Taj - as always, never disappoints.
I’ve stayed in many Taj properties over the years and there’s a reason I keep coming back. The team at Taj Samudra were always attentive and on point during my stay. No matter the late arrival hour (past midnight), or looking for a restaurant, they were always ready to assist. The property is starting to show its age, but this is beyond staff control. I’d encourage the owners to spend a little to spruce up the property a little especially as it has such a beautiful frontage to the sea! Thank you, Taj Samudra team, for a wonderful experience.

Run down hotel, horrible customer service
Ocean view Deluxe room on top floor smells musty, bugs flying in the room. Bathroom and toilet have glass door so there is no privacy if two people are traveling together. We asked our room to be changed, manager tried his best to delay changing the room, made us wait 4 hours. Eventually we were changed to a city view Jr suite room, which fixed some of the above mentioned issues. Even this room is run down, bathroom door is crooked & barely closes, mini bar is not stocked, no after hour coffee in the business center, strong smoke smell is the hallway when we booked non-smoking room. Being an Indian American, I wanted this hotel to be good (since it's an Indian luxury hotel chain). Sadly It's an overpriced, run down hotel and no attention is being paid to hotel maintenance and customer comfort. I wouldn't recommend this hotel at this price point.

Taj Samudra had incredible hospitality and really elevated rooms. The fact they have reusable bottle program shows that they care for the environment and want to be sustainable. Also it’s right across the water, so you can do a quick walk by the sea any time. The buffet food was good, not exceptional especially the vegetarian options were mediocre at best. Although the stand alone restaurant Navratna had smashing food.
