When we decided to celebrate our mother's 70th birthday, the venue was of paramount importance. My brother-in-law was going to fly in especially from Australia and we just wanted to get away from Delhi to a relaxing and beautiful resort. Goa was the first preference but we we could not easily zero in on a particular property as we were spoilt for choice. We had eaten a few meals in Taj Exotica during our vacation to Goa last year and the takeaway apart from the great food and ambience was the amazing hospitality of the staff. Whether it was Vikram Chauhan or Amit Keshari or Chef Sujit, every staff member I had met had left an impression and that swung our decision towards this Taj property. And we are so happy we made that decision. My mother had the most fantastic birthday and every staff member went out of his/her way to make it extra special for her. The room was decorated in a beautiful manner discreetly, keeping the surprise element in mind. The menu was specifically curated keeping her preferences in mind and there were so many special touches that the experience was just wonderful. Vikram just kept coming up with thoughtful gestures. Chef Edridge and Chef Sujit were again amazing and so warm and went the extra mile to make my mom feel very happy. Amit Keshari was again extremely helpful. The entire staff was so welcoming including, Jatin, Chef Ganesh, Chef Hemant, Chef Toufique apart from Arijit, Paul, Victor, Conrad, Rosario to name a few. I must also make a special mention of the activity centre for children. I took my six-year-old daughter and she had a fabulous time with Narmin and Damini who are so good with children. We would also express our gratitude to the entire cleaning staff, especially Prabhu and Rajesh. Also, the staff at the reception is ever smiling and welcoming. Our special thanks to Roicy and Anunnay. Let me end by saying that we will come back to re-experience Taj and its hospitality. Thank you very much!!!
