Such a beautiful, amazing property the employees are so efficient and I honestly couldn’t ask for better in terms of that. I’m not much of a beach goer so this didn’t bother me as much but if you do like going to the beach, I do think this property is probably not the best for that. I just found the beach to be a little bit gross because of the Seaweed and stuff, the staff did let us know ahead of time that it was a situation but overall, it was so good very pet friendly. Everybody is very pleasant. The spa that they recommend is a little bit suspect so just be careful in that aspect of things but other than that, the property itself, the area and the town were very amazing I would come back in a heartbeat.

Wonderful place to stay

Wonderful place to stay, beautiful grounds, amazing pools, friendly and helpful staff. The beach isn't a swimming beach as fishing boats anchor there, but beach and restaurants all walkable. Very quiet at night. Enjoyed the concierge items to use, including sunscreen and bicycles.

It was our first trip to Cancun. I was not sure between the all inclusive and regular hotel. Finally We decided to go with El taj. So glad that we did. Such a clean and nice condo hotel. We had ocean view with a private spa in the balcony. The hotel was even better than the pictures. My 2 teenagers loved it. The location is perfect. Close to the fifth st which is live all night with cute shops. I have recommended this hotel to all my friends and families. We will come back again next year

The pools on both Beachside and Oceanfront were clean and comfortable, with beautiful water features. Some of the jets in the jacuzzi weren’t operable and the elevator had us trapped for a solid 10 minutes with no one to hear us yell for help not did the alarm didn’t work. Luckily the door eventually opened on its own. The condo itself was perfect: comfortable, fully loaded, spacious. I would come back but I definitely wouldn’t risk the elevator again

Vacation here with my family and I have nothing but good things to say about this place. The staff, the service and the location was wonderful. If it wasn't for the sargasm, which we understand it would have been even better however there are other options for swimming. But we would definitely stay here again the location is amazing you can literally walk a few blocks to go shopping, have dinner and be in the night Life but can still come back to a quiet room.
