Lovely location; me and my daughter loved it . The walks alongside with the peacocks were a one of a kind experience. Given the landscape and location of the rooms it is not suitable for old people or people with leg/walking problems as it involves some level of walking around on uneven terrains even to reach the go cart. Given the location and peacocks I personally believe it is a very expensive stay.

Very disappointed for a Taj Group property! My group check in was the worst, very slow and disorganised. Actually embarrassing in front of my group. No welcome drinks, I had to ask. I emailed all passports and room requirements in advance, but still the twin rooms were not prepared, no one seemed to know who was in charge. We kept getting different information from different staff members. Had to ask for the tennis court to be cleared of debris! Very poor or no tennis equipment, some rackets and tennis balls are not much to ask for in a five star property. Will not stay again

Amazing place!

It was an amazing experience all made possible by the kind Accommodations Manager Mr. Ashok N, the GM Mr. Vishal Srivastava and the Executive Chef Mr.Tapan Sahoo. They were very courteous and warm. The room was spacious and well lit. The ambience and surroundings were peaceful and lush green. The guided Nature Walk led by Mr. Muniswamy was educative and interesting. The food was very good. Overall, a truly five star experience in the bustling Madurai City!

The property is amazing but they are ruining the “TAJ”name . The first room they gave us had horrible sewer back up smell and musty odor that made me gag and cough all night and next day we requested a change of room and they did change it which is good but it should not come to that . There was “hair “ in the food. The server had such horrible body odors and sweat smell which was over powering the smell of the food they were serving

The over all property was very good. Big sized room. Lovely location, beautiful surroundings. Lots and lots of peacocks offering a wonderful sight as well as lots of photo taking opportunities. However, the bathroom and its fittings were outdated and badly need renovation.
