Indian weddings, anniversary parties happening at taj pool area. We were not informed earlier about the same. Huge sound and disturbance in pool area dna even in the room. Not a place of peace and tranquility at all in spite of playing top dollars. Better do choosing Sofitel or Waldorf!

The hotel and staff are magnificent, can't do enough for you. The cleanliness is unbelievable, I've never been anywhere so clean . The roaring rabbit, coast and the kitchen all have fabulous food. The pool area and hotel are amazing. We brought our son as an early 21st birthday present. He loved every minute.
