Go for water villa - great resort - need to fix food quality and taste

31 Oct 2024
Views- amazing! Staff is the best Sea is perfect Scuba is great Snorkelling is fun Food is sub par. Beyond obvious - I’m surprised not many have complained about food - it’s tasteless stuff. We had sandwich in pool side - condiments were awful and taste pathetic. Main courses are tasteless - as if the chef made these dishes for the first time - my husband can do better! Just bad food But still amazing staff and great butler. Next time, will take the water villa

Truly a taj resort, but with un-Taj / horrible food.

30 Nov 2024
Great resort. Amazing service. Our butler, Payal, was the best! She uplifted the entire experience. Beautiful weather - great location - crystal clear water. Just loved it! The Only issue was food. It must take an immense effort and meticulous planning to mess up that bad! This is our second visit - first was for our honeymoon. We had the best food last time we were here in 2018. This time - I would have been better off with McDonald from Male airport. We tried the main restaurant/ pool side - it was bad all around - full marks for consistency though! Bad taste. Bad quality. Bad presentation. Bad preparation. Horrendous food. Seriously! You are Taj! Not a road side inn — sorry! Even the road side inn would have better food - via zomato! May be - just may be - Vivanta would be ok with such food.. but not exotica. When we asked around - staff muttered that even they know that the food is going down, but can’t do much about it. They mentioned that previous chefs were good but the new one is apparently not up to mark (so get a new chef guys!) So - will we go again? Yes! But will bring our own food! So - exotica management - pls, give us kitchen facilities if you can’t change the quality of your food!

A Perfect Paradise with Unmatched Service!

31 Dec 2024
Our stay at Taj Exotica Resort in the Maldives was absolutely perfect! The stunning villas, private pools, and breathtaking ocean views created a serene paradise. The exceptional service made our trip unforgettable—Payal, our wonderful butler, went above and beyond to ensure everything was seamless, while Irufan at 24 Degrees restaurant made every meal special with his warm and attentive service. This resort combines natural beauty with world-class hospitality, and we can’t wait to return!

Taj has always been like a family. The warmth and love from all the staff was amazing. Activities are fun well coordinated. A special thanks to my personal butler Nadeem amazing at his work and extremely warm. The food is amazing even options without onion garlic and potato. Loved 🥰 it ! Thank you for making it special 🤩

Horrible

31 Dec 2024
The billing process was very bad, was overcharged and when I complained they made some story and returned less amount. They wrongly charged for Minibar consumables, and charged more price from what it was actually mentioned. No one even bothered to apologised for wrong billing. The food was very bad with no taste and long waiting. For every meal we had to sit 1.5 hours to get complete orders. Most of the time restaurant staff forget what we ordered. Overall experience was very bad in terms of hospitality for which IHCL is known for. We booked the package from Makemytrip where we paid for Sunset cruise and other activities which was mentioned in our booking, but the resort staff denied that they are not aware about these activities and demanded Marriage Certificate for the same. Though after complaining to Makemytrip, Resort arranged those activities but that was very awful experience after paying this much of money. Though the location of resort was very good and in room cleanness was spot on. The resort is good but the billing and restaurant staff was a big down.
