The room and palace hotel were amazing. It was a great way to start our trip to South Africa. The breakfast was delicious. Shuttle around the resort was prompt and the staff was very helpful at helping you plan activities. The resort had walking trails and a great pool. Pool isn’t heated in the winter but you can go to a nearby hotel to swim.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Honeymoon – Made Exceptional by Sherly

Our honeymoon at The Palace of the Lost City was extraordinary, but what truly made it unforgettable was the incredible care and dedication of one staff member: Sherly.

From the moment we arrived she went far beyond what we expected. Knowing it was our honeymoon, she had our room beautifully prepared with romantic touches like rose petals and wine which made our stay feel incredibly special.

Before travelling, I had mentioned a very personal hope – that I might somehow reconnect with my nanny who cared for me when I lived here as a small child over 30 years ago. It felt like an impossible dream, yet Sherly quietly made it happen. She found her and arranged for us to meet, creating one of the most emotional and meaningful moments of my life.

Sherly continued to exceed expectations throughout our stay. When our hot air balloon trip was cancelled due to wind, she personally helped arrange the refund. When we realised we had accidentally booked our airport transfer for the wrong day, she immediately organised a new one and made sure we reached the airport in time.

Her warmth, kindness and calm professionalism made us feel completely looked after.

The Palace itself is magnificent, but staff like Sherly elevate the experience from wonderful to unforgettable. She is an outstanding ambassador for the hotel and truly deserves recognition.

We cannot wait to return!

We came yo the palace at the end of our holiday around South Africa. This is a huge property and it has alot for families to do and enjoy. The problem is to figure out how to get to things and book activities you need an app. This app is not available for the Australian Apple and Google stores so we couldn’t download it and there is just an expectation that that’s what you will do, so there is no information available anywhere in your room, the foyer, internal tv system for you to learn as a guest. It took us a couple of days to figure this out. The food at the palace - breakfast, pool side and weekend buffets is very good but expensive by South African standards. Also if you have a child under 9 you can’t eat at any of the restaurants in the Palace - which is a bit rude noting it’s a family hotel. You have to catch a bus (which is free and regular) to the shopping centre and eat in a food court or go to another one of the hotels. I object to doing that when I am paying over $400 a night! The options in the food court aren’t healthy and we got food poisoning at the Greek restaurant- which has no Greek food on the menu besides a Greek salad which isn’t a Greek salad. That was honestly one of the worst meals I have ever had.
Also be aware that you share all the facilities like valley of the waves etc with all the other hotels and time shares on the property and day visitors to the property.
It has a lot of potential but needs a major revamp as rooms etc are tired.

The property itself was breathtaking, beautifully maintained grounds, stunning views, and peaceful surroundings that made it easy to relax and unwind. Whether taking a walk trough its trails or enjoying the sunset, every corner of the resort felt like a slice of paradise.

Apart from service the place is beautiful

Amazing hotel due to the servicies available! Lots to do! The breakfast choice is amazing but the service is not friendly. The hotel room is spacious and has many amenities but again staff not friendly. Room service is slow. It's a general attitude of some of the hotel staff. The building, the good quality furniture and the amenities are excellent. Still the bad service brings it down. I have had better services for less of the money I paid here.

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.

Definitely NOT what to expect in a 5 Star hotel

A broken door mechanism should have been replaced - particularly in a room of this category.

No turn-down service.

Otherwise room is OK. The restaurant \"the grill\" was most disappointing, with two dishes not available and service either painstakingly slow or no service at all. The evening ended in a \"Spur\" manner with a little crowd deafeningly screaming \"happy birthday\" to some guests, in absolute oblivion of the tranquillity of the others.

Definitely NOT what you would expect in a 5 Star hotel.

The Palace is an incredibly beautiful place - we just admired the decorations (African annimals as statues at the front as well as inside, floor mosaics, the structure of the Palace you see on arrival and on the passage from the lobby to bedrooms

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.

The resort itself was mind blowing, character filled, it is the biggest and best breakfast we have ever eaten in the world in all our years of travel, the room was filled with South African decor and had everything you needed including a shower and bath and separate toilet, having access to the Valley of the Waves (water slides and wave pool and lazy river) included was an added bonus, having a courtesy bus also included to drop you off at various Sun city locations was amazing including being able to get access to a Spar Supermarket near the entrance to Sun city where we topped up on supplies for our room. The internet was super strong as well. We thoroughly recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone it is one of the best places we gave ever stayed at in the world.

