OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi - All Inclusive with Free Transfers
8/10 Good
"We had a fantastic two-week stay overall!
Staff: Extremely friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Niya, Rasheed and Riza for their excellent service.
Food: Fantastic variety, great atmosphere and plenty of seating. Even 30 minutes before closing, all dishes were available and replenished.
Rooms & Pool: Clean, spacious rooms with plenty of storage. The pool is huge, with plenty of sunbeds and towels.
Entertainment: Daytime activities were great, particularly the foam party and Aqua Zumba. The fire show was fantastic. Evening entertainment was less impressive. The stage above the bar doesn't create a lively atmosphere, and it's a shame that such talented singers are limited to a repetitive selection of 80s and 90s songs.
Snorkelling (2/5): Our biggest disappointment. Being a relatively new man-made island, the reef is still developing, with only tiny patches of living coral. Marine life was limited; we struggled to spot sharks or rays and didn't see any turtles. After three snorkelling attempts, we gave up, quite bad given a 2-week stay. As an experienced freediver and scuba diver, I had higher expectations. Neighbouring natural Bandos Island has considerably more established coral and marine life. Hopefully, the reef will recover over the coming years.
Overall (4/5): Excellent food, staff and facilities. A great resort for relaxation, but if snorkelling and marine life are a priority, consider a natural island with an established reef."

"We had a great time at Oblu. The staff and service was fantastic, rooms very comfortable clean and spacious, good gym facilities and good choice at the restaurants and bars. The speedboat was a little long at just over an hour but the island is beautiful when you get there."

10/10 Excellent
"Excelente opção, atendimento diferenciado de todos do staff!
Principalmente da concierge/hostes, pessoal do bar e academia.
Localização privilegiada.
Voltaria com certeza!"
"Great arrival in the speedboat to a very warm welcome, quick check in with a refreshing towel and drink. Premium beach room was excellent, very easy access to the beach and enough coverage of foliage for when you need a little shade. Food and service excellent, alcoholic drinks a little expensive but you know that on a resort. All in all very magical trip, so magical we have added 3 days in a water villa to experience that. Special mention to Rafaah on reception who is very helpful and looked after us from day 1 and also Akmal at breakfast and dinner who has been excellent throughout our stay, all and all wonderful paradise to have spent time here. Thank you to everyone who makes the place tick over seamlessly.
A very happy couple"
"We stayed at the resort for 3 nights. The food was delicious in all the restaurants. We enjoyed Thai cuisine, local cuisine, and international cuisine. The staff went out of their way to meet any and all of our requests. What we enjoyed the most is the calm and relaxing atmosphere of the resort and the proximity to the airport in Male.
We took all inclusive meal plan which worked perfectly for us. The spa facilities are also excellent."
"Dream Vacation Come True: I had been researching traveling to the Maldives for about 3 years. I looked at probably 50 hotels, and finally settled on Oblu Select Lobigili. We were there in July. The weather was mid-eighties and humid. We had the overwater bungalow with a private pool. If you're not sure about the pool - GET IT! We watched sunsets from the pool, and we hung out in the pool when conditions in the ocean didn't allow us to snorkel. We stayed for 1 week, and it was pretty perfect, with a few minor things worth mentioning.
The pros: It was adults only! The overwater bungalow was amazing! Housekeeping kept it clean - they came in the daytime to clean and replenish supplies, and they did a turn-down service at night. The food was outstanding! So many choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Our host, Ruchika, was so kind and helpful. We used WhatsApp to keep in touch, which made it so easy. We got 1 free dinner at the underwater restaurant, which was so fun. We got 1 free snorkeling trip to a nearby reef, which was super fun. We got a free massage as well.
The cons: The ladder leading into the ocean from our bungalow was hard to climb up and down. You had to be in reasonably good shape, and I would have preferred stairs. We booked a star-gazing boat trip, but because they needed a minimum of 6 people to take the trip, and no one else booked it, we didn't get to do it. The floor in the bathroom is super slippery after you take a shower."
