Overall good stay. Stayed in room 303 which is street level and not beach front so that was a little disappointing. There are two separate sections of the hotel and were we're in the secondary back location. We could hear the music from the surrounding clubs all night. Water leakage from the AC and refrigerator the first night we stayed... More

Our family stayed in unit 336 during spring break and loved it! This is one of two penthouse units directly facing the sea so it was lovely just to sit on the balcony all day while our kids played on the beach. We also had a rooftop terrace with bbq grill, and the concierge arranged to have a chef come... More

My husband and I stayed at El Taj for our ten year anniversary in November. The amazing service started the minute we got to the hotel around 11am. They had our one bedroom condo - Unit 341 - ready early so we were able to freshen up before going to the beach club. El Taj is gorgeous - the Bali... More

This was my first trip to Playa del Carmen and I loved it! The resort is also personal owned condos but the professionalism and the management of the resort was great! We stayed in beachside (not the ocean front) but it didn't matter that we couldn't see the ocean from our room because we had a pool that was practically... More

I have had the pleasure of staying at El Taj 2x. Both were fantastic experiences. All the pleasures of being home with excellent furnishings, new appliances and fast internet service (I do need to keep up with my business.). Staff is very responsive to any need or question. Room was beyond comfortable and clean. Priced well for what I wound... More

We stayed at El Taj Oceanfront unit 336 and it was AWESOME! Great views and loved the beach club, gym and location to 5th street. The best thing was drinks, dinner and more drinks on the roof top and looking at the ocean and Cozumel. If you like wine we found a great place to purchase wine. Right across from... More

There isn't much to say about El Taj, except that it is almost perfect. Rooms are big and extremely clean, bed is tall, big and amazingly comfortable (my room was the 354). Staff is friendly and helpful in a perfect balance without being pedant. My staying was PERFECT from the moment I booked from the moment I left the hotel.... More

We stayed over spring break at El Taj in unit 354. The service on the property and ine the beech area was excellent. They have private beach recliners/beds for you with the staff constantly moving your umbrella and coming to check on you. The area on the beech is alot quieter than the more public area to the right but... More

My title says it all. While this was one of the more expensive hotels when we were booking our trip, we chose it because it because of all of the great reviews. Our intentions were to check this hotel out as a possible wedding venue for our destination wedding. We focused on the negative reviews people gave it, such as... More
