I visited Maldives with my hubby and kids last month. Ranjit Phillipose, the General Manager of the Taj Exotica Resort & Spa arranged our accommodation there at the Taj Exotica. We booked our holidays through the online travel portal of Maldivestourister.com. We had a seamless transition to Maldives and our rooms and commute were also arranged beforehand. Thus the combo...

Before coming to this Hotel we read a review that said something like "A picture of this place wouldn't capture it's beauty. It would leave out one of the most charming factors: the 5 star service" - I couldn't think of a better way of reviewing this hotel. Our experience at the Taj exotica was 5 stars all around.

Everything at the Taj was above and beyond our wildest expectations. The staff were amazing and the service was unbeliveable. The room was perfect, especially the bath products. All the food choices were delicious and there were dozens of pages on the menu so there was a lot of variety. Most of the guests appeared to be honeymooners although there... More
