Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Goa

Experience was excellent! We loved our stay and everything about this property. The staffs were very accommodating and warm. ||I love that they can customise food options according to your needs. But we have to mention them in prior. ||Would definitely recommend for a relaxing time in Goa.

We just concluded a great weekend at our favorite hotel destination. We have been to so many places and holiday destinations across the globe, but there is some thing special that brings us back to Taj Exotica again and again. Breakfast is rich and plenty to choose. Rooms are spacious and very clean. Wide choice of cuisine to choose from various restaurants. It was great to enjoy and see the rain pouring on the lush green lawns and the rough sea. Overall another memorable sojourn.

Let's start with good things:|* The welcome was v good. The music and welcome drink was a nice touch. |* The room and bathroom size is one of the best in Goa. |* The breakfast option though reduced compared to earlier times was still quite good.|* NARMIN and MALAVICA at kids play area were fabulous. NARMIN is the biggest star of the property and the only reason why we keep on going back to the property again and again. She is very creative and selfless and my kid loves her. Please don't let her go. ||Now the negatives|* The rooms are getting old. The outdoor balconies and rooms require deeper cleaning. |*Most Taj properties including the cheaper ones have complimentary High Tea. Inspite of paying more than 20k per night they don't have. |*Lack of exclusive restaurants in the property which serve international / Indian cuisine like pan Asian, Mediterranean etc. Only one restaurant serving Portuguese food is hardly used by guests.|* Food is extremely expensive and the portion size is also less. |* We are always pushed for purchasing additional activities throughout the resort, hardly any activities are included in the tarriff. For eg: at the kids play area, on entering the first thing the staff (MANAGER- SONALI, STAFF - SONIA) do is sell you different activities which are worth hardly anything for 500+ taxes onwards. These activities were complimentary earlier. ||Overall I found that the property is more inclined in making more money through upsell rather than customer service.

Fantastic property...the hospitality is the best I've seen in any hotel/resort ever...direct access to the beach... Great pool... Activities for kids and families like golf.. cycling...etc...good spread at bfast... Everything is perfect.. They even deliver app based food orders from the gate to the rooms.. This is just too much!! The staff are always helpful and cheerful.. The housekeeping staff is meticulous, kudos to them. The only downside is that since the property is huge, you need a golf cart to go to your room n back...can walk but it's about 500 odd metres... It can get busy at peak times and you may need to wait 5-10min to get one.. Overall the resort exceeded my expectation.. If it's on your radar and price range, don't look further... Just book it n enjoy!

We really loved our stay at Taj , property is huge and lot of things to have fun and amenities and activities are very well curated to be relax and even have fun..!! Perfect place to unwind and relax..!! My kids loved the play area and activity and pool area !!

I wanted to book 1 room for July for 3 nights . As am a Taj Hotel's patronage guest n have been staying since more than 15 years so wanted to book the hotel for stay . I tried to connect with hotel team but was not assisted well . The rates offered by hotel was much higher than special members rate . I finally booked another five star hotel where the hotel team assisted me nicely n promptly !! I hope the GM n Senior Management of Taj Hotels takes corrective measures !!

Undoubtedly the best experience one could have. Beautiful property and humble staff. Absolutely loved the way they can keep the kids entertained with various activities.They have a huge kids area. Breakfast spread is delicious.

Lovely property. The private beach , the pool, the food, the service, the rooms. Everything was the best quality. Indeed a very comfortable stay. Much recommended.
