Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The food menu was quite overpriced. For instance, charging ₹350 for a single parotta is not reasonable, especially when the portion is only slightly bigger than a coin-sized parotta and is not an authentic Kerala-style parotta. Given the portion size and quality, the pricing does not feel justified.
food menu with over priced not value for money
We got upgraded to a Villa. Also, it was a special occasion for me and my wife, which the property took a notice of and they made some surpirse arrangements. The chef in particular was awesome. We had some feedback about the dinner and the very next day, the chef personally took note of it and prepared the meals for us that was amazing and as per our taste
Nothing that comes to my mind.
Location, vast expanse of greenery, a great service oriented team, the quality of food and approach of the management to the tourists

Cleanliness not upto mark
Fabulous service by Shibani & Amir. Thank you so much for your hospitality.
Overall, we had a wonderful stay at Taj Bekal. The Premium Villa with Courtyard and Plunge Pool was exceptional and easily one of the highlights of the trip. Service overall was not quite as polished as we have come to expect from Taj, although a few team members were outstanding. A special mention to Mr. Jason Pinto, whose timely intervention and genuine willingness to help made a real difference—we are extremely grateful. The high tea was somewhat underwhelming, and during the monsoon the humidity can become quite intense, particularly since many of the outdoor/common areas are not air-conditioned. That said, the beautiful property, superb villa and overall experience made for a very enjoyable and memorable trip.
Great experience. It was a family trip. Private beach is there highlight. Great food. Kids had fun plus monsoon add on the vibe. Trained helpful staffs ❤️
Beautiful place and lovely ambience
Shiban very good service to us
Wonderful resort, landscape, architecture, people service top-notch
Excellent location and wonderful activities and staff. Particular thanks to Nagaraju Attivaram for organising a special celebration for our son. We enjoyed the live music at the restaurant.
Sneha Bastola and Shivani had put forward great efforts and our dining was excellent hats off to shivani and Sneha B
Dinner was too good excellent Ambience.. Sivanni and Salini B excellent staff who served and guided us the food .. Quality was superb.. Thank you Sivani.. Great Hospitality.. Taj Resort is blessed to have a employee like you ..
Taj Bekal Resort & Spa, Kerala ★ 4.6 • Hotel 1 I had an amazing stay at Taj Bekal Resort & Spa, Kerala, where every detail reflected genuine hospitality. A special thanks to Chef Sahoo, who prepared delicious meals with exceptional care and made every dining experience memorable. Ishita was incredibly warm, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile, making us feel truly welcome. The beautiful surroundings, luxurious rooms, and outstanding service made our stay relaxing and unforgettable. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a perfect blend of comfort, luxury, and heartfelt hospitality.
The whole property was really amazing and full of wonderful staff who can cater to all our needs as best they can and I would like to give special mention to Mr. Nehal and Ms. Alisha for their exceptional service.
I am truly grateful w Shikha for being so polite and for her smile . Shikha servers us so gently humbly and with lots of love .
Staff was very cooperative special shoutout to ishika from restaurant...
My husband and I traveled all the way from Texas to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary at Taj Bekal, and our dining experience was truly fabulous! A huge thank you to Ishika and Sawagta at the restaurant—they were absolutely amazing and super helpful. They always greeted us with bright smiles and were always eager to assist. They made our special milestone even more memorable! Thank you ladies!
Reception staff Aarsha she was very humble and very helpful nature. She supported to us during our retreat from 28 jul 2026 to 30 jul 2026
If you are looking to unwind from your daily grind, the property fits the bill nicely. Spread over 30+ acres, with a river flowing by on one side and beach on another, with greenery all around, the overall atmosphere is calm, serene and relaxing. We had a pool villa, which was specious and featured an outdoor shower too. We wanted to experience the monsoon and mother nature accommodated our wish with plenty of showers. The swimming pool was nice with clear and warm water. The food at the multi-cuisine restaurant as well as the beach side restaurant were nice, though the decor and ambience of By the Bays needs a re-look. The hospitality was top notch with the staff consistently warm and efficient. Fahima at the reception was warm and welcoming. Pooja from housekeeping ensured that all our needs were met promptly. Chef Prashant and Maniganda at By the Bay were competent and went out of their way to serve us delightful fare. Ganesh and Avinash, the servers at By the Bay were patient with us to find out are needs and suggest the perfect choices for us. I must make a special mention of Zoe and Rini, the therapists at the spa, who were simply outstanding in their craft. We went back refreshed and given an opportunity would like to come back to this resort, may be in winter.
