Fabulous hotel and resort with beautiful landscaped gardens on the coast. Our beachfront room was spacious and opened up to a stunning view of turquoise ocean framed by palm trees. We were well looked after by Vhimla from housekeeping who was friendly and keen to ensure we had everything we needed. This was our first all-inclusive experience and we were not disappointed. The restaurants in the resort and at the sister hotel next door were excellent with a wide variety of delicious cuisines on offer. Our favourites were Affinity Blue, especially for lunch, and Ginja. All the staff throughout the resort were amicable and helpful. Breakfast was sometimes a little frantic but the beach vibes at lunch and the mellow ambience in the evening made varied and delicious dining options. The rum cocktails were the perfect sundowner tipple. The spa and the many activities on site provided daily choices for all. Trips were easy to book and the adjoining golf course was well worth a visit for all standards of golfer. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will be back. Read less

Heritage Awali Hotel is a sublime blend of luxury and Mauritian charm, offering a captivating immersion into the island's rich culture. The vibrant colors, exquisite cuisine, and warm hospitality make it a true haven. Special mention to Sheila, our delightful cleaner and avid Manchester United fan, whose infectious positivity added a personal touch to our stay. A unique experience that beautifully encapsulates the essence of Mauritius. However, service lags in the buffet and Italian restaurant and around the pool; improvements in efficiency would elevate the overall experience. Read less

We had a great time at one of our honeymoon stops here in Mauritius. The staff was all extremely friendly and catered to our every need. One of our excursions didn't end up working out, but the staff tried to help as much as possible to continue making us happy. We will definitely return here if we find ourselves in Mauritius.
