“Good enough”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 February 2012
2
people found this review helpful

On arrival at the Cabanas, there was only one receptionist for check in - we were a group of over 15 and the check-in process was frustrating. The very helpful and friendly porter (Philip) made up for the disappointment. On a previous stay, I stayed in a garden facing room on the ground floor with shower and bath. I was very disappointed when I arrived at my (very small) room on the second floor with a view of the parking area and only a shower. Admittedly, the shower was spacious, but I had no hot water on the second morning. The room safe did not work and I had to lock my computer in my suitcase in the cupboard. Tea and coffee were provided, but no sweetener - only sugar. The bed was comfortable and I would not have survived the crampiness and humidity if it wasn't for the aircon.
Dinner was a buffet and offered a wide variety to suit everyone's tastes.
Breakfast consisted of a variety of fresh fruit, cheeses, pastries, good coffee and the usual egg, mushroom, bacon, sausage etc. The service in the restaurant was good.
Check out was a huge improvement (still only 1 staff member, but at least there was not que of being waiting to check out).
Overall Sun City experience was good - however, the Sun City experience is always an expensive one.

Room Tip: Ask for a room with a view of the gardens or lake, not the parking area.

“Very nice stay, just very expensive”

Our family of three (my wife and I and 18 month old toddler) stayed at the Sun City Cabanas from 10 to 12 February 2012. We enjoyed our stay, especially the number of things to do at the Sun City resort. The resort is beautiful and well maintained.

A few comments about our stay:

- Breakfast was good, nice variety. Breakfast staff, however, was not very friendly.
- Room was a bit small and overpriced. My wife also picked up some spots in the room that were not cleaned properly.
- Transport between hotel and entertainment centre was very good, even though we chose to walk to the entertainment centre most of the time.
- Lunch and dinner options were plentiful. The entertainment centre had the usual fast food outlets and there were also a number of restaurants available at the various hotels in the resort.
- As already mentioned, there are many recreation activities available, e.g. Valley of the Waves, jetski, quad biking, activities for children etc.
- Very good babysitting/ creché facilities available at the main entertainment centre

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. It is just a pity that the room was priced at R2 215 per night, which would put it out of reach of most ordinary South Africans. We also booked the least expensive of all the rooms available at the Sun City resort, which further highlights the high cost of accommodation at Sun City.

“Great value for short break”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

We stayed here for 3 nights as part of a 10 day trip to South Africa. We had a 5 & 3 year old at the time and the children's facilities were really very good both in and outside the hotel. The evening food was ok but breakfast much better though there were wasps on everything! The kids loved the balloon modelling clown, a nice touch. The rooms were nothing special but clean, comfortable and absolutely fine if you're not spending hours in there! We only used the valley of the waves out of all the facilities and thought this was spectacular! Good fun, lots to do, excellent facilities and even the fast food was of a very high standard. All in all a really fun few days

Hotel was clean and staff were friendly. The noise from others staying in the hotel was horrific. No one seemed to care that there were other residents, or children sleeping in other rooms. Food was great in all areas of Sun City.

Room Tip: Try not to get a room at the end of a corridor. Most residents were loud and noisy. Rooms were clea...
