Balanced stay with some issues

breakfast spreadhumble personsports essentialstv issueroom keyac problem
The breakfast at Seagull was lovely. The spread included many fresh and delicious options. Mr Elumalai provided good service during breakfast, he was very humble and caring. I received sports essentials for Kids, that was really helpful for family time on the beach.
The television in my room wasn't functioning well, requiring close proximity for the remote. The room key wasn't working consistently, I had to request corrections twice. The ac stopped working for about five hours, it took a while for it to be fixed.
