"I recently had the pleasure of staying at Taj Cidade de Goa Horizon during my visit to Goa, and I must say the experience truly lived up to the esteemed reputation of the Taj brand in India. From the moment we were considering accommodation options, choosing Taj felt like a natural decision given its strong legacy—and our experience fully validated that choice. The level of hospitality, attention to detail, and overall service quality exceeded our expectations. Every department demonstrated exceptional professionalism, including reception, room service, housekeeping, and especially the food and beverage team. I would like to extend special appreciation to Duty Manager, Food Department and Housekeeping for their outstanding service and dedication. What stood out most was the genuine willingness of every team member to assist. We were a group of 21 people, and each one of us was thoroughly impressed by the warmth and efficiency of the staff. A special mention goes to Food Department, who went above and beyond—not only accommodating specific dietary requirements for some members of our group but also personally ensuring that special requests beyond the buffet menu were fulfilled seamlessly. Overall, it was a memorable and delightful stay. I would highly recommend Taj Cidade de Goa Horizon to anyone seeking exceptional hospitality and a truly premium experience."

"Rooms are well proportioned and amenities properly thought through . "

"All of the staff were helpful and welcoming. The cleaning staff on the 4th was very as efficient and kept the room tidy. The wait staff in the restaurant were helpful and even ensured that my order was cooked with no spices due to digestive problems. The hotel was in a safe location and the river view from my room was excellent. Now for the cons: the pool was inviting and I know it was windy which is why there were leaves and other debris floating in the water, the hotel could use some updating and sprucing up, and the casino forced us to play the tables before you could play the slots which was really weird. I handed my chips to my husband and walked out- we had heard of none of the tables in the casino; therefore didn’t know how to play which meant it was a waste of my time and money; the only table we had heard of was Black Jack and it was full.

"The spa was fantastic as was the gym. Breakfast came with lots of choice in a wonderful setting. I enjoyed going to nearby Fisherman’s Wharf for dinner. The staff was what made this place particularly fantastic. I highly recommend this place !"

"The hotel either has the wrong address or it doesn’t exist!If you look at the website pictures for the outside of the hotel and compare it to google maps you not find any resemblance! I tired to phone the hotel no answer, also no response with emails. I contacted Expedia, and they tried to contact the hotel. Expedia response was they are unreachable! I wondered around for literally hours trying to find it, I’ve never felt so uncomfortable and intimidated walking around and getting stared at. I had to book another hotel, which cost me twice as much and no refund was offered. "
