"I think this hotel has all of what you need. Just book it for more than 5 days if you want to enjoy it properly: tennis courts, library to work/relax, beautiful beaches, fantastic spa, and the bread in the breakfast buffet... oh, the bread!!! "

"We had a wonderful 5-night stay and found it to be the perfect amount of time on an all-inclusive board. The food was a real highlight- there were plenty of great vegetarian options at the buffet as well as across the à la carte restaurants, which made dining varied and enjoyable throughout our stay. We traveled with our 3.5-year-old and had a fantastic time as a family. Our toddler loved the swimming pools and the beach, and we also enjoyed taking the pedalo out a few times. The resort is very family-friendly, with a kids club and lots of activities to keep children entertained. For older kids and teenagers, there are also great options like tennis, table tennis, paddle, and a pool table. The staff truly made the experience special. they were warm, welcoming, and always attentive. The rooms were comfortable and perfectly fine for our stay, though they could benefit from a bit of updating. That said, everything was clean and functional. A fun bonus was the ice cream available from 1-5pm, which is a great treat if you’re on the all-inclusive package! Overall, we had a lovely, relaxing stay and would definitely recommend it, especially for families."

"Just a wonderful resort. Our second trip here and it’s the best we’ve been to in Mauritius."

"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,"

"Loved my stay here! We were in Mauritius for a week and stayed at 3 different hotels on the East, west, and southern coasts. Grand Baie Veranda was my favorite. The hotel is simply so beautiful from the moment you get into the parking lot. Very clean and the staff are amazing. I will never forget one of the staff members taking the time to clean my wound when I stubbed my big toe walking to dinner. That was so nice. The food is also great and I loved the gift shop. Found reasonably-priced souvenirs to take home with me. The room was great, my only qualm with it is that there are too many light switches. Otherwise, very spacious and well-decorated. Loved waking up to the sound of birds serenading us on the balcony each morning. The hotel and the surrounding area are also pretty lively. Many dining options within walking distance."
