Great place
This was a great place to stay while we were at a cheer competition. It was convenient and more than I expected. I would recommend this place to all my friends to stay at in the future.

268 El Matador
Well maintained unit, clean. sturdy since tornadoes past by and my only complaint was the rattling on the roof above the bathroom. Pretty scary being on the 6th floor but all was well. Owner was very easy to deal with and office personnel were friendly.

Comfortable and beautiful
This is one of our favorite units. Everything works! The decor is tasteful and soothing. Kitchen is supplied with most anything you need to prepare meals. Good shades on windows. The balcony is small but adequate and the view of the ocean is great. Two large beds are very comfortable. Lots of places to put your stuff. The grassy commons area between the buildings is very pleasing. Thanks to the owners and El Matador for such a nice stay!

Fantastic stay!
El Matador was just wonderful! We used every single amenity offered and enjoyed them all! The only complaint is that the lights don’t work on the tennis/basketball court and then sun sets at 7pm so we would have loved to play after that, especially on the days that were too hot to play mid-afternoon. The grounds are pretty, and the beach is gorgeous and spacious, bring the last condo on the island. There’s no other place on Okaloosa Island that we would want to be. Our condo has everything we needed, comfortable beds, clean, updated, etc.

Good unit
Nice unit. Could use more skillets in kitchen. Nice having trundle bed in 2nd bedroom. All beds were comfortable. Nice having Air Force base next to condos so have less people & condos.

Just right!
This condo was one of the best we've stayed in (we have been coming here since early 1980's). Every appliance worked. The beds were extremely comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked and the cooking pots were in very good shape. Everything was very clean! Plenty of places to put your own stuff. Two words for this condo: Comfort and Thoughtfulness. The owner had everything to make the visitors feel at home. Thank you!

Loved it!
We were very pleased with our stay at El Matador! Loved the location and privacy, the room had an amazing view and was clean and the staff there were super friendly and helpful. We will be booking our vacation for next year at El Matador!!

Vacation 2017
This was a very nice unit to stay in. The photographer made it look bigger than what it really is, however, we really enjoyed our stay. The only concern we had was that the water pressure in the shower was low and the drain was backed up somewhat. The pictures of the lounge are deceiving because there is a fee to use those. The workout facility and pool areas are super. We traveled with the youth softball team and we're very happy with the stay.

Relaxing vacation
My family of 6 was very pleased with El Matador. Our room 268 was the perfect place to view sunsets. We loved that there were no buildings to block our view.
The 2 pools were very nice.
The beach was perfect.
And our condo 268 was all we wanted it to be.
The staff we saw at El Matador were friendly.
We will recommend El Matador to family and friends.
Thank you from this Illinois Family

Love it!
The place was beautiful and staff very nice! I love how you flew the Flag half staff to show your support!!! Great American Way! I will definitely come back in the future! Security Guards are so very sweet and never once did they not mention for me to have a good day/night. Felt right at home!!

Very nice condos
I liked having a guarded entrance. The condos were clean and pretty. The only problem was that 268 had no knives at all except dinner knives.
Managers Response:
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We have added the knives to the unit and are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.
