Taj experience, excellent everytime. Staff was great, polite and helpful. Rooms are small/ stuffed. Breakfast is really nice. Dinner buffet is limited, i think since a lot of people choose to eat outside due to so many options in Goa. Again super services by the staff. Bar at the pool is a good add on. Private beach is also really good. Their food is really good especially at the Banyan tree Thai restaurant), the staff again excellent. Highly recommended.

Loved our stay!
We have just finished a 10 day stay at the Taj Village Resort and cannot recommend it enough. The entire stay was well beyond our expectations. Shubham, Uma and Salonica at reception were welcoming and always helpful. Sudedh at the travel desk always on hand to organise transport. Prajot and Saeel at the poolside bar were always so kind and went out of their way. Sahhoo the lifeguard was amazing. Always making sure our sun beds were arranged such that my children were sheltered from the sun. Prakash and Devanand at the Caravela were always on hand to ensure we were taken care of at the restaurant. We did have a blip with 2 groups of Ill mannered students checking in and making 4 days rather unpleasant but that cannot be held against the hotel or staff in any way. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a hotel in Goa and you are travelling with children.

Me and my wife have been staying in taj for most of our holidays since years but Goa taj doesn’t feel like the standards taj has . Firstly we tried the restaurant in taj which apparently served goan food but when we had it , it was average half of the things were not available , fish curry was smelly fish dint feel fresh , we left the entire curry , prawn fry was again average , then we tried buffet for breakfast it was nothing like taj felt im in some 3 star restaurant , there is no mirror in the rooms everytime my wife had to get ready she was using the washroom mirror , don’t you think there should be a big mirror in the room it was inconvenient for my wife and for me and again not what we paid for , the bathroom valve for the shower kept falling everytime we went for shower , once we called the housekeeping to clean the room in the morning and afternoon we came back to room , my wife had kept DND on because the room was clean and she had kept her personal belonging in the room and we went out in sometime when we returned back in the eve , housekeeping had again come in the room to decorate the bed even after the DND was on which was unacceptable,after complaining the manager said he’ll get back to me but he didn’t care I guess and we left the next morning really disappointed with taj Goa , would not recommend it to anyone

Great location!!! the rest is Mid
The location is great the breakfast is good. The beach and pool are great. The F&B staff are pleasant with prompt service Special shout out to the Banyan tree and the house of Nomad. Check-in and Check-out process was not pleasant, the house manager was RUDE when I asked for my second key for my Dad, the check-in process took 3 hours, the service recovery was acceptable thanks to Isha. They have a complimentary shuttle etc. However, at this price point there are better options in Goa, staying here was a mistake.

Best stay in Goa hands down!
This hotel and the staff are truly amazing! Welcoming, courteous, accommodating and generous. We were celebrating my husbands 60th birthday on this trip, and were sweetly surprised by the chocolate cake and birthday message left in our room one day. So thoughtful! Restaurants on site are excellent, the new Seven Rivers brewery nearby also a fabulous property for dinner and drinks. Highly recommend the Taj to anyone visiting Goa.
