Taj Bekal Resort & Spa, Kerala

A nice idyllic holiday place. Lovely rooms with a swing bed in the balcony .. nice airy rooms . Lovely all Inclusive resort .. with a beach and backwaters . Taj hospitality very good as usual . Were given an early Check in since we reached by 10 am from Mumbai . Special mention of the Sadhya- traditional Kerela banana leaf meal we had plus the free high tea available near the poolside everyday .. lovely stay

Our stay at Taj Bekal was amazing. The location of the resort is just superb, it is not too far from the city and at the same time it offers a quiet and peaceful stay. The backwaters and the access to the beach is great! We did not explore the activities much, though they offer a good set. Bekal Fort is just 10 minutes drive and it offers stunning views, it is a must visit place.

A trip to Bekal. It was a 3nights 4 days trip. We started from mumbai with Air India direct flight to ***galore which was approximately 90 min. We had pre booked the hotel taxi which is about 2 hrs drive to Taj Bekal Resort. Chauffeur Mr.PRASHANTH was very friendly & informative. As we reached the Resort we had a warm welcome, it was an express check in. We had book Premium Villa with Courtyard and Plunge Pool King Bed which was spacious. Plunge pool was not that great need the renovation but , the swing had all the joy ,great time in bathtub with hot water as it was raining heavily. There is no privacy too pool, swing & bat tub as it all connected to lawn to the other side i.e. lawn facing back water. Architecture is decent has maintained a good height which gives it very grand look. Resort is widely connected to back water also it was so quiet that we were able to hear the sea waves sound clearly. Toilets & bath area is good with all Forest Essence cosmetics & hygiene Maintained by the house keeping. Food:The Food option were less as they have only two restaurants & one bar. We had buffet for dinner but the options were very less. The breakfast has also a same problem there were ***y repeated options. Being a brand TAJ this was not expected, *though quality of the food is good there is no doubt in it* . Personal attention was been giving by the restaurant staff ( Back water cafe), special thanks to Tanuja and Yashoda. In room dining was good we had ordered pizza that was very freshly prepared & warm served , Chicken tandoor tikka which was supposed to be served with salad dressing, was served with Sprouts and that too at night which I didn’t like at all. Hi-tea is the very good event they have every evening. They had presented all the local food Spa: We had pre booked the slots for aroma therepy Threapist RUTH was good with the pressure we required. The spa rooms are very big & carm. we enjoyed it. The ***aging staff is good, very helpful all the time ,Buggy service is good no more waiting . The time of check out the the billing was ready & smooth check out they gave us the momentum as token off remembers. Had a great loving stay

From the moment you step onto the property, you're enveloped in an atmosphere of warmth and hospitality that sets the tone for an unforgettable experience. Staff is welcoming and hospitable . Check-in and check out process is a breeze. After the check-in, we were escorted to our wonderful villa. We had some privacy concerns due to bushes not being close enough to each other leaving gaps near the private pool and requested for a room change. They promptly offered me an upgraded (we didnt take that since our villa was much more airy than the upgraded one). Breakfast and spread and the buffet spread at dinner is just marvelous, variety at live counters is lovely. Taj Bekal Resort & Spa is more than just a luxury retreat, it is one of the best Taj wherever I have stayed so far.

The rooms are huge, pretty and cozy!!! The hospitality of the staff here is amazing… A place that can calm you down… Property has backwater, beach that can give you good vibes. Food is amazing, especially the breakfast and seafood!

Very good calm and serene atmosphere , nice staff and good resturent pool time should be more atleast u til 10 night . Beach access is good. Food breakfast is very good. Pool shall have pool bar facility which would be good. Would recomend for a family relaxing weekend destination . Good

Property is very nice and well maintained. Rooms are spacious and well laid out. Rooms interior could have been better but it’s fine. Activity room was also good and curated activities for kids are nice. Evening high tea was good could be better. Coming to food we were not really impressed. Dinner we ordered a la carte was good but breakfast was not that great. Taste of food especially Indian section needs improvement. Fruits and bakery items was good. Overall a pleasant stay, staff was also very nice and cooperative. Overall a good experience but few suggestions which have mentioned can be considered for improvement.

Wonderful property with courteous staff and good food. It also hosts a good combination of activities to do and relaxing possibilities. Must visit for anyone who is looking to experience the best of Kerela. Do ensure that you do the moonlight rafting which is a one of its kind experience!!

Spent two days in Taj Bekal. The whole experience was superb. The cottages were large with their own pool. Food was amazing . What felt great was that the staff there was from all over India. ***di , Punjab , Bihar and all so gracious & ready to go out of their way to make you comfortable. Thank you Taj Bekal team from the duty ***ager , to the chef to the restaurant ***ager. 🙏🙏. Sorry I am really bad with names. Just one thing chai kedaa time of 30 minutes was too short 😂😂
