Pros and cons

PROS- Location is great! Right in front of the pool and the beach. Grill and big green space just steps away. The condominium is quiet, clean and organized. Kitchen has everything you need. Laundry unit is right in front of the condo which is super convenient. The kitchen and bathrooms were pretty clean. CONS- The condo floors were really dirty. My kids feet and knees were black. We found an empty juice bottle under our bed. We had to buy a mop and mop all the floors. The furniture is old so inside the drawers has a strong old wood smell. Overall I would recommend it. If you can get past the dirty floors and the drawers smell, you will have a great time there. The location is amazing and staff is friendly. Pretty good.

Perfect location

We loved this unit on the ground floor of Building 3 at El Matador. The pool was steps away and the grill was so convenient. Overall we were happy in 316 and hope to rent here again in the future.
