Guest Reviews
- shabbir (10/5): - I recently stayed at OBLU by Sangeli for my honeymoon, and I can confidently say it was the best experience I’ve ever had at any resort. From the moment we arrived, the level of care and attention to detail was exceptional. Safwan at The Courtyard went above and beyond every single time we dined there. He always ensured we had everything we needed, checked in to make sure we were happy with the cuisine, and even surprised us with thoughtful gifts before our departure. His personality and kindness truly elevated our stay. Niheart gave us a wonderful introduction to the resort, showing us everything it has to offer. Knowing it was our honeymoon, he organized special surprises and memorable private dinners that made our trip feel truly unique and unforgettable. The chefs, Roni and Vijay, deserve special recognition. Every day, they personally checked in with us, ensuring we enjoyed our meals. They even prepared customized dishes based on our requests. Their talent, creativity, and hospitality were unmatched. Our villa host, Kaiom, took incredible care of our room. He was always prompt and respectful, making sure everything was spotless. On top of that, he went the extra mile by decorating our room beautifully with surprises that made our honeymoon even more special. As for the resort itself—it was like living in a dream. The honeymoon suite was breathtaking, with crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life right beneath us. Snorkeling with sharks and colorful tropical fish
- Muhammad (10/5): - Stay was amazing . It’s well designed and well planned all inclusive plan . It includes meals , specialty restaurants and excursions. Staff is polite and welcoming. Also quite accommodating in food for fussy kids …… I would like to appreciate chef Vijay in this regard…. Thank you so much …. Highly recommended
- Alexander (10/5): - Wonderful Service from start to finish The management and staff leave nothing wanting what a wonderful 7 nights stay Snorkeling and diving was brilliant and well worth the food was exceptional and a huge choice covering most tastes
- Jonathan (10/5): - A wonderful stay in an exquisite resort with exceptional staff and fabulous facilities and activities. The accommodation was amazing, over the water with a pool. The bed was so comfortable.
- Carlo (10/5): - Die Insel ist mitlerweile deutlich grüner geworden als es die Standardbilder vermuten lassen. gebucht: Beach Villa mit Pool (Nr 206) Super Zimmer, es hat alles gepasst. Verpflegung lässt an nichts mangeln, selbst Cocktails werden zu den Mahlzeiten zubereitet. Das Personal ist maximal aufmerksam und sehr freundlich.
- sadia (10/5): - Staff were super friendly, rooms were clean, was just overall a great resort to stay at.
- Semih (10/5): - The Hotel is 5 stars and the snorkeling its amazing, costumer service the best! BUT few points to be consider: for the all inclusive just 1 buffet restaurant is included and most dishes are indian (with some burgers, pizza, pasta and 2 other options usually) the other 2 a la carte restaurants the hotel charges extra. The manager was amazing to accommodate our expectations and help to include some a lacarte visit so we could have some variation for the food. 2- make sure about your return flight from Male, the hotel doesn’t offer different time frames for the speedboat return and we ended up missing our last breakfast at the hotel because they putted us in a super early back boat which cause us frustrations. At least they could leave the island at 7:30-8am so we could have a chance to eat properly. But all that they could do to accommodate, they did for us! Special thanks again for the manager who accommodated the food situation, Sam the waiter! And the night cleaner (room 407) he was the best and leave everything in the room soo organized! Thanks for the amazing experience!
- DAVID (10/5): - Wunderschöner Urlaub
- Nixklafe (10/5): - Properties asset and the beach’s were impressive, but let’s talk about the personnel which is the most valuable component for any business and service Mr Sheriff from Egypt gave us the most assertive introduction for an easy landing on the island and property he was very diligent and clear in all our questions Miss Moe for Myanmar was the most professional and lovely person in the entire island she made us very confident advising on location and pleasant places in all areas where she was working, she is very kind and respectful person Miss Sia from Uzbekistan has a natural leadership on his task she was managing all guest in a very professional manner I also saw her managing complex situation with problematic guest and she never lost the good actitud and respect she is a very good team leader Mis Edina from Sri lanka is very professional and frankly speaker she has everything in time for all customer always with a smile Mr Dilanka from Sri Lanka oh my friend he was wonderful sever he made my nights happy his suggestion always assertive he knows all the menu in all restaurants Miss Chamini from Sri Lanka this lady has gold and diamond in her hands oh my gosh I feel very relaxed during the massage therapy if you really want to visit the heaven please go to Oblu Sangeli SPA Mr Kamal is an active chef very profesional with high commitment and ownership on his task he passed for all tables asking for quality assurance, all food where OUTSTANDING, The best!
