El Taj Oceanfront And Beachside Condo Hotel - A Beachfront Property with Balinese-Inspired Design, Private Jacuzzis, and Luxury Condos

Spread across two sister properties, this 4-star Playa del Carmen hotel encompasses 57 luxury condos ranging from one to four bedrooms. El Taj features expansive floor plans with fully equipped kitchens, private terraces, and flat-screen TVs in all rooms. The Beachside property showcases an exotic black mosaic infinity pool with a large Jacuzzi, surrounded by lily ponds and cascading waterfalls. The Oceanfront section includes a heated beachfront pool adjacent to an exclusive beach club. Penthouse units in the Beachside section offer ocean views from private roof decks, while all Oceanfront units directly face the sea. Property amenities include three restaurants, a fitness center, spa services, and yoga classes. El Taj sits in Centro's vibrant district, with Fifth Avenue's shopping, dining, and nightlife within walking distance.

Pros

Heated pools and Jacuzzis available from November to March

Complimentary breakfast service once every three days

24/7 front desk and security services

Unlimited bottled water and first bag of coffee provided free

“What I appreciate here is the smart combination of condo living and hotel services, all with a Balinese touch. The location places you steps from Fifth Avenue's buzz, yet the hotel maintains a secure, serene atmosphere. If you're seeking a blend of independence and pampering, this could be the right choice.”
