Would highly recommend!
We really enjoyed our short and sweet stay, just a few steps from the beach, located on the bottom floor of the building which was perfect considering we do have children! Would highly recommend!

Excellent Vaca!
We went to Fort Walton for our Babymoon and this was perfect for us. It was clean and a great size for the two of us. The updated shower was great. They also have two separate pools and one is heated! Everyone is so kind and the beach was pretty clear in the beginning of May. Thank you for a great trip!

El Matador 515
My daughter and I really enjoyed our recent stay at El Matador! Our unit was very clean, very nice, and the beds were comfortable. We will definitely visit again and will likely try to get the same unit. I do have a few suggestions. It would be nice to have a pizza pan and pizza cutter in the kitchen since pizza is a must on vacation! Also, a tv with Netflix would be nice. My daughter likes to watch her shows in the evenings. It was very hot in the unit when we arrived. I think it was 78 degrees and took quite a while to cool down. I would definitely set it lower for guests to be comfortable. Overall, a great first experience there at a nice unit to stay in!

Nice get away
Very nice appointments. Comfortable except for AC blowing across the bed, had to cover our heads when it came on during the night. Beach access ok, pools looked nice but did not use. Will consider visiting again.

Excellent vacation unit.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Unit 515. The renovations were great. The unit is very accessible for my elderly parents and they also had an excellent vacation.

Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at El Matador, Unit 515
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Unit 515. Everything was very nice and well cared for. My only minor complaints were that the mattress on the bunk room bed, and the couch were not very comfortable but I only note that in case the owners want to know what to update in the future. Overall my stay was great and I will certainly be back.
Owners Response: Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We appreciate the kind comments and wanted to let you know that the twin mattress and the living room furniture are going to be replaced this year.

Great Place to Vacation!
I must say, el Matador was awesome! We did have an unfortunate freak accident with a shower door, but the management team was responsive and worked with us to make sure things were back to normal as soon as possible. El Matador management is a great team! Thank you el Matador Mgt. Team for taking care of us! We had a great stay! And we are looking forward to coming again!

Exceeded expectations
The condo was extremely nice and comfortable and convenient to the pool, sauna and laundry room. It was equipped with everything! Our only complaint is storm Alberto that caused us to have to leave 4 days early but the short time we were there was amazing! Everyone at El Matador is friendly, the grounds and beach are beautiful and we will be back!! Highly recommend!!
