With the beach on one side and harbour on the other, this was a picturesque location. A fairly quiet area which was good. My room was a bit of a route march from the entrance but staff were great and i enjoyed my stay.

The hitel is in a great location and we had a great room (booked famiky room as last one wuth beach view) Breakfast was good and staff helpful. Few things let it down, the indoor pool area is really poor. It says to have shower before entering but showers falling apart and next to useless. Staff were on their phones and one was laid on sunbed?! Reception staff said bar food availalbe when wr arrived but only choice was pizza and nothing else available

Amazing stay, wonderful location
Really welcoming and helpful staff from reception through to cleaners through to bar, our suite was offered to us an hour early and the views, as promised, were excellent, as was the suite with an amazing view as promised. Italian restaurant - great food and friendly service. Our only gripe were the pillows, you had three but all were roughly the width of a pitta bread, very difficult to sleep and as we were in the top level room, you'd expect better quality. But that's the only thing.

The beach is absolutely gorgeous. Sitting having a drink on the back verandah was amazing. The outside shower needs fixing, it just sprays right up high into the air. The layout of the hotel was counter intuitive. Had a really kind receptionist help me order an uber. So grateful to her. :)

Had a lovely stay. Room looking over the harbour was lovely and big but no air conditioning so needed balcony door open all night. Bathroom clean and big but unfortunately only a very mediocre shower in a bath with a curtain which was clingy. Bed lovely and big and comfortable. View lovely. Walk to troon was quite difficult for my partner who uses a stick, but i suppose should have mentioned it. Lovely being right on the beach, sand and sea were just lovely. Bar prices for lunch and drinks were very expensive as was everything around the area, which we were expecting. The staff were all young and very helpful and polite. We didn’t use the restaurant so can’t say but breakfast was good. The whole hotel building itself did have a very tired feel about it, lots of things needed juzzshing up, but on the whole a very enjoyable stay.

We were disappointed that the hotel wasn’t of the quality we were expecting for the money we had paid for 3 nights bed and breakfast. The room was clean but the bathroom very dated . The breakfast adequate but no info to tell guests that eggs and pancakes could be cooked to request. The only restaurant at the hotel was Italian , we did book for dinner one evening at The Haven ( sister hotel) but the moules weren’t hot, were replaced with less sauce and not charged for , but it spoilt our meal.

Nice hotel right by the sea although it could use some renovation. At the moment of check in we were told that the spa is closed for the duration of our stay (2 days) for maintenance. Although we were told we could use spa facility in a sister hotel, which was some 5 mins car drive it was disappointing we were not informed of this in advance via email or telephone perhaps so we could plan our stay better. We were looking forward to use spa facilities particularly and booked our stay specifically at this hotel for that and even though I explained this to the male receptionist the hotel didn’t offer anything to compensate us in that regard which was disappointing
