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.

I had a mixed experience at the resort. It has a beautiful setting with stunning sea views and a range of activities available, but the cleanliness and maintenance of the rooms left much to be desired. The beach is not truly private and was littered, making it less enjoyable for my family. Despite these issues, it did offer an adventurous getaway with a nice pool to unwind in after a day of exploring.

The rooms are somewhat clean, but there were issues with water quality and management responsiveness that need addressing. Additionally, while the dining choices are available, I found them to be overpriced, which detracts from the overall value.
