The Palace of the Lost City at Sun City Resort

Superb, elegant, family centric hotel.. my little kids loved it!

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.

Amazing stay, staff were incredible space and venue's stunning. Stay again when back SA.

Great place and people

A truly special place. So beautifully decorated and designed. The room was truly lovely and the views amazing. Incredible Buffett for breakfast. Wonderful staff

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.

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.

Very friendly Clean Safety Location

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

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!
