OBLU NATURE Helengeli - All-Inclusive with Free Transfers
10/10 Excellent
"From airport pick up to check in to excursion’s to food to view the resort was superb. We had a villa over the water and woke up each day to amazing views and went to bed after lovely sunsets. Food was high quality for buffet eating and variety was international. Snorkeling was an underwater magical world to see at your leisure. Staff was kind and helpful and clearly enjoy working in such a lovely environment. The resort was just big enough to feel all amenities were there but small enough to still feel boutique."
"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!!"
"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. "
