Family atmosphere, great family vacation spot, lots to do, absolutely loved it- will be going back soon!
My husband usually travels by himself but this time was one of those rare occasions that I decided to pack up the entire family and tag along because it was just a weekend thing. We didn't plan on this being a big fun-filled vacation, but it very well turned out that way. We stayed in the Presidential Suite, aka the Lincoln Suite. It was very nice; 2 bedrooms with full-sized beds & 2 side rooms, "lofts" (which our kids really got a kick out of), dining, living, Jacuzzi tub, walk-in closet, etc. The lofts each had a twin bed, tv, microwave, fridge, etc. (everything the big rooms had). Our kids were thrilled that they each got their own room & everything else that goes in it. My biggest thrill was the Jacuzzi tub in our bathroom- My husband & I used it every night! I also loved the fact that I could sit down & eat with my family at the dinner table in our room, snuggle up with my hubby on the couch, or just hang out with my kids and the 3 dogs in our big suite- it was comfortable &n VERY spacious. The kids swam themselves into a coma every day that we were there (I didn't mind) & they also got a kick out of the parrots, too. For lunch we used the BBQ pit by the pool & ate out on the pool patio. I found our stay to be convenient due to the fact that they have a laundry mat, vending machines, & a big fully-stocked kitchen. Every evening (after my kids FINALLY got out the pool) & my husband arrived from work, we would make dinner together in the kitchen & then we would all sit down together in the dining room & eat. After dinner we had "family time" with the kids; we played at the gaming center (it's a game table with an armoire that has many different board games, cards, poker, Uno, jenga, Yahtzee, etc.). And, our last night there we all watched a movie on the big screen tv in the lounge. LeMatidora Inn is definitely a family vacation spot. I was blown away by how friendly everyone was and how nice everything was. If you have kids & are taking them to the Buras/Port Sulphur area, I highly recommend staying there. My entire family had a blast & my kids didn't get bored one time. I haven't stayed anywhere else in that area but I can't imagine it getting any better than that. I believe in this place so much. I already got the first phone call from a relative (that I informed about this place) thanking me so much for recommending it. It makes me feel good to know that my experiences help you guys, good or bad. *** TIP: on here it says 30482 Highway 11, Buras, LA 70041 but it's WRONG. The correct address is 30482 Highway 11, Port Sulphur, LA 70083. I know because I had to call the front desk on the way there several times because for some reason the GPS took us over the bridge. read more
