exceptional in every way

Congrats to the Taj Bengal for creating an oasis in the amiable chaos of India. Throughout my stay, staff in every service area demonstrated a sincere wish to do whatever was in their power to make my stay pleasant and hassle free. The room was spotlessly clean. The spa was terrific. But the most outstanding aspects were the food and service in both the Indian and Lebanese restaurants: the chefs are to be congratulated for providing taste sensations beyond anything I've experienced anywhere else in 35+ countries.
