Amazing place!
It was an amazing experience all made possible by the kind Accommodations Manager Mr. Ashok N, the GM Mr. Vishal Srivastava and the Executive Chef Mr.Tapan Sahoo. They were very courteous and warm. The room was spacious and well lit. The ambience and surroundings were peaceful and lush green. The guided Nature Walk led by Mr. Muniswamy was educative and interesting. The food was very good. Overall, a truly five star experience in the bustling Madurai City!

The property is amazing but they are ruining the “TAJ”name . The first room they gave us had horrible sewer back up smell and musty odor that made me gag and cough all night and next day we requested a change of room and they did change it which is good but it should not come to that . There was “hair “ in the food. The server had such horrible body odors and sweat smell which was over powering the smell of the food they were serving

The over all property was very good. Big sized room. Lovely location, beautiful surroundings. Lots and lots of peacocks offering a wonderful sight as well as lots of photo taking opportunities. However, the bathroom and its fittings were outdated and badly need renovation.
