Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Taj Exotica Resort & Spa is known for its spacious rooms and big, clean lawns, offering plenty of space for kids to play and cycle. Guests appreciate the large swimming pool and the views from the big lounge bar overlooking the sea and beach. The breakfast spread is often mentioned, featuring everything from North and South Indian options to local cuisine, with juices, smoothies, and fresh fruits, although some have found the service to be inconsistent. The unique 'machan' concept is considered cool, and the beach volleyball court with a lifeguard bay adds to the appeal.
