We had a great stay at this 5 star hotel and I can confidently give it a 5 star review.
The lobby is attractive and impressive, the staff is plentiful, kind, and helpful across the property, the hotel decor is lovely and locally-inspired, the pool and area around it are really nice (and I appreciate the board listing pool temperature, pH, chlorine level), and the room was quite comfortable.
The breakfast buffet was superb and staff member Santosh stands out. He was kind enough to satisfy my request of a masala chai with soymilk, the first person to do so during my month in south India. I very much appreciate him and the Taj Coromandel.
The welcome and departure gifts are a nice touch.
