The buffet variety, the food, the service, everything was so so sooooooo good. Taj is and will always be the best (atleast in India). Location wise also very beautiful and they make sure they give you everything that you want or ask for. I can never compare any other hotel’s service with Taj and as obvious Taj Goa did the very same. A true 5 star experience.
IndiaBreakfast was excellent. Although, I would’ve liked to have normal pork sausages instead of Goan spiced sausages EVERYDAY!! Also, the bacon quality could be much better - too salty n too crispy always. Location is excellent
IndiaAmbienceand location of the place is beautiful,the beach is exceptionally clean ,not just outside the property but also for atleast 3 kms on either side. The staff are really helpful and the buffet spread a large variety and quite delicious. Taj lives up to its name in terms of training staff and hospitality. Had a wonderful holiday,no glitches whatsoever.
IndiaOverall staff is very courteous and hard working. All the buffets have good number of options both veg and non-veg.
IndiaBeautiful, regal hotel. Loved the expansive grounds. So many trees and lush vegetation. Rooms are quite spacious and meticulously cleaned. We had booked connecting rooms, which was quite helpful. Nice play area for children. We could get complimentary bicycles for couple of hours and explore the huge property. Choice of items for breakfast was quite expansive and delicious. Friendly, helpful and smiling staff.
IndiaThe property is big and well suited for those looking for quiet vacation.
IndiaOur stay here was very good. Even during COVID times, the service was excellent and everything was clean, sanitized, and on the spot. The room was comfortable, clean, cozy, and well maintained. Only 1 restaurant was open but the food and drinks were very good. We missed the usual huge variety at breakfast but it was still a big affair. Overall, we had a great time here.
IndiaThe staff was extremely helpful from the time we got out of the car. Nice, clean spacious rooms. The golf course, greenery, and the beach access was wonderful. The beach also was good.
IndiaLuxury at its Best! Happy to know it's pet friendly too! Beautiful landscape. Self sustained. Best place for a staycation.
IndiaThe staff was extremely helpful and kind. View of the beach was absolutely magnificent. The sports options were amazing.
