Taj Fisherman’s Cove Resort & Spa, Chennai

A Green Oasis with Chennai's Best Beach Access My stay at Taj Fisherman's Cove Resort & Spa was wonderful, and I definitely recommend it (a solid 9/10 experience!). The true highlight of this hotel is its commitment to beautiful green infrastructure and expansive, peaceful spaces. It is a genuine oasis. The beach access is direct and spectacular. While the hotel markets it as a "private beach," it is an open beach; however, it is consistently very clean and wonderfully uncrowded, giving it an exclusive feel that is perfect for private time with family. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting at the beach to watch both the morning sunrise and the evening sunset—it felt truly special. The only reason for the slight deduction in my personal score is the room size. The room I paid approximately Rs 20,000 for was quite small. I hope the hotel considers adjusting the pricing for these smaller accommodations. Nonetheless, I would highly recommend this resort to anyone, especially given that Chennai truly lacks good, private-feeling beach locations. This is an exceptional place to hang out and relax.

Nandhini went above and beyond to make our marriage anniversary truly special by arranging a celebration that became the highlight of our stay. Chaitan supported her wonderfully. Rajneesh from Seagull Restaurant was very receptive to feedback and acted promptly, enhancing our dining experience. The Sunday brunch offered a wide variety, far better than the usual buffet. Rooms and overall stay were excellent, up to Taj standards. Will definitely visit again. Thank you

We were upsold a full sea view cottage upon checking in at Fisherman's Cove. As repeat customers we expected some sort of offer but were happy to pay full price. Check in was smooth, as usual the service on a fully packed day was friendly and prompt. The sea view cottage feels heritage and is a small room but compensates with its proximity to the beach. We chilled on the verandah with a snack and masala chai watching the rain before we set off on a walk across the beach while it was being cleaned meticulously. We had a table booked at Bay view where the food and service was as usual great. The outdoor shower under the rain added to the beautiful October ambience in Chennai. We lazed around the next day, enjoyed the fantastic breakfast spread, Nagaraj at the breakfast service was extra helpful topping up our filter coffees. Charles from housekeeping had a chat later and so did the fit lifeguard at the beach. We usually finish up our stay at Fishermans Cove repenting about not planning an extension to our stay, no different this time.

Our recent stay at Taj Fisherman’s Cove Resort & Spa, Mahabalipuram, was an outstanding family experience. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality and warmth of the staff stood out. The check-in process was seamless and staff nandini welcomed with genuine smiles and refreshing drinks. We stayed at beach view room and loved the serene ocean view. Dining options were good and Seagull provided us variety of options . Just a note that order usually takes time so need to plan it accordingly. The pool area and private beach access made it perfect for both relaxation and family fun.Overall, Taj Fisherman’s Cove is an ideal destination for a peaceful family getaway.

The hotel altogether was amazing.the beach is clean.the. Staff is super amazing and cooperative.the rooms are near and clean. However there are a few things that I fell should be changed.we stayed for 2 nights During 2of the days we stayed staff entered our room,although we didn't mind at the 1st time as it was for a surprise bday cake but the 2nd day they took away the pickle we were keeping for our travels.also there were no heating rods in the room , as it is a beach place it is nescsary for drying clothes.the food rather disappointed, 1good thing that we are was the pasta.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at Taj Fisherman’s Cove, Chennai, which was far below the standard expected from a Taj property — especially for an AMEX Centurion booking. I had booked two nights, with the second night upgraded (and paid for) to a Premium Sea Villa. Shockingly, on the morning of my check-in, I was informed that my room was no longer available due to overbooking, even though the property had 8 villas in total and only 5 occupied. This was highly unprofessional and unethical. After much back-and-forth and me firmly refusing to accept a downgrade, they finally gave me the villa — but only at 2:30 PM, after considerable frustration and wasted time. Unfortunately, the issues didn’t end there. • The bathroom had a persistent foul smell throughout our stay, which made it unpleasant to use. • That night, the air conditioning stopped working; even after the technician’s late-night visit at 1:30 AM, it never cooled properly. • To make matters worse, I even found a caterpillar in my bed — completely unacceptable for any hotel, let alone a Taj. The only redeeming aspect was the courtesy and effort of the chefs at Seagull restaurant, who ensured our meals were well taken care of. This stay was far from the luxury and service standards that Taj claims to uphold. The handling of our booking, the room maintenance, and the overall experience were unacceptable. I genuinely believe we should not be charged for the second night given the ordeal we faced. Taj needs to take immediate accountability for this kind of lapse — it’s an embarrassment to the brand and certainly not what loyal AMEX Centurion guests expect.

We went for a family trip (10 ppl). Had issues with the checking-in time and had to wait around an hour. Be there by 2 pm. The rooms were small, but the view was good. Good room service. The swimming pool is nice but only has a depth of 4 feet. The food in the buffet is good. The desserts, I felt, were lacking. Other than that, awesome experience!!

Fisherman’s Cove is a fantastic resort whatever be your reason., they will make it extra special. Most importantly food is exquisite , great ambience and world class Indian hospitality would make it truly 5 Star experience. All day dining in Seagull, serves fantastic food , highly recommend is Biryani, if you are a Biryani lover. Siva Kumar is a great host and made our stay really special.
