Salt of Palmar If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing place, Salt of Palmar is the perfect resort for a get away. Although the room is smaller compared to bigger hotels , it was clean and well maintained. We had the beach view and it was just amazing to wake up in the morning with the sunrise. The restaurant offers only a la carte menu, no buffet. There is a variety of food and everything we have eaten is excellent. Everyday there is a special menu posted at the entrance of the restaurant that is different from the a la carte menu. A big thank you to the restaurant manager, Med, and his colleagues for their quick and excellent service. Very friendly, smiling and polite staff. A special thank you to the personalized service we received from Vinesh who also has a great sense of humour. Staff at reception also very kind and friendly. All in all, we are very satisfied and highly recommend this hotel. Read less

Such a wonderful experience, very relaxing. The staff are very friendly and helpful, they suggested and accommodated different vegetarian meals for me. Med and Rushi make you feel at home and always on hand to help. The food is out of this world, and attention to detail on presentation is lovely. They have their own bakery on site and the pastries are to die for. The hotel decor is so chic and very well thought out. I loved the design and all the small touches make it even more special. The Salt room at the Spa is beautiful and so relaxing. The hotel is right on the beach front and you can hear the waves and the view is stunning. Read less
