Taj Malabar Resort & Spa, Cochin.

My mother and I spent two wonderful days in this exceptionally nice and beautiful hotel. We were immediately upgraded to a big heritage room that was tastefully decorated and full of charm with the most elegant lighting. The breakfast had pleasant surprises like smoked salmon slices, pork salami and a variety of dishes that could be ordered. The in-house restaurants also serve very tasty food, including one of the best tenderloin burgers in South India, which I ate at Pepper. There is a great collection of coffee table books that you can borrow and sit in the common areas and watch the ships sail by. The outdoor spaces are even more beautiful and romantic at night. There are also lovely cultural performances. The best part was how the staff took care of me. Special thanks to Jasmine, Cindrella and Angel, as well as members of the management such as Amol and Jihan.

Oh my gooodness, where do I begin. From their beautfiul oasis of a property with every facility you could need my sister and I had an amazing staycation at the Taj Malabar. We were only there for one night, but the staff made us feel so very welcome - and I mean every single staff member we encoutered! We had fabulous food with a made-on-request item at breakfast from Chef Sunil, great service at the restaurant from Alex and Dinesh, Latheef gave us amazing information about their garden and plants, Jasmine gave us a warm welcome and a great boat tour. There was an out of this world floral arrangement at the entrance and we were given an extensive overview of how that beauty comes together. We really enjoyed our stay overall but the staff made it extra special. The room in and of itself had a great view (501) and was impeccably decorated, with a smart TV. Super comfy bed and sheets - as with all hotels in the Taj family.

The location is the best part. All the staff are very friendly, complementary activities are very good

I loved the serene atmosphere, the exceptional hospitality, and the attention to every detail that made my stay unforgettable
