Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Goa

We recently stayed at Taj Exotica Goa and the experience was truly beyond imagination. The property is stunning — beautifully designed with thoughtful touches that cater to every guest’s need. Right from the moment we arrived, the lavish welcome set the tone for an unforgettable stay. The check-in process was seamless, our requests like early check-in were fulfilled without any hassle, and every interaction with the staff was marked by warmth and attentiveness. What truly stood out was the impeccable hospitality. Every staff member we interacted with was not only courteous but also exceptionally confident and proactive — a reflection of world-class service. The activities curated by the resort were engaging and well-planned, and the private beach was pristine and inviting. Our room, with a garden view and private plunge pool, was simply breathtaking — it genuinely felt like a slice of the Maldives in Goa, with every comfort and detail thoughtfully provided. The food quality and service at the restaurants exceeded our expectations, making every meal a delight. Every part of our stay — from the luxurious room to the serene surroundings — was managed so smoothly that we felt completely at ease. This was undoubtedly one of our most memorable vacations and we are already looking forward to visiting again soon. Thank you to the entire team at Taj Exotica for crafting such a wonderful experience!

The rooms are spacious and have been maintained perfectly. The room service is a bit slow, maybe because the rooms/ cottages are spread over a large area. The buggies also take some time reaching the rooms/cottages to pick up for the same reason. The food was just superb, right from well breakfast buffet, lunch and dinner. It's a true pleasure to walk around the property and enjoy the ambience. They also offer many games for the guests The pool is definitely the icing on the cake. Truly enjoyed the pool. Highly recommended.

Stayed for 3 nights, 4 days at Taj Exotica, Goa — beautiful property, amazing location, with a few suggestions The sea view rooms were excellent — spacious, clean, and luxurious. The resort's location is unbeatable, easily comparable to St. Regis, and much larger and more scenic than Holiday Inn. The staff throughout the resort were warm, polite, and always greeted us respectfully, which made the stay feel truly premium. Dinner service was exceptional — we especially loved the dinner buffet and the Portuguese restaurant. The food was delicious, though we found the staff at the Portuguese restaurant to be a bit less welcoming than elsewhere in the resort. That said, there are a few things that could be improved: The breakfast buffet was surprisingly limited for a 5-star resort —items like porridge, Kanji being there in breakfast 🥲 but not even a basic chicken curry. asked for a chicken sandwich which never came.. But they did pack us food for travel while leaving the hotel. Service during breakfast was slow, likely due to being understaffed, which led to delays even for simple requests like cutlery or tea. The fruit bowl in our room was never replenished after the first day, which felt like a small oversight. We also weren’t informed about the complimentary experiences like daily yoga — we only found out after checkout. Baby food was on point freshly made and delivered to our room, Thank you very much for that. Still, the dinner staff were much more attentive, probably because they had more people on duty. A suggestion: if more staff could be allocated to breakfast service, it would balance the experience beautifully. Overall, a wonderful and relaxing stay, and I’d definitely return — just with hopes of a bit more polish in the breakfast and communication areas.

Our family stay at Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Goa, from 13th June to 19th June 2025, was exceptional. The lush 56-acre property, with its Mediterranean charm, offered luxury and serenity. Check-in was seamless with warm staff and refreshing welcome drinks. The staff had arranged a small cake & a greeting card as we are celebrating our 25th year of marriage. Miss Ninotschka the loyalty manager met us on our arrival at the Hotel. Throughout our stay she kept checking on our wellbeing and was very helpful. Our two Deluxe Garden View Rooms were spacious, clean and perfect for our family.|Dining at the Goanese speciality restaurant was delightful, with diverse options. Executive Chef Jose, Goanese Chef Poornima & Mr Reuben Ramos were most exceptional. The breakfast buffet was outstanding. The pool, kids’ activity center (Shonali & Narmin are doing a great job) and private beach kept everyone entertained . |The only minor issue were the flies in the restaurant during breakfast, probably a seasonal thing , though the staff were trying their best to ward them off. Overall, Taj Exotica delivered a perfect family vacation. Highly recommended and we can’t wait to return !

The stay was very good starting from check in , welcome cake celebration with the beautiful song from the guitar guy. The property is very beautiful with greenery everywhere. The services including housekeeping and in room dining were excellent with Avinash from that team checking everyday if we would require anything additional. Food was delicious with very good spread in breakfast and dinner. In addition the amenities provided by the resort is very good including games like pool , TT, badminton, football and cricket. The cycling part was just amazing where you can simply cycle through the property taking in fresh air from the lush green trees and beach near by. Also there were activities arranged by staff in the evening which was very enjoyable. Overall, a great experience and would definitely recommend this property for everyone.

We booked two days stay in Taj exotica , Goa and here are few points which I want to mention- 1. Beautiful property- it has beautiful garden and private beach. The area in the back side of sea facing rooms is very good 2. Poor housekeeping service- I didn’t find it good enough to keep things clean 3. Dampened lift- they have only one lift and as soon as you enter into the lift, it has smell of dampness and when I saw beneath it, the basement was fully covered in fungus. God knows what will happen to lungs of a diabetic person if he enters into that lift. It is serious health hazard. 4. Bedbugs- when I was roaming around , I saw few mattresses kept outside one room. I and my husband noticed that there were lots of bedbugs into that mattress. I am not sure but maybe those were for disposal; but I couldn’t sleep that night peacefully in our room. 5. Good food- Yes, we loved the food here. It is good. I still feel that according to services , it is overpriced.

Phenomenal Hotel Experience, coupled with Extra-ordinary hospitality. Enjoyed the tastiest Jain Food made to order for Breakfast and Dinner buffet by Chef Ganesh, Naveen and Biswarup and Amar. They ensured everything was perfect and as per our prefernce. The staff in the hotel ensured that that everything was up to the mark and infact beyond par I would say. I will love to specially mention them- Velroy, Ram, Ankita, Kimberly, Palehir, and Dheer you people made our stay more special. |Last but not the least the house-keeping staff was also extra-ordinary. |We would definitely like to visit here back.

Located in South Goa the Taj Exotica offers you a five star, well curated and relaxing atmosphere. From great hospitality to beautifully maintained grounds and easy access to a very nice beach are some of the plus points the place has to offer. The morning breakfast offers you a great range of foods to choose from but I must say that the coffee was terrible and unfortunately those very courteous youngsters attending to your every need had no idea how to make a good cappuccino. Rooms are comfortable and the balcony offers a nice green atmosphere. The rooms are attended twice daily ( some may find this annoying), but I did find a cockroach in the room. Unfortunately the place is far from almost all the worth visiting place in Goa. Taj also offers variety of activities for all ages and has a great spa. So if relaxation is your priority this is the place for you.
