About El Taj Oceanfront and Beachside Condo Hotel
El Taj is a condo-style hotel, and that shapes the whole stay. Instead of a standard room, you get a suite with its own entrance, a dining area and a kitchen or kitchenette. Mornings can start with coffee on a private terrace or balcony, and the day can drift between the garden, the pool and the sand. The property is rated 4 stars and holds a 9 guest rating from more than 1,500 reviews.
Water is the centerpiece. There is an infinity pool and an outdoor pool, and a hot tub gives you somewhere to unwind after a day out. The property is beachfront with a private beach area, and sun loungers and beach chairs are ready for lazy afternoons. Families will find swimming pool toys, board games and puzzles, babysitting and child services, and kid meals, so the youngest guests are looked after too.
When you want to slow down, the spa and wellness center offers massage services. Yoga classes, fitness classes and aerobics are available, and there is a fitness center with locker rooms. For active days, diving, snorkelling and fishing are part of the offering, and a tour desk helps with planning. Back at the hotel, you can eat at the ASI restaurant or head to the beach bar. If you would rather stay in, you can arrange a private chef for a meal in your suite.
Practical touches make longer stays easier. Free WiFi and free parking are included, and there is a 24-hour front desk, laundry, luggage storage and daily housekeeping. Airport pick up and drop off can be arranged, and the property is two blocks from Fifth Avenue. It is a base that lets you choose between the beach and the city.
