"Un super séjour à la slight Villa. Les chambres sont spacieuses et propres. Une jolie Piscine, un petit déjeuner avec crêpes, salade de fruit et autres sur demande. Un accueil très sympathique, et un hôte extrêmement disponible. Nous reviendrons ici pour nos prochains passages à trou d’eau douce, et nous les recommandons, les yeux fermés."

"Luxury with a Heart
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at SALT of Palmar. Everything, from the food to the accommodation was truly five-star, and the level of service consistently exceeded our expectations. All of the staff were exceptional and genuinely went above and beyond to ensure every guest had the best possible experience.
One of the highlights of our trip was the privilege of visiting a local school for students with disabilities, supported by the hotel. The school caters to children as young as five through to young adults, and the work being done there is genuinely inspiring. The hotel’s support goes far beyond simple donations—they have helped furnish spaces such as a music room and contribute to practical life skills training, including making beds, setting cutlery, laundry, and more. Their fitness coach also visits regularly to support sporting activities.
What stood out most was how modest the hotel is about these efforts—you wouldn’t know about this incredible work unless you spoke to the manager. It’s definitely worth asking about if you visit.
There was absolutely no pressure to contribute, but like many schools, they are always in need of resources and equipment. If you are planning a stay, it may be worthwhile bringing along items such as stationery, toys, or other useful supplies. Monetary contributions are also welcomed, but entirely optional.
Overall, this was an unforgettable experience,"
"I would not recommend this hotel to anyone, but especially not to adults traveling without children. There were bugs in my room that were not cleaned up by housekeeping. My drinking water was not replaced. I only had one towel changed. Mostly it felt like a factory or an assembly line. Staff seemed to shuffle me from one station to another, with few being actually helpful or interested in my questions. Some of the staff were lovely. But they were sadly overshadowed and outnumbered by staff that were outwardly judgmental. I got side eye and spoken to with an undercurrent of disdain and condescension - all with fake smiles and the appearance of helpfulness. For example, around 4pm I asked someone about getting a boxed lunch for the next day. He literally rolled his eyes and said I missed the window, I needed to book that 24 hours in advance and he couldn’t help me anyway because that was the restaurants job. My first night at dinner a DJ appeared around 8pm, a disco ball came down from the ceiling, and colored spot lights started swirling around. Children - most without a parent in sight - appeared and started yelling with joy and running around. When I inquired about other restaurant options that were maybe more low key, without booming dance music, and fewer wild children, I was told with a laugh, a flip of the hair, and evil eyes… but this is a family resort!! For the price point of this hotel, the lack of customer service was unacceptable. "
"When I landed, the shuttle was relatively easy to find, and I didn’t have to wait very long for it to turn up. The ride to the property was super quick, as it’s very conveniently located to MRU - around 5 minutes drive.
Checkin was fast, and efficient and the lady at the front desk was lovely and seemed genuinely happy to be there. In my post flight haze, I forgot to take a note of her name. That being said, all the staff I interacted with were really nice people.
The rooms are a decent size, and there was decent water pressure and plenty of hot water.
The buffet breakfast was plentiful and delicious. There’s always a temptation to gorge oneself on the wide array of food provided but I restrained myself.
I’d definitely stay there again should the need arise. "
"Our 2nd visit to this hotel as we found it great value for a fun and also relaxing family holiday.
We loved the Beach location where you wander straight down from the hotel - and enjoy your all
Inclusive drink here too. Sit and relax with gorgeous view of the ocean or take a dip in the crystal clear Sea. Blue Bay is such a perfect spot for snorkelling , straight from the shore you can see the marine life . We loved spotting all the fish, my daughter favourite being the 'Minecraft fish' (box fish). Also make sure to take advantage of the complimentary glass bottom boat trip further out into the Bay.
The staff were fantastic, from check in to The Bar servers, waiting team in the restaurant and cleaning crew . Many of the servers recognised us from previous years and were once again friendly and helpful. They particularly took time with the Kids to ensure they were happy! The Hotel manager also took time to sit with us and talk about how we were enjoying the holiday.
Mostly I have to mention the Club Coralia entertainment team, Yoan & Emmanuelle who absolutely made the holiday! Their efforts and enthusiasm which is recognised a genuine passion for what they do gave the kids the most wonderful experiences and memories they will cherish forever. Nothing was too much for them and they constantly went out their way to ensure the kids (and grown ups) were having a good time- even happily being chased and pushed fully clothed into the pool! Their kindness and warm smiles.

6/10 Okay
"The hotel was good and had great amenities, especially good wateraports.However I would class it as a 4 star rather than a 5 star. The check in was poor. Having travelled 13 hours and through the night, I did not expect there to be be a delay in checking in....surely they could have found another room rather than keep us waiting.The room cleaning was inconsistent sometimes good, sometimes not so good. The gym was basic but the equipment was new. The gym bin was not emptied and the water dispensers were not filled up on a regular basis. "
"The staff have all been absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for all that you have done to make our stay here so very special. We were celebrating our honeymoon and also staying with our family. Special thanks to Vella, Naresh, Deepak, Anasthasia and all of the teams - you have been wonderful. We all left feeling like a part of the family. We will definitely see you again soon! All our love, Catherine & Jon Gardner x"

Holiday rentals offer extras such as patios, hot tubs and fire pits so you'll feel right at home. If you're concerned about cleanliness, holiday rentals can offer a sense of safety away from public hotel lifts and lobbies packed with people while still allowing you a great travel experience.
