Overall the hotel is okay. The housekeeping came twice a day to do up the room, once in the morning and once in the evening. I complained about the mulfunctioning electrical socket and they came quickly to assess the problem. As they ran out of spares, they came with an acceptable alternative. The free wifi from the hotel is 30mins... More

Spent 4 days and 3 nights in the Sun City Hotel with a family of 4 (2 kids aged 9 and 12). Room facilities were fine with the kids sleeping on a sleeper couch although we had it replaced with 2 single bed mattresses. The room had a bath and shower with a bar fridge and air-condition unit (a definite... More

At £140 per night, I do not think this hotel is good value for money. We stayed in 2 family rooms which consist of a double bed and a sleeper sofa each. The rooms are nicely furnished and spotless. The bathroom was also very nice with a great free standing bath. Breakfast was very good and served outdoors. Now, service.... More

Fortunately no one was murdered or injured but we were robbed at the Sun City vacation club whilst we were in our unit and our phones, camera’s and wallets were stolen from us. After reporting it to the GM at the vacation club who promised us that they would sort the matter out and claim it from their insurance, this... More

We usually stay at the Cabanas Hotel but we were offered this upgrade. Our big thing at the Cabanas is sitting outside and watching the world go by and the boats etc. so we were a bit disappointed to find there was no outside space in our allocated room at Sun City and that all the balcony rooms were "full"....

We had a great family holiday, the rooms where ok and the staff did their best to make our stay enjoyable. The kids events are brilliant and the facilities do accomodate children. There is no facility for prams, only one elevator in the entertainment area, so this needs to be looked at. The waterworld activities are very overpriced, certainly for... More

From the staff at the entrance to the complex, porters, receptionists and restaurant staff - the service and friendliness is top class. The buffet supper and breakfast on the terrace - to die for. Stunning room and view. My husband says this is the best golf course in SA. To top it all - the casino pays!!!! What an awesome... More

The whole Sun City idea is in my opinion really good. To have different kind of hotels (more expensive and cheaper ones), casinos, many many leisure facilities and to be so close to a game reserve. It looks like the perfect get away for everyone. Unfortunately it it is badly maintained. Hotel: I had a towel with holes all over... More

The accomodations were fine, rooms were clean and a decent size. The hotel grounds were beautiful and the common areas of the hotel were nice. The food was average but having said that we went for dinner at the Palace and that was nothing special either. Compared in price to the Palace I would say you get what you pay... More
