Taj Madikeri Resort & Spa Coorg

Just when we feel that they can’t do better than the previous Taj property we visited we are proved wrong yet again . Taj defines the word hospitality to a different level. Every staff member is super efficient and always ready to help . Alert and attentive stewards Gowtham and Nilesh , perfectionist Chef Raja , the polite check in and front desk team , the smiling buggy drivers , the prompt house keeping would all score a perfect 10. Food in all restaurants was outstanding. The Dew with its Healthy options. The Grill with its candle light dinner ambience, the traditional thali .. every meal was outstanding. The Spa is a must visit .. the Guddha authentic copper bucket hot bath and scub gives nothing less than a queen feeling . The lobby has a unique charm with it’s openness and views of the valley Rooms are nice with decent views Some suggestions only for the rooms : 1. Some more light or a lamp especially near the desk . The room was extremely dim post sunset . 2. The blinds !!! They were a task to put up and down . We had to call the staff for this each time ( they came within minutes ! ) . Curtains may have been an easier option as the blinds were also dusty in parts 3. A full length or a small mirror in the room as there is only a mirror in the bathroom 4. The hair dryer looked old and outdated 5. A steam iron would be better than the regular iron provided 6. The wood work behind the bed is beautifully carved .. but impossible to clean am sure as many edges were filled with dust All in all a wonderful hotel and a must visit Superb team work Taj .. look forward to visiting again some day

Great experience, great resort. The service is really great. I enjoyed my stay with my wife. This resprt is a hotspot for bird watchers. Food is amazing, I had dinner at poolside grills restaurant, at was amazing experience under starlight and bonfire.

Everything about the stay was impeccable. We were received very warmly at the property, the views were stunning, the room very comfortable. As is usual with Taj, the service was above and beyond expectations. Gloria was excellent as were the chefs at Dew and the naturalist who took us on our walks. Could not have asked for a better holiday. Thank you

We had a great stay here. Apart from the welcome (which did not have the usual Taj warmth), we were pampered by the staff. We get some wonderful views from the lobby and from the rooms. We were excited about using the temperature controlled pool but were disappointed as the water was quite cold. It was supposed to be at 29 deg but due to wind chill factor, was much colder. Taj should really review this of keeping the pool at 29 deg and if the guest wants it warmer, should increase the temperature. Afterall, the infinity pool in mountains is one of the attractions of the property. We ended up spending some time in the open jacuzzi as the water was a bit warmer there. Suva and Ricky at Ferntree restaurant were there to take care of our needs. In fact the entire staff at the restaurant was warm and welcoming, encouraging you to try various dishes. In fact, after the restaurant at Lake Palace Udaipur, this was the place where we were pampered the most. It is worth going just to enjoy the hospitality. We went for the nature walk where Nitin shared information on the local topography. He kept it interesting. Boltas took us around the property in the buggy, highlighting various aspects. All in all, a wonderful memorable stay, though we missed using the swimming pool.

We had a 7-night memorable sojourn in Taj Madikeri. It is an idyllic get away in scenic and verdant surroundings. Our stay was made particularly comfortable and memorable because of the dedicated staff of the resort who, through their eye for detail, micro-planning and an overall determination to give value and the best experience to each and every guest, ensured that all our needs were fulfilled in the shortest possible time. My wife and I would specifically like to highlight the contributions of the following members of the resort team: REBITA SINGHA, the Duty Manager of the property during a stay, was most knowledgeable, helpful & proactive in her attitude and offered many suggestions that enriched our 7-night stay. AROOPA, from the Front Office impressed us with her detailed & helpful introductory briefing and was available at all times for any assistance and planning we required, especially related to concierge-services UMESH, the F&B Manager, and his dedicated & tireless team that managed Ferntree, Grills and Hive (amongst other restaurants) to the delight of all guests. NIKHIL waited on us during most of the breakfast sessions in the open area of Ferntree. His breakfast coffee was a treat for any coffee aficionado so we labeled it: "Nikhil's special coffee". To our delight, he served us at Grills as well during an excellent dinner by the poolside. Akshay, with detailed knowledge of the Kodagu cuisine, was always at hand to help us enjoy the finest dinners in Ferntree. Gowtham who curated our in-room dining experience on 3 occasions with care, efficiency and professionalism.

This is one of the classiest resort with spacious villas. We booked villa with pool and it was easiest one of the biggest villa I have stayed in India and outside. Villas are designed to give you 270 degree view of the property. Mine was overlooking a pond and thick forested area. Pool is temperature controlled allowing you to use it anytime. Having a proper dining table inside villa allows you to have in room dining. Best part is that it is pet friendly. Walk in woods with our pet was amazing. Service is prompt as they go out of their way to address your needs.
