Trump Turnberry

This was our first time staying at this hotel, and it certainly won’t be our last! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Jim, who made us feel incredibly welcome. He was absolutely wonderful—extremely helpful and thoughtful. As someone who uses a wheelchair, I truly appreciated how Jim went above and beyond. He took care of our luggage, escorted us inside, and even parked our car for us. His kindness and attentiveness made all the difference, and he’s truly an asset to your team. The room and bathroom were beautiful—clean, spacious, and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a more relaxing and pleasant stay. Every member of the staff we interacted with was friendly, professional, and eager to help, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Breakfast the next morning was delicious, with a great variety of options that catered to all tastes. It was a perfect start to the day. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and are already looking forward to our next visit. Thank you to everyone at the hotel for making our stay so memorable!

Our third time at this hotel, but our first time with our 2 dogs. The level of staff service is 2nd to none and so dog friendly. From the minute we were greeted at the door to when we left, we were made to feel that nothing was too much trouble, and the upgrade to a junior suite was just the icing on the cake.

The standards are slipping , no courtesy car service, the service in the bars appalling and the party night food dreadful . They always encourage you to use your Trump Privilege card and promise you the points going towards your account which you constantly need to push for , last year it took a full month to rectify this is the second year this has happened and I’m still trying to get this resolved despite our visit being on the 07/12/2024 , the communication , feedback and ownership are appalling . It just seems the quality service and poor communication is dragging this hotel down to a 4 star hotel, it has lost its magic . An overall poor performance from Trump Turnbury.

We were staying in a 6 bed villa for two nights. Check-in was swift, efficient and very helpful. Pre arrival communication was excellent. After an excellent spa treatment we went for afternoon tea. We were ushered to 1906 where a table was set up for us (nice touch). On asking for our names, the staff member took an internal call and the four of us are standing there like total plums for a couple of minutes until he finishes the call. The correct course of action is to take us to the table then deal with any calls. Trip to the pool the next day was great apart from people filming on their mobiles. I don’t fancy appearing on a random Tik Tok or whatever they were doing, nor does my teenage daughter. Why are mobiles even allowed poolside? Be prepared for guests filming or talking loudly (on speaker) as you try to relax. We had a lovely meal in our villa, then called for transport to the hotel just before 9pm, whilst others in our party decided to walk up. (Note you can have food sent to the villas, and the menu looked good). We were told the service was busy shuttling guests from the clubhouse, fair enough, however we sat for 30 mins, phoned back, and a “no Operator available” message popped up. We gave up and walked, informing reception when we finally arrived they could cancel our transport, which was obviously not coming anytime soon. We would have appreciated a call back to tell us to hang tight or that there were further significant delays. We could see the shuttle bus parked up at the clubhouse as we walked up to the hotel, waiting on guests who were taking their time in coming out. We ordered our drinks, then waited a further 20 mins to receive them, as apparently the bar was short staffed. We finally got to enjoy our after dinner drinks, served in the nice lounge area, an HOUR after calling for transport. Breakfasts are very good, and overall the staff were super friendly. The customer service in some areas needs work.

I was taken here as a surprise for my birthday at the beginning of December. I had always wanted to go but never got round to it. From the second you arrive you know that you are going to be well looked after. The building is so impressive and the drive up to the hotel is an experience on its own. The ground and facilities are immaculate, everything you would expect for a 5 star resort. Parking was super easy and the check in experience was on point, everything single member of staff we encountered was an absolute credit to the place. I have stayed in many 4 and 5 star hotels across the world as part of my job and it’s the staff that make it a truly magical experience. We were helped to our room by one of the door men, shown the room and features and made sure we were happy with the room. The rooms were immaculate, so clean and tastefully decorated with all the necessary items on what to see and do during your stay. Large TV, mini bar, kettle, iron, large closet, safe, toiletries etc all provided. Information of restaurants and spa opening times were out of date on the TV, but the website is up to date all small glitch that has probably just been overlooked. Bed was super comfy. Loads of information on the activity’s available which is second to none on my next visit I will be making use of these especially the clay shooting and archery. The spa was fantastic, plenty of things to do and plenty of space for all guests, even loved the little touches of being able to order pool snacks and drinks. (Hot tub wasn’t working during our stay but again not a huge disappointment , could have done with some signage) the relaxation room and aromatherapy shower was unreal. On our way back to the room in the evening our room was turned down for the evening which was a beautiful touch, little touches by the house keeping team such as wrapping the charging cables in trump branded cable ties, the glasses sat on the bedside tables, blinds drawn and bathroom set up were just delightful. Went for dinner at Duel in the Sun as the menu suited us better than the 1906 restaurant. The staff and the food were absolutely phenomenal, the little touches on the table such as our name and the birthday wishes were just such a personal touch. ( should keep the restaurant open till 7pm at the duel just for guests who want a less formal dining experience) we were taken back to the main hotel and had a few drinks in the lobby which was again just perfect with the staff being super attentive and present. Made our way back to the spa until 9.30pm before heading back to the room. Had a wonderful nights sleep so peaceful. Breakfast was perfect a little confusing around the prices so wasn’t sure it was included and thought that we had to order off the menu however spoke to one of the waitress's who explained we could order what ever we want to suit our taste and dietary requirement. The breakfast was OUTSTANDING the quality of the items you could tell that it was only the best and locally sourced ingredients. The service from your colleagues was again exceptional and the breakfast manager always checked everything was ok and spoke with all guests during their breakfast a lovely personal touch. I can honestly say we were both completely blown away by the level of service all of your team gave both os us and our stay was just exceptional. We have booked to visit two more times in the next few months that’s how impressed we were. Worth every single penny and more. I have not stopped raving about it to friends and family. If anyone is looking to really spoil a loved one or just as a little treat getaway this really is the place to go you will not be disappointed. Thank you all at Turnberry for a fantastic stay and we look forward to staying with you again very soon.
