Stayed Dec 31, 1969Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first time in 424. We have been to el matador many times. Slight odor in unit. Kitchen not well stocked. Very few utensils. Furniture outdated. Recliner would not come down without brutal force. Bed comfortable. Shower updated which was nice.

I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We always have a great experience with Alicia Hollis (nearly 25 years). The staff is friendly, helpful and always willing to make your stay comfortable. As far as the unit we stayed in, EM 424, it’s in dire need of updating but it was clean. The shower was amazing! It’s a good location being close to the pool and beach and the free beach service is a bonus. One thing to note about that unit and I was very disappointed about was...no hangers in the closet!!! At least there was some drawer space but no hangers was a first! We also were there at a very busy time during fall breaks (which we won’t do again) and had a hard time sitting on the patio a couple nights due to the strong smell of weed! It even came in through our bathroom vents a couple times. Lesson learned, We should’ve complained about the weed smell so it could be investigated as recreational is not legal in Florida. There are a lot of nicer, remodeled units in the El Matador for the same money. Still a great visit to our favorite vacation spot to relax!

I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was great. Loved having a security guard. Overall the condo was good. Needs updates and a few things fixed. The patio furniture had something to be desired. The chairs, if you want to call them that, were made of pvc piping and one was broke.

Stayed Jun 1, 2023El Matador really is a hidden gem of places to stay when searching for a place to take your family. We came as a family of 4 (Me, Husband,& 2 Kiddos). We searched from Orange Beach, Alabama all the way to Panama City Beach, Florida. If I’m being honest, I was a bit worried I could be disappointed because our condo rental was several hundred dollars cheaper($300-$500) than most other place we looked at. Plus, I do not know anyone who has ever stayed there. We took a chance and we LOVED the location. The beach was perfect! You literally park right outside your building and walk right in! If anyone goes to the beach often, then you understand parking can be a nightmare during the summer months! Not to mention you may have to walk a mile to your condo! Not here! My favorite thing about the entire trip was El Matador is the last building on the strip before it turns to miles of beach that’s off limits due to air aviation! So that means not near as many people trying to hit the beach! Not near as crowded! As for our room, it was great. We had plenty of room! It is a large one bedroom unit! It was very clean and the balcony view was wonderful. You can see the pool and ocean from the balcony. Very peaceful! The entire El Matador grounds are clean. The pool was a hit with the kids! It was also big and clean! We will certainly be returning to El Madador for future beach trips!
