I have never had an experience where buffet felt personalized with the attention from him and the team .
He is a star and I hope he imparts this in the team.
As always Taj Hospitality never disappoints and kudos .

We have been enjoying one of our best holidays here! Absolutely enjoying the hospitality and all the lovely staff go over and above to make things happen for you! Vikas has been exceptional in incorporating us for Rakhi and went over the mile to make it happen for our children, enabling us to celebrate our festival of Rakhi/Raksha Bandhan (celebrating siblings). Special thanks to Vikas for making this happen for us, when we are miles away from home and didn't have to miss out on celebrating our culture! Cant go wrong with the Taj! It's truly exceptional.

Aaron and Sudheri - f and b supervisors spot on
Raj - chef works evening and morning exceptional chef ! Knowledge, got us different meals like Punjabi curry, Briyani, shahi paneer specially for request as I’m fully Hindu vegetarian.
Myself, wife 2 kids felt we can only come to Taaj.
As I’m in hospitality and I’m a food and beverage manager my personal truth is I now can’t go any other hotel in Dubai. It’s only Taj for me and proud to be only loyal to this hotel. The standards of training, service is world class !
I came 0445- Mohammed our receptionist got us to room very quickly. Guest services and all reception team every name is trained so well. I can’t wait to go back.
Harpreet Singh and Abdul at the arrival front of hotel are amazing and all your concierge Stephen and all front staff at valley service.
2 years ago I complained then it got sorted. This time I came on arrival and was given an upgrade to avoid me having a bad experience. The beds both were small 2 years ago and Zia Mohammed helped me change room. This time start to finish he checked my stay was great.

It was my staycation experience in Dubai. I chose that hotel randomly and was worried that I will be disappointed. BUT!!! From very begging of my arrival there I was really impressed by care and attention which I was surrounded by all the employees of the hotel . Especially I like administrator: Mr. Kannav, who met me and took care about my first impression from the Hotel and its hospitality. He even goes with me to show few rooms apartment me to chose the better option .He explained me well all details and answered on all my questions and also was so nice and careful, that I realise I made right decision and I stay there, couse initially I did not make my reservation. I was so happy to meet such a nice and open and kind people there. It was important for me, due to I was alone in my journey .
Also I liked the Wellness Centre a lot! Especially yoga teacher ( unfortunately I forgot his name ) but he is doing sound healing. I was impressed! Highly recommended to visit!
So, I left hotel full of energy and good and kind impressions!
With the warmest regards to all employees and owners,
Mariya