- Omar (10/5): - If we could give a 10-star rating, we absolutely would! From the moment we arrived at the resort until the day we left, the service was nothing short of exceptional. Everything—from the delicious food to the friendly staff and well-organized activities—was outstanding. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
- Verified traveler (10/5): A little piece of paradise - Absolutely loved our stay at Oblu Sangeli, it is a little piece of paradise. The rooms were incredible, the marine life and snorkelling around the island was amazing and the staff were brilliant. We had an amazing time!
- Amr (10/5): - Staff
- Neal (10/5): - Fabulous holiday. The service provided by the staff is outstanding. The food is amazing with great variety and choice. Management are visible Our villa was immaculate and well maintained
- CHIE (10/5): - 水上コテージを利用しました。コテージから海に入って、数メートル先がドロップオフになっていて最高！ 5度目のモルディブですが、コテージからドロップオフの近さはNo.1でした。 食事については、ブッフェにもう少し工夫があってもいいかなと思います。朝食、昼食は同じところで取ったので、5泊するとさすがにワンパターンで飽きてきたなと。 それでも、海は素晴らしいし、スタッフもいい感じの方が多いので、行く価値あります。 個人的には、再訪したいなと思っています。 爪切り（貸出なし）、室内用簡易スリッパはないので、持って行ったほうがいいと思います。
- Lilia (10/5): - This place was heaven on earth! It was the best snorkelling I’ve ever seen! The staff were all go gracious! The food had so much variety and was absolutely delicious! I would recommend that they remind guests upon arrival to not stand or touch the coral. I saw a lot of damage and dead coral - and literally witnessed people standing on coral - of course I yelled to them to get off - but they didn’t seem to understand English. I feel that telling all guests at the arrival meeting is imperative. I would LOVE to return to this resort! 10 out of 10 for sure!
- Aylin (10/5): - Excellent experience in paradise
- Satya Prakash (10/5): - The resort is in excellent location and has all facilities on site. Once you are on island you no need to go for anything as it was all inclusive everything was included. Cleaning of the property was excellent. They clean multiple times in a day and facilities in property are also good.
- Lazaro (10/5): - This resort has the best water villas, you will all kind of fish, shark and mantas next to your villa.... just swim up on your own pool and watch!!! this is a paradise!
- Ronald (10/5): - The experience was amazing and the staff was terrific. my family really enjoyed the activities, the service, the privacy, etc.
- Anna (10/5): - Wir können die Hotelanlage Oblu Select Sangeli wärmstens empfehlen. Weil folgende Punkte Top waren: Sehr freundliches Personal Gute Qualität des Essens, welches auch geschmeckt hat Sehr gute Cocktails, nicht so wie bei anderen All-Inclusive Hotels Serenity-Plan ist deshalb wärmstens zu empfehlen Super schöne Insel mit eigenem Korallenriff Top Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis Wasservilla sehr schön eingerichtet Transfer inbegriffen und ist reibungslos abgelaufen Es war das erste Mal auf den Malediven und wir sind sehr begeistert von diesem Resort und deshalb kommen wir gerne wieder.
- Farhad (10/5): - Great from all aspects. Will surely return.
- Luis Carlos (6/5): NORMAL HOTEL - The arrival was received by hotel staff and was quick, but I waited more than an hour for a boat to take us to the hotel (it takes an hour to transfer) note 7, the villa on water is nice, spacious, clean, the bathrooms are beautiful . but not spectacular in general note 8). The only buffet restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner is little varied, repetitive and standard (note 6) There is an Asian restaurant and another a la carte grill with reservation, generally good (note 8). The staff is very friendly, grade 9, the activities depend on the weather, (do not go in the rainy season, it is not worth it, it rains a lot, and they cancel tours. The hotel accepts children, not advisable for couples alone. Overall a Average-Good hotel, Score 7.5
- Cody (10/5): - Everything about here was phenomenal!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Staff were wonderful, resort was beautiful, loved our stay!
