All Water sports are available in Playa del Carmen including swimming, kayaking, snorkeling, scuba diving, sailing, fishing, para-sailing, sky diving, zip lining, wind surfing and more... Great shopping and restaurants can be found along Playa del Carmen\'s \"Quinta Avenida\" (5th Avenue) pedestrian promenade. 5th Avenue is THE place to see and be seen in the tourist zone and it\'s located one block off the beach, adjacent to the \"Zocalo\" (main square) in central Playa del Carmen.

White beaches, crystal clear waters, in the distance Cozumel, world famous 5th Ave for dining and shopping, perfect weather, European destination place.

The heart of the Riviera Maya is the city of Playa del Carmen, centrally located between Cancun and Tulum. In it\'s heart, Playa del Carmen offers along the famous \"Quinta Avenue (5th Avenue)\" a great ambiance of bars, open air cafes, over 250 restaurants, featuring foods from all over the world and shopping for everyone. 5th Avenue runs parallel with the beautiful Playa del Carmen beach (Mexican Riviera), so you are always 1 block away from the beautiful blue and green colors of the Playa del Carmen beaches on the Riviera Maya. Playa del Carmen is one of the most beautiful and interesting towns in the Mayan Riviera - actually in all of Mexico! An international mix of travelers come here to enjoy the beaches, sightsee, experience the culture and just generally immerse themselves in the tropical splendor of it all. Playa del Carmen Or \"Playa\" as it\'s known to the locals, is in the middle of the Riviera Maya in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico\'s Caribbean vacationland. Playa has amazing beaches, stunning condos and is a wonderful place for rest and relaxation or as an activity filled destination spot. The ferry to Cozumel, one of the top dive and snorkeling spots in the world, runs numerous trips daily. Playa is very European in both architecture and life. Once in Playa, there is no need for a car, you can walk everywhere. Walk the famous 5th Ave which is pedestrian only and a beauty at night with lights. This is where everyone goes to find a place for dinner at one of the hundreds of outdoor restaurants, bars and shops. The 5th, as the locals call it, is about 2 miles long, cobblestone and has everything from local restaurants to shopping.

Weather, white beaches, crystal turqoise water, lots of fun things to do day and night, great food.

Fly into either Cancun or Cozumel. If you fly into Cancun, Playa del Carmen is a 35 minute drive south. If you fly into the island of Cozumel, Playa is a 30 minute ferry boat ride

Playa is very European, so people walk everywhere, cars are not necessary. You can grab a cab or collectivo to go anywhere outside of Playa

People spend the day on the beach or snorkeling/diving. Nighttime is spent in outdoor restaurants.

Beautiful property right on the beach
Tyler H.

El Taj is perfectly located within PDC and Laura's unit is perfectly located within El Taj. The entire property is immaculately kept and very lush. The Balinese-inspired decor and feel of the place helped create a nice refuge from the hecticness of PDC. We had a wonderful time and where we stayed was a huge part of it.

Good place

This was a good set up. Walking distance to restaurants, shopping and bars. Right on the beach. Great. The only issue was there was a huge seaweed problem. Everyday they were cleaning it and the beach was covered in it

Amazing!
Meagan K.

My husband and I were just in Playa del Carmen and stayed at this property as well as at Porto Playa (owned by the same company, equally as beautiful). The unit and grounds are gorgeous and so tastefully decorated! The Indigo Beach Club just steps away is wonderful for any meal and drinks, either seated or lounging under your umbrella on one of the beach chairs that are free for your use. The white sandy beach is amazing, and being right on it makes it so easy to stroll down and stop at any one of the fabulous restaurants along the oceanfront. We spent much of our time hopping between our beach chairs, checking out 5th avenue and having drinks/food and returning to our chairs to soak up the sun. It was a perfect vacation and we will absolutely be returning!

