My family and I's stay at Taj Exotica was absolutely amazing. From the moment that our transfer car arrived, we were treated with 5-star service. The welcome garland was such a special touch. It was my birthday during our stay and the staff made my day so special with a cake. It truly made my day. Every single staff member was kind, generous and helpful. Special mention goes to Susuntha from housekeeping who constantly checked if we needed anything. Moreover, Rishabh and Praglin from the Palm Kitchen made our breakfasts and dinners special. They truly deserve special credit. Rishabh even noticed that my son was sad to be leaving on our last day and got the chefs to make him a special bon voyage pancakes. We truly did not receive this type of service from any other hotel. When I went to personally thank the staff at reception Mr. Bains even came out and spoke to me which I thought was very nice. He even kindly allowed us to extend our checkout time as we had a late flight. Taj Exotica.... this really was a fantastic stay. We did not want to leave, but we will surely be back. Thank you so much for making our stay so special. Read less

We stayed at Taj Exotica Resort at The Palm, Dubai as a family of four for 3 nights and had a truly unforgettable experience. What made our stay even more special was celebrating our son's birthday during our time there—and the resort staff went above and beyond to make it magical. From the start, the staff was exceptionally courteous and thoughtful. On our son's birthday, they surprised us with a cake during breakfast, beautifully decorated our room with another cake in the evening, and even gave him a lovely gift before we left for a day outing. These thoughtful gestures truly touched our hearts and made the day incredibly special for him—and for us. The resort itself is stunning, with a huge pool flanked by poolside bars on either side—perfect for both kids and adults to relax and enjoy. The breakfast spread was impressive every single day, offering a wide variety of high-quality dishes. We also tried in-room dining, which was excellent in both taste and presentation. Overall, Taj Exotica delivered a perfect mix of luxury, warmth, and attention to detail. Highly recommended for families looking for a premium and personalized experience in Dubai! Read less

The moment we stepped in the Indian hospitality started great ambience, great food and above all Great service. Shame about my room that the view wasn’t that great but in all fairness the hotel was very busy but the lack of service did not decrease. Thank you and will be planning to come back again.

We were extremely well looked after by all the staff. Sekh and his colleagues kept our suite immaculate and the staff in the club lounge were incredible. A fantastic stay....we will be back
