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.

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.

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.
