Gourmet Delights

During my stay at Taj Exotica, the dining experience was a delight! The main restaurant, 24 Degrees, had an extensive menu featuring local and international cuisines. Each meal was impeccably prepared, and I was wowed by the flavors. Special thanks to Chef Kannan for crafting nice dishes. The desserts were heavenly! Can't wait to return and savor them again.

Luxurious Comfort

I stayed in a beautifully designed water villa with a private plunge pool. The spacious setting was tastefully decorated and had stunning ocean views. Every detail was thoughtfully arranged, and the cleanliness was perfect. I loved the unique touches like the rose petal bubble bath prepared for us. It truly felt like a slice of paradise.