Mindblowing scenery. Room is excellent with an amazing river view! Private beach is marvellous. Delicious food & excellent service. Adwaith and Shabbir took excellent care of the dinner at By the Bay restaurant!
Best piece of sunshine in Kerala - we didn't leave the resort for 4 days straight, but did all their tours include the houseboat. EVERYTHING was perfect.
My family and I have long been fans of Taj and try to visit at least one each time we are in India, but our stay at Taj Bekal was by far the best! From considerate buggy rides to their delicious idi chamandi, each moment of our stay was thoughtfully looked after. While we were surrounded by the beautiful backwater views and scenery, my family couldn’t stop thinking about how hospitable the staff were. Especially Sarath, one of the buggy drivers, and Ganesh, a restaurant staff, considerately took every step to ensure our stay was as enjoyable as possible. From Sarath’s enjoyable football conversations with our son and selfless acts of hospitality, to Ganesh’s fun drinks and thoughtful restaurant support, both of them only made our experience at Taj Bekal so much better. Swagata, Ashish, Attimaram, the cook who looked like the actor Dhanush, and so many other staff at Taj brought smiles to our faces, and the words “thank you” kept playing on our lips because of their hospitality. When our daughter fell sick one of the days during my stay, the staff catered to all our needs and sped me to a joyful recovery. The amazing views, food, activities, and every other aspect of our stay cannot be fully put into words, but I’ve tried the best I can to do so! Thank you, Taj Bekal, for the wonderful memories!
Shibani from restaurant was amazing Jose , ratneesh, Pramod and attivaram all were amazing great hospitality and awesome and quick Laundry service ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The rooms, the over all property, the staff, the food, the beach and backwater access - everything was simply fab. Ravi, swagata and all the staff were simply amazing. Perks, it's a pet friendly property as well.
Beautiful property indeed. Amazing time at the ivory bar. Ganesh made us great mocktails out of which the one with edilflower and grapes was my absolute favourite and a definite must try .
Amazing place. Great food and ambience. Ideal place for complete peace of mind. Totally appreciate the effort put in by the team to make our stay so comfortable. Would like to call out just a few from the incredible staff - Shibani, Avinash, Suagata, Alisha, Manisha, Ishika, Sahu (chef) Attivaram, Jason, Yashoda
Awesome property amazing service. Great location to relax and refresh. The staff are great especially - Shibani at the backwater cafe - Yashoda at the front office Shibani ensured that we are taken care of in every meal we had at the cafe with her personal touch and service Yashoda is always at her best with her ever smiling and helpful nature to take care of every needs of guests
Our experience at taj bekal was extra ordinary. From our arrival till our checkout everything was seemless great hospitality experience. Chef Sahoo's culinary skills and jolly nature was simply marvelous. Restaurent staff was simply amazing specially Shibani who was extremly sweet and hardworking she ensured we get the best service experience at restaurant at back water cafe. Cocktails and mocktails by bartender Ganesha was fabulous.
Good food and ambiance. Hospitality of Shibani and Ajay was commendable.
