MUNIMJI
ngày 23 tháng 12 năm 2024
A short trip from Munnar brought us to Kumarakom. Having stayed in a few properties in the past, the expectations were set high! The stay was good, some great spots of enjoyment, some definitive spots for betterment and some sore episodes (nothing to do with Taj ethos). I felt the reception is small and non-noticeable and so was the usual warmth on arrival. That was soon forgotten when Gayatri brought on Priya to the fore. She did explain the shortcomings that come alongwith a govt owned property being leased by Taj. The restaurant was great and the high tea is quite refreshing. Our group of six adults, have great tastebuds sans anything that borders above LESS SPICEY… Great challenge for the team, till Subin Meccheri, hand crafted the best items of our stay - Ulli theeyal and Cabbage Thoran.. Out of the world and dot on “ Low spice”. Heaven on earth! Vin Pugal, a known face of our 2022-stay at Kovalam made our last day stay comfortable and allowed us to overstay for a couple more hours . Exit of one of our team leaving early on the last day to catch his flight to San Francisco had to literally witness and be a mute spectator to the Union-activism that compelled him to use the local cab to Airport, priced 50% more than the app-operators… a lesson learnt, though not a reflection of the nice stay in Taj. Having stayed in Taj resorts at Kovalam, Madikeri, Goa, Maldives, I feel Taj Kumarakom has many spots to betterment, especially house keeping, room service and the general upkeep.
