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

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

The view was lovely hotel needs a little TLC .
The sofas in the bedrooms are really old they sink so far back my Mum could not get out of it without my help .
Seating in the main areas are very low for old people .
The food in the restaurant was good but the food at Haven was really good .
Also the spa treatments at Haven hotel were really fabulous Ana did an amazing massage.
Our room was a long long way from the lift my Mum is 92 a long way to walk we were after my asking shown another room but it was not as nice as the room we had .

The hotel is right on the beach. We had a fantastic view of the sea from our room. Our room had everything we needed, although a little dusty in places. All in all a great stay.

We had an amazing time, really enjoyed the breakfast with the sea view especially. I think what marred an otherwise perfect stay was when we were served burnt pizza on the beach, that put a dent in the experience for us.

Room was fine, we upgraded and there was some staining on bathroom foor but otherwise ok. The first room and balcony was a little tired also. The Amalfi Restaurant was not good, 2 night stay and issues on both nights, long wait to take order not only us but another couple had to ask for someone to take the order. First dinner came without potatoes so had to go back, second night had tagliatelle bolognaise. The pasta was bland and tasted of pan water, no salt used in cooking understand if they have to watch salt use but please and some olive oil or butter or something. Biggest criticism though was I wanted garlic bread with mine and had to buy a £7 garlic bread which turned out to be a pizza size 8 slice bread of which I left 5 slices, please do individual portions. The breakfast restaurant at Sandbanks Hotel was fab lots of choice and cooked perfectly.
