Taj Villas were amazing and icing on the cake was its location, it was right on Radhanagar beach, where sunset is mesmerizing. Taj concierge was awesome who helped me book the Havelock ferry at last time to reach Havelock soon and the transport all the way was smooth and top notch. Rajeev the Taj Manager was also very professional and kind and Shubham at the Settlers restaurant was very helpful and his service was great. My overall experience was awesome and would highly recommend this place.

This property is one of the best Taj properties I’ve ever stayed in. Right on Radhanagar beach. Beautiful villas, excellent, above and beyond customer service. Amazing tall trees all around the property. A few examples of the staff protectiveness - giving sea sickness tablets for my daughter after checking if any of us had any issues. They also did our check in at the ferry for our return. The take away breakfast were beautifully & thoughtfully packaged. The beach staff Joy, also guided us to the turtle hatchery shared wonderful wildlife videos with us. The chef Nilesh made some amazing Marathi delicacies for us, once he came to know we were Marathi. The master diver Daniel made sure we had chosen the best diving sites (which we had booked outside of Taj) he even helped my son learn how to equalise under water, which was such a big help during scuba diving the next day! Except for the mosquitos I have no complaints about anything! It was truly an exceptional stay. We can’t wait to come back.

I thoroughly relished my time at Taj Exotica Andaman Islands. It was an immensely peaceful and relaxing time, enhanced by the care and attention offered by staff in all areas of the resort. I appreciated the spaciousness of the resort, beautiful natural wildlife and access to the pristine beach. The staff conduct weekly beach clean-ups and there was a clear commitment to environmental stewardship. I especially appreciated the free, readily accessible, bottled (in glass) drinking water. Although I learned it is difficult to grow many fruits and vegetables on site, there was a small garden mostly boasting herbs. The resort has only two dining options. However, one venue essentially had two restaurants (Middle Eastern lunch menu and Mexican evening menu) and the other has an extensive Indian and Continental menu. The food and drink available were sufficiently varied and very tasty! For coffee drinkers, the rooms only provide coffee powder, but the selection in the restaurants kept me happy for the duration of my six night stay! I opted for an extensive package at the spa so enjoyed a wonderful body scrub, massage and facial. It was absolutely wonderful! The pool is lovely, and quite large. There is a glass screen on one side, which means if you're in the pool and just want to take in the view, you are looking through that to see the forest and ocean. It would have been much nicer if there was a clear view, but it is perhaps to keep out unwanted visitors! There were a range of free and paid options for activities, the latter of which were a little overpriced so I was not tempted to avail. Plus the resort was just so relaxing there was no need! There were lovely little surprises and sweet touches here and there that added to my enjoyment during the stay. The staff were super helpful and always eager to help ensure we were comfortable. They were attentive and responsive. There were a few times when things weren't entirely clear or were not communicated well (i.e. no food and drinks allowed on the beach - except for the daily afternoon tea, or by the pool before 10:00 a.m. and the closure of one of the restaurants one evening due to an event). However, there were valid reasons for everything and once things were explained it was easy to understand how things worked on the island. Overall, it was an incredible stay and I am eager to return to this wonderful resort!

I can't say enough good things about our family's stay at Taj Andaman. Again and again I was impressed by the personal attention and gracious attitudes all around. I expected this to be a once in a lifetime place I would come, but this experience was so incredible and the Andamans are so lovely that I'm planning a return journey, despite this being half way around the world for me. I want to call out some staff that were above and beyond in their level of care and service: 1) Arjama who took care of each and every need promptly and with a smile. I especially appreciated the surprise garden tour and tea she arranged for us, as gardening is one of my passions. 2) Shukracharya drove us around the property and his tour was so appreciated because of his knowledge of the flora and willingness to share that with me. He also arranged to have the beach gate opened for me before sunrise and some of my favorite memories are watching the sunrise alone on the beach. 3) Santosh and Raja at the beach looked after us so well when we relaxed there, offering us towels, cold washcloths and water without being asked. They made us and our belongings feel secure when we went out for a swim. So many wonderful staff at the restaurant I really need a separate space to list them all! 4) Sai was excellent serving us at dinners, answering all of my mom's questions about food patiently and attending to us with grace and ease. Since my daughter is gluten-free, Sai took special care to make sure anything she ordered was safe for her to eat. He also called the kitchen when we were at tea to check what she could eat there. 5) Shubham was likewise excellent at dinner as well as breakfast. He organized a goodbye cake cutting for us on our last day and decorated the table-so kind! 6) As Americans, we really like our coffee, and Marina at Shoreline made my daughter and me the BEST vanilla iced lattes every morning at breakfast. 7) Vishal served us promptly and greeted us with a smile in the morning. 8) And finally, I had the good fortune to meet Joydeep who although works at the Spa was at the pool on the last day, and gave me a wonderful book about trees on the property. Priceless was the valuable information he gave about touring the Andamans. You should put him in a position to allow him to share his passion and interest in tourism throughout the Andamans. He made me excited to come again and explore more than just Swaraj Dweep. Although of course I must come stay here again. :)
