OBLU SELECT Sangeli - Premium All Inclusive with Free Transfers

Isola meravigliosa, laguna ottima per i bambini, e in poche bracciate si arrivava alla barriera per fare bellissimo snorkeling. Tutto pulito e ben tenuto. Stupendo il bar The Rock al tramonto. Cibo eccellente sia al ristorante self e sia nei 2 ristoranti tematici. Ottima la SPA.

The food and beverage was perfect. The rooms were amazing. The staff was very friendly. The beach was very good.

Horrible checkin process. Extended delays and disorganization. We literally waited over an 1:30 hours in our room when we finally got there for our bags so we can change our clothes and start our vacation.

We stayed in a honeymoon villa and absolutely loved it. The villa and island were beautiful, and the food and drinks were excellent. Sara in Guest Relations was brilliant and really looked after us. The bar and restaurant staff were also incredibly attentive, friendly and helpful throughout our stay.

Very little about the hotel itself. The only slight negative was that some other guests could be inconsiderate, such as being very loud at dinner or playing videos and music out loud on their phones. This occasionally affected the relaxed atmosphere.

Very attentive staff — everyone was friendly and always ready to help. The room was very comfortable, with a cozy bed and a spacious layout, and it was cleaned daily (Beach Villa). You are taken care of from the very beginning. You are welcomed with applause and bodu beru drums by the staff. Someone is assigned to show you around the hotel. The staff in the restaurant—and in fact everywhere—are very friendly. The food and service at the two restaurants included in the Serenity Plan are also very successful. All personal schedules and the hotel’s activity program can be easily viewed through the hotel app. The spa services were also very good. You do not need an alarm to wake up, those tropic birds do that for you :) One of the midday DJ sessions was very enjoyable and clearly showed that many guests were eager to have fun and dance. The sea and the beach are very beautiful. Even though the sand is very fine, water shoes are definitely recommended, as there are coral fragments and small rocks at the entry points that can hurt your feet. Nice colorful fish everywhere, its like swimming in a giant aquarium. We snorkeled every day, but after a few days there was nothing new to discover. Overall, it’s an ideal choice if your main goal is to relax, unwind, and enjoy a calm, laid-back atmosphere, which we did.

Despite the hotel being very beautiful, there were some downsides. The sea in front of the beach villas is crowded with jet skis and boats. Besides spoiling the view, swimming is not really enjoyable because of the boats. It would have been much better if all these watercraft were anchored outside the lagoon. That's why we hung out mostly at the main pool side. We had a villa near the reception, the further side's shore is rather rocky. You will see the boats are cleared (photoshopped) in the official hotel photos. The buffet is around 6/10, except for the Friday gala night, which was exceptional. Although there is food for everyone, I did not find the buffet particularly strong or impressive. Staff was amazing though. Evening activities at the hotel are limited and insufficient. If you are looking for dancing, I would recommend choosing another hotel. The “corner” where live music is played in the evenings is very weak. In a hotel with so few entertainment options, I at least expected a proper stage, but it is basically just a corner with two speakers and a microphone with plain background. The cocktail menu is also weak. Apart from 5–10 drinkable cocktails and wine, there is not much else. For such an expensive all-inclusive hotel, I expected a much stronger bar offering. Unfortunately, the house reef is also dead. Apart from a few colorful corals, everything is rocky and brown. The only colorful things are the fish. There wasn’t much difference during the house reef snorkeling tour either. Do consider that the weather might change every day. We had 2 sunny days out of 5 unfortunately. No additional rainy day activities, so you stuck in the room or sit at the pool bar whole day. Lack of streaming services in the rooms, but not that a big issue for us.
