Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, Andamans

We had been contemplating an Andaman trip for a few years. However, we didn’t go ahead with the plan as the accommodations and facilities weren’t promising enough for our “ideal fancy holiday” randomness, which by the way, we were so wrong to assume. This we had not realised until this summer when we actually took our big step to explore the ethereal island no matter what. And, what a holiday it was! Without a second thought, we would credit our amazing holiday experience to the Taj Exotica Resort Andamans. From pick-up on Day 1 to welcoming us at the reception, room allocation, briefing on various preferred activities, local tips, drop-off at the ferry on our last day, and many other arrangements, the services were impeccable. Oh yes, they really know how to pamper their guests. Some of the little gestures which absolutely took us in awe: 1. An entourage of cheerful smiling faces welcomed us with earthly humility the moment we were seated at the reception lobby. 2. The service heads personally joined the group to welcome us giving it a very personalised experience. 3. Welcome drinks were tender coconut juice from real coconuts presented in flower-shaped handmade jute baskets. A 1000-point for the eco-friendly and creative thought! 4. A soulful welcome song (in local language) by the entourage. The song was about Andaman and the island’s beauty. 5. The ‘chilled-out’ check-in process, unlike the usual long formalities at 5-star properties. It was all done even before we realised, all while we were seated at the huge airy reception lobby sipping our coconut water. 6. When they heard that it was my bucketlist wish to do scuba on my birthday, they arranged for a special scuba diving slot despite all regular slots being full. 7. A complimentary framed photo that completely took us by surprise. They took a photo of you after your check-in process was complete. In the evening, they came and handed the photo placed inside a delicately shell-decorated frame. 8. A surprise goodbye flower bouquet by the housekeeping staff, made from flowers grown at the property garden. 9. A surprise bon-voyage cake-cutting arrangement after breakfast on the check-out day. 10. A surprise manta ray memento from the Taj as a bon voyage gift before we got into the car for our return journey. 11. And this one is our favourite and the sweetest ever: the entire staff crew dropped us at the car and bid us a heartfelt goodbye by waving with both hands and kept waving until the car was out of sight from the property. Why you must stay in Taj Andamans if you are planning for an Andaman Island(s) trip: 1. The property is built with eco-consciousness. You will find centuries-old heritage and iconic trees inside the property. 2. The property has private access to Radhanagar Beach. It pretty much feels like a private beach because no one really walks to this end of the beach from the public access area. 3. Spacious and huge villas with all modern amenities, walk-in closet, his & her

I had one of most wonderful experience at Taj Andaman!! The property as the name suggets gives an exotic experience. The high tea at beach side with the sunset is the highlight of the stay!! I enjoyed my stay and I would recommend the place if one is looking for a perfect getaway!!!!

Had the most amazing time at Taj Exotica.. The staff was extremely hospitable. Special call out to Abhishek and Manoharath for being great hosts and making us feel at home. Taj Exotica is several cuts above the rest and definitely one of the best properties we have ever holidayed in. We loved the fantastic food,the breathtaking view of the sea, the scenic pool, the clean n fabulous cottages . Overall it was a wonderful experience for the entire family and we look forward to our next stay with the Taj group of hotels.

Enjoyed each and every moment of my stay in Taj Exotica Andaman. Few experienced which we enjoyed most were high tea near swimming pool area, breakfastand dinner at settlers, great conversation with Taj staff during dinner and breakfast. Ambience and architecture of room was also awesome. We also loved beach side walk in morning and evening. Last but not the least was roaming around in such a huge premises on bicycle.

This hotel has one of the best maintained hotel property I have seen. The staff is extremely courteous and room were awesome. Plus, we made use of the diving school situated in the hotel property and my family had one of their coolest experience so far. Thank you, Taj and team.

We had a really good experience at the resort. Everything ranging from food, facilities and hospitality at the resort was amazing. The staff was really welcoming. A special shout out to Alexander and Divas from the housekeeping team who always ensured that we had everything needed. Also, Abhishek ensured that we had a memorable experience at the resort.

We had a great and comfy stay at this property. Hospitality, location and food everything was just perfect. I have no words to explain how peaceful and complaint-less our stay was with them. Wish we have more days to stay there. Complete staff was really caring and helpful. Their private beach is definitely a cherry on the cake. Would love to revisit soon.

The Taj service is always something amazing! Grand welcome, lovely rooms and spectacular beach!!! Enjoyed the dining options here and had an amazing massage by Priyanka! Highlight was also the 50m pool overlooking the ocean, serene! Loved it

The Linen in the room was so perfect. I have never slept in such a comfortable bed. It was like I’m sleeping on a cloud. The way the room was. It was a huge room cleanliness on top. The view from the beach was absolutely amazing. I would recommend everyone to have a stay at this wonderful property.
