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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Taylor Sep 14, 2020 Disliked: Room comfort, communication #### Dont care for their guess the accomadations were not the best, our room was broken into in the middle of the nite a spanish man was found watching the girls sleep and eating our food it was reported to the property and they did nothing we’ll never stay at this property again ##### Taylor Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jacqueline Sep 11, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### 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! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B0FEBC0A859AC18FC63881474049C0C258CFE7211599840238910.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/DC5C48BECC9B23A2FFD95CD969D0064215A03E451599840243721.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/FEB9E810859C8CFC53C7F65FCD5D4CAAFA7195221599840242811.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/C966307CFA45080EBAAFBE28C762B4EB3CD8F7C11599840246077.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Jacqueline Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### ROBERT May 18, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### Fun ##### ROBERT Stayed 2 nights in May 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 14, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Nov 27, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Chasity Oct 15, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Chasity Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ricky Jul 28, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort ##### Ricky Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2020
