What Our Guests Are Saying

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“We enjoyed a wonderful vacation here. Couldn’t be happier with the room. It had everything we needed and more! We also loved the location. Our stay also included a family reunion in one of the private rooms. It was perfect for our gathering and was a hit! The staff was so easy to work with. We will be back!”

– Joy Crouse


⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“We enjoyed our stay at El Matador. We have been staying at El Matador for years and have tried many of the different buildings. They have all been nice. They have basketballs and tennis rackets to check out with id that my children enjoyed. It was refreshing in the “cold” pool and enjoyable in the “hot” pool. There is a sauna and hot tub (mens/women’s/co-ed at times) to use as well. The pool guys were out every morning cleaning and taking care of things. Well-maintained property.”

Location

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“One of the greatest resorts to stay. Annual summer trips were had here growing up. Right on the Gulf Coast, this place had everything. Swimming pools to relax by and easy access to the white sand beaches. At night it was only a short trip to restaurants down the strip. I hope to get back to this relaxing place at some point soon.”

 Scott Heslop

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Our condo was perfect for our honeymoon! Ocean view, two minute walk to the beach, quiet, peaceful…it was everything we wanted and more. There is miles of undeveloped beach to the west so it felt like we had our own private beach every day. Our condo and the complex itself was clean and beautiful! We would definitely go back!”

– Alyssa Pettiford

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Clean, recently updated room perfect for my family. We couldn’t have been happier with our accommodations. From our stay to hearing stories of those who have been coming for 40+, those who live there that highly recommend us to purchase a property and personnel could not have been more helpful. We have made friends and memories that I believe will last a lifetime.”
