El Taj is the proud recipient of the 2012 TripAdvisor's Travelers choice awards for TOP HOTELS in Mexico. It was also chosen as one of the top LUXURY HOTELS and most TRENDIEST HOTELS in Mexico. No other hotel in Playa del Carmen has won all these top three categories. El Taj also received recognition from the New York Times and USA Today for its achievements and customer service. We are not "an all-inclusive Ritz type hotel" but we are considered the best in the heart of Playa!
We call ourselves a condohotel because we offer 1 - 4 bedroom luxury units that feature spacious living rooms and fully equipped kitchens with the finest details including private outdoor Jacuzzis in many units. We provide the same services and amenities usually associated with the finest hotels of the world (See full list of amenities below).
El Taj offers 57 spacious units situated on 2 separate properties. El Taj Oceanfront is directly in front of the ocean and El Taj Beachside is across the street. Guests get to use all our amenities including two incredible heated pools. One is an exotic black mosaic infinity pool on the Beachside property, while the Oceanfront’s heated pool sits right on the beach in front of our trendy indigo Beach Club. We're located in the liveliest area of Playa that offers the convenience of having the best restaurants, nightlife and shopping within one block of El Taj.
The Beachside condos have private terraces that are surrounded by exotic plants, Lilly ponds and all face the pool and cascading waterfalls. All the penthouse units in El Taj Beachside feature ocean views from the private roof decks. All the Oceanfront’s units have views of the ocean (see description of each unit).
Our designers traveled the globe to Indonesia trying to recreate an environment reminiscent to Bali. Perhaps you stretch out on one of our original antique Balinese lounge beds? Or gaze at our lush tropical gardens with the sound and sight of water falling into a large pool covered with beautiful iridescent tiles. All the architectural details and decorative accessories have been imported from Bali, including a Buddha statue that is next to a Koi fish pond with Lilies in bloom. Even our Beach Club includes furnishings and umbrellas imported from Bali.
