El Taj Ocean Front and Beachside Condo Hotel

Riviera Maya, Mexico
4 out of 5
Approx hotel star rating
Based on 1959 reviews

Official Description

El Taj Oceanfront and Beachside Condo Hotel is the proud recipient of the 2014 & 2013 TripAdvisor's Travelers' Choice Award for top hotels in Mexico. It was also chosen as one of the top luxury hotels in Mexico, in addition to one of the trendiest hotels. Playa del Carmen has no other hotel that has won all these top three categories. El Taj has also received recognition from The New York Times and USA Today for its design, luxury, and excellence in service. We are not an all-inclusive Ritz-type resort, but we are considered to be the best of the area's hotels. Playa del Carmen has a lot to offer, but nothing compares to El Taj. El Taj's luxury units have one to four bedrooms that feature huge living rooms and fully equipped kitchens with private outdoor hot tubs on many terraces. El Taj offers 57 spacious units in total, situated on two separate sister properties.

El Taj Perfection

30 Nov 2024
This hotel is perfect if you like to walk around town. Easy access to shopping, restaurants and bars. It's right on the beach and has wonderful views. It also has a nice restaurant, bar and pool. The rooms are large and comfortable with nice amenities. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. There is also a tour company that is set up on the street outside of El Taj, PDC Riviera Fun by Pedro Tours. Pedro will set anything up that you need or want. He can send you on some of the best and most exclusive private tours that you can imagine. We have been using Pedro's service for years and his tours and excursions are nothing short of perfect! If you want to do something that will create lasting memories, find Pedro. You won't be sorry!

Luxurious apartments right on the beach and a short walk to all the restaurants and shops.

31 Mar 2025
I booked 4 apartments for myself and my family for a special family celebration. All the rooms were excellent! Huge spaces, incredibly comfortable beds and pillows, close to everything but also amazingly quiet. The pools are beautiful and it is located right on the beach. Highly recommend.

30 Apr 2025
The hotel met and exceeded our expectations. The staff was great and helpful every time we needed them. the pool was clean and peaceful. The grounds were well maintained. Teresa did an amazing job keeping the room very clean and stocked and we never even saw when she did it.

Great Hotel

30 Apr 2025
We stay here a couple different times a year. We love the hotel and the people who run it. The beach has slowly gotten worse through the years unfortunately but this doesn’t bother us. The location and comfort of the hotel more than makes up for the beach for us. We use Pedro(has a booth around the corner from hotel) for years which does an excellent job and is very trustworthy for all our excursions. I think you can use hotel also but not sure. All in all love this hotel!!
