SALT of Palmar, an adult-only boutique Hotel
"Thank you so much for an amazing experience! My husband and I booked SALT looking for a relaxing and chilled place and that is exactly what we got. Dheeraj and the team really looked after us, even making a personalised drink in a fresh coconut!! It was small gestures like this that made us feel so welcomed. They organised day trips and cabs for us, offered turn down services every night and we even got to have a full body massage in their beautiful spa with 20% off. We had a magical time and can’t thank everyone enough."
