Hospitality was good. Weather was horrible. Couldn’t have chosen a bad time to visit Bekal.
Food was amazing though. Activities within the Resort were limited but had a pleasant stay.

Amazing stay in paradise
Out of the four Taj hotels that we stayed in, Bekal offers the best value for money with amazing villas. I was concerned that the backwaters may have meant lots of insects but this wasn’t the case. The gardens with an amazing variety of birds, the sea food restaurant by the beach, the pool, everything is beautiful

Stunning location and beautiful resort
An absolutely stunning resort positioned on a beach and also along the backwaters.
The pool was amazing, the restaurants were good and the villa with private pool was absolutely fantastic. The room also had an outdoor bath and shower which was very luxurious and relaxing. The rooms were very private and perfect for a relaxing break.
I would most definitely return back here when visiting Kerala again.

Excellent property and lived upto the Taj expectations. Their hospitality was top notch, service standards were very prompt and courteous with so many humble and down to earth employees. Backwaters was a big attraction with complimentary tea & snaks session from 4 30-5 30 pm - JIVA Spa was also very good though a little steep in price - I am particularly thankful to the Taj Bekal employee Aswanth and manager Suniel for calling me on time and making sure my work laptop reaches the Mangalore airport by 4.30 pm as I had forgotten my laptop in my room and the driver Sridharan made it on time before my 5.05 pm departure flight to Mumbai so big thank you for that. Overall an excellent vacation and enjoyed every bit of it.

Good stay at Taj Bekal.
It was a great location. Property felt a little dated. Rolls were clean and nice. Indian food was good but continental Breakfast was very poor. Overall a good experience but didn’t get the feeling of a five star resort.

Good Stay
The Check-in process was quite smooth. We were celebrating our anniversary and the staff was kind enough to decorate our room and offer us a cake. The property was very well maintained and was very beautiful. We had a villa with a private pool. The room was quite clean and the property had maintained a good hygiene level with regards to COVID-19. However, we feel the pool and the bathtub in our villa could have been cleaner. We had some issues with frogs in our pool, however, the staff was good enough to come and remove them. I would like to mention special thanks to Mr. Saurbh and his colleague from the restaurant for being very helpful and prompt in their service. The property has good access to the beach and also the backwater. The only downside was due to COVID the Menu was very limited. We were staying for 3 nights and after a point, we really were craving for variety in their Menu to eat something different. Overall the stay was very nice.
