Overall, it offered good value for the money, but I did face some challenges during my stay.

Seagulls Resort offers a mixed experience, featuring clean and comfortable rooms along with friendly staff. The location allows for nice walks along the coastal path, but the dining options, particularly breakfast, left something to be desired. Overall, it's decent for a short stay but may not meet the needs for a longer vacation.
