We went there for my parents 50th anniversary. The elevator was broken, and my parents who were celebrating couldn't walk up the stairs. They did not have an extra room that we could trade until a few days later. Luckily my brother was staying there and we could trade with him for a few days and then they could get us a good room where the elevator was on the other side. We had an excellent stay and really enjoyed it there. It would have been nice though if they had attempted to fix the elevator once in the two weeks we were there though.

My experience with El Taj was great! We were there in September.The service, the room and its amenities were incredible. It has a private parking garage. Room was clean, we had a family condo 2 twin beds in one room and a queen in another-very comfortable beds, full kitchen and living room to relax after a long day. It is walking distance to the beach and restaurants near by. Totally recommend El Taj and we would totally choose this hotel if we visit Playa del Carmen once again. Thank you!

This is a great place on a quiet, quaint street right on the beach and walking distance (5 minutes) to great restaurants and cafes, shops. Both pool areas are great: the main pool is heated and right by the beach; the second pool has a relaxing vibe. The hotel has access to a gym (2 min walk) that offers great yoga classes. The staff is super friendly; special thanks to Eric for connecting us with amazing excursions guy Pedro. We had a two bedroom penthouse with a terrace. Great views from the terrace and loved the spaciousness. Overall, highly recommend.

Walking distance to main Street, public beach and stores. (-) Mosquitos mostly due to plants and season and we had wasp but it has been taken care. Condo is a bit old and ventilation is not great.

Condo is very nice and clean. Staff is spectacular. Pools just ok, not a a lot of seating and surprisingly very cold. Hot tub in main pool is not heated? Pool and hot tub on street side is good but only a few seats. Overall, due to the awesome staff, location and cleanliness it is a great place to stay!
