Taj Madikeri Resort & Spa Coorg

My search for the perfect 50th birthday getaway ended when a friend recommended Taj Madikeri. It truly was the best place to celebrate! As the lobby doors opened, the vast valley view and infinity pool unfolded—a stunning and serene sight I’ll never forget. The warm welcome was lovely, complete with a traditional tikka and a cup of aromatic BELLA Coorgi coffee that my taste buds still miss. We stayed in the beautiful Premium Villas. Peter gave us a wonderful, warm welcome that set a great tone for the trip. I also met the General Manager, Vikas, who assured us the next three days would be fun and relaxing—he was absolutely right! The resort had so many activities that the car we booked to go out was left standing idle. Wellness and Nature's Focus My time was focused on wellness and nature. I was happy to do yoga all three days! Ved from the Wellness team was amazing; he taught me great yoga postures to specifically help with my sciatica pain. Beyond yoga, I loved exploring the property, feeding the ducks and fish, making pottery, clocking 15,000 steps daily, and using the excellent gym. The resort’s commitment to nature and sustainability was clear. For my birthday, Sonu from housekeeping beautifully decorated our room with leaves and petals. And Pratham, the naturalist, took us on an amazing rainforest walk, sharing invaluable tips on preserving the environment. The Food and the Fantastic Team The celebration sparkled at dinner! My birthday meal was a delicious five-course feast at the grill. Chef Rahul made a slow-cooked dal that was absolutely divine and a highlight of the trip. Umesh, the Food & Beverage Director, and his team were fantastic. They were always there to make sure we had exactly what we wanted, including the delicious local Coorgi food. A big thank you to the entire Taj Madikeri team - Vikas, Umesh, Peter, Sonu, Sukanta/Rahul from F&B and Ved - for making my 50th birthday a magical, restorative, and truly unforgettable event!

To The General Manager Taj Madikeri Resort & Spa, Coorg Subject: Extremely Pathetic Hotel Experience – Request for Immediate Attention Dear Sir, I am writing to share my very disappointing experience during my recent stay at your property. We checked in on 18th September and were allotted rooms 505 and 506. From the moment we arrived, our experience was below expectations of the Taj brand: 1. Transport from Reception to Rooms: We were taken in a modified jeep with extremely narrow seats. The ride was bumpy, highly uncomfortable, and certainly not what one expects from a luxury property. Taj should use better, more comfortable vehicles to minimize the discomfort of guests traveling across the resort. 2. Room Access Issue: Upon arrival at 8:00 PM, the jeep dropped us and left. Unfortunately, both our room keys did not work. We were stranded in a remote area with no way to contact reception, as no phone number was provided and there was no house phone near the cottages. This situation left us frightened and helpless. Only because the driver luckily heard our calls and returned were we able to eventually get assistance. Such an incident is unacceptable and a serious lapse in guest safety and service. 3. Room Quality & Maintenance: The rooms were very ordinary in décor and facilities. Coming directly from a stay at Marriott in the same city, where we were charged ₹30,000 per night, we expected Taj—charging ₹40,000 per night—to offer a superior experience. Instead, the cottages looked neglected, with paint peeling on the exteriors and interiors that lacked refinement. 4 The Room entry paints were chipped and outside wall full of fungus and grass no maintenance outside cottage Overall, the experience was more like that of an average resort, not a luxury Taj property. My Suggestions for Immediate Improvement: • Provide comfortable and safe transport for guests within the resort. • Ensure that drivers wait until guests successfully enter their rooms before leaving. • Install house phones outside every cottage for emergencies and quick access to reception. Frankly, unless significant improvements are made, the Taj brand name should not be associated with this property, as it does not reflect the standards of luxury, comfort, and safety that Taj Hotels are known for. I urge you to take corrective measures immediately. Otherwise, guests like us will certainly rethink staying at Taj properties in the future. Sincerely, Rajendra singhi

Best resort and spa in India. Best hospitality, best views, top notch experience, min 2 nights is required and all activities are a must.

Our recent stay at Taj Madikeri was truly unforgettable! From the breathtaking ambiance at the entrance, surrounded by clouds, mist, and rain, to the luxurious 5-star rooms, we felt like royalty. The warm welcome from the chef and executives set the tone for an amazing stay. The special birthday touches, including the surprise message, cake, and buggy rides, were delightful. The temperature-controlled pool, Jacuzzi, kids' activity room, and grills restaurant were all top-notch. The Independence Day celebration was a highlight, and the food buffet and breakfast were the icing on the cake. We also loved the archery section and the common pool area! A huge thank you to the entire team at Taj Madikeri for making our stay so memorable.

Beautiful property with uninterrupted views of lush greenery and open sky.You will need atleast 3 days to fully explore the resort and wide range of activities and facilities it offers. It is nestled amidst the lush evergreen rainforest of Coorg.Because the resort is 4000 Feet above the sea level, the property has pretty steep climbs all over. Come prepared if you don't want to rely too much on buggies(though the buggies are just one call away) and enjoy the walk in and around the property. Despite this we saw many elderly people enjoying their stay there which says a lot about the accessibity and thoughtful service. The Resort offers many outdoor activites like ziplining,paintball, kayaking, Archery, Nature's Trail, Rainforest walk etc and also has an indoor games room. They even have a small herb garden and a strawberry garden looked after by a wonderful lady who walked us around the herb garden talking about all the herbs growing there,we also got to eat strawberries, gooseberries from the garden!! I was taken back to my childhood days when i got to eat mulberries from the trees planted there. Our highlight was the Morning Nature's Trail.The walk was guided by Mr. Pradhan - passionate nature lover who shared his knowledge throughout the walk. The service and hospitality at Taj hotels is one of the best in the world, no wonder it is so highly rated. A heartfelt thanks to Ms. Rebita Singha and Mr. Ginil Varghese who took care of every need and made our stay a memorable one. The only area which need slight improvement is the service at the restaurant .They were slightly short-staffed at the dining area due to which the order was taking longer to arrive.Also the breakfast buffet spread wasn't as extensive as Taj Mumbai or Bhubaneshwar. Thank you, Taj Coorg, for an unforgettable stay.