The hotel is located within the huge Sun City complex which has a ton of activities to keep adults and kids busy. The fact that the property is only a 5min drive from the Pilanesberg park makes the location exceptional and going on a safari a breeze. The hotel is perfect for families and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to have the flexibility of doing a mixture of safaris and daily activities. My only complaint is that we didn’t receive any VIP Access amenities during our stay.

The resort in general was beautiful, the grounds were amazing and the story behind the whole resort is provocative. The 2 things that bothered us were
1) The service on the day that we arrived was outstanding but on the 2nd day we went for breakfast and the room (truly beautiful) was so jammed with people who came for breakfast that the wait staff had trouble keeping up. The room is made for about 200 people but there must have been almost 400. There was about a 30-minute wait in line.
2) That same day we were to have received a room cleaning sometime before lunch and the cleaning person didn't show up until 3:00 pm, then we were to receive a turndown service during our dinner and she never showed up. You have to realize that the resort is supposed to be a 5-star resort, as such, there are certain aspects of service that they are supposed to deliver. For this reason, we are lowering their rating to 4.5 stars.

This property really is the Palace of Africa and an amazing place to stay. Unfortunately aging room amenities lead to non-functional products. While plenty of staff around the palace the attention to detail and customer experience from a service stand point is not up to the level of 5 star and justifiable of the rates charges per night.

In short - incredible location and place to stay, service of a 3-4 star experience and therefore not worth the min $500 per night rates.

My wife and I felt we needed to express our utter disappointment with the standard of service at the palace.

I chose the hotel for my Birthday celebration due to a good experience 6 years ago and I am shocked how the service has deteriorated compared to then, and in comparison to other 5 star hotels we recently stayed at.

Let me be specific.

On arrival:
The check-in lady wasn’t able to find either of my booking, both under my name, she could hardly walk and had to check various documents to eventually find both right in front of her. The delay in check in was the first sign…

We immediately went to concierge to reconfirm the numerous bookings we made prior to our trip.
They were not able to confirm everything and we had to come back next day to check again. They did write some notes and a dirty piece of paper. They asked my phone number but were not able to contact me on my USA number, the only number I have.

We asked to confirm dinner reservations for the evening and were told it’s fully booked.? We we asked to go to the casino and find a restaurant there. Surely as hotel
Guest we are entitled to have dinner at either restaurant in our hotel…

To get to the casino we had to wait 20 mins for a bus. It was terrible and the people working outside directing traffic is not doing a great job. There were 3 people talking to each other and when I asked to confirm which bus we need to take, they made me feel as if I was interrupting them and a nuisanc

This is a magnificent property that is showing the signs of age. It’s is still grand and beautiful but Carpets are worn.shower temperature is hard to regulate. We were upgraded to a suite which was great but the A/C was really only good in one room. But I did notice that Upgrades are starting. It is superbly clean and the staff are great but due to current COVID restrictions there were few dining options and the world famous breakfast buffet suffered from all the regulations.the hotel was not full and the great part of that was there was no one in the water park. We will come again in time when the upgrades are finished

The Palace of The Lost City

Magnificent to look at, great facilities and plenty of grandeur. The rooms could do with updating and some of the food is not great.

Spectacular to look at but some rooms are a bit dated now and the food is very average

Palace Of Lost City - Sun City

It was beautiful.
the only problem was a leaking toilet & the restaurant not accepting guests after 8Pm on Saturday & requiring a booking for Sunday (which we were not made aware of).

Quiet and restful

Good restful stay, especially under covid conditions. Missed out on our complimentary bottle of wine but otherwise service was good.

Amazing treat for the whole family!

Amazing stay! Had a wonderful weekend. The food is absolutely incredible - best breakfast I have ever seen. The warm and cold taps were very hot - so showering was a bit of a challenge. Other than that - such a nice weekend.

Missing the Sun King

Ive been coming to Sun City (80s)and the Palace(90s) since it opened.Unfortunately seems that mgts push to cut costs will hurt service and for a claimed 6 star hotel and resort thats just unacceptable.That said the staff i encountered were all super courteous and efficient but problem is too few and thin on the ground resulting in even having to place my own lunch order at the pool bar rather than have staff taking my order.Overall Palace needs a refurb as looking a bit tired .The pool area dissapointing with deck chair covers looking like they havnt been upgraded in ages and were torn, in poor condition.

My son and daughter in law stayed at your establishment as a wedding anniversary present from me.
They were very impressed with the hotel, service ,room ,entertainment and food.
They will definitely recommend The Palace to all our friends and family.
