Ambre Resort and Spa

We have been in Ambre Resort end of March to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. It was our first time in an AI resort and we enjoyed every minute. We arrived early in the morning, Check in with Shahaad was absolutely smooth, we were offered hot towels and a welcome drink while waiting. On the guest form, we were asked to fill in our wedding date. After having done that, Shahaad came back to inform us about a complimentary dinner in the beach restaurant. That´s a good way to start the holiday! As our room was not available (we arrived at 0930am), we could go to a room to take a shower and change clothes. As AI started with our arrival, we spent the time until we got our room on the beach and in the beach bar. As stated in other reviews, the rooms are basic, but step by step renovation is already planned according to info from the management. Still, the rooms are clean and the housekeeping really does a good job. During our stay, parts of the beach have been washed away as a cyclone passed the island. Therefore, our anniversary dinner was served in the italian restaurant. Quality and service were amazing, we even got a small cake at the end of the dinner. It was a very special evening for us, thanks to the whole team for making this possible for us. Around the pool, there are many sunbeds, but we didn´t use them as we preferred the beach next to our room which was very quiet. The service on the beach was very good too, we always got our drinks within reasonable time given the fact that the beach is stretched. And if you are too lazy to go to the restaurant for lunch, you can order snacks and sandwiches directly to your sunbed. Besides the dinner in La Dolce Vita, we took our meals in the main restaurant most of the time because we love Indian food. We even got some recipes from the Indian chef, thanks for that. All in all, for us, it was the prefect holiday. Unfortunately, I cannot list all the staff who made the stay in Ambre a stay to remember, so thanks Shahaad for the always being friendly and helpful, Kersley for attentive service and good espresso and spirits after dinner and the hangover drink :), Tooshai for the cocktails which were really great and his boss Mr Vishnu for challenging Tooshai to mix a perfect Cosmopolitan directly at our table. Unfortunately, I cannot upload the video we made. After returning home, I contacted the hotel management by mail to bring up some minor points directly with them as I failed to do so during our stay. That´s a problem during holiday, you always think "It´s plenty of time left!" but suddenly, the bus is there to pick you up and bring you back to the airport. Management answered very quickly and could sort out all the things I brought to their attention. So nothing to complain about, we think about coming back. One last word, tipping is not expected, but as almost anywhere in the world, staff is not unhappy if you do it. :) We think that excellent service must be rewarded.

Nice moment at Amber hotel we got a VIP treatment everything was perfect. A special thanks to Mrs Joanna for your professional approach and treatment. Again thanks a lots for this warm welcome. From Mr And Mrs Anadachee

We have just returned from a two week stay at this resort. What a beautiful resort. The beach is beautiful and you can walk for miles along it safely. Our room was very large with spectacular seaviews. Kept very clean by the housekeeping staff. Minibar well stocked. We spent most of our time on the sunbeds in the lovely gardens. There was a bar serving a good variety of drinks, the staff were very attentive and service was quick. Special thanks to Prem, Preetam and Jay - nothing too much trouble - a dream team. They made a great Mai Tai too. The food at the Indigo buffet was excellent, always lots of choice, breakfasts cooked to order, perfect poached eggs everytime! Brinda and Kelvin were especially attentive but all the staff are very good.We chose to eat at La Plage one evening, it incurred a supplement but worth every penny, the meal was gorgeous and service was outstanding thank you Shevind for making our evening very special. Our table was right on the beach,it was incredible, candlelit dinner looking out over the Indian Ocean - one off the bucket list!!. We had a special wedding anniversary dinner in Dolce Vita on our last night, we had a lovely meal and the staff bought us a special cake for dessert. On our return to the room it had been decorated with flowers etc, such a nice touch. All the staff are a credit to the resort, They work incredibly hard to ensure that you have a wonderful holiday, we would certainly go back to the same resort if we return to Mauritius.
