    We were extremely disappointed with this "Resort." It is entirely not worth the money. While the room was clean, the staff was uninterested, unhelpful, and unapproachable. They play loud obnoxious music (popular American music) starting from 8am to 10pm-there is no quiet, tranquil place on the grounds. This was not what we thought a resort would be and spent our time away from the grounds as much as we could. Save your money and stay at a real hostel!
