Amazing stay where we were taken care of like from family. We felt like home from day 1 till the end of our stay. I would recommend this hotel 10/10. Excellent care from stuff, tasty food, clean room and perfect atmosphere. If going back to the Palm we would choose Taj Exotica Hotel again.

Its the second time we have have stayed at the Taj in 2 years. This is now an annual trip as we love the hotel and everything about it. Staff were brilliant, especially before staying you are put in touch with your personalised concierge. We had Vikas who was great at ensuring the room was organised the way we wanted it as well as our restaurant reservations. Even throughout the stay, we contacted him through whatsapp and everything was done for us. We also saw so many familiar faces - Faith who was promoted from our last visit, Shubnum who is now at Varq (the best indian restaurant anywhere in the UAE!) as well as many new faces who were very attentive to us. All in all, we would definitely recommend that any visitor stays here - make sure you also book the business lounge access - afternoon tea and then cocktails for a few hours with incredible hot and cold snacks - well worth the additional fee! You wont regret it. This place is great for all - couples can have a great time as well as lots to do for families with children of all ages. Thanks to everybody there again and we look forward to coming back next year! Read less
