Comfy, relaxing and amazing views
Pros:

Room was lovely and very spacious with great views. If I had to mention anything it would be that it was slightly tired. It could do with some touch ups but to be honest it didn't affect out stay, we had a great night and the beds were very comfortable.

Cons:

Breakfast could have been a bit nicer. Service was really good but the eggs and sausages were not the best, Selection of fruit and cereal had almost gone by the time we got there at 8:30am. Mugs were stained and generally, again, just a bit tired looking.

Great family gathering made by the friendly and helpful staff
Pros:

We booked 9 rooms at the South Beach Hotel for a family gathering. The hotel was very welcoming and looked after us all very well. We ranged from 8 months to 98 years old. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was great and accommodated our requests. The main areas were busy, however provided opportunities for our family to meet and chat. The rooms are tired and understand they will be updated soon, they do need it. It was good value for Troon.

Wi-Fi was non-existent
Pros:

Hotel was fine, staff were great and lovely breakfast. Unfortunately, the wi-fi did not operate in my bedroom, which was really disappointing.
Apparently, the poor wi-fi is well known issue (although M tried to blame the weather 😉😂). Maybe a minor investment in wi-fi extenders to the furthest rooms may be a cheap solution?

Overnight in Troon
Pros:

Cracking breakfast, and one of the best black puddings I have tasted. Minutes from train station.

Cons:

Our room was the main disappointment. Not very warm. Neither windows would close properly, with one closed by means of a wedged piece of cardboard jammed in the handle and masking tape along the frame.

Decent hotel, great staff but the building needs modernising and bringing upto date (in my opinion).
Pros:

There are not many options in this part of Scotland and had to stay where there was room. The hotel is golf themed (of course) and was a bit tired and dated and in need of a wholesale refurb. However - my room was great and very spacious and warm!

Cons:

It was a bit dated and tired (as stated previously), but I enjoyed my overnight stay. Its a bit of a walk into the town centre and if you are not good on your feet it might be a walk too far.

Wonderful Place to Stay
Pros:

We recently stayed at the South Beach Hotel for a weekend as part of a large group of friends. Everything about the hotel was outstanding, from checking in to checking out. All the staff - from bar, restaurant, reception, and housekeeping, were so friendly and helpful. The room was large and very comfortable. We ate breakfast and dinner in the restaurant, lunch in the bar, and also had a group dinner in one of the function rooms, and on every occasion the food was outstanding - the chefs here are second to none. The bar is a friendly inviting place with a huge selection of drinks at very reasonable prices (a hotel bar charging pub prices - very rare). We will definitely be staying here again, and cannot recommend it highly enough, absolutely outstanding.

Best Seaside Hotel
Pros:

On Mothers Day i treated my mum and also took my dog for a overnight to The Southbeach hotel in Troon.
We had a fab time
and had a lovely Seaview room
Which had a double and single bed which were very comfy.
The hotel is nice and is spotless and the breakfast was good
And the staff are very friendly and helpful and totally fussed over my dog.
We will certainly be back
And i highly reccomend the hotel.

A absolute gem
Pros:

What a gem of a place. Organised a friends gathering here and Stewart could not have been more helpful. Start to finish planning was smooth. The weekend event was well received by all our friends. The food is fantastic and a huge thank you for our dinner goes to the chefs, Johnny and staff.
We personally had a super room with views over the sea. Only issue was the stairs as these rooms are up the top. No lift so prepare for them. Mind no pain no gain and view worth it.
All staff very helpful and friendly ensuring a great atmosphere. Thanks again for giving us a great weekend. 👍

Would I go back to stay at the hotel? Yes, definitely.
Pros:

Location is excellent. 10 minute walk from town centre and 5 minute walk to the beach. The property is well maintained generally. My room was super although the TV didn’t work. The staff were all very friendly and professional. The young man serving breakfast was fantastic!!

Cons:

The en-suite bathroom needs to be modernised as there was mold around the base of the shower and the water didn’t drain very well at all.
