Spring Break Vacation
We had an amazing time at El Matador! The condo is right next to the basketball court and the pool so our kids loved that! The management company was very helpful and communication was awesome, our toaster broke and within a couple of hours they had a replacement. We booked our stay for next year’s spring break already!

Amenities not as listed
We were not granted access to advertised hot tub and sauna. There were no pool keys left for us. After many days and many messages back and forth and trips to security and interrupted vacation time I was told the last 2 days a work around for obtaining a key. It was time consuming and frustrating. WiFi was wrong and had to call for updated info there. Other than that the property was nice and clean and beautiful beach.
