We were a family of 4 with 2 boys aged 9 and 11. The restaurant staff went out of their way to cater to the foods the boys liked(both have very different tastes). We lost some swimming trunks at the pool. The pool manager found them and they were returned to us the next day. The room had a wonderful view to the ocean and a balcony where we could relax while watching the waves. Ultimately it was the staff that made this place so lovely.

I had an exceptional experience at the Taj resort. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, happy and received anything we desired. They even went out of their way to mail back an item I left in the room after I checked out. Wouldn't even consider staying anywhere else if I travel to Goa again.

Property was well laid out and actively. A short walk from the room were the dinner venues, swimming pool, and a little further down some sets of stairs, the beach. It was very peaceful and the staff are very helpful. Guest services were happy to ensure our stay was brilliant including little personalised gift for the kids. Anish Naik was fantastic in their restaurant. He was very attentive and helped ensure that everyone had something they would enjoy for dinner. Including those on a strict diet. Helpful and very patient meant that we came back a few times for dinner here. They had a great selection of veg and non veg. Overall a brilliant stay and would recommend without a doubt for couples, young families or extended family trips.

Taj Fort Aguada Goa
Great stay at the Taj Fort Aguada Goa. Thank you to all the pool guys who kept us well looked after with cold water and shade particularly Sanjeev. Thank you to Vincent in Kokum restaurant the food was great as was the service at breakfast and dinner The grounds of the hotel are beautiful and well kept and the views are amazing. It’s also nice and quiet all the time no horns or loud blaring music. However the room we had tired and not up to 5 star standard at best this was 3.5 star room, the shower screen was mouldy and the chairs were also mouldy/damp. In our view this isn’t a 5 star hotel as such is over priced for sure but we had a nice time and enjoyed our stay overall. But would we go back not likely.

Perfect Hotel in Goa, Unique Taj Experience
Our stay was amazing from start to finish. From the minute you enter the beautiful lobby with open views of the beach and landscape, you are immediately transported to a place of calm and relaxation. Breakfast every morning was fresh and delicious with many Indian and continental options. Sanjiv took great of us at the pool and the staff was extremely attentive to all our needs. I especially enjoyed the carnival experience the Taj put on for us. So much fun! A special touch were the daily gifts I found in our room from the staff. This hotel is a must visit!

The property is located next to a fort (on a cliff) overlooking the sea. It has beautiful view of the sinquerim beach and the Arabian sea. The property is open and hence it has beautiful breeze in the evening. The SFX lounge is an a great place to hang out in the evening during sunset. One can also go up the hill to get a beautiful view of the bay and the sun set. The konkan restaurant also offers great buffet option with lot of options and high on taste.

The property is old and very tired. However, the prices are quite high and clearly not worth it. Regardless of price I would avoid. More like a very tired Holiday Inn. Honestly, I don’t think I will ever stay at another Taj property because this one is so poor.

Enjoyable stay
Amazing property and location and the access to the adjoining Taj resort was a big bonus. Rooms are dated and small and we managed to change to a cottage which was spacious and beautiful. Many Thanks to the manager Mr Shubham for helping us make the change with minimal fuss, and for always checking on us. Food was delicious but variety was limited and after 4-5 days it could be an issue. More variety and cuisines required. Lastly, maybe more recreational options required especially at night. Overall a great stay with fantastic staff. Also special thanks to the superstars cleaning our cottage - Arjun, Pancham and Sadashiv- for being so helpful and pleasant.
