"Pros: One of the best things about being at this resort is the vibe. The staff are so friendly and welcoming, and the location of course is amazing. We stayed half board and that worked out to be a good option for us. Breakfast and dinner buffet was very good, with lots of choice, good quality and variety from day to day. We stayed for 5 nights and chilled out to the max! Good value and the experience overall feels more high end than the price would suggest. Transfers are seamless and the rooms are clean and very pleasant - most are located no more than a stones throw from the beautiful sea.
Thoroughly recommend!
Cons: We were initially given room 59, and as this is quite close to the island power plant we asked to be moved. We had to wait a little while as this was sorted out, but within a couple of hours we were moved to 91, which was super.
My advice would be to request not to have room 59, as there is a constant tractor like hum which is audible from the porch of the room - it’s not especially loud, but we found it a little distracting and detracted from the peace and tranquility we were looking for. Absolutely no issues otherwise." ~Lee
"Pros: We had the best-ever family holiday in Taj Exotica. The best check-in experience where we were taken direct from boat to our villa. The ocean villa itself was breathtakingly amazing. We had fruit, chocolates and drinks waiting for us in the room. My kids had absolutely nothing to complain about which is the highest level of praise in our family. The food was amazing with a large menu. The island itself is beautiful with a perfect mix of sandy white beaches and a massive lagoon around it.
We had very choppy boat rides both in and out of the resort and it was raining for half of the stay but we still had the time of our lives. We also had a stay at a different resort right before coming to Taj where I am a Platinum member but the experience at Taj made our previous stay feel ordinary. Based on our stay in 2 other resorts, I would recommend Taj Exotica to anyone visiting Maldives for the first time. It provides the complete package and the full Maldives experience. Both beach villas and ocean villas are nice but if you have to pick one, go with an ocean villa. I had doubts about spending so much money on one holiday and many others will do too. However, the cost and the logistics are totally worth it. If you are in doubt or considering other cheaper options, my advice is to stop your search and go ahead with Taj.
Every staff member was super-friendly. Special thanks to Aika, Nadeem, Haneef and the lady (unable to recall her name) who checked us in for making this a memorable experience. Without a doubt, this was the best resort experience and I highly recommend it. Worth every penny!
Cons: The WiFi had limited number of devices but we didn't really need the Internet." ~Nabeel
"Pros: I liked everything was perfect
The staff were amazing and the hotel was very organized in airport pick up and drop off
The daily activities were amazing and entertaining
Cons: The breakfast needs more options" ~Sara
"Pros: Water villa was very nice, someone available to clean morning and evening which is helpful when you have kids, saii app was very good and reception responsive and buggy arrived within 10 minutes of requesting. Food was decent and could use facilities at hard rock hotel too although sai lagoon facilities were nicer. In addition, kids club had a variety of activities and had to book in advance. Hannan at reception was very helpful and transfer to the resort was quick and someone at airport to collect and transfer
Cons: Breakfast time was slightly annoying in that often things weren’t available/ for example glass for the juices quickly ran out and had to wait for someone to get more, hash browns had often ran out but despite that breakfast was good and plenty of options. Transfer cost of 200 dollars per adult seams unfair when there’s a massive sign at airport saying transit passengers can get a transfer to the resort for a day pass for 20 dollars. There are activities to book but tried booking the complimentary house reef tour but this was booked out and hence didn’t get a chance to do this. Buggy driver jack mentioned the resort was “down to earth” compared to other resorts." ~Mohsin