Fantastic!
Cameron

This place has it all and is beautiful. The white sandy beach is literally steps from the front door. The unit is very clean and tastefully decorated. The staff is pleasant and very helpful. The Indigo Beach Club makes great food and even better drinks (try the grande margaritas!). I would highly recommend staying here.

Spent a great time with friends at El Taj Ocean in Playa del Carmen. We couldn't have had a better room, #341. Ocean views everywhere! Our room was very close to the spa pool overlooking the ocean and steps away from the beach. The service at the Indigo Beach Club was fantastic , whether they where cleaning your sunglasses or repositioning your beach umbrella! If you have never been to Playa before , there is so much to do. I've enjoyed side trips to Tulum to visit the ruins and the snorkeling at Xel-Ha. And of course the shopping on 5th Avenue which is only a block away! If you are looking for an overall great vacation ,stay here, you won't be disappointed!

Playa Paradise

El Taj Ocean was a great place for a beach getaway. Laura, who booked our reservation, couldn't have been more helpful in planning our trip. Unit 341 was beautiful and just steps away from the white sandy beach and clear blue waters of the Caribbean. We loved sitting out on the patio having coffee and watching the sunrise or sitting out in the evening with a glass of wine watching the sunset. The Indigo Beach Club on the property is awesome. Their service was amazing . Great food & drinks. Can't wait to go back!

El Taj Ocean was the ideal place for a beach getaway with my friends. The best feature of this resort is its breathtaking view of the ocean. The crystal clear Caribbean waters of Playa Del Carmen greeted us each morning as we drank our coffee on the patio. Each day we relaxed on the beach in luxurious lounge chairs, and even beds, while the staff attended all our needs (drinks, snacks, umbrellas, lunch, and even cleaned our sunglasses). The condo had every upscale amenity and is located just steps from the aqua spa. This is a perfect spot to enjoy a late afternoon dip in the pool, snack or cocktail. At night, we were only 2 blocks from 5th Avenue where we found a bevy of delicious restaurants (our favorite was Carboncitas) and retail shops. Overall, El Taj Ocean is an amazing destination for anyone looking to take a 5-star beach vacation!

Amazing Beach Vacation
Jann B.

El Taj Ocean was amazing. The picturesque ocean view from the patio was so relaxing. Each morning we sat outside and drank our coffee and each evening we had drinks and appetizers while watching the sun set. We spent the day lounging in comfortable beach chairs, while every request was handled graciously by the staff. Late afternoons we languished in the aqua spa steps from the patio relaxing after a day at the beach. The evenings were so much fun as we headed down to 5th Avenue for delicious food, drinks and entertainment. We're already planning another "amazing beach vacation" at El Taj Ocean!

Wonderful hotel
Nick L.

My girlfriend and I stayed at the El Taj Oceanfront and it was amazing! All of the hotel staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. They were on top of everything and create an extremely relaxing and enjoyable experience. The unit itself is beautiful and offers amazing ocean views, fully furnished condo, exceptionally clean, and is only steps away from the infinity pool. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to enjoy Playa Del Carmen.

A beautiful property! We had eveything we hoped for and more.
Kelly M.

On a recent trip to Playa Del Carmen, I stayed at El Taj Ocean. The one bedroom I stayed in was wonderful. It was a one bedroom condo closest to the beach, and the only one to have views from all the rooms. There is a large private balcony off the master bedroom, as well as a terrace off the kitchen and living room. I loved sitting out on the terrace, and enjoyed the great breeze and sound of waves crashing ashore. Indigo Beach Club, located at El Taj Ocean, is beautiful and the locals are some of the most friendly people I have ever met. The breakfast at Indigo Beach Club is wonderful and the property is always clean. El Taj Ocean offers many different types of exercise options, such as yoga on the beach and water aerobics, or you can use The Gym located at Porto Playa. The owner of this unit has thought of everything, including personal touches that make you feel at home. I would recommend this unit to anyone looking for an excellent one bedroom property at El Taj Ocean.
