Top El Matador State Beach Hotel Reviews

Incredible white water ocean view

Incredible white water ocean view

8/10 Good
"View is amazing, comfortable bed and accommodations. What was disappointing was no where did it state the front door was up a flight of stairs and the "private pool and spa" was down the stairs and around the corner to the backyard of the other home on the property with all their windows facing the pool. In my opinion that is not private, it is a shared pool and spa. The picture eludes that is is on the back door of the rental and close by. Really a bummer and I believe the listing was intentionally deceptive. I would not have booked it had it been disclosed properly. I am almost 70 years old, so not a fan of dragging luggage upstairs or walking upstairs after going into a spa with wet feet. So, we didn't use the pool or spa."

Malibu Living At Its Finest - Just Steps Away From The Beach

10/10 Excellent
"Had the best trip for my husband’s 40th! It was our first time to Malibu and this house was perfect for our getaway with two other couples. The view was amazing and so nice to wake up to. Lechuza Beach wasn’t accessible the time we were there, but Broad Beach was about a 13 minute walk and it’s a beautiful beach! The next day, we drove so we could bring more beach items and that was super easy. Kitchen was well stocked and we were able to grill and cook easily. Host was on top of it with communication."
