El Taj Oceanfront and Beachside Condo Hotel

We liked it so much we extended our stay from 4 nights to 11 nights! We had the one double bed option and the apartment was very big with a very well equipped kitchen, fridge, microwave, water dispenser, big living area. A nice bathroom with a big shower area. The bedroom was also big with a very large very comfortable bed. Air conditioning throughout the apartment. It basically has everything you will need to live here! Very well located and very quiet despite being one street away from all the action. A very big thank you to Miriam all the guys in reception and the team there.... check in was very easy and you took care of everything we asked for.... thank you. Regina our cleaner also did an amazing job and the apartment was always very clean, new towels when we asked and a great service. If you want a beach there is a tiny one but 5 minutes in either direction there's 2 lovely massive beaches with powder sand. We found the negative comments about this place totally false and unjustified. For those complaining about the seaweed.... we travelled from Honduras to Belize to Playa Del Carmen and there's seaweed in the whole of Central America.... it's natural and no one's fault! For divers.... Phantom Divers are just round the corner and are excellent and there dive boats are on the beach at the apartments so minimal walking with gear! We will definitely stay here again.

We stayed in the penthouse. Vary spacious apartment with all amenities included. Roof top BBQ was great. Everyday fresh towels and good cleaning. Also location was very good. Special shout out to Pedro of PDC Tours located just around corner of the reception. He arranged all our 4 tours (Tulum, Chitzen Itza, CocoBongo and Xcarret) and customized them to our wishes (private transportation). And important, if we needed some advice, he was there to help out.

The apartment was fully equipped with everything we needed, including a washer and dryer, which was incredibly convenient. Daily cleaning service was provided, keeping the space spotless throughout our stay. The location is absolutely perfect—a quick walk to the famed 5th Avenue with its abundance of restaurants, shops, cafes, spas, and more. It's close to everything you might want to explore in Playa del Carmen.

As the same hotel is on both sides of the street then you can visit two different pools. In our terrace we had private jacuzzi, nice to have as to get to the pools you have to go down the stairs (depends on which floor you are staying). Hotel does not have their own restaurant but there is one attached to it and visitors have easy access to it through beach. Pretty much everything you need is close enough to walk to and when you have rental then garage is also available (without extra cost)

We loved it. A pity that the beach couldn’t be used but this was a problem throughout our stay in Mexico. Staff friendly, room extremely clean and cleaned fully upon request every single day. The condo is super comfortable, it has literally everything that you need. It made us extend the stay. No noise disturbance which is the case in a lot of other places. The swimming pool on the opposite side is super quiet and beautiful.
