Hey there,
Salary payment is fair. I will say that. However your experience living there day to day is not. The main issue is the management, particularly the foreign teacher liaison and other administrative figures working in for the Foreign Languages department. This is also true of Business, and Tourism departments as we had friends teaching in those as well. The administration sees foreign guests and employees as more of an inconvenience than welcome members of the faculty. We were belittled, blatantly ignored, and treated like an all around nuisance regularly. Many of us were brought to tears by the rude way people treated us at the college, and honestly didn't have a much better experience with the community as a whole. There seems to be a very strong "outsiders are NOT welcome" vibe here. Even some of our students coming from the mainland said the same thing. They never felt welcome here and couldn't wait to leave. If I were doing it all over again, regardless of pay of tropical environment I would NOT TEACH HERE.
