El Taj is the proud recipient of the 2012 & 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 hotel, 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 Jacuzzis in many terraces. El Taj offers 57 spacious units in total,
situated on two separate sister properties.
El Taj Oceanfront is directly in front of the ocean and El Taj Beachside is across the street.
Guests get to use all of 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 the best restaurants, nightlife and shopping within one
block of El Taj.
The Beachside condos have private terraces that are surrounded by exotic plants and lily ponds, and
all face the pool and cascading waterfalls. All of the penthouse units in El Taj Beachside feature
ocean views from their private rooftop decks. All of the Oceanfront's units have views of the ocean
(see description of each unit).
Our designers traveled the globe in search of a perfect design, and selected most of materials in
Indonesia, trying to recreate an environment reminiscent to Bali. Perhaps you want to 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.
We offer services and amenities that are usually associated with the world's finest hotels. Playa
del Carmen has numerous options for hotels with nice amenities, but El Taj truly stands above the
rest.
