Staff were amazing across the board, service was excellent as usual. What a beautiful place !!
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.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!
This resort really had it all! It’s beautiful and spacious. The staff are very friendly. There are so many options for dining all day long as well as activities and relaxation. We visited during winter which is off peak season. I expect if you go during the high tourist season it will be so busy
Excellent holiday resort. Perfect breakfast. Great swimming pool area. Wonderful experience for children.
Rooms are a bit too dark (not enough lighting)
Gym is way too small
This property is simply exceptional. The level of service is second to none. The staff are friendly and helpful and very welcoming. Fabulous rooms. Amazing amenities. Food was sublime.
We had a phenomenal time, staff were super friendly, service was great! The extra steps they take to take your experience from great to amazing are at every turn. Just an overall great time.
Splendid hotel with fabulous breakfast in huge park like gardens Huge swimming pool Stayed several times before
Only drawback is the naughty monkeys roaming around
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.
My family and I stayed at this resort last week and we were absolutely blown away by the experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly helpful and genuinely friendly, always greeting us with a smile and going out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of.
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.
I truly can’t say enough good things about this place. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable and serene getaway!
Pros: bed and pillows are comfortable; has free shuttle around sun city; luxurious and picturesque in every corner; you will receive 5 star treatment from all the staff. Valley of the waves are good for kids. Housekeeping are awesome! They cleaned a lot!
Cons: No free game drives; no airport transport from johannesberg; meals on buffet are repetitive
Very special hotel and facilities with only the offhand staff letting it down.
Best breakfast choice I’ve ever had, beautiful spacious room, absolutely stunning architecture and grounds. Very safe feeling. The added bonus of the entertainment facilities of Sun City.
Overall very impressed with the hotel, food and facilities but offhand staff bring the rating down to Good
The hotel setting was spectacular, and the service was exceptional. Our room was exceptionally quiet. Just exploring the hotel grounds was a mini-adventure!
The only area for improvement was in a few of the meals (steak over-cooked, service occasionally slow at Tusk's bar).
My son and I stayed at the Palace wished we had stayed longer. Staff and all amenities were brilliant. Set up for bedtime was really nice. Ease of getting around really good. You felt good staying there. We will be back next year
The Palace EXCEEDED all of my Expectations! This place is extraordinary...it is magical! The service provided by the manager, Francois, Gemolemo at the Front Desk, Seipati, Concierge, and Anna, Housekeeping was second to none! They all went above and beyond to make my stay truly magnificent! The Palace and my stay were Phenomenal!
