A-MAZING!

30 Apr 2026
We had such an amazing stay from start to finish. The welcome itself was so special, the boat crew even showed us dolphins on the way, and they were all so kind and polite. Our host Ahmed was honestly the best. He made everything so easy for us, took care of every request, and always went the extra mile with great suggestions that really made our trip better. :) The F&B team was fantastic! Big thanks to Alaau, Battey, Shahaau, Shahjan, Rabeem, and Naf for their great service. And a special shoutout to Niushad, who truly stood out and made sure we always had the best food and overall experience! He made sure we were given the best food for every meal and was so humble throughout. Every restaurant we tried was amazing, including the restaurant by a Michelin star chef “Mediterraneo by Jefferey Vella” which was a highlight for us. Ellena at the front desk was so sweet and humble <3 and Reshma at the bar was always welcoming. Even the buggy drivers were incredibly polite and friendly. What really stood out to us was the hospitality and the food. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Memorable island hospitality

30 Apr 2026
We had a truly wonderful stay at Taj Exotica Resort & Spa Maldives, and the experience exceeded our expectations in every way. We would especially like to highlight Chef Ashish Kumar, who played a big role in making our visit so memorable. He went above and beyond to prepare a wide range of Jain and vegetarian dishes, each one carefully crafted and absolutely delicious. His dedication, attention to detail, and genuine interaction with guests stood out. He made sure we were comfortable at all times and personally ensured that our dining preferences were met, which added a special touch to our stay. We would also like to appreciate bartender Reshma for creating some exceptional cocktails—each one was unique and perfectly made, enhancing our overall experience. A big thank you as well to Niushad, Sana, and Shahjhan for their attentive service and warm hospitality throughout our visit. Their efforts truly made us feel welcomed and cared for. The level of hospitality at Taj Maldives is remarkable, and we cherished every moment spent there. Chef Ashish’s culinary expertise and warmth were the highlight of our trip. We are especially proud to have experienced such outstanding Indian hospitality—it was flawless in every aspect. (Room Nos. 402, 404, 406)
