Staff courtesy was excellent the room was due refurbishment after we left. Shuttle was frequent to other resorts and shops. One concern is that you are not allowed in the palace

Everything was very good. the staff were attentive and catered for your every need. The hotel has a good selection of restaurants and of course there is the casino. There is also a nice pool with a bar and a food oulet. The only gripe I did have was that the hot water was seldem more than tepid. I reported this on occassions but to no avail. A short walk away is a shopping mall with more eateries and shopping.

The staff were exceptional. I arrived in Johannesburg at 0400hrs. Arrived at the Hotel at 0800hrs. The manager was brilliant in allowing a very early check in by 0830 hours. Normal check in time is 1400hrs. We really appreciated the early check in as we had been travelling all day. Breakfast was absolutely brilliant.

We felt we didn’t know where things were. When we asked for a map at reception they didn’t have one. Generally, more information was required in the room so that guests can make the most of their stay.
Daily cleaning services were excellent.
Minor maintenance issues - toilet seat loose and sliding sideways and electric PowerPoint came out of wall when removing phone charger plug and created potential safety issue.

We stayed at the Sun City Casino Hotel in late August (still winter in South Africa) On 2 days we had temperature in the 30 degrees, 2 days had temperatures in the mid 20s and one where the temperature was high teens. You were allowed to use the pools at the adjacent hotels as well as the waterpark but not the Palace hotel. All the pools were not heated * including the Lazy river at the Valley of the waves so make sure you go there on a hot day. *Apart from a tiny part of the pool in Cascades which was warm! The Casino was a central location and was the centre of the night life for the area (Particularly at the weekends when there was a nightclub on site) During our stay there was some renovation work being carried out on the property but we were given an upgrade to a quieter room, which was good of them. The overall service was really good and breakfast was extensive with anything you would wish for on a buffet-style basis. We did use the Casino on one night and had to get a card to use it but, it was free and didn't take long you just needed a passport for identification. The hotel was quite quiet during the week but livened up at weekends. On site were a number of reasonably priced restaurants, Legends was our favourite as it had live music and you could have a dance too. The Maze is worth a visit and there are lots of activities to do from the hotel. We did a game drive, an escape room and a segway tour to the crocodile pit. All these activities were excellent.

Worst experience at exorbitant prices. Rooms unmaintained, leakages everywhere including damp carpet, bathroom leaks between floors, had all my toiletries makeup and a Chanel bag destroyed by a leakage and was relocated to another property and room less for an entire day and night. The wheat part was no one could help or knew what they were doing. I am in utter shock.

The entire hotel requires a face lift. Lack of staff as well. When trying to get issues sorted at reception and ordering food and drinks by the pool.
We got loved 3 times for our room.
1st room has Ants in it, 2nd room was an accessibility room. And we finally got issued a room that was suitable.
