My visit to surat was brief but very nice. If you staying in this property do take river facing room. The have a wing with completely new rooms which are taste fully done. The food I must appreciate. It's brilliant. The chef personally came to our room and asked for what they prepare for us in the dinner. As expected... More

The property itself is wonderful, with perhaps the best location; it has a great view to offer. The room was clean with all amenities you would associate with Taj, the food was mouth watering and the Spa fabulous; however that is where the ‘Good’ part stops. The issues as I see is the service level which can largely be attributed... More

It's a nice laid back small hotel , neat and tidy. I think rooms are functional with few nice features like the balcony facing the river and a yoga mat! We had problem with the toilet which was smelly throughout the stay but the management couldn't do much ( they said it had to do with some repair plumbing yet... More

Taj Gateway's brand new property, overlooking a river with horses and sheep grazing on its green meadow, occasionally disturbed by an uninvited peacock or monkey, sets a perfect setting for a lazy holiday for nature lovers. The food is pretty mediocre with some dishes utterly tasteless. The service is politely inefficient, where you may have to wait for a chapatti... More

The property is worth spending time relaxing and going on a safari. The staff is courteous and very helpful. The property is newly renovated and renamed as "The Gateway - Gir". And surely it is a good gateway to your heart and a good safari lodge. The food choice is limited but the spread is good. The chef tries to... More
