I got to know the engineering staff quite well due to numerous equipment / appliances / fixtures being broken or in disrepair. All were eventually fixed and was only bearable as I was working remotely. If one is on holiday, you shouldn't have to invest your time into managing property repairs. In fairness, I was told the unit was not used extensively due to Covid and in any coastal environment, the salt and humidity takes its toll. But that should not be the renters issue. The on-site Property manager also cited supply chain issues which has reeked havoc globally. Completely understandable but not what was bargained for. The property Manager did offer a rebate for the inconvenience. The Beach / Bar staff was phenomenal. Although the beach is very narrow. The VRBO images are from years ago. The beach in front of El Taj in very narrow. Maybe worth looking at Google Earth for current condition at your booking window. Finally no reflection on the facility as they can't control this but the entire Riviera Maya has a seaweed issue. Check calendar for most severe window. it was a minimal issue the first 3 weeks but from March 17 on, in our case it, became problematic and very odorous. The unit would be great if properly maintained and again, the staff was fabulous and attentive!!!! ##### Joe S. Stayed 29 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sheri M. 28 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wow! The view and perfect location What an amazing property. The pictures are exactly as they seem. This condo-hotel is a wonderful experience. The master king bedroom literally looks at the Ocean, as does the living room. The secondary King has a view as well, though slightly obstructed. The pool and cold jacuzzi pool are also exactly as described. The condo-hotel shares a beach with fishing and diving boats, which makes swimming from the beach club challenging but not impossible. There were small children building tiny sandcastles, but there is not much room on the beach. We dove four times with Phantom divers, their dive shop a 3-minute walk from the condo and we had an amazing experience. I suspect the fishing is equally as good, as we would watch the catches come in daily. My family of 5 stayed here for four nights and we really enjoyed it. The location of the condo in proximity of the fun streets of Playa to wander about is simply perfect. You are close to the crazy bars, but not so close that you hear them when you want to go to bed, and everything felt very safe the entire time. The beds are super firm, and the hotel staff is impeccable. I would definitely recommend this spot. ##### Sheri M.
