My husband and I travelled with another couple as a celebration of our friend's 65th birthday. We stayed 2 nights at The Palace of the Lost City and it was a huge disappointment. I have never spent so much money on accommodation so expected it to be something else. Boy, was I disappointed. Yes, it is opulent but gaudy and... More

The drive-up is stunning, and promises a wonderful experience. Sun City Palace Hotel delivers. From the moment you arrive you realize you are inside an extraordinary hotel and you receive exceptional service. Linda, a friendly customer service representative was assigned to us and she lead us around the hotel showing us all of the facilities and helped facilitate our registration... More

I have stayed here perhaps a dozen times, it really is a spectacular building and has the wow factor ! The management is very varied, I have been overcharged on my bill and undercharged.The food is not international standard by any means but adequate. Service is very variable and staff strikes have been known in the past, where everything and... More

This place is big. Stayed for 4 days. Pool area is very nice. The rooms are very spacious with big bathrooms. Food was ok. Lots of green outdoor areas for walking around. Service was good and hotel is very clean. BUt a bit pricy.

If one has the good fortune to make a stopover in Sun City, then for sheer over the top indulgence you cannot do any better than organise a stay at the Palace in The Lost City. There is nothing subtle about the hotel but if you are seeking a level of service combined with quality in Accomodation , food and... More

We had the absoloute pleasure of spending two nights at The Palace of the Lost City at the end of April . The Hotel is opulent with beautifully maintained gardens and pool areas . Rooms are large and possibly bathrooms seem a little dated but this may be the look the creators went for. Service is outstanding , from the... More

I too had a expected more from this resort, we found it at first a long distance from the airport and in the middle of no where. We had cash stolen from our room, found the staff when we left a tip nearly fought over it! Found it intimidating. Roms were dated, no towel were supplied for the watermark ans... More

Maybe we were lucky, but we got upgraded for no reason we knew, and our rooms were spectacular. This place is gorgeous. We had only a brief stay but there is tons to do on the resort and nearby. The safari in the Pilanesberg Nat'l Park was awesome. Golf with baboons, interesting. The service was more than wonderful. I'd return... More

what a place - right from the get go when you walk in to the hotel you get a Kings Welcome. The architecture, the location, the restaurants, the food, the swimming pool, the amenities, everything is King size - and Royal. The breakfast spread is one of the best that we have had so far. All the staff treat you... More
