However, the lack of a proper kitchen in our bungalow and inconsistent service were notable drawbacks. While the on-site dining options were somewhat hit or miss, I found a few nice moments that made the experience worthwhile.

The resort has plenty of activities for families, such as kayaking and mini golf, and the pool area was enjoyable. However, I was disappointed by the lack of housekeeping service unless arranged in advance, which felt very inconvenient.
