We recently stayed at The Oberoi Agra, and it was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. Very likely this was the best hotel & resort experience we’ve ever had traveling for ~50 years around 6 continents! Many things stood out. Our view of the Taj Mahal from our room was breathtaking! Each time we looked out our patio door or windows we had to stop and gaze at the magnificent view, And the resort’s grounds are almost equally stunning and gorgeous. Our room & large balcony overlooked the beautiful pool and finely manicured grounds and the 600 ft expanse to the Taj. And the entire layout of the grounds and resort are beautiful and stunning. Our room was spotless, spacious, and very well-appointed with excellent amenities. The hotel has a quiet atmosphere with a modern yet classic & luxurious feel throughout. And the staff’s professionalism and care went to a level never experienced before. Over the last day or so of our stay we were gifted a small, beautiful marble elephant and a marble keepsake box, both great touches and examples of Oberoi Agra going above and beyond. It was amazing to stay at Oberoi. In fact, my wife asked if there were any other Oberoi in the cities we would be visiting and there was in downtown Mumbai. And while the experience and view are understandably different between this Agra resort and Mumbai, we were equally pampered and had above and beyond service and dining that continued what we had experienced at Oberoi Agra. So, we have a newfound hotel group to look for when we are traveling!

We very much enjoyed our stay at Oberoi Amarvillas, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable, the view of the Taj Mahal is amazing and the rooms are slightly old-fashioned, but clean and cozy. Special mentions: Our tourguide to Taj Mahal Kishore did an amazing job, grat fluency in english, very ineresting inputs and a great photagrapher as well, we overly enjoyed it. Our driver Ankul who drove us to and around Agra went above and beyond to accomodate our wishes and we felt safe at all times. Our second driver Harbhajan who took us back to Deli and the 4h drive felt like it was nothing as we gained so many intersting insights into the culture and learned so much. All while feeling safe and well accomodated at all times.

Outstanding hotel within views of the Taj Mahal, which is within easy walking distance. The golf cart shuttle was an added bonus. Hotel Staff and management were superb, and the restaurants also excellent. My excellent Taj Mahal guide, Sandeep, provided incredible insight during my sunrise visit to the Taj Mahal - very much appreciated also. Very highly recommended.

Outstanding resort with an unbeatable position and the warmest of Indian hospitality
