"Loved the feeling of being on a secluded, peaceful island that felt authentic in design and decor rather than like a Westernized modern hotel. The staff were incredibly nice. There was a variety of delicious and fresh food everyday. The sea activities were plentiful. The massage at the spa was deeply restful and high quality. We stayed at three different places in the Maldives and this was our favorite. "

"This resort is incredible. The water is crystal clear, the marine life is everywhere, and the staff are super friendly and go out of their way to make your stay better. Lots of activities available and enough places to just "be" that it never, ever feels crowded. "

"Very small island 100m x 500m.
Great villas on the beach
Great buffets
Free snorkelling on boat twice a day
Amazing pool
Not many excursions, so 3-5 days is plenty
Very relaxed pace."

"The transport was spot on the hotel managed it based on my arrival time and there was no waiting around.
The whole experience at the hotel from staff, the over water villa itself, cleaning, the resort transportation with the buggy service etc the food at the restaurants and the excursions were amazing.
I cannot fault the hotel at all.
Would love to go back sometime."

"Our stay at Baros Maldives for our honeymoon was nothing short of perfection. The island’s pristine beauty and incredible house reef made our trip truly special, but what made it unforgettable was the world-class hospitality. We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to our butler, Sam, whose attentive and seamless service took care of our every need throughout our stay. Special thanks also go to Totto and Umak at the restaurant, whose warm, gracious hospitality and wonderful dining service...

OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi - All Inclusive with Free Transfers
8/10 Good
"The resort was nice and our water villa was awesome. The room has all the amenities we expected, and the staffs were very friendly and helpful. However, the food was a little disappointing, only one restaurant/one bar was in the all-inclusive plan. The food was similar every day for lunch and dinner, not many choices. Breakfast was ok. The underwater restaurant is a must try (a little expensive).
Not many water sport choices and prices were a little high. Spa was good.
It is a very good place for relaxing!"
"We had an amazing time from landing at the airport. Well organised pickup and drop off service. On reaching the resort we were received by friendly host Laisha who took us on a tour of the property. Very polite and well spoken she gave us a detailed description of the amenities and services. The property is very well maintained considering its one of the first resorts in Maldives.Ranjith our house keeper was very meticulous, attended twice a day and replaced towels and water bottles. We had three elderly people and the buggy service was usually prompt. The catering Somnath and the rest were outstanding with live music which added to our wonderful experience. The waiters Tharun,Omkar, Salman were outstanding in their service. They made it a very memorable experience.Thank you🙏"

"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."
"What an incredible place! The views, the peace, the sheer beauty, everything was all we wanted and more. The staff are incredibly helpful and the kindest we have ever encountered. Naseem was our island host who felt more like a friend, helpful, attentive and caring. Ravi, the cleaner for our beach villas was faultless! He works so hard and kept everywhere pristine, was always happy and left beautiful decorations on our bed using grass reeds! Puja, our favourite waitress in the market, took care of our family of six at every meal time. There are so many people to thank for our amazing stay! We will be back again one day! We miss everyone and everything about this place. If you are undecided where to go, Joy Island should definitely be somewhere you pick!!"
