Beautiful Place ; No usable beach

The condo is nice and well equipped. The building is lovely and ideally located for walking the shopping district. Beach club isn't really a "beach club". The small building in front of the beach is unusable; very small and completely leased out to small boats that stay anchored on the shore.

Very nice property; great management

The property is great, and has an excellent location, except the beach is not great in front of this property. Lots of kelp, not much sand, and many boats moored on the beach. But walking distance to lots of great restaurants, shopping and night life. Right in the center of the tourist district. Management was great during checking and responded to any issues immediately. I was very impressed with that. Nice to have your own private jacuzzi as well. I would recommend.

GREAT Family Vacation

This property was everything I expected it to be. Conveniently located near 5th avenue. The El Taj staff was extremely accommodating and helpful which was important as it was our first time in the area. Pedro at the beach club had some GREAT suggestions and was willing to help out in anyway he could (look him up for a private snorkle tour). The only thing that is deceiving is there really is not much beach in front of the condo (likely due to hurricane) and the photos have not been updated to reflect that. Not a big deal as nice public beach is within a 3 minute walk down the beach. Owners very responsive. Would definitely rent from them again.

Excellent Property That Lived Up To The Description

My husband and I stayed at this property for 5 days and loved everyday. The location is wonderful, no car needed. The property is close to everything and is also on the beach. The restaurant on the property is excellent for lunch and breakfast. It just happens to be located on the beach so you literally are sitting in chairs on the beach, priceless. The property is wonderful. The balcony table has a great view of the pool and beach area. The property is set up where you have your own private balcony with a hot tub and bar/refrigerator area outside. The kitchen is great all the latest amenities if you want to cook. There is drinking water provided for you so there is no need to worry about that. The property is clean and nicely decorated. The beds are comfortable and housekeeping came as we needed them. The office staff were great. I am really looking forward to going back to this property again, hopefully right after Christmas.