- Jaquaya (10/5): - Everything was amazing!
- Marco (10/5): - Great place! Fantastic vacation! Special thanks to sham and Janina. The food at buffet was very good. But the restaurants Gril and wok are the best. The room 604 was fabulous and the best thing is that you can do snorkeling in the best spot of the island. We will definitely go back…..
- Callum (8/5): Mostly excellent. - Great stay. Great service. Only downside was availability of buggies to/from villas was erratic at best. Also, rarely any vegetarian main meals cooked at the buffet lunches and dinners. So, as a veggie, you’re left to eat side dishes.
- Anna (10/5): - Paradise. Most relaxing holiday ever!
- Christian Rafael (10/5): - Great stay very friendly staff
- Sandra (10/5): - Island is stunning. Staff are friendly and welcoming
- Ramanjot Kaur (10/5): - Best lifetime experience ever
- Mariana (10/5): - The attention and courteousness exceeded my expectations and were very impressive from the restaurant staff to the room attendant. I would definitely recommend this place and will stay here again in the future.
- Aashay (10/5): - The place, the people, hospitality, everything is top notch. Food tastes amazing and it does have a lot of vegetarian options
- Suresh (10/5): - Loved the water villa.vit is like an aquarium in your backyard.
- Barry Malcolm (10/5): - Super experience. Staff and facilities were amazing. Great food, great drinks, and a beautiful location.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Paradise on earth - Everything is perfect here, from the moment of arrival, the over the water villas, delicious breakfast/lunch/dinner bufes, amenities, intinerary and programs. The staff is extremely attentive, kind, always at your service and always greets you with an honest smile. We had an amazing time, thank you Oblu Select Sangeli!
- Sunil (10/5): - I loved staying at Oblu Select Sangelli. The service was excellent. The staff were very friendly and prompt in everything. I am so impressed with their entire service. Probably the best behaved and respectful environment I have vacationed in. There was an entire station for Indian food during all three meal times. The drinks selection was pretty good. Just the walk to our water villa got a bit tiring. I thoroughly loved being here and highly recommend them. Super five star experience.
- Edward (10/5): - We had a lovely holiday
- Rachael (10/5): Paradise, lush, perfect, loved it! - I honestly though some of the reviews about this place must be fake, they were all so amazing, but I think they must all be true, because this place is EXCELLENT! The food was delicious, beautifully presented, incredibly varied (amazing curries!). Great selection of international brand drinks, good wines, and a varied and fun cocktail menu with daily additions, equally mocktail as well as cocktail. The service was excellent with super friendly and helpful staff. Special mention to Michael at the bar for friendliness and fun and to Parivesh for amazing yoga lessons every morning looking out over the Indian Ocean (he taught me how to do a head stand!). The island is like a little slice of paradise, communal areas are kept super clean and well maintained. Lots to keep everyone busy: kayak/paddle, water excursions, pool table, beach volleyball, pool table, water slide The accommodation was lovely - we had a water villa, sitting on top of the house reef: amazing snorkelling every day just down the steps from our terrace. The 50 min boat transfer from the airport was well organised and really comfortable. And they have a great reef conservation programme - don't miss the Coral Reef Doctors talk and please consider adopting a turtle! We really didn't want to leave. We consider it really great value for money for the wonderful experience. It met and then exceeded our expectations. Thank you for a wonderful holiday. We'll be back if ever the opportunity arises for sure!
- Bernard (10/5): - Our visit to Oblu select Sangeli Maldives without a doubt was the most extraordinary vacation we ever experienced. The staff was extremely friendly and restaurants and the overwater villas were amazing and our team leader MJ deserves the special thanks. We would like to give kudos to Riza, Svetlana, Essy, Edina, Lyndon Charlie, Eugene and Waheed praises for the making our stay exceptional. We spent 5 wonderful days there which added up to the total experience and will gladly do it again. A visit to Elena spa will make you feel whole again and the staff were very kind. This island of paradise with its natural beauty will have you mesmerized and we would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for the total experience in worldwide travel
- Ann Frances Marie (10/5): - A very good deal for an all inclusive resort for our first time in the Maldives. We had a very enjoyable stay at Oblu Select. The biggest thing for me was the house reef. We highly recommend this resort!
