Amazing food and service

30 Apr 2026
We had the most wonderful 4-night stay at Taj Exotica Maldives. The property is absolutely breathtaking, with stunning views all around and a serene, luxurious vibe that makes it truly special. What made our experience even more memorable was the exceptional service. A special mention to Alaau, who was the best waiter—always attentive and warm. Chef Ashish went above and beyond by personally curating delicious vegetarian Indian dishes exactly to our taste, which we truly appreciated. Chef Jayant made our mornings perfect with breakfasts tailored just the way we like them. Sharjahan also took such great care of us with his impeccable service and attention to detail. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and we cannot wait to return! 💙✨

My stay at Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Maldives was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was warm, seamless, and truly reflective of Taj’s signature luxury A special highlight of our stay was the culinary experience. Chef Ashish truly elevated our dining journey. Each dish was not only delicious but also creatively presented, showcasing a perfect balance of flavours. He went above and beyond to personalize meals and ensure we had a memorable experience. The staff across the resort were attentive, courteous, and always ready to assist with a special mention of Ahmad out host, making us feel valued throughout our stay.

Amazing location, but very poor attitude and awareness towards allergies

31 Mar 2026
After staying at the Taj residences in Dehli, Mumbai and Chennai during the last couple of years, we were expecting high standards from this stay. While we thoroughly enjoyed the setting and facilities at the Exotica, we were really disappointed by the lack of care taken regarding our allergy requirements and the response we were met with given several near misses. My partner has a severe nut and sesame allergy, which was made clear on the initial booking and to all staff at the hotel (host, reception and all restaurant staff). On arrival to our room we had a welcome treat containing nuts. We were told this would be replaced with a nut free alternative but it never arrived. Our first evening at the restaurant was a disappointing and concerning experience. After reminding waiting staff and the manager of the allergies, they brought out a dish containing visible sesame seeds. Luckily we spotted the sesame and raised it to staff, who took the dish away and came back, stating it was actually garlic. After requesting to speak to the manager, he admitted it was in fact sesame. Despite the head chef returning the dish without the side salad and the restaurant eventually admitting their mistake, there was no apology or awareness of the seriousness. On our second day we were then served bread with sesame, again after reminded staff of the allergies. This experience really soured our special holiday after going in with high expectations from the Taj hotel chain and will make us think again before booking with Taj hotels again.

Best stay ever

31 Mar 2026
This is the best resort we have been and everyone made us feel special. I have traveled across the world but hospitality here is just another level. We came for 4 nights and its worth every penny. Each and every experience is worth the money. What can i say about the management and all the people working here. Each one of them is a gem of a person. Thanks to all of them and special thanks to Sana, Shahjahan, Siya, Arshad and Ekta. I am missing many names but everyone of them took great care of us. They upgraded us to Overwater villa with Plunge pool. Also gave us early check in and late check out. The chef made scrumptious meals at 24 degrees. Amazing Indian food. They gave free bubble bath, special dinner on the beach and also snorkeling gears. I can keep on writing but i dont have enough words to describe
