Taj Club House
I loved our stay in a suite at the Taj Club House. It was the perfect accommodation for my two adult daughters and me. The staff is so very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is a feast! We also lived the filtered coffee/chai cart in the lobby. The pool and wellness center are wonderful too!
