I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The scenic views from my room were breathtaking, but the tired condition and poor lighting were a letdown. The staff took good care of us, although there were some inconsistencies. The location was excellent for beach lovers, but fell short in meeting the usual standards of the Taj brand. The dining options were diverse and delicious, but room for improvement was there. Overall, it was a stay with ups and downs.

The location was simply amazing, offering breathtaking views and top-class hospitality synonymous with the Taj brand. The dining options were diverse, although some areas could use improvement. Overall, a great stay with a few minor areas for enhancement.
