Salt of Palmar, Mauritius, a Member of Design Hotels

Pros +

• The hotel is incredible, absolutely friendship staff as in the restaurant (f.e. Med) and in room service. The food was perfect, The salt of palmar created incredible dinner for honeymoon. The food was one of the best around the world! The room was clean and perfectly designed.
• The location was good, loved the resort and staff was very friendly.
• We stayed for 11 nights in the Bang on Beach room, which had a perfect view of the sunrise and the sea. We enjoyed our stay very muchit was peaceful, calm, and the perfect place to relax and reset, with no kids around. Pros & Highlights: Location The hotel is right on the beach, perfect for long walks on the sandy shore. Theres nothing within walking distance, but we were aware of that beforehand and rented a car at the airport to explore the whole island. If you dont rent a car but want to go somewhere, 24-hour taxi drivers are available right in front of the hotel. Tip: Visit the market in Flacqfresh fruit, vegetables, and a pure local atmosphere. On the beach, you'll meet a guy from Apollon Cruise offering a 5-island tourhighly recommended! The boat was less crowded than others, making for a more enjoyable experience. Check-in/Check-out Very smooth, with friendly and helpful staff. Food Tasty, with different options to choose from. They handled allergies and dietary restrictions very wellmy partner is vegan, and I cant eat dairy. They even prepared special meals for us for both breakfast and dinner. Staff & Service Always friendly and helpful, especially Sanjay :) who always arranged something special for us at dinner, including desserts. Hotel Highlights: Free daily snorkeling trips at 11 AM (1 hour, boat ride to a perfect spot). Free paddleboard and pedal boat rental. Free drinking water available all day (no need to buy at the supermarket). Stylish design with a perfect ocean view during breakfast and dinner. Library with local and other books, available in the room or in a cozy reading area. Minor Drawbacks: Still water was not free at dinner, even when ordering other drinks. Live music only twice during our stayI would have appreciated it more often, but when it was there, it was really nice. Overall, a fantastic stay, and we would definitely return!

Cons -

• 1. We chose all inclusive and was shocked a bit that half of the menu non-available for AI rate, we had to pay top up for the other position, as from my point of view our rate mean all the menu included, so we made an order and when we had acheck out, we got a bill for juice, that was surprise for our rate) 2. The beach - the hotel have fashion design and everything around is very well styled but beach consists of stones, sea urchins and had to go somewhere to swim.
