Salt of Palmar is a beautiful hotel in a great location. We stayed in the beach facing room called "Bang on the Beach" and it's worth the upgrade from the garden facing room as you are a Stone's throw from the ocean and get an excellent sunrise view. The sole restaurant in the hotel serves delicious food, specially the breakfast. The in-house bakery is great (the Danish is a must try). The service is excellent with all the staff very attentive. We got great service from everyone but Sanjay clearly stood out with his pleasant demeanour and eagerness to please. The pool is very clean and well maintained. There are a bunch of complementary and paid activities, including water based activities such as pedal boats, glass bottom boats etc. offered by the hotel. We didn't have enough time to try most of them though. There isn't a whole lot to do in the vicinity of the hotel so you generally have to taxi to pretty much anywhere. The taxis are usually available outside the hotel or you can pre arrange with the hotel or other operators. Read less

This boutique hotel was a hidden gem! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. The bed was v comfortable, the pool was a great size and the private beach was pristine and secluded. The perfect place for a relaxing and luxurious getaway without being too resorty.
