The condo is old but it was updated somewhat except for the kitchen. What’s up with the two ceiling fans in the little tiny kitchen? It was clean and in good condition. The hot water heater must be set too low because the hot water from the faucets is lukewarm. Bathing in lukewarm water is no good. They had two coffee makers but neither one worked. We had to go buy one and we left it behind because we flew in. The patio chairs are low so that you’re sitting below the thick decorative bannister which blocks the beach view. The beach view is great but you have to stand to see it. It was a bummer that we couldn’t sit on the patio.

This review is about unit 369 at El Matador. First impressions were fantastic! The furniture had been upgraded from the yellow pics on the web page. The balcony is the tipping part that puts it over the top! We went in May and the sunsets were spectacularly centered from our generously sized balcony! As well as dramatic views of the white sandy beach and pool area. Perfect placement in unit 369! The kitchen was stocked with absolutely everything one would ever imagine they needed. We had a delivery service bring us our water, juices, beer, wine and some groceries the evening we checked in so we didn't even have to leave the setting sun to go get heavy items. There is a shopping cart conveniently situated by the elevator so the delivery person doesn't have to lug up heavy items. They thought of everything! A restaurant menu on the fridge made quick deliveries as well. Again, this unit owner thought of everything! A few games were in the unit for the rainy hours.. It was clean and the bed was comfy. Family stayed in another unit and comparing the 2 units was night and day. If we ever have the opportunity to return to paradise, unit 369 will be the only one we'd want! Responsible unit owners and management! 10 out of 10 stars.

Enjoyed the stay and view of the gulf. Property was clean. Would definitely recommend staying at the el matador. Plenty of restaurants to choose from and things to do.
