During our delightful two-night stay at Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resorts from April 19th to 21st, Room 4003, we were greeted with exceptional warmth from the moment we arrived at the hotel gates to our reception experience. The team at Awali embodies true hospitality, demonstrating a genuine care for every guest. Each staff member we encountered displayed an attentive and customer-centric approach, making our stay truly memorable. Special thanks go to Jean-Paul Begue, Jay, Navish, Nikhil, Jyotee and the nice lady at Reception (sorry i didn't h=get hold of her name but it strat with M) and the talented Chef who tantalized our taste buds with their culinary creations, especially the incredible catch of the day that left us utterly impressed from the very first bite. We depart with fond memories and gratitude for the exceptional service and hospitality provided by the entire team at Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resorts. Bravo !!!👍 Read less

We were really impressed by our recent stay at Heritage Awali - it certainly rates as one of the best hotels we have stayed at in Mauritius.

We were really impressed by our recent stay at Heritage Awali - it certainly rates as one of the best hotels we have stayed at in Mauritius. We spent a few days here as a family of 4 (my two children aged 8 and 3). We felt very welcomed and although certainly family friendly, it didn't feel overtly family focused. Although we had a slightly haphazard check-in with no one immediately attending to us or our luggage, this was quickly smoothed over with a relatively swift check-in process. We had a beach front room with a really spacious bathroom and comfortable bed (a kingsize and a large sofa bed, already made). The balcony overlooked the children's pool and beach front, with perfect view of the sunset. The food was excellent - at the buffet restaurant, there was a good choice of food without feeling too overwhelming or wasteful and the food and service at the a la carte restaurant, Infinity Blue, was fantastic - with a good choice of seafood/fish dishes. The drinks were great too and pre-dinner drinks at Zenzibar were accompanied by complimentary snacks/gajaks. We also enjoyed fresh coconuts and coconut themed cocktails at the CocoShack. There was a huge amount on offer to do to keep ourselves entertained - from golf initiation to archery, tennis, seashell museum, kids club. There is an adults only pool and a family friendly pool which was perfect to allow my kids to swim and feel safe. The kids club was very welcoming and the staff super friendly. I had a signature treatment at the spa - full body massage, body scrub and facial - which was amazing and a beautiful setting. It's location is very well set with great access to many interesting sites to visit not too far away (e.g. Chamarel, Bois Cheri etc). The staff and service were brilliant - never too invasive, respectful, but always responsive to any needs. Nirvesh was wonderful with our children, Olivier went above and beyond by bringing our drinks order without even asking, Vanessa provided excellent service with a smile and was always very accommodating to our needs and Jay provided really excellent service. We really look forward to coming back! Read less

A heavenly hotel with a 6 star service of staff. This is how I would describe my stay. It was beyond my expectation. Seven years ago, I first visited the hotel but had a bad experience. But this time my stay was a heavenly one. Jay, the guru , he is a professional employee and knows his job and knows how to bring a smile and please the guests. He remained with us till our departure and bid us good bye to a promise to be back again. He also gave us late check out with his team Merry and Sawan on 21 april. Micheal helped me when I was not feeling well during check in. Bholah welcomed us in our room 3207 on 19 april. At the zanzibar, Mackenzie prepared nice cocktails for me. I had a medical condition which Stephane and Jennifer from Savannah Restaurant helped me Even, Vymal from Zanzibar helped me and set my table for me to have my breakfast. I will never forget these people who have helped knowing knowing my medical condition. There is 1 lady whom I will also never forget Yovishni from Zafrani restaurant, she made sure we were well served and looked after me and my family. She looked after us in Infinity Blue restaurant as well. Vayraj, my son's favourite Ronaldo also served us in Infinity blue restaurant and bar and Savanna restaurant. A chef made a heart shape pizza for me on Saturday 20 april, i can't remember his name. Angelique and Anais of Savana Restaurant looked after us well. I must also salute Jean Paul who made my kids ate indian food, my daughter loved the butter chicken and my son the madras lamb curry at the Zafrani Restaurant. At the Zafrani Restaurant, the food by Chef Harijit Singh like Arijit Singh's brother which I tease him was excellent and great service by Priya and Vishesh( I was sad to know he will not be there soon, please an appeal to make him comeback) Dear Mr Jérôme Carlier, you have an excellent team, let me say family at Heritage Awali Resort. Hats off to you to have lead such a great team. Each and every staff had that magical human touch which made my stay memorable and heavenly. Only 2 suggestion if you permit Sir: please include the minibar in all inclusive package and please put a toilet faucet spray and tap to ease toiletage in toilets of all rooms. Read less
