"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,"

"The staff were very friendly, there was never a time that you were not greeted by a staff member no matter what there role was there. We felt so welcome! "

"Great service, lovely staff and very nice food. The flame and tide restaurant and aqua restaurant are fantastic. Rooms are refurbished and are very high quality. The grounds are also lovely. Entertainment at night is low key but very good. Our son loved the kids club eh oh was excellent. "

"Great property in a fantastic setting. Downside is the food and restaurants with lack of vegetarian food options available."

"he friendliness and attentiveness of the staff are what really sets it apart (special thanks to Rohan at Royce and Yash at Mixologist who took exceptional care of us). Beyond that, just stellar all round; the suite, the location, the food, the cleanliness, the facilities. This is our third time visiting, and no doubt we’ll be back as it’s proven very reliable."

"Great staff, the So Sofitel brand is consistently good, oh and no late check out charge, always a nice touch not to feel 'fleeced' when the room is most likely unoccupied until long after we"ve left. "
