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.

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 Taj on Playa Potrero

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. The house itself is fantastic, with incredible views of the beach, great pool, lawn games, beach chairs, and beautiful sunsets!
