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!

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

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

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.

An excellent hotel with nice rooms, grounds and food. The only minor downsides were queues at reception and concierge and delays in getting tea and coffee served at breakfast

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).
