We were very pleased with unit 138. The unit was exactly as advertised in the photos; very clean, spacious and private. We could not hear any of the neighbors and we had a great view of the beach and gulf. We are looking forward to returning next year.

We stayed here for a week in October and had perfect weather in this corner of paradise. We had a tiny apartment in Block 6 which suited us just fine. It is so nice to cater your own breakfast rather than face a hotel crowd. We loved the pool and the beach. The complex is located at the end of... More

This condo was totaly updated. The kitchen is beautiful great furniture and beds. Beautiful views from the kitchen and balconey. I have been coming to El Matador for over 30 years. Building 4 is our favorite and we will allways stay in 432 now. Sunset Resort Rentals are great to deal with and this condo is the nicest unit in... More

My family and I have stayed at El Matador for 20+.years. This place will always hold a special place in my heart since I started going there with my parents and they have since passed on but this complex has gone down the tubes. 1) Outside Management company that seems to run most of them there. The units they run,... More

Beach and view are awesome! The rooms are a toss up on which ones are updated. We ask the rental property brokers which ones have been redone. Now that there are pictures on line we can check the rooms out. They never show the bathrooms though. For the most part they are clean. New shower surronds have been going in... More

We just returned home and had a lovely time. BUT, our first day, or I should say, our first unit was a nightmare. It was on the 5th floor in Bulding #4. Great location, but the room was so gross, I was waiting for a animal to come out of one of the holes in the walls. The carpet was... More

We stayed in a 2 bedroom/ 2 bath unit that was in the middle row of buildings. The walk to the beach was not far, but on the days that we had a lot of chairs, etc., we simply drove our SUV over to the parking lot closest to the pool by the beach. This property is beginning to show... More

My husband, 18 month old daughter and I stayed in building 3, unit 324 I believe. We had a fabulous time. The view was amazing from our living room/balcony & bedroom. I would definately recommend. We met so many people who come back to El Matador every summer, one couple has been going back for 18 years!! The beach was... More

My family and I stayed in unit E264. This was a very beautiful unit with views of the sound and the gulf. The walk to the beach was easy, especially with a six year old and a one year old. The beach had very white powdery sand and we were able to put up our canopy with no issues. It... More
