Good 5 star

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 14 May 2021via mobile
This is a good 5 star resort ( I devide Maldivian resorts into good, luxury and super luxury). It’s Serenity All Inclusive plan offers almost everything one needs. Decent choices of the food, buffet style. Wines served in dining room are very poor quality. Also a waiters serving drinks extremely slow, often we got our drinks 30 minutes after our order. Very nice people among staff. Nice main restaurant, good size of villas. Only 2 times 45 minutes spa treatments available. Unfortunately the beaches are not very clean (plastics, trash) and also the sea is more dirty than on the other islands we have been before. We haven’t seen mantas (no season), we have seen fishes, 1 turtle, some sharks while feeding. No whale sharks swimming, as this is not the area. Villas need some more maintenance. Good thing is, the price is not that high for all inclusive plan. Except for some people in dining room and a room cleaner, there is not personal attachment from the staff, maybe because the island has 137 villas and over 300 guests when full. Anyway we had a good family time as always in Maldives.

Even before we got married, me and my husband had a deal when we started seeing each other. The happy water babies that we both are, we had mutually decided that Maldives will be our first planned getaway. Since then life was a rollercoaster ride, searching for places in the Maldives and planning our trip used to keep us happy and motivated. And after all the wait, we thank our stars now that we decided on Oblu Select at Sangeli.
Right from the moment we stepped in, the small gestures have been winning us over and over.

We were greeted warmly as we arrived by the staff and Mr. Ajay came to speak to us. Little did we know that we had found a great friend in Ajay. We eventually spent evenings talking to him and chilling with him.
We stayed at the Water Villa with pool and Beach Villa with pool for 3 nights each. Lounged for hours at Sangs where we met Ms. Lovely who was always so cheerful. Rock was our favourite sunset place where Roshan never failed to say a cheerful hello and serve the best of cocktails. One Banyan was another beautiful daily lounge place for us. Where we had some of our best meals during the stay and had the tastiest cocktails made by Suresh. Morgan from the Dive Centre was a delight to speak to, she cleared all our doubts patiently and always suggested the best for us.
Every moment at OBLU, be it the DJ night, Fishing, Snorkeling in the cleanest of waters, the Spa..it will all be etched in our hearts forever.
Thank you all for making it beyond delightful for us. Can't wait to be back. :)

The highlights of the trip were the astonishing easy access to the reef which was right below and around us at all times. We could rool out of our beds right into the amazing waters and reef --- ever ready for snorkleing / swimming / seeing the millions of fish - just fantastic. Pitch dark nights (when not full moon) allowed us to see the stars in all their glory. Their "Just Grill" restaurant was an amazing culinary adventure & experience --- superb. The best reefs are on the East side, but we enjoyed snorkeling from our Villa all the way to the Courtyard for meals as regularly as we could. The Private swimming pool for Adults was idyllic and perfect for great Mockltails drinks. Range of Vegeterian options was great too although they could improve on Veg Protein choices. Access to elecric Buggies to transport us from our villa to various corners of the resort during "Hot sunny" times was a great help. Sunset point was a beautiful change of scene....as were the various musical sessions thru our stay. But to top it all -- was their amazing staff who we alwasy felt wanted to do their very best to help make our stay unforgettable. Named individuals who made a huge positive impact to our 11 day stay were:= Divya, Rana, Oscar, Bhatt, Lyndon, Menuka, Rachel, Tatang, Aman, Vishnu, Jeevan, Dipak, Suresh, Chan, Ashraf, Aref, MArina, Firu, Nimmal, Nishan, Sally, Cat, and the snorkeling team.

Room tip: East facing Villa without Swimming pool seem to be the most private and accessible for the best reef for snorkeling.

The resort is really stunning with a lot of exotic trees, fancy villas and great food.
The Fitnes area is located in one of the water villas. We have stayed in the family beach villa with pool. I would advise to select this villa if you are more than 2 persons.