Some stays are just comfortable. This one felt like being looked after by family. We spent 4 days and 3 nights at Taj Bekal Resort and Spa in the first week of July, and honestly, every single person we encountered made us feel like the most important guests in the resort. It started right at the airport, where Mr. Prajit welcomed us so warmly it instantly set the tone for the trip ( and maintained the same warmth during our day outings and the airport drop too) Check-in was effortless, and the team thoughtfully placed us in room #453 — a choice so perfect for our very young family that it felt like they'd read our minds. The itinerary suggestions were phenomenal — the team gave us ample options to choose from at our own pace, offering thoughtful recommendations without ever being pushy or forcing anything on us. It made planning our days there feel relaxed rather than scripted. Apart from the obvious Spa - the other facilities truly rounded out the experience. The activity room kept us engaged, and archery turned out to be a delightful surprise for the whole family. The indoor creche was such a cozy, thoughtful space for our little one, and the sit-outs scattered around the property were perfect for quiet, unwinding moments. We also enjoyed a few games at the badminton court, and the evening tea, coffee, and snacks were a lovely little ritual we looked forward to each day. The beach access was a true highlight — almost private and exclusive, it felt like our own secluded stretch of shore. And getting around was never a hassle, thanks to the golf buggies and e-ricks that were always available whenever we needed them. The housekeeping staff were nothing short of wonderful — quietly attentive, incredibly meticulous, and always so kind whenever our paths crossed. Room service and in-room dining genuinely amazed us — every single order arrived promptly and piping hot, no matter the hour, even as we juggled a baby's unpredictable schedule. That kind of consistency, with a smile every time, does not go unnoticed. And then there was Sous Chef Mr. Sahoo and the whole team at Backwater Cafe — they treated our little one's meals as if she were their own family. Time and again, they went out of their way to personalize dishes for him and for us, with a warmth that turned mealtimes into one of the highlights of our trip. Asha and the entire front office and accounts team made check-out just as seamless and pleasant as check-in, handling everything with grace and genuine care. I could write pages... Every single interaction, every small gesture, carried that unmistakable "Tajness" — a rare blend of luxury and heart. To the entire team at Taj Bekal: thank you for making our family's trip so special. We left with full hearts and are already looking forward to coming back sometime soon.
Taj Bekal is a beautiful, serene property! We had a great time. Shibani, Ishika, Sowgata, Priyanshu and Chef Sahu have taken excellent care of us! A wonderful team ! Avinash and Ganesh took great care and the food at Back of the bay was amazing!
Checked in for a relaxing stay over the weekend. Absolutely gorgeous and tropical feels that the property offers. We were warmly welcomed by Pramod. He ensured we are comfortable and accommodated every request of ours. He took the property tour and ensured we don’t miss on anything. DM Prabhakaran was very supportive and accommodating. The housekeeping team and FOM Jason did a lovely decor in our room to welcome us. Thank you so much and it meant a lot. The entire FnB team was amazing and was around during our meals. Ishika welcomed us to the restaurant with a smile always. It was lovely meeting Mr Vasudevan- the General Manager. Truly the hospitality was beyond expectation and we loved every bit of our time in the God’s Own Country
All about the place spells elegance!An architecture that reminds you if Indonesia !!! And the backwater cafe serves excellent breakfast, such a splendid spread!!! Special mention to miss Ishika who always attended to us and all the other guests there with such a warm friendly demenour ❤️
Ishika was very cooperative and polite
I recently stayed at the resort and had a truly memorable experience. The property is beautiful, and the location is perfect for a relaxing getaway. And staff Ganesh and akash at BY THE BAY restaurant were very helpful..loved the food..food was beyond the words..excellent staff service..
We had a wonderful stay! Mr Jason Pinto made sure our experience was memorable! Special mention to the entire staff of the backwater cafe Shibani, Sneha, Ishika, Ayesha and others who served us with a smile on a daily basis! It’s an excellent kid friendly option!
Food, ambience and service were absolutely amazing!
Excellent service by Shibani & Atabi. We had a wonderful experience while dining at Taj bekal thanks to them.
The resort location right by the sea is the USP. This was our third visit to this resort. Right from the first visit the staff was very welcoming and made us feel at home, which became the reason of our frequent visits. Right from the pickup to airport drop was organized and updates given regularly. We would like to thank Muhammed Kunhi, who came for our pickup, for his safe driving and friendly nature. We were upgraded to a Premium Villa with a plunge pool and garden view giving us the privacy and quiet atmosphere. The room was very spacious, comfortable and well decorated for our welcome, which gave us a very special feeling. As it was very humid for the first few days, having your own pool was very nice as you could go for a dip anytime you wanted. We would like to thank Mr. Siminione, Ramitraj & Bilal for keeping the room spotlessly clean & Mr. Attivaran for reserving the room for us we stayed in. At the time of check in we were welcomed by Mr. Ashok Vasudevan, GM. The check in was very smooth and handled were efficiently by Mr. Jason & Ms. Srilakshmi. We would like to thank a few people for making our stay memorable. Mr. Avdhesh Jha, Mr. Marian, Ms. Swagata, Ms. Alisha, Ms. Ishika, Ms. Sneha, Ms. Sneha Bastola & Ms. Shibani from the Back Water Cafe, Mr. Shabbir from Ivory Bar, Mr. Ganesh from By the Bay, Chef Don, Chef Harit, Executive Chef Mr. Anbalagan & Chef Fenny.
