We had an incredible time. The concierge was beyond amazing. Couldn’t have pulled it all off with a big group of friends without this place. They helped me book a last minute car for a friend with a delayed flight. I highly recommend staying here, especially if you are a group of friends

Perfect for a group with teens

This condo worked perfectly for our two-family trip. It was right in the middle of PdC action, but was still quiet enough to sleep while the party went on over at the clubs. Beds and bedrooms were very comfortable. The staff was wonderful, and super helpful. Loved all the deck options, one on the first floor was covered so we could hang out in the rain, and the hot tub deck had views of the ocean. Hot tub definitely is rough and leaking pretty heavily, but it heated up just fine. Like all the other reviews, the master bathroom shower doesn't seem to be even connected to the hot water heater (never warmed up), but there are 3 other showers in the condo that did heat up. Dishwasher didn't work, but the cleaning staff would wash the dishes if we requested full service. Awesome to have a washer and dryer, and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes. The beach at the hotel is non-existent, but we just walked a few blocks north and there was a great beach just north of the Constituyentes dock. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at El Taj and would stay here again.

Great space

Great space for all to enjoy. Lots of balconies and individual space yet large common areas for my 4 adult children in a charming setting. Close proximity to beaches and all Playa Del Chamen has to offer.

Nice unit, perfect for larger groups

Great for sleeping large party, plenty of bathrooms with good bath amenities. Kitchen pervert for cooking in or just preparing leftovers. Only issues were hot tub steps marked off with caution tape and no refrigerator on the deck as listed. Master shower takes 10-15 min to get hot water and then the ability to adjust between hot/cold is tedious at best. My wife took to using another bathroom but that was problematic because another couple was in the queen suite on our floor. Problems reported but not remedied in the 8 days we were there.

Graduation trip

We booked this trip to celebrate our daughters college graduation. The condo was fantastic! Enough rooms for 7 adults to have their own space, but also had a large living room, kitchen and patio space for us to all gather together. The pools were beautiful! It’s conveniently close to all the shopping and restaurants that 5th Avenue has to offer. The concierge helped us reserve a private tour guide to Tulum and then cenote swimming, the highlight of our trip. They also helped arrange private airport transfer. My only complaint is that the beach has eroded and was nonexistent. We were really looking forward to lounging on the beach that was represented in the photos. The hottub needs to be replaced, jets didn’t work, and some dish towels would be helpful in the kitchen. Overall our entire group had a great time!

Great place to stay; excellent service!

Beautiful property and condo... money well spent! Finished with high end materials & furnishings. Great space for our party of 8. We had plenty of room to gather when we wanted to but also ample space when we needed some down time. The beds & bedding were very comfortable. There were some minor upkeep issues, but the El Taj staff was very quick to remedy which I can only assume had been quickly approved by the condo owners. So thank you to all involved! The location was perfect for our older teenage children…they loved being so close to all the action in Playa! My husband and I preferred to stay isolated near the quiet pool. My only complaint would be lack of a beach on the hotel property. Not a huge deal as our children are old enough to walk a little further down to find some sandy, clear waters, but would not have appreciated it if I was trying to tote any smaller children and all their things. All in all, a fun vacation, especially if you want to be close to the action! And to clarify, you are close enough to hear all the dance clubs at night if you are sitting outside, but thanks to a well constructed building and owner provided white noise machines, when you retired for the night, it was very quiet. Thank you for a great stay! The great people of El Taj and all of Mexico did not disappoint.

Amazing place, great location

This is our 4th time staying here and we love it. The absolute best location - so convenient. The staff is very courteous and quick. Pools are great. This unit is laid out perfectly for a big group yet privacy. We loved it so much we bought a unit here for ourselves
