Pros:

Lovely apartments, well proportioned. Superb location.

Cons:

Separate WiFi network IDs for each room is awesome, but passwords need to be random for each room. Any guest can trivially guess the password for any other room right now. Bad cyber hygiene, but easily fixed

Amazing!!!
Pros:

We had an amazing stay at Salt Lodge Troon. The location is perfect, with stunning views and easy access to the beach and local attractions. The lodge was beautifully presented, spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing break.
The staff were friendly, welcoming and couldn't have been more helpful. The attention to detail throughout the accommodation really stood out and the peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect place to unwind.
We would highly recommend Salt Lodge Troon to anyone looking for a relaxing coastal getaway. We had an amazing experience from start to finish and we'll definitely be back!

A lovely, modern well-appointed and cool haven on our long journey, we will return.
Pros:

Warm, welcoming staff. Modern high-quality decor and fittings, very clean. Excellent bed and fabulous shower. Stayed during the hot weather and kept cool with windows ajar and a fan in the room. We were in a ground floor room with our dog and made our own food, there is a convenient dog-shower if they’re sandy from the local beach.
Great indie pizza five minutes walk.

Cons:

Neither of these aspects bothered us, the separately run on-site restaurant does not permit dogs; our view was of the yacht harbour and to the side a boatyard.