- MICHAEL (10/5): - Nice island
- John (10/5): - Best
- Lauren (10/5): - My husband and I just returned from an 8-night stay at Oblu Select Sangeli for our honeymoon. Our stay was nothing short of extraordinary – we enjoyed every second! After countless hours of research on not only places to go around the world, but also hundreds of resorts (and excel sheets comparing everything we wanted), we landed on Oblu Select Sangeli and I am so glad that we did. The property itself is a dream. We stayed in a Beach Villa for four nights and the Overwater Honeymoon Suite for four nights. Both were phenomenal! The foo
- Jan Frederic (10/5): - Simply put, a paradise.
- RICHARD PAUL MICHAEL (10/5): - Wonderful experience and superb accommodation
- Wei Ming (10/5): - My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the excellent service :)
- Venkatesh (10/5): - Excellent property with a very friendly and attentive staff.
- Mauricio (10/5): - Beautiful location, excellent facilities, service and food
- daniel (10/5): - Amazing resort, excellent food & beverage choices on a perfectly located island not far from the airport but still offers perfect seclusion with a fantastic house reef, water-sports & daily entertainment.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing resort with marine life - Everything about this resort is amazing. Love the entire experience and always felt welcome by the staff!
- Camila (10/5): - We have travelled the world and enjoyed many wonderful resorts in our trips but this is definitely one of our favorite as it is a unique small resort that offers so much. The resort and grounds are really well kept and full of unique details that made it so special - from great water pressure in the rooms, good mini bar selection, great variety of food, vegetables and fruits and great linens and towels to outstanding service by all staff members. We were 2 couples traveling and loved everything about the amenities. The staff is very helpful and always willing to help with anything you need (something customer service in America needs to learn from the Maldivians for sure). Monica, the manager took really great care of us as well as the Chef Shiva and bartender Sally during our entire stay. Any issues or request you may need, they will work to attend or accommodate your needs. The water and views are breathtaking. We had an overwater vila with a private pool overlooking the bay and enjoyed having coffee every morning in our deck and being able to go for a swim right off the deck. There was no need to go anywhere far to see the beautiful sea life as it was right in front of us anywhere in the island. We got to see several species and even some sting rays. Tips: Bring water shoes, lots of sunscreen, Electrolites in case you get de-hidrated, and meds you might need (in my case, Dramamine was helpful when getting the boat ride to and from resort as it might get super bumpy at
- Verified traveler (10/5): - My wife and I loved Oblu. The staff would do anything they could to make your staff amazing.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff at this resort us amazing!!! They are very accomdating, no matter what is needed. We definitely enjoyed ourselves and will come back
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Good hotel with nice services , mocktails are amazing , food need more varities and to add snack all day in the sereity plan No A/C in bathrooms and resturants
- Craig W (10/5): PBs trip to Oblu Select May 2021 - This is the second time that we have stayed in one of the Atmosphere resorts (the last being Varu). Both have been fabulous holidays with great food, great service and great accommodation. The staff are really fantastic and you feel totally relaxed within minutrs of stepping off the boat. We were extremely well looked after and the snorkling around the reef was amazing. Managed to see 5 turtles during one guided trip. Would love to go back.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - No complaints! Would recommend them to add room service to the amenities but if you dont mind leaving the room to eat it shouldn't be an issue.
- Rowaida (8/5): Amazing Customer Services and Great activities - The number 1 thing about this resort is the service. A huge thank you to our bar tenders Thirupathi and Charles, our waitress Leyan (I.Y.N) and to Visham who was the house keeper attending to our room every day and did our turn down service. The dinner buffets had a great variety of food and the two a la carte restaurants were delicious. We love meat and were hesitant to eat at the Simply Veg restaurant but it turned out to be the best meal there. The Elena spa massages were also great. The breakfast buffet can do with more western choices and the bar menu at the Banyan Tree bar is limited. Loved the Banyan Tree bar but thought it lacked atmosphere and didn't have any vibes. The overwater sunset villa with pool was perfect. It rained a lot so spent a lot of time in the room. Was very comfortable and stylish. A side table on the room balconies would be good to as we spent a lot of time out there and could have used a table. Will definitely recommend. Well done to all the staff you do an excellent job. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
- Vaibhav (10/5): Totally recommended - Amazing trip
- Marjorie (10/5): Highly recommended for an amazing vacation - The place was amazing, It was really worth it. The service was exceptional, the room had an amazing view for the sunset and all the time was clean. The reef was near to the water pool villas and also in the main beach, we could do snorkeling and saw amazing kind of fishes. We were satisfied with everything concern with the resort. The Dive center which we think it’s an external company was terrible, poor attention and we rented a water camera which didn’t have enough battery when we did the snorkeling trip and they didn’t solve our problem and the service was poor all the time even giving the equipment to us. Oblu select is very nice place to spend a wonderful time. Highly recommended!
