We had a perfect vacation at El Taj Oceanfront! Everything at this property is a five star experience-from beautiful design of the rooms and a complex itself to a great service and fantastic personnel. The atmosphere is serene, with luxurious surroundings and all of this right on the water, next to the best beaches and 5 minute walk to best... More

My family recently stayed at El Taj for seven days. It was simply the most elegant hotel or condo we have ever been at. We had a two bedroom, two bathroom unit. They were beautifully appointed with amazingly comfortable beds, terrific closet and storage space, vessel sinks, and marble tile. The living room area was a huge comfortable space that... More

The condo is absolutely beautiful inside and out. It's a retreat from the busy Playa del Carmen streets, but so close by to all the action when you're ready for some shopping or an after dinner walk. The breakfast at the hotel was terrific. The watiers and staff are fabulous. The beds on the beach are fantastic and the workers... More

Carebian ocean colors, inviting swimming pool, breakfast on a sandy beach served from an Italian kitchen and go-at-your-pace amenities. What else would you ask for in a vacation? More

Overall the experience that we had at the El Taj was very wonderful but there was one down point. We stayed in the Beachside 302 which is the largest unit (8 people) for ten days at the end of January. El Taj has a wonderful location in the city and the condo is great. It met all of our needs...

Dear Wanderlustga Thank you for some of the positive feedback and pointing out that city officials are trying to curb the volume of music in the open air clubs throughout Playa. There are a few clubs that violate the current rules and the city promised to take action this week. We are also reacting by installing sound resistant insulated glass... More

We had our Wedding at El Taj on Jan 14th. Everything was just perfect from the room, the service, and anything else you could want. We stayed in El Taj beachside #315. This will probably be the nicest room I will ever stay in, but it was our wedding so we went all out. The room was unbelievable. full kitchen,... More

This review is a little overdue but stayed at the El Taj in November 2011 and I'd recommend it to couples that want to be close to the action. If you're looking for peace and quiet then this might not be your place. The hotel is located on the beach but it's not a swimmable beach that's right in front... More

My husband and I just got back from Playa Del Carmen celebrating my 50th birthday at El Taj. We went with two other couples, shared our oceanfront two bedroom condo with one couple and the other couple stayed in a unit beachside. We stayed in Unit 320 which is all the way in the back of the Oceanfront property. Although... More

Dear VRB, Happy belated Birthday and thank you for recognizing the care we give to the property and the beautiful units we offer. I am sure the next time you return you will be pleasantly surprised because the city restored the beaches only a few days ago. We are in fact located in the liveliest area in Playa and most... More
