Apart from other things , its location - by the sea , on the ramparts of the fort Aguada. Our room has a great view of the sea and the pier . The approach from the main road is a two lane road - fair amount of traffic. And it is there for last 8/10 kms. So if you are driving, could be little frustrating after a drive of about 400 kms .

Outstanding hotel.

This is a truly amazing hotel. I have stayed a number of times and the service is outstanding. This was my honeymoon hotel back in 1990 and I continue to return. I a. A widower now but will always come back for as long as I can. You expect the best from Taj properties and that is what you get.

Terrible experience at Fort Aguada, the hotel is dated, dirty rooms which we took pictures of but we're ignored. Had to wait for an hour to check in, then we're given a room that we did not book which was dirty with used cigarettes on the balcony, and not cleaned. then we were moved to another room we did not book. eventually 2 days (half way into our stay) they moved us to the room we booked, then the room wifi was not working. Not worth the cost, not even close to a 5* experience.

Didn't expect this at a Taj property

Mustiness in the room is unacceptable at a Taj property especially when it's not even the high humidity season. This instantly impacted my wife who had to go on medication Masking it with chemical fresheners is worse. Reaction times and understanding at the front desk of client requirement is dismal. Took me two hours to arrange a car pick up to the hotel They recognised the issue sent me a goodwill gift of such poor quality that even the from office clerk was embarrassed to see. Too much demand means that resources cannot keep up and quality suffers but list importantly they just move to the vlnext guest without any time capacity or desire to repair any issues that they themselves acknowledge Not that they didn't try but loose assurances don't go too far.

I stayed at this property because of its 5 star rating and chose the room based on a “10” review on Expedia. The room was old, tired and looked like it hadn’t been maintained. The ocean view was obstructed by dirty windows with dirty curtains. The room did not look anything like the pictures. The lower common areas were not maintained. This property needs a lot of work to be a 5 star hotel. I would never recommend this place to anyone. The breakfast buffet was overcrowded and noisy. This was NOT a 5 star hotel experience and we felt ripped off
