Stunning and convenient location just 20mina boat ride from Male airport - amazing staff who couldn’t do enough to make you comfortable and happy. Amazing food with chef Rajesh spoiling us with different cuisines daily . Loved the opportunity to cook with chef Jayant who taught us how to make paneer kofta saag - ummm!! Property could do with some updating given the immense competition but the stunning lagoon stays with you forever !!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
absolutely terrible food. we purchased half board and we could barely find a thing to order on the pages long menu. the service was absolutely uninterested. the "butler" (no explanation anywhere or from butler herself what it is that they do) introduced herself the first day and came over the last night at end of dinner. useless. the rooms was ok- but needed upkeep. the railings outside to water were rusty and everything needed updating. absolutely not worth the price. the only positive about the hotel- the waiters/workers were friendly as were the people who took us out snorkeling. i have stayed at many Taj hotels in India and this was not deserving to be called the Taj

Fabulous hotel resort
The Taj resort is amazing. It is a beautiful resort set on a wonderful private island. The colours of the sea are fabulous. The best activity is swimming in the crystal clear emerald green sea. The hotel is everything you would except of a Taj hotel. The food was excellent. What made it extraordinary was the attitude and helpfulness of all the staff. Nothing was too much. Beautiful, kind people.
