Beautiful hotel and views, good food, breakfast and very nice bar. Staff very friendly efficient and helpful. Enjoyed the evening boat ride and pool is amazing, you can see river dolphins sometimes. Small point of feedback is in relation to maintenance and attention to detail. Cupboard doors were not closing properly, there was a sticker on the toilet seat, soap dispenser in lounge toilet was dirty. But no major issues, we had a wonderful time

Disappointing.
I had 2 rooms booked for a family of 5. I was given 1 in the heritage wing and 1 in the tower wing. The front desk mentioned they will upgrade us to be together and moved us to the tower wing. the room didnt have dual charger plugs, the hot water in the shower was not working and the guest checkin and buffet was sub standard to The Taj experience we are accustomed to. However, the overall stay, the bar and property location is amazing and enjoyable!!! Manager was very helpful and provided voluntary assistance without even complaining.

What I liked about this hotel is the location . Its a great place to unwind with views onto the sea . But if you are looking to go shopping or other activities its a 30 mins drive . What I did not like is that this hotel needs a revamp. Everything looks old . The bathrooms are not clean as expected . The maintenance department has to improve. I had a light flickering . Telephone not working . Its a popular wedding venue so expect crowds . Pool has no privacy with laborers lounging around . I feel this hotel shoukd be rated 4 star
