Nice property. Could use a good cleaning and a little upgrades but overall it was a pleasant stay. A bonus is being so close to the beach and at the end of all the other resorts so not too crowded. Really liked the security checkpoint so we could always find parking.

Great view, super clean!

We had a great stay with a family of four! Unit was furnished nicely and looked to have new appliances. We had a lovely view of the gulf, beach was amazing and not very crowded even for the busy Memorial Day holiday ;-). The pool was also not crowded and was always sparkling clean.

Great break from a stressful 2020.

Being our first real overnight travel since Covid, El Matador checked all of the boxes that mattered for us. The room was spacious, and particularly indulgent for 2 people. The kitchen was a little tight but very well equipped, and between the seasonings we brought and the supermarket across the bridge, we never had to compromise on restaurant selections for meals when homemade would take the edge off. Instead, we were able to skip potentially overcrowded situations and select a couple of eateries strictly on our schedule. The "Partial view" room actually exceeded expectations. The breezeway into the front door provided a breathtaking sunset view of the undeveloped section of the island with the Sound on our right and Gulf on our left. Through the living room and out to the balcony provided direct view of a mirror image unit across approx 70 yds of well maintained courtyard, and turning to our right, both buildings open around the main pool to an impressive view of the gulf within 50 yards of the edge of the pool. There was no craning of the neck required to enjoy the view. The only limitation we experienced was that a sunrise view required a trip to the beach. Compared to some of the other properties down the beach, I definitely appreciated the option for social distancing. This was a last minute change for us as our earlier Pensacola lodging sustained damage during the storm. Turned out to be much better than our original plans.

Perfect

This condo was perfect for my husband and I. Most 1 bed/bath are normally studio types so I was not expecting the size of this one! The decor was a little dated, we giggled at the 80’s mirrored wall, but we didn’t mind one bit. AC was cold, kitchen was well stocked, plenty of linens with coin laundry on every floor. It was quiet with a beautiful stretch of beach. This was one of our best vacations yet, we will definitely be staying here again!