Taj Bekal blends a private, uncrowded beach with tranquil backwaters for an authentic Kerala stay. The beach is pristine and offer excellent views. Rooms are spacious, airy, and tastefully furnished, many with private plunge pools perfect for quiet morning dips. The play area is safe and well-maintained, good for younger children. Service is warm and efficient—staff handle requests promptly and thoughtfully. The restaurant serves fresh, well-prepared Kerala specialties alongside international dishes; breakfast is generous with live cooking stations. Minor dampness on some walkways after rain, but overall a relaxing, family-friendly resort highly recommended for a restful escape.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this resort! From the moment we arrived until the time we checked out, everything exceeded our expectations. The property is beautifully maintained, the rooms are spotless and comfortable, and the atmosphere is peaceful and perfect for a relaxing getaway. The hospitality truly made our experience special. A heartfelt thank you to Sree Lakshmi and the entire staff for their outstanding service. Sree Lakshmi was exceptionally warm, courteous, and always ready to help with a smile, making us feel genuinely welcomed and valued. The rest of the team was equally professional, attentive, and dedicated to ensuring our stay was memorable. The food was delicious, the amenities were excellent, and every detail reflected the team’s commitment to guest satisfaction. We left with wonderful memories and can’t wait to return. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a perfect blend of comfort, hospitality, and relaxation. Thank you, Sree Lakshmi and the entire team, for making our stay unforgettable!
Very good property. Worked from here for a week and felt very comfortable. Beach is also nearby. Ishika, Sneha, Shivangi are so helpful and made us feel at home. Food was amazing. Thank you Taj Bekal for making our stay memorable.
We had an amazing stay at the hotel, and what truly made it unforgettable was the outstanding hospitality of the staff. We celebrated our son's 4th birthday during our stay, and the team went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. From the thoughtful arrangements to the warm, attentive service, they made the celebration incredibly special for our family. A special thanks to the Backwater Restaurant staff, who took exceptional care of us throughout our stay. Their kindness, attention to detail, and genuine enthusiasm made every meal enjoyable and made us feel truly welcomed. Thank you to the entire team for making our son's birthday such a memorable occasion. We will cherish these memories and look forward to visiting again!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Taj Bekal this weekend with my parents and Shikha. From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. The food was consistently excellent, and despite it being the monsoon, the weather only added to the charm of the property. The beach, serene pool, and wide range of activities—including pickleball, kayaking, and the zip line—meant there was never a dull moment. While the sea is too rough for swimming during the monsoon, it's spectacular to watch. The dramatic waves at sunset create an unforgettable setting, and the hotel thoughtfully provides comfortable beach mats, making it the perfect place to sit back, relax, and soak it all in. The spa deserves a special mention as well. I had one of the best massages I've experienced at any luxury property anywhere. It was the perfect way to unwind and a highlight of the trip. What truly sets Taj apart, though, is its legendary hospitality. Every interaction reflected genuine warmth, care, and attention to detail, making us feel incredibly well looked after throughout our stay. A heartfelt thank you to Edwin, Manikanta, Akash, Sneha, and Priyanshu for making our evening at By the Bay so special. Their attentive service, combined with the delicious food and live music, created one of the standout memories of our stay. Thank you to the entire Taj Bekal team for an unforgettable experience. We can't wait to be back!
Food was awesome at backwater cafe and stay was excellent all the team members were awesome and always greeted us with smile. Special mention for Shibani and chef Harit for ensuring we are served awesome food during our stay. Special shout out to housekeeping team for keeping our room spic and span.
Excellent stay..whole new vibe.. just wow...Will visit again.
