From check-in to check out. This was a wonderful vacation. The house is amazing; the cook and the entire staff are wonderful. After the first meal the chef prepared, we never even thought of going out to eat. I can't say enough good things about the property management. The kitchen and the entire house is well equipped. The entire family loved the week we spent here. The excursion suggested by Maria were wonderful. I can't say good enough about this property.

The house is all that it says and more. The location is great in regards to getting around, I recommend golf carts for the short travels to the grocery and marina. I would definitely come back to this house!

Everything you could ask for...and more!

We traveled as a group of 14 and everything about this house was beyond expectations! From the size of the house, to being on the beach and the location, and the entire staff who took care of us, it was an incredible experience. Gustavo is an excellent chef! Moises and the staff took excellent care of us. The communication and checking in on us about our stay was very welcoming and they were very helpful in giving us info on the town and things to do in the area. Very highly recommend staying at Casa Taj! You will not regret it!

Back again, and will be back again!

We have stayed here multiple times and plan to stay here again next year. It's a fantastic location, great views, and the house is amazing. There are always updates it seems every year and it's truly an experience just being there. There is so much to do and see, and the reality is you can stay in the house and have just as much peace. We (17 of us this last time) look forward to being there sooner than later. Pura Vida!

Amazing Experience at Casa Taj!

An absolutely incredible experience end to end - Maria did an incredible job of coordinating every detail and the team (chef, bartender, housekeeper, security, etc) did so much above and beyond to surprise and delight us — from cutting fresh coconuts for coconut water, building a bonfire and more. Couldn’t recommend this more!

The Casa Taj on Playa Potrero lived up to expectations! The location is stunning, the beach was beautiful and quiet even during the most popular time of year, and the staff, inclusive of chef and kitchen helpers, housekeepers, pool attendant, and security made the experience something truly special.
