It is only maybe a 5-10 foot drop but the pools are shallow and you have to flip your legs over the edge and jump. You could probably get hurt. We rarely saw anyone the whole time. There was only 6 out of 36 rooms occupied so we almost always were the only ones on the beach, at the restaurants, at the pools. The only time we saw more than 2 people was the night with the Balinese dancers. There were about 50 performers (dancers and musicians) and about 10 guest.
