Thanks, Michael! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the house and its unbeatable beachfront location. We totally understand how the road might feel, but luckily it’s just about 250 meters of dirt road before you reach the paved main road. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!
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.

Thank you, Austin! We’re so happy to hear your 40th birthday celebration was everything you hoped for and more. It was a pleasure helping put it all together, and we’re thrilled the team and the views made it unforgettable. You’ll always have a place at Casa Taj—we’d love to welcome you back anytime!
We had 20 of us for a week. Absolutely loved our stay! Any concerns were addressed immediately, the chef and staff were delightful, plenty of space for all of us to be together, or be alone as we liked. The walkthrough was completely uninformative, but everything else was perfect!
We brought 17 people to this beautiful location. The staff was an absolute delight. They were easy to work with. The concierge did all the leg work and responded to all my questions within 12 hours. 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!

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!

Casa Taj is incredible! You literally walk out the back door of one of the most beautiful houses I've ever seen onto one of the best beaches I've ever been to. The onsite staff was fantastic, especially the chefs. The staff also took care of all laundry and cleaning every day. We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Taj!

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!

Our concierge was absolutely fantastic and I couldn't say more about how she constantly fixed everything that we needed to be done. She coordinated travel for our 12 guests staying at the house and was on top of everything and very proactive on anything we needed.

Thank you for sharing, Paul! We’re happy you had a wonderful stay and our Concierge was helpful to you.

The house, the property, and especially the staff, were all beyond expectations! The house is absolutely stunning. All of the rooms were exceptional, and we had plenty of room for our party of 18. The pool area had more than enough seating. The beach was beautiful and just beyond the pool. Again, the entire staff provided such a fantastic experience, and we cannot thank them enough!
