First time staying in Taj properties were not a disappointment. Service was impeccable, the restaurant verandha was amazing for breakfast. We did spend some time at the bar in the ground floor, the lady who was singing that evening just killed it!!! Good bar food and decent cocktails.

We had a wonderful stay at Taj. Travelling down from Sydney, we had a convenient pick up from the airport. The staff were very friendly and the service was amazing. Sakshi at the front desk and Yuvraj at the Verandah were amazing to deal with and we were looked after really well. Would love to stay again.

Karthigesan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really enjoyed our stay at Taj Connemara! The staff were all super friendly and soooo accommodating. It seemed like nothing was too much of an ask. The property had a grand British colonial feel about it. I’d say it’s historic but not dated. Really nice pool. Gym could be bigger but it was adequate (and better than most hotels). I lift regularly and was able to get a decent workout in. Good choice of eateries inside the hotel walls. Breakfast buffet was great - special call out to Shaji who always kept the coffee coming & made our stay special! Highly recommended - I’d happily stay again
