We took advantage of the great summer offer for Neu members and was the best decision so far this summer. Right from the checkin we experienced the true Taj Hospitality which is consistent over the years at the various Taj properties that we have stayed. Extremely delighted by the front office staff Ananya offering us a deal on access to the Club Lounge during our stay which was too good to pass. Must say the staff at the lounge Diksha & Tina were exceptional each time we visited during the afternoon Tea as well as the evening Happy Hours. We had our first experience of their SPA, once again availing of the couples massage deal offered on the hotel website and were extremely happy with the treatment and their services. Will look forward to similar deals in the future. Read less

Our stay at Taj Exotica was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm smiles and outstanding service that continued throughout our stay. The lounge was an absolute highlight - the afternoon tea was delightful, and the staff were consistently welcoming and attentive. It was the perfect spot to relax and enjoy some delicious treats. I particularly loved the availability of Indian and British snacks - Samosa, Scones & Masala Chai is a win! The overall service at Taj Exotica was exemplary. From the concierge to housekeeping, to the restaurants and lounge, every staff member went above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable experience. Our room was lovely, with a beautiful view of the pool and beach. It was spotless and provided a serene and luxurious atmosphere. A thank you to the team for surprising my husband with a cake for his birthday - it was a sweet and thoughtful gesture that made our stay even more special. Lastly a very special mention to Sambhaji who went out of his way to ensure we had the best experience. Sambhaji always greeted us with a smile, made sure we were comfortable and kindly offered to extend our stay. Thank you Sambhaji for your hospitality! We can't recommend Taj Exotica highly enough and look forward to our next visit! Read less

You won't regret this hotel as it is tried and tested. Pool is amazing, hygiene was spotless. Beach is super clean. You don't have to wait for cabana. It a nice quite family hotel away from all the hustle and bustle. Breakfast and dinner buffet have a variety of choice. They also have eggless and vegetarian section.
