Stayed in a beachfront unit with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths for 5 nights. It was clean, spacious, and well appointed. The bed was quite comfortable and the unit was quiet. We made use of the gym which was well equipped. The beach was steps away from our condo and the beach service was great! Like what other reviews have... More

We are a family of 4 (with two small boys) from a Central European country. We had the pleasure to spend our vacation (two weeks) in two superb Condos Hotels, first in Maya Villa and then in El Taj Beachside. We had penthouse apartments in both cases with all those great features and amenities others have already described before us.... More

El Taj is a beautiful condo set in a great location in Playa. But... U are going to spend time at the beach and pool right?! Well, the pool is way to small to swim in and enough room for about 6 kids. And the beach, there are never enough beach chairs if u are there during high season. And... More

We stayed in Unit 345, the accomodations and decor were amazing. The unit is a 3 bedroom with a private terrace and hot tub, a definate bonus! The location is great, on the beach and a short walk to 5 Avenue where all the shops and restaurants are. Very well maintained and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

This place is laid back and nice. Best part is the roof top view and the 3rd level balcony overlooking the ocean. It's a great private get away where you can relax, people watch and privately celebrate April 20th ;-) Outside of swimming in the ocean I spent no time tanning on the beach because the roof was so much...
