I recently had the pleasure of staying at Sun City The Palace, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was genuinely impressed by the beautiful surroundings and the grandeur of the hotel, which perfectly encapsulates luxury and elegance. The rooms are absolutely fantastic spacious, beautifully designed, and equipped with all the amenities you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail in the decor and the cleanliness of the space really stood out, making it feel like a home away from home. The service was commendable, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure that every aspect of my stay was perfect. Their warmth and attentiveness made a significant difference, and I felt genuinely welcomed throughout my visit. This level of hospitality is truly a testament to the management’s commitment to providing an outstanding guest experience. I would also like to extend my gratitude to the General Manager for the thoughtful gesture of providing a bottle of wine. It was a lovely surprise that added to the overall positive vibe of my stay. Thank you for such a memorable experience! Overall, Sun City The Palace has certainly picked up its game, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a luxurious getaway. I can't wait to return for another visit!

Overall: The hotel was really pretty and had loads of photo spots. Rooms: really spacious and had all the amenities only one thing is that they only have soap bars no liquid soap. Service: I expected better service from a five star hotel. I met good staffs too but the staffs at the dining hall for breakfast and dinner were moody and the service was super slow. Food: all tasted great there was a lot of variety for breakfast. I also had dinner there and it was great too.

A new story every day.
Sun City is a large resort and entertainment complex in South Africa's North West province, opened in 1979. It lies a few hours by road from Johannesburg. May to September is the dry winter, with sunny days and cold nights. From November to March, summer rain arrives in the afternoon. The seasons run opposite to Turkey's, because the country is in the southern hemisphere.
More about the city
Places to visit
- Palace of the Lost City: the hotel and gardens at the centre of the complex, themed on ivory and the savanna.

- Pilanesberg National Park: the neighbouring safari area, set in the crater of an extinct volcano.

Planning tips
Safari vehicles go out early and late in the day, when animals are more active. The complex is a closed area in itself, and meals and entertainment are provided within the resort. Traffic in South Africa drives on the left.
