Taj echoes service hospitality and makes the guest feel like a king. They never ever say a NO to the guest, and I think that sums it all. The pool villa is WOW and don't miss the spa experience no matter what. Just back and wanna return!

The service part is also very good and I was surprised that room service always delivers food at the said time, no delays. Was disappointed that they didn't have lunch and dinner buffets most of...
