“"That's Why Its Taj"”

Taj Vivanta on Prime Location of Panaji. Panaji weather and atmosphere was good in mid of March. No words to say about cleanliness from main gate to room, as it is Taj. Room was quiet after being in city center Upon reaching the porch, the Energy Security Team extended a warm welcome. Shivanand and his team were consistently found to be fully vigilant—welcoming the guests while never overlooking security checks. Suparna suggested I visit the Kadamba Shiva Temple—an experience that turned out to be truly magnificent. She also advised me to keep some cash on hand, as we wouldn't be able to make online payments due to issues with internet connectivity. One evening, we returned a bit late (it was nearly midnight), and the restaurant was just about to close; however, Alison, working alongside Chef Gunaji, managed to serve us a delicious meal (chapatis, dal, etc.) in a remarkably short time. The F&B team members—Shawn, Priyanka, Rohit, and Akshata—took excellent care of us during our breakfast. The room was extremely comfortable, and the Housekeeping and Engineering team members would arrive with a smile to assist us within just three to four minutes (my daughter was keeping them quite busy!). We received service that exceeded our expectations from the Front Office team and the management; they facilitated an early check-in and a late check-out for us, and even arranged for our drop-off to the airport. The Security Manager arranged for a 'changing room' facility for us at both Taj Fort Aguada and the Holiday Village. Pawan Sharma and Tushar ensured that we enjoyed the same magnificent, signature 'Taj' experience at Fort Aguada as well. Upon meeting the General Manager, Mr. Souvik, at the time of check-out, we realized that the standard of hospitality here is consistently excellent—from the very top down to every level of the organization. A heartfelt thank you to the entire team at Taj Vivanta for making my entire week so memorable and delightful.

“Great Stay Marred by Poor Service at the Live Kitchen”

I recently stayed at this property and had a mostly very good experience, but I was deeply disappointed by the service during breakfast on March 13th.

I recently stayed at this property and had a mostly very good experience, but I was deeply disappointed by the service during breakfast on March 13th. The Issue: Between 9:30 AM and 10:00 AM, I attempted to place an order at the live kitchen twice. Both times, the employee handling the station completely ignored my request. After waiting without being attended to, I eventually had to leave the restaurant without eating breakfast. The experience was so off-putting that I chose to skip the live kitchen entirely the following day. Lack of Follow-up: What was more disappointing was the management’s response—or lack thereof. I reported this incident to the reception desk, but I never received a follow-up or any acknowledgement from the officials in charge. The Verdict: While the hotel itself is lovely and the rest of the stay was pleasant, the lack of basic hospitality at the breakfast station and the failure of the front office to address a guest's concern left a sour taste. I hope management takes this feedback seriously to ensure other guests don't have the same experience.
