The entire holiday was an unforgettable first class experience from arrival to checkout. We stayed for 9 nights as a family holiday. Facilities and food were all excellent.

I had stayed in the Palace Hotel 8 years ago and it was fantastic. This trip was a little disappointing because the standards have dropped somewhat. The tents at the pool were torn, one had a missing roof, some fountains and waterfalls did not work. Tlsime ponds were green with algae and water stank in places. The jungle between the palace and valley of waves was messy. However people were very friendly and well trained, breakfast buffet must be one of the best in the world. The palace is a remarkable and unique building, just a pity that standards have slipped a bit. Having said that i would go back again in the future.

Sun City is nestled in an absolutely beautiful area and truly offers a luxurious escape. We stayed at The Palace which we were really looking forward to. The resort itself offers plenty to do and see, or just relax by the pool, at very affordable prices. The negatives is that our bedding and the linen used in the main restaurant had stains on them each of the days we were there. The Palace itself needs touching up as paint is peeling and umbrellas and such have holes in them. Lastly, the staff kept coming into our room multiple times throughout the day for reasons we couldn't quite figure out. Sometimes it was to clean our room, other times to ask if our room has been cleaned, and a few times a staff member walked in, saw us there and simply walked out. We would definitely visit again but there is definitely room for imporovement.

We came yo the palace at the end of our holiday around South Africa. This is a huge property and it has alot for families to do and enjoy. The problem is to figure out how to get to things and book activities you need an app. This app is not available for the Australian Apple and Google stores so we couldn’t download it and there is just an expectation that that’s what you will do, so there is no information available anywhere in your room, the foyer, internal tv system for you to learn as a guest. It took us a couple of days to figure this out. The food at the palace - breakfast, pool side and weekend buffets is very good but expensive by South African standards. Also if you have a child under 9 you can’t eat at any of the restaurants in the Palace - which is a bit rude noting it’s a family hotel. You have to catch a bus (which is free and regular) to the shopping centre and eat in a food court or go to another one of the hotels. I object to doing that when I am paying over $400 a night! The options in the food court aren’t healthy and we got food poisoning at the Greek restaurant- which has no Greek food on the menu besides a Greek salad which isn’t a Greek salad. That was honestly one of the worst meals I have ever had. Also be aware that you share all the facilities like valley of the waves etc with all the other hotels and time shares on the property and day visitors to the property. It has a lot of potential but needs a major revamp as rooms etc are tired.
