Wonderful holidays at paradise

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 4 weeks agovia mobile
Wonderful place for winter time escape to summer. Good climate, island and underwater nature. Doesn’t matter if it’s sunny or raining. Hotel team exceeds all expectations: always friendly and supportive. Many-many special thanks to our butler Niheart, SPA therapist Padma, Shaam and Deepak made each dining a special event.

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful resort in the Maldives, and we cannot recommend it enough. The Water Villas are spacious, comfortable, and equipped with all the amenities you could ask for, making it the perfect retreat. The rooms were impeccably clean, and the view from our villa was simply breathtaking.

The resort offers a wide range of services, both complimentary and paid, that made our days full of activities and relaxation. Whether you prefer to enjoy the crystal-clear waters, explore the stunning reef, or indulge in various water sports, there’s always something to do. The reef, in particular, is a highlight—teeming with vibrant marine life, it’s truly a diver’s paradise.

What really set our experience apart, though, was the exceptional staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help and ensure we had the best possible time. A special mention to Ritte, who went above and beyond to surprise us with thoughtful touches in our room, adding a personal and unforgettable element to our stay.

In short, this resort offers the perfect combination of luxury, natural beauty, and outstanding service. We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful resort. Well spaced and comfortable completely relaxing. Great food and drink options and good entertainment options in the evening. Fabulous. Holiday. Twilight fishing was a nice experience. The only minus would be the cost of the jet skis which was quite high.

Very disappointed with the food no choice and run out of food constantly, we got up at 7am to put towels on the sun beds otherwise we would have sat all day on the sand.
The and coffee luke warm and cocktails which should have been complementary were chargeable if they had baileys in them.
We ordered room service 2 club sandwiches and two lots chips which came to £175 absolutely disgraceful, the place itself needs a revamp very tired,
Won’t be returning any time soon!

Room tip: Not enough sun beds and the buffet runs out of food constantly, expect to get up at 7am to get a sunbed also certain cocktails have a charge

We have just returned home from the most incredible 10 nights in OBLU Select.

The island is paradise and one of the most beautiful places we have ever traveled to. The whole Island is beautifully kept .

The water for snorkelling / diving is incredible . We stayed in a water Villa and spent hours snorkelling from our room seeing all the amazing sea life .

Every member of staff is what makes this truly a 5 star resort . Everyone you meet is so friendly and goes above and beyond to make your holiday the best possible .

The food was incredible . The main buffet restaurant served a wide selection of beautifully presented food. The Indian food was the best we have ever tased . The chefs really take pride in their dishes and attention to detail is second to none . Chefs Vijay Saan , Rahul and pastry chef Sridhar were always around asking how the food was and would cook you anything you requested if there was something you wanted that wasn’t available . Being a vegetarian they also offered to cook extra dishes for myself even though there was plenty already available. They cater very well to any dietary requirements and nothing is too much for them. This really sets this hotel apart from other all inclusive we have been to in the past.

Indian Gala night was by far the best night in the restaurant along with NYE gala night . The selection of foods and deserts was incredible and the setting in the restaurant feels really special and relaxed and doesn’t have that ‘buffet’ feel which is really nice .
Moe , Sia and Samiba the restaurant hostesses always welcomed you with a smile and made sure you were seated and looked after promptly , always giving the best service at the start of a meal. We also ate at both of the restaurants just Wok and just grill which again was great meals and lovely cocktails with some slightly different twists from the main bar .

The cocktails / drinks at the main bar where great , they would pretty much make you any cocktail you asked for and the staff where always really prompt with serving you at the bar / beach area , you never felt like you had to ask for a drink as they would always be around asking if there was anything you needed . Madhyn really went over and above to serve us / recommend us cocktails and is a real asset to the bar team, along with Looth who was also really attentive and always had a smile on his face !

Our water villa was cleaned spotlessly twice everyday by Sharefee, who also left us some creative bed art everyday which was a nice suprise ! He always made sure we had everything we needed and made us feel very looked after. The room was amazing , with clear views of the ocean and very spacious, with loads of room for clothes and a really nice big bathroom with shower and bath over looking the ocean.

We also did diving , gym classes , yoga , turtle snorkelling and had massages at the spa all which were great and would highly recommend.
