We had an amazing time at this beautiful property! It is exactly as pictured. The manager was very accommodating and the staff was friendly. Beach massages were my favorite. Restaurants and clubs are a short walk away. Fishing and snorkeling tours depart right behind the hotel which was super convenient. Mamitas beach club is also a couple blocks for a more swimable beach. Our family will definitely visit El Taj again.

Love the privacy, the home away from home feel. Traveled with two friends and we had our own rooms with common space and top terrace. Staff isn't bugging you, they come as needed! Each room had its own AC unit and a main space unit. Having a washer and dryer was great as well. Very nice space overall.

It is beautiful, clean and right on the beach. We had a small issue with our hot tub and we could not use it after the first day but it 100 degrees outside and we were next to the ocean so we didn’t really miss it.

El servicio al cliente excedió mis expectativas! Mi hijo se enfermó despues de comer demasiado en un restaurante (no del hotel) la noche anterior y me ayudaron con hacer el check out mas tarde, llame a room service y les dije que me serviria un te de manzanilla con jengibre, como no lo tenian me mandaron el de manzanilla con pedacitos de jengibre natural! En general todo el staff super amable.

I did not have a happy stay at this resort for the following reasons: Unfortunately during our stay the elevator was out of order and we were given a third floor condo. There are (3) sets of stairs for each floor. With me advising the front desk I have Achilles tendinitis and sciatica back pain I was not offered a room on a lower floor. The master bedroom has a balcony with yellow caution tape due a broken or railing needing repair so I was not comfortable utilizing the balcony. The chairs/cushions on the beach as well has by the pool are worn out, terribly stained and in desperate need of replacement. Overall due to the above issues I would not recommend to stay as there’s no regard to your health or safety. Pictures are provided.

I enjoyed the condo. Only complaint was how small the fridge was. You can only fit a few drinks. We thought it would be full size and we ended up buying groceries.. sadly not everything fit but that’s on us. Everything else is walking distance! I would come back to this beautiful condo. There are boats on the beach but you literally walk to your right 30 sec down and the rest of the beach is clear and nice.
