Spent a night at taj exotica, in what turned out to be a superb stay. The property is out of the world, The lawns, the sea facing rooms, that are well appointed and stocked. The idr service and food was great; so was the breakfast spread and quality if dishes. A great stay, highly recommended
I selected Taj Exotica , to give my wife a treat. It was one of the best decisions of my Life. The location and the ambiance of the property is simply superb . Add to this the tremendous warmth, involvement and care provided by the staff, was outstanding. Every little detail, to ensure our stay was comfortable, was looked into. The Seafacing room was fantastic. Very large and well appointed , comfortable bathroom and a cleverly designed seafacing balcony, having total privacy. The food was typically excellent Taj cuisine. An added bonus was the ability to use the dining facilities of the next door Taj Holiday Village, where, the Thai restaurant, Banyan, was outstanding and highly recommended. The facilities like the outdoor warm water jacuzzi, very large double swimming pools, bicycles to ride around the vast property, three putting holes , kept us busy when outdoors, alongwith , the very clean stretch of adjoining beach. Even during the monsoon, the beach is safe. Indoors, two pool tables and chess , kept us occupied. Easily available buggy service, facilitated going around the vast property. The constant caring by the staff , especially Joann D'souza , who was a marvel , made our stay very comfortable. Certainly a destination that must be experienced, at least once in a lifetime. The place is truly excellent value for the money spent. Thank you Taj , and a big thank you to the super efficient and warm Joann , for giving us such a memorable experience.
Awesome experience once again at Taj Exotica Goa. Fantastic property in terms of scenic beauty, maintenance, access to beach. Staff was very courteous and professional. Chef catered to special food preferences, which was a huge plus.
Taj Exotica Goa will always hold a very special place in our hearts because it was the first-ever trip for our son. What made that first holiday even more beautiful was being able to experience it at a property that combined the warmth of Taj hospitality with the relaxed charm of Goa.
Looking back, it wasn’t simply a vacation for us, it was the beginning of our son’s travel story and the first of so many memories we hoped to create with him.
From the moment we arrived, the experience felt warm, peaceful, and incredibly welcoming. The beautiful property, lush greenery, expansive spaces, and serene surroundings created the perfect environment for a family holiday with a little one. There was enough space for our family to explore, while we could also slow down, relax, and simply enjoy being together.
Travelling with a 3 month old baby comes with its own set of challenges, but the thoughtful service and genuine warmth of the Taj team made everything feel easier. From accommodating our little one’s needs to the small gestures that made us feel cared for, the experience gave us the confidence to take that first big trip as a family.
The resort itself is stunning, with its beautiful gardens, Goan-inspired architecture, peaceful ambience, and wonderful views. There is something incredibly special about waking up surrounded by greenery and having nowhere you need to rush to. It was exactly the kind of first holiday we wanted for our family.
The food and dining experience were equally enjoyable, with a wonderful variety of options and the flexibility that families with young children really appreciate.
But what we remember most is the feeling of the stay, the warmth, the unhurried mornings, the little moments with our son, and the happiness of watching him experience something new for the very first time.
Today, with our son growing up and having already travelled to so many beautiful places, we often look back at his first holiday at Taj Exotica Goa with a special kind of nostalgia. Those first photographs, those tiny expressions, and those early travel memories will always be priceless to us.
Thank you, Taj Exotica Goa, for being the setting for such an important first chapter in our little boy’s story.
Some hotels give you a holiday. Some become part of your family’s story.
Taj Exotica Goa will always be one of those places for us. ❤️
We look forward to returning someday and showing our son the place where his travel adventures began.
Our stay at Taj Exotica was absolutely wonderful — everything was very good and we had a lovely experience.
A special mention to Narmin, who was so warm, fun-loving, and genuinely wonderful with the kids. She made them feel so comfortable and happy, and her cheerful personality really made our stay even more special. Thank you, Narmin, for making our experience memorable! ❤️
