To whom it may concern. Dear Team, I must express my disappointment regarding the Friday Dinner, which was subpar, featuring limited options and a burnt pizza (I have a picture). It is imperative that you enhance both your food quality and service. On a positive note, the Kids clubs, rooms, and cleanliness were exemplary. Perhaps you should consider revising your menu to better reflect the nationalities of your guests, as well as incorporating an African theme. It is not feasible to consistently offer only dhall and masala curry at indian corner when you have an Indian restaurant running for dinner. I observed several guests speaking with the F&B manager / the front office manager in the main restaurant on Sunday morning during breakfast. all complaining about the service and the food (especially the scrammed Sushi) It is well-known that the omelet and fried egg station tends to be busy during breakfast hours, yet there was only one lady providing service, resulting in a long queue. Furthermore, we all know that between 11:00 and 13:00, there are numerous check-outs. The lady at the front desk had to call for backup support, as several guests were left waiting to complete their check-out. Read less

Mauritius is a beautiful country and heritage Awali is a beautiful hotel who are also really working hard to be sustainable and protect the environment which is so important. There are multiple restaurants included as well as other options which are discounted if you want something different. I would highly recommend La Boma! The room was stunning and was cleaned in the morning and turned down in the evening was well. There are also lots of included activities such as snorkelling and water sports which is great. There is an adults only pool as well as a heated pool with bar service around it. There is also a lovely little boutique. There are so many things that make this hotel exceptional. But the thing that really makes it is the staff. We felt so welcomed and at home by all the staff we met. We were invited to have a drink with the executive chef Govi, who was lovely and continued to check on us throughout our stay. We also had a fantastic wine tasting experience with sommelier Dany who was knowledgable and lovely. The housekeeping staff were also really friendly and one night we came back to find towel swans and Ross petals on our bed! Finally we would like to recognise Olivier who continually brought us delicious drinks by the pool even without us asking! All the staff at Awali are approachable and keen to help make your stay memorable. They made our honeymoon truly special and I can’t thank them enough. Read less

I spent the weekend with my wife and two kids, along with four other families, and we had a wonderful experience. The staff were caring and attentive, and the facilities were excellent. The pool is heated, the wellness center is well equipped, and the quality of the food is up to standard. I highly recommend this hotel experience.

Our experience at Heritage Awali Golf and Spa Resort was absolutely breathtaking! We were treated royal from the minute we checked in. The resort is stunning, and the welcoming staff made our experience unforgettable. Our warmest regards go to the manager, Govi, who made sure we had everything and more. His warmth and attention to detail made us feel like we were at home. And Nikolas at the bar! His smile, and cocktail recommendations made our evenings super relaxing. The resort and the staff made us feel like we were at a home away from home, and were looked after by well wishers. The experience was elevated by the helpfulness that Krishna showed at reception, and always had a warm smile and greeting. It was great. We also wish to mention the table service Houdish provided us. His friendliness and attention elevated the hospitality we mentioned. He was great and made every meal special. His attention to detail was remarkable. And foremost, Sheila, who kept our room immaculate, was always so cheerful. Coming back from a day at the beach or a spa felt like returning to a small piece of paradise. The two of us are from Romania. This five-night stay was beyond our expectations.! Read less
