“Pity times have changed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012
3
people found this review helpful

My family and I visited Sun City on more than one occasion when I was a child, it was awesome. I now live in Dubai and a lot of the resorts here remind me of my times at the Lost City. However, the staff and service in Dubai is of excellence and everything is clean and run to perfection. Obviously Sun City may need a little face lift - but it sounds like the staff are the problem - not only their attitude and service but clearly from my friends who visited there recently the staff barely speak English or understand it, they seem tired and badly trained - there is no proactive response only excuses. So disappointing. And let's please not blame this on apartheid or look for excuses in 'previously disadvantaged' people. In Dubai the Indian, Pakistani and Filipino people in who take over the service industry come from real poor and sometimes war torn regions where English is not big like it is in SA - but never never never has anyone been rude and unhelpful - maybe a little ignorant and shy but that's it. C'MON SOUTH AFRICA - CATCH UP WITH THE TIMES - MAKE US PROUD!!!

Stayed September 2011, travelled with family

I disliked every secon there. The Hotel is not bad at all but the whole atmosphere is horrible, set to make people spend spend spend.
I would only recommend if you are into gambling otherwise spend yourtime visiting real south africa not this fake man made so called paradise!

“A good hotel with lots of crowd and hopeless management”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 January 2012

people found this review helpful

This hotel by itself is good with well appointed rooms,swimming pools,casino etc. The problem starts with the the non residents crowding up which results into large queues and waiting wherever you go. You will spend more time in queues than on your vacation. The staff is extremely slow,dumb and arrogant ! You will face a tough time dealing with them. Be prepared to stand in queue for entering the breakfast place right in the morning and then queuing up to take your food. You will be frustrated with the Queues !!

Sun City Hotel was absolutely awesome, lovely view from the bedroom and the whole ambiance of Sun City is just thrilling. The breakfast is fit for a King! An absolute must go place, so much to do and see. I can highly recommend this hotel and resort.

“Amazing atmosphere, Very Good Hotel”

Spent three nights here and it could not have been more perfect. Room was huge with very high ceilings, amazing view, with dining table and large bathroom. Staff was friendly and helpful when my room card kept getting demagnetized (keep your room card away from cell phones and magnetized purse clasps). It was full because of the world cup 2010. We had such a great time there.
