Our stay at Heritage Awali Golf & Spa Resort was truly one of the most memorable holidays we have ever experienced. As a retired couple who travel frequently, we feel this resort stands out largely because of the exceptional kindness, professionalism, and genuine care shown by every member of staff. From the moment we arrived, the reception team were extremely helpful and efficient, clearly explaining all procedures and assisting with money exchange details in a calm and reassuring manner. It immediately created a sense of ease and welcome. Throughout the resort, every staff member we encountered was consistently kind, considerate, and attentive. It would be impossible to single out individuals for praise because the overall standard of service was so uniformly high. At breakfast, Nawaz always greeted us with a friendly smile and a very personable manner. It was a real pleasure to chat with him each morning about football teams and match strategies while he looked after us so attentively, helping to start each day on a warm and cheerful note. At the Infinity Blue restaurant, the head waiter demonstrated outstanding leadership, guiding a highly professional and efficient team. The food was absolutely glorious and consistently of a very high standard, making every dining experience a real pleasure. We also noticed Anastazia, who was exceptionally attentive across several restaurants—nothing was ever too much trouble for her, and she genuinely enhanced our overall dining experience. Our housemaid, Vhimla, was exceptionally thorough and ensured all our specific needs were carefully supported throughout our stay, contributing greatly to our comfort and peace of mind. The free spa facilities were absolutely fantastic, supported by extremely efficient and professional staff who made each visit deeply relaxing and restorative. A special mention must also go to the bar staff throughout the resort, including those at the Coconut Shack. As I follow a medical diet with limited options, they were all incredibly helpful in providing suitable non-alcoholic and low-carb drinks without hesitation, always delivered with kindness and understanding. Overall, we felt completely at home from the day we arrived. The combination of beautiful surroundings, excellent facilities, and above all the genuine warmth and professionalism of the staff made this one of the most outstanding holiday experiences we have ever had. We would not hesitate to recommend this resort and very much hope to return in the future. Read less

Heritage Awali gave us exactly the peaceful family break we needed. Traveling with a teenager and elderly parents meant we were looking for a destination that could cater to everyone — and the resort exceeded expectations beautifully. While we enjoyed the much-needed break from our hectic routine, our teen also had an amazing time and truly appreciated the welcoming environment and activities around the resort. We were accompanied by some elders and everybody took care of her though she had a mobility challenge. What stood out most was the genuine hospitality from every department. Thanks to Jean-Paul for being present for our welcoming. The Front Office team led by Vicky and Bhola made us feel welcomed immediately, and special thanks to Treycika, Leenesh, Jaishny and Jay for their attentiveness. Thanks to Avinash and the Spa team for the treat! The housekeeping team under Vishal was excellent, with special appreciation for Vimla and Keshav. The food across the resort was outstanding thanks to Chef Govinden, Chef Poule, Chef Singh, Jimmy, Ramana and the whole F&B and kitchen teams. We also enjoyed the lovely service at the bar from Olivier, Nicolas and Vayraj. Special thanks to the staffs of Zafarani. Thanks to Laurent for the visit of the wine cellar. Last but not least, a special thanks to Ingrid and Swad for greeting us during our breakfast, and to Jerome, though not present, ensured with the whole staff. Read less

A special mention to Jean-Paul for the warm welcome, as well as Vicky, Bhola and the entire Front Office team for always being attentive and accommodating.

The Housekeeping team, led by Vishal, did an outstanding job throughout our stay. A heartfelt thank you as well to Vimla, who was incredibly helpful as our valet, and to Keshav for his excellent service and positive attitude. The Food & Beverage experience was equally impressive. Jimmy and Ramana’s leadership clearly reflects in the quality of service delivered across the resort. Nishta at Savana was wonderful, and the entire Zafarani and AFNB teams were absolutely fantastic. Special thanks as well to Olivier, Nicolas and Vayraj at the bar for their excellent service and great energy. CocoShak had refreshing coconut-based cocktails, led by a friendly barman. Laurent's wine recommendations were on point, and his warm and friendly personality made every interaction enjoyable. A relaxing and rejuvenating experience at the spa was made even better thanks to Avinash. The culinary experience deserves particular praise. Chef Govinden and the kitchen team consistently delivered delicious meals throughout our stay, while Chef Singh and the Zafarani team served some truly outstanding food. Also, a special mention to Kizuri and the team for the amazing faratas, especially the ones by Anusha — definitely unforgettable. Thank you to the entire Heritage Awali team for such a memorable experience. We look forward to returning very soon. Read less
