    The hotel is wonderful!!! The Island is enough to have close to everything, there is a super plan for days, the food is incredible!! We had a Water Villa and it was amazing, stairs to blue water. The people are super friendly and helpful. We regret only that we had been there only for 24 hours...

    Not loads of coral, so not a huge variety of sealife to see. However, snokelling with the baby sharks was a family highlight. The floor in the family room needed some attention as it was lifting up. The water sports and trips are super expensive.

    Amazing food, staff, entertainment - very family friendly. The family room was perfect. The kids' club staff were very experienced and the daily activities were well managed. Arjun was our favourite buggy driver - excellent interactions with our children. We had an amazing 5 days!

    All staff is nice except one female staff was very rude! When we went to the reception to ask for departure arrangement the day before, she just asked us to read the letter in my room at night! She didn’t even answer a simple question like how many hours in advance to arrive airport! We’re face-to-face with her at the reception, she still asked us to go back to our room to read the letter! When we asked for her name, she said she could not tell! Sand not so white & underwear (coral reef/fish) doesn’t look nice in the hotel area!

    Value for money! Love the complimentary unlimited whole day cocktail at the bar. Activities are good too!

    Stay at OBLU Xperience Ailafushi was top-notch.

    There isn't anything that we didn't like except for the fact that we were unaware of the fact that there wouldn't be any bikini free beaches and thought that the resort would've guidance for covering a part of the body, so that made us a bit uncomfortable. As a Muslim, we were just looking for a Hijab friendly place, not that we had a problem with anyone. We enjoyed ourselves in every way possible.

    The whole stay was top-notch. All-inclusive package made things a lot easier. Location: I loved the location as it was close by and took only 15 minutes. Weather: The weather around this season is usually rainy. The resort provide you with the umbrellas so no need to worry about that. We were lucky that our stay didn't have any rain so the weather was real nice and dry ( a bit of humidity too, of course). But, on the morning of the departure, there was a heavy rain and storm. The staff handled the transfer real good. Staff: The staff was friendly and really helpful. Even if we asked the same question a thousand times, they explained well. Food & drinks: The food was exceptional. The variety of the food didn't bore us at all. We took snacks with us, but we didn't eat them because the timings were good and the food was too good and made us full all the time. We loved the drinks at X360 where you can have as many drinks as you want which are included in your stay package. Activities: There were different activities arranged on daily basis by the facility to make keep you entertained. The activities mostly surrounded around the pool and bar. For us, we could not be a part of all those activities because we didn't want mixing with everyone, rather we chilled around ourselves which was fun too. Because there are a lot of places around the resort where you can go and have fun, enjoy and walk around. In-house clinic: Most people might not have an experience for an In-house clinic at OBLU Xperience. But we had to go to the clinic because my husband fell and got scratches on the knee. The medical staff was super nice and the doctor guided us and prescribed us the medicine to apply. Well, amazing thing is that this was all free of cost. I appreciate this gesture.

    Bar wasn't open in the morning when we were ready to check out, and more importantly the All-Inclusive fridge was locked up too (I believe until 10:30am). This meant we couldn't get bottles of water or cans of Fanta on the morning of our check-out, on a really humid day when we were struggling a bit with the heat.

    Amazing staff all round! Great welcome, transfer service, food options were mostly tasty and varied. The pool area was beautiful, and this is just an incredible place to stay for probably 4-7 days of a break. Golf Buggy/Island Shuttle bus was super helpful too, really helped on certain evenings after a long day by the pool/in the bar!

    The administration needs improvement. I’m still waiting for a refund after the hotel cancelled my original reservation, citing a credit card issue. I provided proof the card was charged, but nothing has been resolved. I used the same card to rebook, but getting payment links was a struggle. I’ve travelled to 30+ countries, and this was the most difficult booking experience.

    I really liked that the hotel is conveniently located, which made getting there very easy. (Just 15 minutes away)There was a great variety of food to choose from, which was a big plus. The rooms and the entire hotel were very clean and tidy. But above all, it was the staff that stood out.They were genuinely friendly and always ready to help.

    The food had a variety of international and 2 Asian options Indian /Malaysia. There are options for everyone. The restaurant is huge but not rowdy. The staff are well trained and there are cold fridges situated at specific areas with soft drinks at your disposal anytime of the day and the rooms which are constantly replaced. The rooms were much larger than they looked, better and on the TV there's a you tube option even if you don't want to watch TV channels. For someone like me who prefer the quite life I chose the ocean view villa. Though I was upgraded to a beach villa which I appreciated, I decided to stay put due to the views. The workers are extremely friendly and you have a quite time on one half of the island and the other half, bustling. It suits all as a 4*. For the price and free transfers, it's worth it.

    There’s honestly nothing to dislike about OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi. The short journey by speedboat from the airport is a huge plus, making arrival quick and easy. The resort is perfect for both relaxation and adventure

    OBLU XPERIENCE Ailafushi truly offers something for everyone—whether you’re after lively activities or total relaxation. During my stay in a water villa, I loved spotting plenty of fish and even baby sharks right from my deck. One unforgettable morning, a turtle swam right up to my steps! The vibrant marine life and the flexibility to make your holiday as energetic or peaceful as you want make this resort a fantastic choice for a Maldives getaway.
