Had gone to Taj Vivanta for our business conference in late-April and had a fantastic experience. The room was by far one of the biggest room that I have stayed in, complete with a separate area with a swing bed. The room overlooked the backwaters. The beach is hardly a couple of hundred meters from the resort entrance and is... More

It's a wow property to enter, stay and relax. The achitecture is exceptional with mounted rooms, local style hammock on the balcony of the room. All the rooms are spread over this vast property which are like a villa next to the other. Being a business visit, we could not experience all the facilities here but I am told the... More

Fantastic location on the beach and very quiet. The Spa was a bit of a let down. The mens sauna was not working at all. The jacuzzi was only partly working.... More

Staff is very helpful and always smiling. The beach was very clean and it seemed as though we had almost the entire beach to ourselves. Kids enjoyed the fish pond. They took bread from the breakfast buffet to feed the fish and none of the staff complained. We enjoyed riding the cycles around the property and were happy that we... More

Taj echoes service hospitality and makes the guest feel like a king. They never ever say a NO to the guest, and I think that sums it all. The pool villa is WOW and don't miss the spa experience no matter what. Just back and wanna return!