- ErickSilva (10/5): - What dream my wife and I had at OBLU. The staff are in hight level of treatment and organization with the customers, the food is good as well with 4 restaurants and some bars around the village . Thank you all for this amazing experience
- Anthony (10/5): - The staff were fantastic! The resort itself was beautiful and clean.
- Mark (10/5): Great stay - The place was amazing and will be back to the Maldives in the future. The only things that I can mention that weren't great was the service of drinks. you have to wait a long time for them to bring them to you and most of the time the order was wrong. Also the water sports which are extra (which is fine) are SUPER expensive. Overall we had a fantastic holiday, the pace was beautiful and the water villa with pool was amazing.
- Victor (4/5): - Very bad kitchen ! Very long wait for the car to get to the restaurant.
- MaureenS (2/5): - Food was terrible. Nothing special was done or accommodated for honeymooners. The water was tap, they were refilling used bottles. They barely filled the refrigerator. They only gave us 1 bag of chips for snacks. Overall horrible horrible horrible. It’s sad this is how we had to spend our honeymoon and end the trip 6 days early!
- Lyndsay (10/5): - Amazing property!! Wonderful staff and food! We had the best time and will definitely be returning!!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing Stay, great Staff, very good food, and awesome Villas.
- Ahmed Fadi (10/5): Honeymoon paradise - Fantastic hotel for honeymooners. From great service to outstanding early check in in an alternative villa, to great design and amenities in honeymoon villa over water to delicious food in every meal ...everything was just outstanding and more than expected. Highly recommended.
- Mr J P (10/5): First class service/ stay - highly recommended - Stayed in one of the Honeymoon Water Suites between 2nd Jan and 11th Jan 2020 and the whole stay was absolutely first class from the moment we arrived to the moment we checked out. The room was finished to a very high specification and had a large private terrace and infinity pool with steps down to the Indian Ocean below right on to the reef with some fantastic snorkeling opportunities. The three restaurants were all excellent and the buffet had a different theme each night to keep things interesting. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
- Gabrielle (10/5): Honeymoon Oasis - This resort was 10/10 on everything. From cleanliness of the resort, to service, to comfort, to food and drink selection. I just recently went with my husband for our honeymoon for 5 days and I can't say enough of how they made us feel like kings and queens. We got to experience both the beachfront villa and the overwater villa with the pool. The cleaning staff was there multiple times a day to make sure our room was free of sand, full of water, and our bed was made. The rooms were spacious and the decor made us feel like we were on an island oasis. All of our meals were delicious and fresh from the buffet and the specialty restaurants. All of our cocktails were made with love and were absolutely delicious. If I ever make it back to the Maldives, I would stay here again hands down. I HIGHLY recommend this resort to anyone for a hassle free paradise!
