We zeroed down on Taj for our 3 day getaway and were not at all disappointed by our choice! The hotel has great staff, service and an awesome private beach to laze around all day. We had a great room (Deluxe sea view) and were thrilled by the view & ambience (suggest to take 1st floor rooms to get a... More

We like to visit Goa to do nothing by the beach and enjoy the local cuisine. On our visit in Jan 2001 we felt like splurging a bit and stay at Taj Exotica for 5 nights . We heard good reviews about the hotel from our friends and felt we must give it a try. We booked a pick up... More

Recently spent some time at the Taj in Benaulim Goa, and were we blown away. The level of service was impeccable. The staff aware that my husband and I were celebrating our anniversary, went out of their way to make it special. We found flowers and a congratulations cake in our room & were surprised. A photo they had taken... More

The property is excellent with verdant lawns, very clean beach, extremely helpful staff providing personalised service, great attention to details with special activities to keep kids occupied. Excellent restaurants too. Swimming pool could have been cleaner. Toddler's pool is great for kids. Despite mostly foreigner crowd, maintains Indian sensibilities. The water sports at the beach, offered by a vendor there,... More

Perfect holiday with extremely pleasant and well trained staff. Excellent "restaurants" - small and intimate with first class menus and delicious freshly prepared food. Rooms a good size - maybe the balcony was a bit smaller than we would have liked (our ONLY petty fault!). We enjoyed the varied evening entertainment. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful and the... More

This was exactly the friendly, quiet, relaxing atmosphere we were looking for. The property felt somewhat nostalgic, like a country resort from another time. In addition to pool, beach, spas, golf, etc., the resort also offers archery, miniature golf, an astronomer (!), live music while dining, and more, like resorts of my parents youth or some well appointed cruise ships....

This was our second visit to the Taj and it was interesting to see the changes since 2005. Our experience on arrival could not have been better. We booked the accommodation through Hotel Info as we could not find any availability for our chosen time with the UK package companies. We could still find availability on a charter flight however.... More

Visited the Taj Exotica on a 2nd occasion the 1st being so wonderful. This time around it wasn't as good, although still gorgeous, the first room offered was supposed to be seaview, but was a corner, ground floor room and you could only see the sea when sitting in a particular postion - should state partial seaview. The hotel kindly... More

My family and i stayed here during a recent family celebration in Goa. Generally, the hotel was excellent. Lovely place with stunning pool and beach areas, rolling lawns with activities including golf and archery, and a pleasing selection of restaurants. Service was particularly excellent, and the hotel could not do enough to make our stay as comfortable as possible. In... More
