Taj Bekal Resort & Spa, Kerala

We were very happy with the stay, amazing staff that makes this property shine very high, apart from the beautiful rooms and super delicious food. Few names to note are Hritika, Soumyajit, Dipankar, Sabin, Prem amongst the extraordinary others, all were amazing. Definitely will highly recommend the experience.

A complete package for relaxing amidst natural surroundings coupled with excellent stay experience, amenities, food and personalised service. The rooms are designed for ultimate pampering and amenities within resort helping you to unwind and rejuvenate. In all, a place to visit and create memories for long.

My most memorable stay at Taj. Super efficient team led by Mr.Shiju. The hospitality was next level. My family and I would recommend Taj Bekal as must visit place where the guests are truely treated as “ Atithi Devo bhaav”. My special mention would be Jason, Vishnu and Helina, chavi and Aakash who made our stay very comfortable. Thank you team Taj Bekal. It’s like “Wah Taj”

Awesome stay, beautiful property, and nice facilities inside the resort. Moonlight rafting is good experience. Food is awesome, staff is extremely courteous. Stroll at Backwater and beach is peaceful. High tea service is really good. All facilities inside the resort

It is unexpected. I have stayed at almost all Taj properties, this one is something different. It is not clean at all. Outside as well as inside the room. We had to wait for check in as the room was not ready. So we sent to the beach and went for lunch after that. We ordered a pasta and noodles. Noodles were good but pasta was too bad. It was tasting like some Indian vegetable. We had requested for a cake. It was so tiny. The hotel had kept a paper knife with cake. Nobody has an issue with paying extra for a cake. Please next time onwards, keep a decent cake and at least keep a butter knife ***** with the cake. We are staying in premium villa with courtyard and plunge pool. Everything is dirty. I’ll attach pictures ***** with this review. Bathtub, area surrounding it. Room’s main door. Just outside the door. Flies in bathroom inside room. Most disgusting thing; the western commode is dirty. Pathetic!!!!! The TV inside this room is very tiny. No speakers. It is not even a smart TV. How is this a Taj Exotica??!! At least keep a smart TV and speakers. How will people staying in this room will listen to music while in pool ??

The resort itself is awesome, landscapes are great. But the Taj'ness is missing, somehow we didn't get the same customer service we expect from Taj, looks like Marriott has taken over in that department, Marriott is just superb. The smiles we got was fake, didn't know who the manager was, he never introduced himself/herself. Restaurant was below average, given there's not a whole lot to do in Bekal, that was a real dissatisfier. Overall I don't think I am recommending to anyone nor am I going back.

We had a great time at Taj Bekal,the staff was very supportive special thanks to Mr Amit and team who helped us in great way.We were upgraded to Villa..The buffet spread was great too. . Overall the experience was great and we made good memories ☺️

Resort with beautifully-kept grounds. The plunge-pool villas are outstanding - the rooms are comfortable and well-designed and appointed, with large sliding interior doors opening up to a long, natural-light filled bathroom. The outside patio is very private, but does not feel closed-in at all - it offers a stand alone canopy-covered bathtub, an open-air shower, an oversized swing lounger, and of course, an extra-large plunge pool. Only comment for improvement is that a better upkeeping of some of the wall trims and fixture details would really take these rooms and the whole experience to the next level. The resort pool is absolutely gorgeous - perched over the lawns, surrounded by greenery, good for swimming, featuring a separate area for kids to swim/play. The beach, however beautiful and clean, is not suitable for swimming and does have any infrastructure, like sun loungers. Addressing the beach erosion issue that maybe preventing it from being swimmable would definitely drive this property to the next level, Highly recommend the kayaking in the hotel’s own backwater space - safe, very tranquil and gives an idea of the natural beauty of the backwaters flora and fauna (a lot of birds!). Spa is great, with local therapies and competent service. Gym is reasonably appointed and its best feature is that it opens up to the green outdoor spaces and as a result, the working out area is filled with natural light, which is great when working out. Beach restaurant serves unpretentious, local, quality food. Breakfast and all-day dinning are adequate (although the space at the back feels out of place for a five-star resort). Front desk welcoming and overall service are all great.

Awesome place to be with family and friends. Fantastic location and you will enjoy everything in the resort. Perfect holiday destination to relax with clean beaches and lovely swimming pools. Wonderful and spacious rooms. Great food. Just experience it.