- Victor (10/5): - This was more than a resort but felt like a paradise dream home. It is truly a gem and by far made for the best vacation my wife and I have ever had. The best part of it all the property was just the start of amazing experience. Very new amenities, clean beaches, amazing food, and by the end of week staff were more like friends and family.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Careless of guest pleasure Poor service First day at reception let guest 8 person to walk more than 500 m. with Hotest whether to find they room by themself no staff to go no advise how to use room . But another guess who come 2 person have a car to send them. Welcome drink give me alcohol no ask guest who is no drink alcohol. The resterant is not allow to eat seperrate , Staff told me have to wait until 8 person before order food. Firstday Slider is open, but the day later is not open. So disappointed I wanna take picture with cayak-boat I pull it to the sea but staff pull it from my hand and tell me it’s close now I have to come back 13.00 pm. So it is no service mind just 1 short to take a picture , Sure I no go to see them again ————————
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Spent 7 days and 6 nights in the Honeymoon suite for our honeymoon. We felt like we were pampered the entire weeks stay. I did not know that we would have our own butler the whole entire stay. Gave us a personal cell phone to our butlers. They were available 24/7 for us. The room was cleaned twice a day. The property was very clean and all of the staff members were extremely friendly and went out of their way to make sure our stay was memorable. The food at The Grill was 5 star hands down. The breakfast buffet was very good with great verity of foods. The bartenders were very knowledgable and did not have one bad drink on our stay. The gym was very nice and had everything you needed on hand. We highly recommend getting a massage at the spa. One of the best massages we both have ever had hands down. The ocean life around the island was beautiful. The reef did not have the best look to it but the amount of fish around the reef made up for it. We would recommend taking the turtle reef excursion to snorkel with the sea turtles. We hope to make it back in the near future. Especially after September when it becomes a 5 star resort.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - lovely place to go to compared to 5 other islands its ticks all the boxes !The best thing is having a child free island too! The staff made the holiday and Jeorge the GM was fabulous,on our last night they gave us a table in a big heart for the evening.....very special!
- Emilie (10/5): - Oblu was wonderful from start to finish. Everything was thought of: The water spiget to rinse your snorkeling gear on the deck, the fresh beach towels twice a day, the thougyful recognition of our honeymoon. Delicious food, refreshing drinks,and and amazing service. We're already planning our return!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff are super nice, always with a smile and ready to help you
- Wai Man (10/5): Paradise!! - This was the second time we were in Maldives and this time we picked Oblu select as it was newly established in July 2018 and was accessible by speed boat i.e. more flexible travelling time between the airport and the resort. We stayed at one of the water villas for 6 nights with their Serenity all-inclusive plan. Everything was just perfect. Amazing sea world just beneath the water villa and it was just a few steps away from our deck. Lots of different kinds of fishes and corals. We even managed to see sea turtle, sting rays and baby sharks. The all inclusive plan allowed us to eat and drink anytime anywhere. All meals are served as buffet style at the main restaurant. There was a large selection of food and they were well prepared of high standard. The food menu changed so we had something new to look forward to everyday. Staff were very professional and friendly. A big warm welcome by Cara at the reception when we arrive. Special accomplishment to the restaurant host Firu - she was so energetic and made us smile the first thing every morning. We’d also want to praise Adam who made us feel welcome and privilege for all the meals when he was around and Adnan - the chef who was so enthusiastic and innovative about food. Our return flight was at 9pm, although check out time was at mid day, they let us stay at the hotel until late afternoon to enjoy the last bit of paradise before we head back and that was very generous of them.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Perfect relaxation. An ideal holiday doing absolutely nothing and looked after like royalty
- Verified traveler (10/5): - All staff were friendly and accommodating. Honeymoon suite was perfect. We were fed very well. Everything we asked for was catered for.
- Carol (10/5): Amazing Resort - Just had a 9 night stay at Oblu Select at Sangeli. We stayed in a water villa overlooking the lagoon. I cannot recommend this resort highly enough. It is a beautiful island with excellent swimming, water sports and snorkeling. Vast array of tropical fish right off you balcony. Our water villa was contemporary furnished, had a spacious bedroom with large windows to make the most of the views. The dressing room has ample storage and luggage rack. The bathroom was huge with a large bath with views over the lagoon, a large walk in shower, separate toilet and a seating area. The main dining area has a food court with a large choice of international and Asian cuisine. It is buffet style with the added bonus of ‘live’ food stations offering additional pasta dishes and freshly cooked eggs. The seating is in beautiful pavilions plus a contemporary ‘round’ area. The chefs will always prepare something special for you, such as vegan options. Connected to the main island via the board walk / water villas, is a small adults only island with 6 honeymoon water villas, an adult only swimming pool and the spa. Here you will find 2 further restaurants - ‘Simply Veg’ and ‘Just Grill’. 2 evenings dining here is included in the All-Includive package, as are the non-motorized water sports. What enhanced this holiday was the amazing team of staff, from the management to the restaurants staff and housekeeping. Thank you to Sri and all the staff at Oblu. We hope to visit again very soon.