We had a great stay and wanted to thank the team for making it such a pleasant experience. The housekeeping team did an excellent job keeping everything clean and well maintained, and the front office staff were always friendly and helpful. And special thanks to Priyanshu,Attabi and Ishika for their outstanding service. They were always approachable, attentive, and ready to help whenever we required. Their warm hospitality and positive attitude made a real difference for us and added to the overall experience. Thank you to the entire team for the wonderful service. I would be happy to stay here again and recommend it to others.
Lovely experience especially with food and restaurant. Shibani and team were amazing. Especially for my 15 month daughter
One of a kind resorts. Really great location and hospitality. Thank you everyone at Taj Bekal. Special shoutout to shika and Priyanshu who are tremendous hosts!
5 stars would be less for the property. Here everything was just beyond expectation - the rooms, the food, the staff, the cheerfulness esp the staff inspite of the weather (it was super hot). We were upgraded to a room with a pool - it was spacious, comfy and simple but with all necessary amenities. We loved the swing. The restaurants - very good service and good. We had written to them about certain specific food requirements and all were adhered to beyond expectations. Spa - amazing must try The staff : typical Taj they lead from the front you can see everyone (be it GM/ Accommodation / Hospitality Manager) around the property doing whatever is necessary. No one shrugs responsibility. All is done with a smile. A big big thank you to Mr Atti for ensuring we had such an amazingly amazing stay. We first met him at another Taj property in Kerala and to see him here after was added bonus. The warmth and caring for every guest and every little detail as good as can be. Yashoda is amazing with children - thank you so much for taking such good care. Thank you Mr Atti, Vignesh, Yukta, Yashoda, Sneha for making our stay extra special. Over all worth every rupee we paid.
Very beautiful resort and all the staff were very friendly and helpful, especially Ishika working at the restaurant kindly helped up every morning.
It was lovely. Service is incredible.

I had a great time at by the bay, the food was amazing, so was the atmosphere. Our servers, Akash and the bartender Ganesh treated us with great hospitality and the drinks were amazing!
A special mention to Taj Bekal as well—an outstanding property with beautiful surroundings, excellent food, impeccable service, and a truly relaxing atmosphere.A heartfelt thank you to Shabani, Restaurant Executive at Taj Bekal, for her exceptional hospitality and warm service throughout our stay.
Just returned from a magical 3-day stay at Taj Bekal with four family friends, and we couldn't be more grateful for the experience. From the moment we arrived, the warmth and hospitality were exceptional. The room upgrades were a wonderful surprise — the courtyard and plunge pool rooms were absolutely stunning. Set across 30 acres of lush green plantation, the property is a masterpiece of natural beauty. The combination of the sea beach and backwaters was truly soothing, and the weather — a cool, breezy mix of rain and clouds, well under 30°C — made it all the more perfect. The activities were brilliant fun — kayaking was a highlight that had our whole group buzzing with excitement. A special mention must go to the incredible team at Bekal restaurant. Shibani went above and beyond in arranging our Keralite lunch and was attentive throughout every meal — her warmth and care truly stood out. Aamir was an absolute gem — always smiling, always saying yes, and always delivering. He made every request feel effortless. Chef Harit's Chole Bhature deserves its own applause — simply outstanding. Taj Bekal, you've set the bar high. We'll definitely be back soon. Thank you for making our trip so memorable.
Great Experience,the service of Shibana was really good .
Our time at Taj Bekal was truly wonderful, from the moment we arrived until we left. Mr. Attivaram handled the check-in so effortlessly, and he even planned a lovely surprise for our special day. Ms. Yashoda was incredibly attentive to all our needs, showing us such warmth. The villas with the pool are gorgeous. I had some special dietary needs, and Chef Anbalagan, along with his team of Chef Sahoo and Chef Harif, went above and beyond to prepare some truly extraordinary meals. The staff at the restaurant, including Ms. Shibani, Aakash, Ganesh, and the entire team, were incredibly prompt with their service. The housekeeping was top-notch. Finally, the spa experience was truly unmatched. Rini, my spa therapist, was outstanding—one of the best massages I’ve ever had. Yoga class was so relaxing. Overall, I would highly recommend Taj Bekal to anyone seeking the perfect Taj hospitality and warmth.
