Fantastic! Every aspect of this hotel was impressive. My travels the world over have enabled me to experience some great hotels but Taj is way above all these. Staff was exceptional, food and facilities outstanding
Gabriella from United Kingdom (10/10)
Absolutely incredible stay. We were so wowed. We went for our honeymoon and they pulled out all the stops giving us a cake and decorating our room, as well as upgrading to a Sea view. Very impressed and highly recommend booking a Club room as you get a lot of benefits including free cocktails at the Taj Lounge during happy hour and depending if you book a chauffeur driven car to/from the airport one way which really was the icing on the cake. They also presented with us as we came in a beautiful traditional ritual, and these gorgeous scarves as a keepsake. We also got a leaving gift of these painted cards which was gorgeous. If you’re going for a special occasion definitely tell them, very responsive on the app and email.
