What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Culinary Delight

Dining at the Backwater Café was a true highlight of my stay. The breakfast options were divine, particularly the authentic South Indian dosas, which were cooked to perfection. During lunch, Arun recommended the best dishes according to our tastes. It was impressive how attentive the team was, and even for their seafood, they ensure freshness by serving it at a temperature just right. This experience definitely enhanced my culinary journey!

Family-Friendly Activities

I was delighted with the children's amenities available at the resort. There were plenty of engaging activities to keep my kids entertained, including indoor games and outdoor adventures. Labonya in the indoor games area was fantastic, always ensuring my daughter had something fun to do while we relaxed. This thoughtful approach made our family vacation even more enjoyable.

Taj Bekal offers a beautiful setting with stunning backwaters and a private beach, providing a great environment for a relaxing getaway. The architecture and layout of the rooms are commendable, particularly the ones with plunge pools, but some maintenance issues need attention. Dining experiences vary; while local cuisine is delicious, the overall food quality sometimes doesn't meet expectations. Though staff demonstrated a friendly demeanor, service inconsistency was a downside during my stay.
