Great stay!!!!

Beautiful condo in a great location. We have stayed at the El Matador for years and years, and I can honestly say that this is by far the nicest condo that we have ever stayed in. It looks like it must have been updated recently and felt extremely clean, which was one of the most important factors for me when searching for a condo because our 10 month old son would be crawling everywhere. We will definitely be back to stay here!

Very clean and fresh

Beautiful unit, very clean and newly renovated. Kitchen is well stocked and had everything you would need just bring your food. Bathroom was spacious and the shower is amazing. Bedding was luxurious and the mattress was very comfortable. Great location too just a few feet from the pool and beach entrance. Highly recommend!!!

Great Spot

July 6th-13th 2019 We have a two year old child and the room was PERFECT for us to get to the pool and back to the room. I counted 30 steps from the back of our room to the pool. Room was big and very clean. The bed was very comfortable, and plenty of room to put your clothes. I would definitely get this room again. Thanks.
