcome didn’t mention the free water activities or show the gym or roof bar - The info board did not mention one needed to pre book for the glass bottom boat - The pricing and quantity of food made ordering at dinner a gamble - pay £20 for a small shrimp cocktail with two shrimp… 2 OR her a very large curry meal

A slice of paradise
A truly wonderful experience. Sensational hotel and setting, with kind and friendly staff. We really enjoyed our stay here and would thoroughly recommend it. The Bang on Beach and Sea View rooms are worth paying extra for. We opted for All-Inclusive for simplicity and I'm glad we did as the quality of food and drinks was mostly excellent.

Salt-The Hidden Gim of The East Coast of Mauritius
Me and girlfriend went to Salt of Palmar to have a vacation for 8 days, The staff was so polite, pleasant and helpful from the moment we checked in till the moment we left the hotel, the service was exceptional. The food was so delicious, always fresh and tasty. I will definitely miss it specially the pastries. The room was always clean and equipped with everything we need, lovely and minimalist interior design with a very good view for the sea. As someone mentioned before in a previous review the hotel got an Art Deco/Havana vibe - really well designed and decorated with lots of greenery. Overall we had an amazing stay in this wonderful hotel and we would like to thank all of the amazing staff who helped us to enjoy our stay: Kumar, Vidusha, Sanjay, Vinesh, Bishav, Sandyana and the rest of the crew!

Simply stunning!
I stayed in four hotels during my week in Mauritius and this was hands-down my favourite. The bright, graphic design of this hotel will provide endless inspiration for enviable vacation photographs! Rooms are spacious and comfortable, with every amenity available. I especially enjoyed the locally produced beauty products: shampoo, conditioned, hair mask, salt body scrub, body wash, hand wash and lotion! All were amazing! Most of the staff were really good. Talk to the manager if you need anything, he is so kind and helpful. I was a bit sick one evening, and the restaurant staff were very supportive and professional, and the hotel arranged for a doctor to visit me in my room. The beach is gorgeous and I also went diving with the dive centre next door and they were amazing professionals. I wish I would have had time to do two dives with them. The restaurant focuses on local food and I really enjoyed my meals. I especially recommend the fish ceviche and roasted root vegetable salad. A few small suggestions for improvement: The hotel tries to function completely on an app/digitally. It's okay for some but others may wish to ditch their phone at least some of the time when on vacation. I really, really miss the simplicity of paper menus. The spa menu (again, on the app) is a bit confusing and led to a somewhat stressful exchange before my treatment. However, the treatment itself was great.

Looks very overpriced and it’s mysterious for us why the rating is so high. No one at reception knows what is VIP Expedia benefits. No upgrades, no discounts. We asked the room on high floor before arrival but this was not noted. Room is tiny, toilet is miserable, no freezer and no minibar in the room. The beach is not for swimming at all, not enough sun umbrellas for all guests… we were really disappointed and I don’t even want to recollect all things…
