This was our second stay at The Taj, returning after a luxurious and relaxing stay last year and our stay this summer was just as grand! A number of staff remembered us from our last stay and they were just as polite, helpful and professional. The Taj has a large family sized pool, and even when it is quite busy there is still ample space to play pool games as a family without getting in anyone’s way. There are a variety of games and activities in the gaming room which both our boys (aged 11 and 15) enjoyed. My eldest son has a number of dietary requirements and allergies; the resort was made aware of these upon booking and we were reassured, again, that catering the various allergies would not be an issue. The resort is very accommodating! We had two dedicated Chef’s; Chef Ifan and Chef Anoop who specially cooked any meals that my son requested/suggested. They always went out of their way to ensure our son was happy with his meals and asked if he needed anything else. As a parent, eating out and abroad is always a worry, however we did not feel unsettled at all with both Chef’s – thank you to you both and your team. We all had a lovely holiday and did not want to leave; we will be returning again in future for another exceptional stay. Thank you to all the staff at the Taj. Read less

We had a wonderful stay at the Taj Exotica, made even more special by the team’s care and attention to our vegan requirements. A huge thank you to Chefs Irfan and Ihab, who prepared delicious vegan panna cotta desserts along with flavourful quinoa and falafel dinners — truly outstanding. At breakfast, Chef Arjun impressed us with amazing vegan pancakes, rava masala dosa, and bruschetta, all cooked to perfection. We also greatly appreciated the warm and attentive service from Aaron, who looked after us so well each morning. The thoughtful effort put into creating delicious vegan options and the genuine hospitality of the staff made our experience unforgettable. Highly recommended for anyone seeking both comfort and exceptional service. Mr and Mrs Makhecha Read less
