We returned to our Mauritian home this month for our ninth time in paradise. Coming back to Awali was like seeing a close family friend - I love the warmth and friendliness of the resort and the view of the Indian ocean as you arrive is breathtakingly beautiful. The staff really do all they can to make your stay wonderful. Thank you Krishna for curating me alcohol free cocktails, to Jean Marie for excellent service, to Ramana and Jerome for giving us such excellent memories, and to Nitisha for your homely remedies when I had mouth ulcers. Thank you to Sheila for keeping our room immaculate and to Vanessa for remembering our ginger tea in the mornings. We first visited in 2009 and with every visit, there are small changes but the Awali charm does not change. From the moment you arrive and are welcomed to the sound of drums and see the beautiful Indian Oceon, you will be in paradise. The food and drink package is of high quality. We preferred eating in Infinity Blue but the Indian and C Beach are also excellent. The O Grill at the Golf Course was great for service and ambience but the drinks were very expensive and you only get meal credits to eat there. We hired a car and snorkelled at Le Morne and Blue Bay. There is a strong current at Awali which stopped me snorkelling there. The hotel is committed to sustainability and protecting the beach which has changed over the years but I love the sound of the buff which does not change. We will be back very soon. Read less

i am beginning to lose count on how many times we have been to the Awali but we just keep returning. Every year we discuss where to go but always it comes back to our lovely Awali. There is a good choice of restaurants including breakfast lunch and dinner at C beach club. You can also use other restaurants on the Bel Ombre Domain with a food and drink credit, The all incisive package is very comprehensive and includes some very palatable wines, Unfortunately as other hotels there has been a lot of beach erosion over the years but the lovely staff and friendliness of the resort more than compensates for this, The staff and the beautiful surroundings are the reason we keep returning. A special thank you to Ramana, Jean Marie, Vicky, Oliver, Nicholas Angele and Jerrome, We really appreciate you and you show your appreciation to us, Sheila kept our room beautifully clean and tidy and is a gem. The hotel is also a haven for golfers, We are missing the Awali and we will return Read less

Our second visit to Heritage Awali was as amazing as the first experience. A warm welcome, stunning views, hotel team paying attention to every detail, friendly yet professional attitude and atmosphere that is hard to beat. We knew what to expect and still had another challenge - an anniversary celebration. We received a helpful approach prior our arrival, and later we were well taken care of by the FB team, especially a pure angel Angele, the master bartender Nicolas, recreation team (taking part in our sporty challenges), guest relations Ms. Nasrat, and of course the management led by Mr. J. Our group enjoyed the authentic Mauritian cuisine (as part of the National Day celebration), we couldn´t miss the Thursday Lobster dinner and everyday a tasty breakfast buffet (AI packeg is highly recommened). The location of the resort offers quiet/relaxing experience close to the natural reserves, clean and private beach with rich underwater life to discover. Rooms were always clean, beach towels changed and refreshments incl. drinks throughout the day provided - kids loved especially the new pancake and icecreams stand. Amazing stay, once again and looking forward coming back! Read less
