I stayed at the Taj Exotica Resort & Spa on The Palm, Dubai, for my 45th birthday in April 2024, and it was a wonderful experience. I traveled with my mother, and from the moment we arrived, we felt completely relaxed and pampered.
The location on The Palm is amazing, with beautiful views of the Arabian Gulf and the Dubai skyline. Our room was comfortable and stylish, with a private balcony that was perfect for taking in the view.
The food at the resort was delicious, with plenty of choices to suit all tastes. Every meal was a treat, and the staff was always friendly and attentive.
A special mention goes to Suranga, who looked after us so well on the beach. He was always there to help, and his service really made our time by the water extra special.
In the lounge, Po Po and Vivian were fantastic. They made sure we felt welcome and comfortable throughout our stay.
Overall, the Taj Exotica gave us a truly memorable birthday holiday. The staff, location, and service were all excellent. I can’t wait to visit again!
