Our experience was great from the first moment we stepped into the resort to the checkout. We arrived a bit early and were allowed early check-in which was really appreciated. The reception staff were very polite and explained everything clearly. Our kids really liked the decor and facilities especially the game room. Food in the restaurant was perfect both in ala carte as well as buffet with lots of options for vegetarians. The only issue we felt was that the kids menu could have been expanded a bit for vegetarians but the adult portion size was good and we never had to order anything extra. Pool was well maintained although we only used it once. Direct access to the beach was amazing. I would highly recommend this for families Read less

This was our first time staying in Taj Exotica on the Palm. It’s a grand hotel, and very tastefully decorated. We had the luxury sea view suite which was very generously proportioned. The staff were all amazing, but a special thanks to Noor at breakfast who attentively waited on us, Sandeep and Aascia at the lounge, and Stella at the spa who was the most organised and professional staff member there. I would also highly recommend the yoga sessions offered, as well as the sound bath meditation. We decided to try Taj for the Indian food especially, and they delivered on this. Great variety at breakfast, especially with the option of ordering dishes, and also at the evening buffet. We also dined at the Roaring Rabbit, which was delicious. There are some minor things the hotel could improve. Meticulous cleaning of rooms (eg., crumbs on chairs), as well as quality of towels and amenities provided. Read less
