This hotel is the reason I signed up for tripadvisor. As you can guess by my overall rating I did not have a pleasant experience. This was the last stop of a 12 day south India Tour. My girlfriend and I arrived around noon from 3,5 h journey from Alleppey. As we checked in early I did not expect our... More

Going out of season we got decent room rates so thought we would end our India trip at the Taj Gateway. The Good - The new rooms (seaview) are superb and made our stay very comfortable.

We arrived late, but still had to wait for our room to be sorted out, not the best start when you've just had a 20 hour journey. The room itself was faultless, private garden, big bathroom, air conditioning and a fridge. Bed was comfy and towels changed daily. Swimming pool was excellent, perfectly maintained with plenty of sun beds and... More

After we ran away screaming from our initial hotel The Oceano, we sighed with relief after choosing the Taj Gateway. It has a lovely pool and gardens, great views, and the beach is easily accessed. The rooms in the old part are outdated, but the rooms in the new parts are great! The food was ok, nothing special, but we... More
