The resort offers a peaceful getaway with a nice beach view and decent facilities, but there are significant issues to consider. The rooms need a serious upgrade as they appear old and unclean, making for a less than pleasant stay. While the staff is welcoming, communication can be challenging due to language barriers. Overall, if you're looking for a quiet and inexpensive place to spend time with children, this might work, but manage your expectations regarding cleanliness and amenities.
