Magical Spa Experience

The spa service at Taj Exotica was excellent. The therapists had magical hands, and any aches I had completely disappeared after my treatment. I especially recommend trying the aromatherapy massage; it left me feeling rejuvenated and relaxed. It was a must-do during my stay!

Culinary Delights

The dining experience was simply fantastic! Every meal was delicious and carefully prepared, with a wonderful variety of options. I particularly loved the Indian Thali Banquet and the crispy salt and pepper squid. The chefs really went out of their way to accommodate our preferences, making dining a nice part of our stay.

Luxurious Lagoon Villa

Staying in the Deluxe Lagoon Villa was an experience I will never forget! The spacious layout included a private plunge pool and offered direct access to the lagoon. It was heavenly to wake up each morning to the stunning views and easy access to the crystal-clear waters. Absolutely loved the decor and luxury amenities.

Family-Friendly Fun

Traveling with my family was made good with the children's amenities offered at Taj Exotica. The resort provided engaging activities for kids, such as treasure hunts and crab racing, which made our stay nice for all ages. My kids had a blast and kept asking when they could do the fun activities again!
