Great stay will definitely come back. Loved being back in our home town.
Pros:

Food was great, breakfast was excellent, loved the haggis

Cons:

The only negative was there was no blind in the bathroom and as our room faced onto the main road. It felt like we were highlighted at night 😬

Disappointing. Won’t be back.
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

Very dated hotel. Room was tired, with old furniture, cracks on the walls, mould in the bathroom. Windows broken and didn’t close properly, therefore draughty. Outer bedcover dirty including numerous hairs. Awful shower that repeatedly went from scalding hot to freezing cold.

Pros:

The staff were absolutely lovely from reception to food service . The sea view was beautiful we really enjoyed the comfy chairs by the window watching planes and the world go by . And the bathroom was so spacious. Loved our stay

Cons:

If I was to be picky it would’ve been the duvet. It was too heavy . We like light weight and cool

Awful Experience
Cons:

Where do i start. Check in fine, staff member pleasant, went to my room to be met with an awful smell and on looking outside the window which was open there are extractors presumably from the kitchen. Went out to a family wedding, but had stayed here due to other hotel being full. Returned about 11pm, collected key and when starting to walk to stairs was told mind your feet as i had to step over vomit on the carpet. Came back down to bar for a drink, barman, possibly night porter was blowing threw the beer tap nozzles then pouring a pint which i thought disgusting! On way back to room vomit was still there which was an hour later with some blue roll over it. Breakfast seemed pretty decent the next morning until i found a hair, (not mine). Wouldn't return here if it was free!

Awful experience
Pros:

Stayed here for one night while attending a family wedding at another local hotel which had no rooms left. Checked I.and headed to room to be met with an awful smell, presumably due to extractors from kitchen being outside window. Went out and returned about 11pm to be met with a staff member saying watch your feet as I had to step over vomit on route to my room. This was still there an hour later covered partly with blue roll. Then headed to the bar for a beer to watch the barman, possibly night porter blowing through the beer nossle then ports pint, disgusting!
Breakfast the next morning seemed pretty decent until a found a hair while eating toast, (not mine)
Received a 10% discount code after checking out but wouldn’t stay here again if it was free. Awful experience

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?
