Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Goa

We stayed for 4 days. Overall, it was an average experience, nothing that truly felt like a 5-star stay. Food (Sala da Pranzo): Very disappointing — not only was the variety limited, but the quality and taste were also below average. The buffet and lunch spread felt repetitive, with only minor changes each day. On top of that, there were flies around the restaurant, which was very off-putting and definitely not what you’d expect from Taj. Service was also slow; even for basics like phulkas or tea, the wait was unusually long. Staff & Service: Another downside was the attitude of many staff members. Most seemed unwelcoming — hardly a smile, and whenever you asked for something, it often felt like you were troubling them instead of receiving warm hospitality. Room: Comfortable and well-kept, though we did spot a lizard once (not a big issue for us). Kids Club: The one true highlight of our stay! The Taj Kids Club was an absolute saviour — spacious, well-managed, and the team was excellent. A special thanks to Namreen for her efforts. Comparison: Having stayed at St. Regis as well, I would say St. Regis is miles ahead. If you’re choosing between the two, St. Regis is undoubtedly the better option.

Well truly we had a real great time at Taj, property is too good, We had a very good Spa, we had a worry when we went there whether we will get Jain food but Mr Ganesh (chef) was amazing, he was quick to understand our food choices, all three meals were included in our package, beach was very clean, Climate was also very good, all staff were very polite, disciplined through out the day for all the guests and were looking happy. For a true break from routine life, i recommend people to visit this place, worth spending every penny here. thanks

It's a good property with great hospitality. Nice access to the beach. well maintained Rooms. Good spread of buffet. 45 min drive from Dabolim Airport.

What an experience with Taj like always! Amazing staff who went above and beyond to make our stay special. Good food and great ambiance. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

The Room and the View from the was very Good, but the Restaurant food was not as per the Taj standards. Nor the Hospitality of the Staff was as per a 5 star hotel. Will definitely recommend St Regis much better than this at same price

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Taj Goa! 🌴✨ The property is stunning, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by serene views that make it feel like paradise. The staff was extremely warm, attentive, and always went the extra mile to make us feel special—Taj hospitality truly never fails. There are thoughtfully curated activities throughout the day such as morning yoga, shell painting, and sunset rituals, which add so much charm to the experience. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and designed with great attention to detail. Overall, it was a perfect blend of relaxation and unique experiences. Highly recommend Taj Goa for anyone looking for luxury, comfort, and unforgettable memories. ❤️

Taj never disappoints. Beautiful and spacious rooms . Great food. Lots of fun activities and games including golf. Pool was under renovation but they opened it partially for the guests. Beach was very clean and not crowded at all. Over all had a great stay.

Everything was perfect... Special mention about the kids activity area, my daughter enjoyed there a lot..

Our stay at Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Goa was truly excellent! The property is breathtakingly beautiful, from the pristine beach and lush green lawns to the serene ambience that makes you instantly feel at peace. The hospitality was top-notch — warm, attentive, and always available whenever we needed anything. The buggy service made getting around the vast property very convenient, but I personally wish there were also small, single-person electric scooters available. It would make exploring every corner of this expansive resort even more fun and flexible. Overall, I just wish we had stayed longer than one day — it really felt like a getaway into a calm, luxurious paradise. Highly recommended!

“Negotiating Over Paranthas at a 5-Star? Shockingly Bad Experience at Taj Exotica Goa” We stayed here from 4th to 8th September. Since we had a long road journey to Hyderabad, we requested the reception to keep our bills ready for a seamless early checkout and were also offered the option of a packed breakfast. Everything seemed fine—until the actual experience. On 8th Sept morning, after clearing the bills at 7:15 am, we went to the restaurant and requested 6 paranthas to be packed for the road. Shockingly, the staff outright refused and said they could only pack 2 paranthas per room. Taken aback, I decided to sit and eat there instead, which delayed our travel plan. Soon after, another staff member returned and asked if 4 paranthas would be okay. Imagine this—at a 5-star property, I was literally being “negotiated” with over paranthas: 2, then 4, but not 6. Really? Is Taj earning from paranthas now? Inside the restaurant, I could have eaten 20 paranthas without anyone stopping me, but for takeaway, I was being restricted. The behavior was more upsetting than the denial itself. Finally, someone brought 6 paranthas—but by then we were already done with breakfast. At checkout, when I gave this feedback, the reception staff themselves admitted that the restaurant should not have denied the request at all. Which makes me wonder—are employees making up their own rules? One says 2, another says 4, another says 6. Utter confusion. This left us extremely disappointed. A property like Taj should be about seamless hospitality and consistent service, not petty restrictions and miscommunication. Sadly, I will not be staying here again, nor recommending this property to anyone.

I had a disappointing experience during my stay at the Taj on 3rd September. For a brand of such stature, the lack of warmth and hospitality was truly unexpected. The disappointment began right from the moment we arrived. Most of the staff, especially at the front desk and restaurant, seemed indifferent and unwelcoming. There was no briefing about the property or its facilities — something you'd expect as a basic courtesy. Ironically, the only staff who showed genuine care were from housekeeping. It’s unfortunate to see such a renowned brand fall short on the very essence of hospitality.

very very nice experience. great atmosphere. Every amenities available. clean and well maintained premises. Private access to the beach is a huge bonus. Food is really top class in taste and variety.

It was very pleasant stay.. location was very good.. food and spa were excellent

It was a wholesome experience♥️ Loved the food. Property is surrounded by lush green lawns and trees.

The property was absolutely wonderful, and our experience was nothing short of awesome. We booked a room with a private pool, which was a true highlight and elevated our entire stay. The room was clean, stylish, and incredibly comfortable. The dedicated pool area offered a serene and private escape, perfect for relaxing. Every aspect of our time here was fantastic, from the beautiful surroundings to the excellent service. We were so pleased and would highly recommend this exceptional property to anyone seeking a memorable and luxurious getaway.

the property is beautiful and the beach access is direcr from the property which is amazing. the ambience and the food is also very great. a good experience on overall

I recently spent two nights at Taj Exotica Goa, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was warm and personalised .One of the biggest highlights for us was how infant-friendly the hotel was. They offered customised baby food made fresh, according to our preferences and timing. Whether it was plain khichdi, mashed fruits, or vegetable puree, the kitchen staff delivered promptly and hygienically, which gave us great peace of mind. We left feeling pampered, rested, and deeply grateful. Highly recommended for couples, families with kids, and especially those traveling with infants.

Stay at Taj exotica and Resort was amazing. Great hospitality by the team at hotel. Staff have been amazing. There has been evening shows hosted by Narmin. She has been amazing hosting the fun event. Lots of activities have been conducted for kids. Fecho has been very helpful for serving the food and taking care of guests.

Superb hospitality, we travelled with our infant and the staff was very courteous enough and very productive enough to think ahead of her stay plan. Everything for the infant set up the room and whatever we needed for our infant to be comfortable, it was there and the staff did not hesitate to extend more support services, et cetera. It was a fantastic time. Thanks. Thanks a lot.
