An idyllic island escape, Taj Exotica Resort & Spa, The Palm, Dubai is a distinctive beach resort nestled on the iconic Palm Jumeirah, set against the sparkling Arabian Gulf and Dubai’s shimmering skyline. Leave the world behind and sink into the welcoming embrace of β€˜Tajness’ and an array of exotic experiences.

With luxurious accommodations, seven outstanding restaurants and bars, an award-winning spa and the longest pool on the Palm’s crescent, a stay at our resort is a constant voyage of discovery, serenity and celebration.

Disappointing Stay

A Disappointing Stay at Taj Exotica – Far Below Expectations I had very high expectations of Taj Exotica, especially given the standards and reputation of the Taj hotel in Mumbai. Unfortunately, our experience was nowhere near what we expected from a hotel of this calibre. My partner, our two-year-old daughter, my mother and I stayed at the hotel for 10 nights, and we were deeply disappointed by the standards of hygiene, food quality and service. Room cleanliness and hygiene As soon as we checked in, we noticed small strands of hair on the bedding and hair on the room telephone. I have attached a photograph as evidence. The decorative cushions were also unhygienic, with visible dirt marks on the pillowcases. This was an extremely disappointing first impression and raised serious concerns about the room's cleanliness. Breakfast and food hygiene The breakfast experience was equally disappointing. On two separate occasions, we found small black hairs in our yoghurt, which was left uncovered and exposed. We also observed staff handling food with their bare hands, without using gloves or tongs. Most concerningly, our two-year-old daughter became very unwell during our stay. We were concerned that food cross-contamination may have been a contributing factor. As a family travelling with a young child, we expected much higher standards of food safety and hygiene. The breakfast staff were also not particularly welcoming or attentive, which further detracted from the overall experience. Eventually, I received a refund of 3,000 dirhams. For the remaining six days, my family and I chose to have breakfast at another hotel on the Palm. This turned out to be an excellent decision, as we thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast there and felt much more comfortable with our choice. Beach, pool and outdoor areas We were also disappointed by the condition of the outdoor facilities. Staff were openly smoking around the beach and poolside areas, which was particularly unpleasant for families with young children. The beach appeared poorly maintained, with cigarette butts and litter scattered around. The pool also did not appear to be adequately cleaned during our stay, so we decided not to use it. Overall experience For a hotel carrying the Taj name, we expected exceptional standards of cleanliness, food hygiene, attentive service and well-maintained facilities. Sadly, our experience fell significantly short in all these areas. A 10-night family holiday should be relaxing and enjoyable, but these issues had a considerable impact on our stay. The hygiene concerns were particularly troubling given that we were travelling with a two-year-old child. Unfortunately, Taj Exotica did not live up to its reputation or our expectations. Based on our experience, I would encourage the management to take a serious look at its housekeeping, food-handling practices, staff service and maintenance of the beach and pool areas.
