We married in another part of Mauritius in 1999 and always said we hoped to return for our Silver Wedding Anniversary. We deliberately chose a completely different part of the island and after extensive research we are so glad that we chose to stay at Heritage Awali. The hotel is wonderful and the staff are absolutely wonderful - lovely genuine people who clearly take pride in their work. The room was kept immaculate every single day and the bar staff were great fun - Kolly and his colleagues including Abby were great and the cocktails (Basil 10) were out of this world!! The shop in the hotel was fairly priced for nice little gifts which was handy. The restaurants were all outstanding and there was always a great choice of food - all of which was lovely. The Reception staff and managers were all friendly and approachable. Massive king size bed was really comfortable! Heritage - your staff are what make you really special!! Read less

Only small negative was we felt the buffet breakfast to be a little unorganised/lacking compared to other places we have stayed. Majority of staff were excellent, shout outs to Pallavee on front desk and Nicholas and Abi at main bar. Thank you a great trip. Read less
