Breakfast Menu Service & Staff Behaviour Evening Cruise

Anurag India

Staff was pleasant . Location good. But far from main areas . So maybe they could have a bus or coach which would leave people to the main areas . Also had asked for a higher floor but couldn't get one . They gave 1 St floor .

Prasad India

It’s a very classy property at an amazing location. The food was outstanding and the staff, very friendly.

Ajesh United Arab Emirates

I had to book an extra room for 2 nights at the last minute as the hotel reception could not provide me with a bigger room to accomodate 4 x people. That was a bit disappointing but overall the stay was a good experience

Rakesh United Arab Emirates

The amazing location, awesome dinner and breakfast were the highlights of our stay at Taj Malabar; the staff was very warm and the bar is beautiful. Loved their sunset cruise and the brilliant views at the sea.

Peeush India

Room was great sized and heritage feel. Breakfast and dinner was excellent. We loved the idea of high tea on dolphin point followed by sunset cruise and entertainment program. The dancer was amazing in Bharat natyam and kattipudi. Bar was great with very reasonable prices and with happy hours. They served complimentary banana chips of local flavor. great service and hospitality. we loved our stay.

Rajagopalan India

The Taj is a lovely, quiet property with amazing port views and a large, outdoor pool. The staff were amazing with special thanks for their hospitality and graciousness to Mr. Matthew (management), Mr. Soby (front desk), Alex (wait staff) among many others. The food was excellent and we enjoyed seeing the historic Synagogue in Kochi which can be reached in less that 10 minutes via a water taxi.
