Try emailing them? I normally get a better rate by sending them a email or try online agents as they seem to get different availability. Its a smallish hotel so most of their rooms sell out quickly but online agents still seem to have them available.
Have you stayed at the Taj at the airport as well? Any experiences of that? (I have a three night stay booked there on my return.)

Any other hotel recommendation near CMB?

Also any tips for car & driver / guide recommendations? It will be our first time in CMB proper. (All previous trips have been airport transits!)
