It was a nice area but not on the beach which was disappointing. Photos do this place very much justice... See through curtains lack of privacy, tv’s do not work and getting a water gallon tank fixed took over 12 hours and 3 times asking.

Second time to stay, beautiful view, staff are amazing and helpful, if you like the nightlife this place is the correct one, there nightclubs around the corner and they're amazing, La Quinta Avenida is 2 blocks away. Nothing else to say because the experience was everything.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel staff upon arrival was less than friendly. After handing us the keys without stating the room number, “do you know where to go?” Hmm. No. Never been here! He told us nothing about the property, including what the fact that there was no beach due to erosion. Did not see any signs of adjacent dining either. False advertising here- pictures should be updated. Additionally, the gym is located a few blocks away and you need a day pass to access it. Closest public beach is a 10 min walk. You won’t want to spend much time at the hotel but the surrounding area is convenient. Hotel was clean.

We just returned from our stay at El Taj. Prior to our arrival the team were easily contactable via WhatsApp and very helpful. From the moment that we checked in, the staff were so accommodating and friendly. We stayed in one of the 2 bedroom penthouse condos, it was very well equipped (full kitchen, washer etc.). I really liked that they have a water cooler in the condo, and they also brought us ice. The condo has a rooftop terrace, with a big seating area, grill, hot tub and loungers. The complex has a very tropical feel, the pool areas are quite shaded and there is a small beach area with the great Ari restaurant. One of the best things we did was book a 9am massage on the beach, total heaven with the sound of the waves! Prior to our arrival I saw reviews complaining about the fishing boats in front of the beach, and there are boats there but it wasn’t an issue for us. We spent days at beach clubs, everything is very walkable from the location. In the first evening I was a little worried about the noise from the bars on 5th Ave, but we had no issues with noise at the condo. Highly recommend and would stay again!

El Taj Beachside Condo felt like home in paradise!
El Taj Staff was always displaying professionalism, at checkin we felt welcome, everyone we spoke always show care, we had a lost bag that was delivered to the lobby they always kept us informed and responded quickly to any of our questions, in regards to Milton's huracan that was near the area we felt safe at home, the condo was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. The views were amazing, everything was well thought of, the location was great, near all the busy restaurants, nightclubs, galleries, but yet quiet and relaxing family environment. We will highly recommend it! I assure you we will come back.
