Taj Bekal is a stunning resort set in a picturesque location that offers both beach and backwater views. The rooms are spacious and well-designed but need some maintenance and a touch-up. While the staff is attentive and service-oriented, the dining experience lacks variety, especially at breakfast. The overall ambiance is luxurious, but some aspects, such as the housekeeping and limited dining options, fall short of a five-star experience.

My stay at this resort was absolutely unforgettable! The villas are spacious and well-designed, with a wonderful private plunge pool that made our anniversary celebration even more special. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcomed and taken care of, which made a real difference. However, while the dining options were generally tasty, they could be a bit repetitive.

I had a mixed experience at the resort. The rooms are beautifully designed with a lot of private space, perfect for family fun. However, the maintenance needs serious improvement, and I encountered some issues like cracked paint and faulty air conditioning. While the location is absolutely stunning, nestled near both the backwater and the sea, I found the service to not quite meet the brand's usual standards. Dining was an area of disappointment with bland food options and poorly managed buffet arrangements, which affected the overall luxury experience I'd anticipated.

The resort has nice facilities, but they also feel a bit underwhelming given the overall price tag. More attention to detail in the upkeep would enhance the experience.

This resort is located in a unique area where you can truly connect with nature. The rooms are spacious and come with a lovely balcony swing, but they could use a bit more attention to cleanliness. The service, while warm, unfortunately does not meet the high standards expected from this brand, with several service lapses noted. On the plus side, the beautiful surroundings and charming design of the villas make for a memorable stay overall.
