2 nights at the Palace
Had a brilliant stay at the Palace. The breakfast was excellent so much choice and Robert playing the piano was lovely, he is so talented and friendly, he played a few notes of my husbands favourite song when requested. Service was top notch. Would stay longer next time.

This resort really had it all! It’s beautiful and spacious. The staff are very friendly. There are so many options for dining all day long as well as activities and relaxation. We visited during winter which is off peak season. I expect if you go during the high tourist season it will be so busy

The property was beautiful and breakfast was amazing. The front desk staff was so helpful and went above and beyond. If you are in any kind of hurry dining not the place to be. We ordered hot chocolate even from room service. After an hour still never received.

My family and I stayed at this resort last week and we were absolutely blown away by the experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly helpful and genuinely friendly, always greeting us with a smile and going out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of.
The property itself was breathtaking, beautifully maintained grounds, stunning views, and peaceful surroundings that made it easy to relax and unwind. Whether taking a walk trough its trails or enjoying the sunset, every corner of the resort felt like a slice of paradise.
I truly can’t say enough good things about this place. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable and serene getaway!

Pros: bed and pillows are comfortable; has free shuttle around sun city; luxurious and picturesque in every corner; you will receive 5 star treatment from all the staff. Valley of the waves are good for kids. Housekeeping are awesome! They cleaned a lot!
Cons: No free game drives; no airport transport from johannesberg; meals on buffet are repetitive

Very special hotel and facilities with only the offhand staff letting it down.
Best breakfast choice I’ve ever had, beautiful spacious room, absolutely stunning architecture and grounds. Very safe feeling. The added bonus of the entertainment facilities of Sun City.
Overall very impressed with the hotel, food and facilities but offhand staff bring the rating down to Good

The hotel setting was spectacular, and the service was exceptional. Our room was exceptionally quiet. Just exploring the hotel grounds was a mini-adventure!
The only area for improvement was in a few of the meals (steak over-cooked, service occasionally slow at Tusk's bar).