It was just excellent Learned great techniques of yoga Time was short but the enthusiasm of sir teaching was just extra ordinary
Property is good . Good was excellent. Chef mr. Sahu was warm and polite and took personal care of us. We had a great time.
Our group of five had a very enjoyable lunch at this backwater cafe. As we went during lunch, there was no buffet. There was a decent selection of items on the menu. We enjoyed all the items we ordered. Our waitress Shibani was courteous and attentive.
It was a lovely stay at Taj Bekal. The host Mr. Amir and Yashoda took really good care of us. Thank you team Taj.
"Had a wonderful dining experience. The food, ambiance, and service were excellent. Special thanks to Shibani for her exceptional hospitality and for making our visit truly memorable."
Caught a beautiful sunset at Kappil beach connected to the Taj property and ate dinner at the Bayswater Cafe. Shibani took great care at serving a table.
Our 3N stay was amazing. We booked the premium villa and it was fantastic. The property is mesmerising. Although it was quite humid. But the private beach access was an icing. The best part of the stay was the hospitality and genuine kindness of some of the hotel staff - Saniya, Alisha and Chef Harit from F&B. These 3 were the BEST! Priyanshu and Yashoda from F&B and Front office. Jason - Front office manager, was also very helpful. However, we did face some hiccups with housekeeping and the front office team in terms of effective communication.
Shibani was of great help at the Taj Bekal restaurant. Amazing service very quick. Food was good and deserts were amazing too. Must visit
Excellent service Shibani The food was also really good
Shibani is a wonderful person, keep up the good work. Great person. God Bless.
The food and ambience was fantastic. Highly recommend the Kallappam and the Karimeen Pollichathu. We had gone for our Anniversary. Avinash and Sneha were very kind and generous and surprised us with a Cake. Darryl elevated the entire experience with his fantastic voice, encouraging us to sing and dedicating songs for us. Had an amazing evening!
Had sandwich and tea at Taj Bekal resorts. Food was yummy and very delicious. Shivani is very enterprising and very good at service. Thank you Shivani and Taj
Stayed at Taj Bekal for 4 days. The property and ambience were beautiful, but the spa experience was disappointing. The massage pressure points were not handled properly and the treatment felt uncomfortable instead of relaxing. Considering the very high pricing, it was not worth the money. Expected much better standards from a luxury Taj property
Wonderful experience right from checkin to checkout .What stands out is the warmth,courteous & young staff who are more than willing to greet and serve the guests at all the avenues ,resturants .Icing on the cake was that the front office manager Mr Jason & GM of the hotel Mr Vasudevan were always available and enquired about your well being and comfort which was surreal.Taj bekal is one place one should visit due to its location,serene and picturesque beauty and the hospitality of Taj which is world class.
Come and quit

A very good property to explore❤️ All staff are very nice and humble Ms. Shibani Sneha and Sanya very helpful. Just loved our experience in this property
Amazing. Shibani did a great job! Food was good Service was timely and neat.
Had a really good experience at Taj Bekal. The food was delicious, and special thanks to Shibani for being so helpful throughout our stay. She provided excellent service in the food section and made our experience even more pleasant. Truly appreciated the hospitality!
Property was good
Has it’s a premium Resort, premium charging is not justifiable, as even cycling in the property was chargeable. When someone pay so much, and when resort charge so much, it feels cheap to resort policy to make money on certain actives in property. Didn’t expect from TAJ groups to make money on cycling.
It exceeded our expectation and made our stay extremely comfortable and memorable.
N/A
Amazing experience! One that lasts for a lifetime for sure ! You don’t get a lake and a beach in a single property with such great ambience and food ! Sneha was really helping and friendly throughout in taking care of our needs. Thanks to Dibankar for being so kind and accommodating the booking with the By the Bay restaurant though it was fully booked. One word - OUTSTANDING!!
Very special overclass Resort. Everything was min 5 Stars. The Restaurant service was great special thanks to Shabina.
Excellent stay at Taj Bekal. Lovely property. Great service. Helpful and Friendly team of staff . Ensured every part of the stay was well taken care. Tastefully prepared cuisine for every meal we had . Must visit for enriched and relaxed experience.
Great place for relaxing holiday…. Excellent location, option for activities, variety of food & warm people …. That makes memories !!
