My husband and I stayed here for 8 days and overall have many positive memories from this trip. The negatives were minor but as this hotel is so expensive, there should have been none. This review will be mainly geared to americans who are deciding if the maldives is worth the long journey and whether the taj exotica is the... More

If you're a first-timer in a resort like this, you may be impressed. For those of you who have been to a well-done upscale hotel, you'll feel a bit disappointed by the lack of focus on the details at Taj , not to mention the overbearing staff. My husband and I were here after visiting another island in the Maldives... More

From the time you arrive at Male' to the time you get into your Private Villa it took us less than 65-mins. And that's the brilliance Taj Exotica! IF you are traveling with kids, its the quickest, most luxurious resort from Male (15mins ferry ride -- where you are served cold/refreshing Perrier!). This is the perfect resort in Maldives where...
