We have stayed at many Taj properties and their excellent service, warmth and hospitality is what stands out. Taj exotica Goa outdid our expectations. We made a short, unplanned stay here because of a Air India flight reschedule and it happened to fall on the day of our 7th wedding anniversary. We didn’t even mention it but Mr Abdullah at the check was generally chatting with us and found out about it. He went to all lengths to make our short stay very special for us… there was a surprise cake, some wine, fruits and exotic chocolates in our room to make our day more memorable ❤️ The staff across the property was also exceptionally warm and friendly. It’s people like Mr Abdullah and the staff at Taj exotica that make their hospitality the best in class. The property is generally lovely, the beach pristine, the landscapes lush and the rooms spacious and comfortable. Just what you need on a relaxing holiday. I was a little disappointed with the quality of food this time though. Not that it was bad but usually Taj food is exceptionally delicious so it’s a high benchmark anyway 🙂 This was a short stay and we definitely plan to come back with family next year and get to enjoy some of the activities we didn’t have time for in this trip like the spa, yoga, photoshoot and sunset rituals

Great breakfast buffet with many many choices. Ala carte menu was reasonably good. Lounge was great Didn't like the expensive quote of Rs 1600 for cab ride of ~ 10 km, when the comparable GoaMiles app was Rs 350

The hotel structure is not beautiful and poorly decorated. The is no beachside activity. The beach is something beyond the fence. For western visitors it is not what someone would imagine a sea side resort or town. Very little heritage of the cuisine from Portugal.

What an absolutely amazing experience we had at Taj Exotica! I flew in from dubai and My flight landed really early (5am), and the staff was kind enough to arrange a room for me to rest since our actual check in was at 3pm.. I was so relieved to get those few hours of sleep and not wait in the hotel lobby for our actual room. Big thanks to the staff, who are so friendly and helpful at all times.. special mention of Ujwal, Rashmita, Vishal, Vinay - everyone so professional, prompt and super helpful. This truly breaks or makes ur stay at any resort.. apart from this the property itself is gorgeous, clean , beautiful beach and great views! Perfect for unwinding for the relaxing holiday. Definitely my go to place, everytime I’m in Goa!

Excellent stay at exotica
Very good stay. The hotel is very good and comfortable. My young daughter didn’t want to come back she thoroughly enjoyed the property. Food was the only downer a lil since I had opted for alacarte the menu was pretty avg. but once I brought the concern to the chef he personally made sure that he cooked special dishes for me so that was mitigated. The staff is very courteous and friendly and allowed late check out which was really good as I had a late flight. I recommend everyone having meals there to call the chef upfront and put your request. The stay was really good and I highly recommend. PS - the golf course is good recommend all to take coaching lesson.
