Everything was so great at Salt. The staff, especially Charlie and Shanka were the kindest and most helpful people and Charlie‘s 7am vinyasa classes are a true energy boost in the morning. The breakfast menu only has 4 dishes but those four dishes are delicious and you can eat them every day without getting bored. Hiriketiya hay was beautiful even in the rainy season, though we unfortunately only got 2 sunny days and lots of rain otherwise (obviously to be expected during monsoon). We will definitely be back!
