Terrible experience at Fort Aguada, the hotel is dated, dirty rooms which we took pictures of but we're ignored. Had to wait for an hour to check in, then we're given a room that we did not book which was dirty with used cigarettes on the balcony, and not cleaned. then we were moved to another room we did not book. eventually 2 days (half way into our stay) they moved us to the room we booked, then the room wifi was not working. Not worth the cost, not even close to a 5* experience.

Didn't expect this at a Taj property

Mustiness in the room is unacceptable at a Taj property especially when it's not even the high humidity season. This instantly impacted my wife who had to go on medication Masking it with chemical fresheners is worse. Reaction times and understanding at the front desk of client requirement is dismal. Took me two hours to arrange a car pick up to the hotel They recognised the issue sent me a goodwill gift of such poor quality that even the from office clerk was embarrassed to see. Too much demand means that resources cannot keep up and quality suffers but list importantly they just move to the vlnext guest without any time capacity or desire to repair any issues that they themselves acknowledge Not that they didn't try but loose assurances don't go too far.

I stayed at this property because of its 5 star rating and chose the room based on a “10” review on Expedia. The room was old, tired and looked like it hadn’t been maintained. The ocean view was obstructed by dirty windows with dirty curtains. The room did not look anything like the pictures. The lower common areas were not maintained. This property needs a lot of work to be a 5 star hotel. I would never recommend this place to anyone. The breakfast buffet was overcrowded and noisy. This was NOT a 5 star hotel experience and we felt ripped off

Great resort with excellent customer service. Food is good and caters to the clientele. There is no Goan food for those of us who cam Outside the resort is terrible with lack of approach road and order. Too many people walking on the road in absolute unsafe conditions. Lack of taxi cabs make travel very very expensive.

We were a family of 4 with 2 boys aged 9 and 11. The restaurant staff went out of their way to cater to the foods the boys liked(both have very different tastes). We lost some swimming trunks at the pool. The pool manager found them and they were returned to us the next day. The room had a wonderful view to the ocean and a balcony where we could relax while watching the waves. Ultimately it was the staff that made this place so lovely.
