The online photos do not do The Taj justice! Everything exceeded my expectations...a five star experience...the service is outstanding. The views are stunning...the beach and pool setting were perfect for my family. This is a luxury boutique hotel that checked all the boxes: close to great food, spa, shopping and always an open lounge chair available beach and poolside. The service and views are what make this place stand out.

From the moment we stepped into our condo hotel rental we began a perfect vacation experience. Directly on the beach, favorite features include spacious rooms that are casual yet elegant and super clean and comfortable. TVs are in each room and was a special treat. The property service is excellent and includes a restaurant that can deliver either to your beach lounge chair or to your room—or enjoy tables alongside the beachfront. Your umbrella is adjusted to your liking while lounging. Daily housekeeping with varying levels of service keep everything neat and tidy. Knowledgeable staff was available for setting up day trips—we visited Tulum. Daily massages are just steps away, also on the beach. With so many international restaurants a short walk away, you may not need to cook in the fully equipped kitchen. But if you choose to, it is ready for you. Playa del Carmen has a very safe feel to it, with Police SUVs patrolling the tourist areas with their blue lights. I had no fears for safety whatsoever. But beyond the physical attributes, it was the warmth and helpfulness of the host Laura that truly made our vacation memorable. She went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, offering tips and advice that allowed us to explore Playa del Carmen like locals. If you're looking for a slice of paradise in Playa del Carmen, look no further than this condo. It's not just a place to stay; it's a gateway to an unforgettable Mexican adventure. Can’t wait to return!
