Reviews and Ratings
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.
My stay at the Taj Holiday Village was delightful! The rooms were spacious, nicely done up, and offered a perfect balance of privacy and ambiance, but they could be a bit small for larger groups. The cleanliness was up to Taj's standards, yet some areas like tiles needed more attention. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant experience. 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.
The hotel is ideally located right at the beach near Taj Aguada in North Goa, offering a top-notch experience. The rooms are comfortable but need upgrading. The service is friendly and helpful, with a few hiccups. The dining options are delicious, though crowded. The hotel boasts fantastic facilities.
The resort is like a hidden gem, offering a blend of Portuguese-style charm with modern amenities. The rooms are well-equipped and clean, perfect for unwinding and enjoying games on sunny days. The personalized attention and surprises from the staff went above and beyond our expectations, making our stay truly special. However, the dining experience, despite being busy, added a touch of magic to our visit. The location, with stunning views of the Arabian Sea, provides a peaceful beach escape. The overall value for the experience is exceptional.
The hotel had lovely and spacious rooms with a veranda sit out, although slightly below my price expectation. The ability to see and hear the ocean throughout the day was amazing. Laltu was very helpful and always had a smile on his face.
The bungalows are cozy and in a good location with a large property and friendly staff. However, getting around without a buggy can be inconvenient. The atmosphere is quiet after dark with limited activities, more suitable for young couples than families.
The hotel offers smaller but very comfortable rooms with a perfect view of the ocean and lush gardens, including a hammock for relaxation. The service is exceptional, with attentive staff always going the extra mile. The location is ideal for a family getaway, close to the beach and excellent dining options. The dining experience is sumptuous, with a variety of options, though making early reservations is recommended. Overall, a great value for a memorable stay.
