Slightly confused hotel, which bounces between honeymoon/resort hotel and business hotel. Rooms in the new block are very modern and well set up for business, whilst the ‘cottages’ are not designed to work in, so make your choice carefully. Like most Indian 5 star hotels, it wouldn’t rate 5 stars elsewhere. Service and food pleasant but not exceptional. Set in... More

I stayed here just 1 night in April to get away from the heat,noise and dust of Chennai for just 1 night during a recent business trip. It is rated as a 5 star hotel, whilst nice I is certainly no 5 star. I stayed in one of the room on the first floor(over the restaurant). This was not a... More

Great welcome on our arrival, typical Taj style. Was happy to see the GM of the resort Mr B C Kumar making it a point to meet all the guests at breakfast. These people at Taj are a different breed altogether and they sure know how to deal with guests. was very impressed by this gesture. Mr Patrick the Duty... More

Stayed for 3 nights. Not sure if it's a private beach but pretty much feels like one.. You can spend hours together lounging by the sea on well placed seating arrangements..... Food is great and so is the service ...... spa is a must visit while you are spending time there .... There catamaran is also a must try if... More

Stayed in the new wing of hotel rooms on a business trip and was shocked to find the design included a glass wall between the bathroom and bed...two glass walls around the toilet. I would recomend staying in a cottage next time unless you are an exhibitionist. On an up note, the staff was amazing. Spent a lazy afternoon poolside... More

Needed a short haul stay over in Chennai prior to catching an international flight following night. My kids enjoyed the seaside cottage, the enjoyable pool(with kid's play area) and the beach itself. the property is well suited for rejuvenating yourself.

There are two types of accommodations at this location, hotel rooms in the main building and cottages nearer the seashore. I had a room in the main building, while not as quaint as a cottage, it had a far better view of the ocean. The large veranda around the building left plenty of seating for anyone taking in the breeze.... More

I have been here a few times. Like other taj hotels the fisherman's cove is not upto to it. The Hotel over all is good. The place could do well with some renovation and I hope it is done by now. The food is good but the buffer is very expensive. One could get a fantastic buffet in the city... More

It has been rated as 5 stars. However, I cannot consider it more than 3 stars. If you have to visit Chennai - India for business, it is your best option. It is recommended to avoid being around the hotel at late night. I didn't feel neither comfort nor safe during my stay in Chennai. Very poor people surrounding you... More

We stayed there for this weekend. Our high expectations were normalised within the first 30 minutes of our wait to get a room allocated. All guests were given a nice welcome garland made of shells - our experience was given a new high when we were informed (upon we asking) that they 'forgot' to give us our welcome garland. We... More
