Taj Exotica Maldives has a stunning location, peaceful atmosphere, and attentive staff who make the stay easy and comfortable. The villas are well maintained and the surroundings are beautiful. However, the food was underwhelming and didn’t quite match the luxury positioning of the resort. Combined with the generally high prices, it feels somewhat overpriced for what you get. Overall, a nice and relaxing stay, but not the best value compared to other Maldives resorts.

Such a beautiful island and in keeping with traditional Maldivian style as opposed to the built up louder resorts that are now poppint up in the Maldives. The food was great we did not have one bad meal. The staff are what make this place though they all try their absolute best to assist you with whatever your needs.
