My family and I had the best holiday experience at the Taj, from the very first moment when we walked through the incredible lobby. Praju welcomed us at the reception, who kindly informed us that they had upgraded our room as I was celebrating my 40th birthday. She also arranged our early check-in to our room, which was extremely helpful because my daughter was suffering from travel sickness, allowing her to rest and catch up on some much-needed sleep. Thank you, Praju, for being so accommodating and friendly to my kids! They're big fans of yours. The room we stayed in was lovely! It was clean and well-kept. The room cleaners did a fantastic job maintaining our room, topping up our water and bathroom essentials. We didn't have to ask for anything while in the room, as everything was already topped up. To top this, we were surprised with rose petals and some sweet treats in the room to celebrate my birthday! Thank you, Karan, for welcoming us to the floor you manage. The staff were friendly and would always greet me and my family when passing by. The waiting staff at the Palm Kitchen were excellent! We had some special dietary requirements, which they accommodated without issue. The chefs made us eggless croissants and pancakes, which came out at a good time, considering how busy they all must have been. The food here was excellent. As we are vegetarians, we're usually limited to what we can eat at other places. However, here at the Taj, we were spoilt for choice! Staff members such as Abdul, Veera, Noor, Mindu, Pragun, and Subhodha were terrific and made our experience incredibly special. Their hard work and service are one of the main reasons why we will return to this place in the future. We were lucky to have dinner at Varq, which was a great experience. Raj did a fantastic job taking care of us, and the food was simply outstanding. The serving amount was generous, and the taste of each dish was next level. They even surprised me with a birthday brownie that had a candle for me to blow out. The restaurant itself is charming. The ambience and vibe of the place made it a great place to dine for the evening. The pool and outdoor area were fantastic! There was plenty of room to swim and enjoy the sun. The staff outside did a great job attending to our needs and replenishing us with water-filled coolers while they endured the heat. Thank you, Jackie and Mani, for taking care of us. Overall, the property itself was amazingly well-kept. It was clean, smelled amazing, and there were plenty of staff working hard to ensure the place looked top-notch. Great Job! We hope to be back very soon! Read less

Such an amazing hotel. Can’t do enough for you. So clean and the decor is beautiful. We had half board package, get 3 course menu in all restaurants and really big portions too, the food is so good. In Varq restaurant which was amazing, you get £150 credit to use. Delicious food, prob one of the best Indian foods we have ever had. The rooms were lovely, we got upgraded to sea view as we were celebrating our anniversary. Beds were so comfortable as was the sofa bed. Everyone really friendly, gave us a cake and desserts for our anniversary. The hotel was peaceful, which is what we wanted, very sophisticated. The pool was massive, and the little pool for the kids was under cover which is a great idea. The kids club was great, our daughter is 5 and really enjoyed face painting, slime and bracelet making. The beach was lovely, the sea was so warm, plenty of chairs if wanting to sit on beach along with a hammock and walk our pier. Sunset opposite the hotel across the sea was beautiful, our room also faced this. Wonderful hotel and would definitely return in the future. Thank you to the Taj group for making our holiday so special. Read less

My stay at the Taj exotica resort & spa palm jumeira in Dubai was excellent from A to Z. From the warm welcome at check-in to the spotless rooms, outstanding service, and top-tier amenities, everything exceeded my expectations. The staff was incredibly attentive and always went the extra mile to ensure a comfortable and memorable experience. If I had one suggestion, it would be to consider offering an all-inclusive option. It would enhance the convenience and elevate the overall guest experience even further. Read less
