Affordable accommodation, worst breakfast in Sun City

Reviewed Oct 12, 2021via mobile
A great special for affordable, comfortable, accommodation. The air-conditioning in the rooms effective but very noisy, recommend ear plugs or switching off.
Unfortunately the breakfast is one of the worst I've experienced, poor selection, cold and tasteless, rather head to the Wimpy or Spur in the convention centre.
The downside of any Sun Internationally resort is their over priced drinks and foods, always check the independent restaurants, for example The Brewmaster in the Valley of the Waves, will bankrupt you with tasteless overpriced food, however, you are a short walk away from superb franchise operations in the convention centre.... Or pack lots of Tupperware 😁

Pros
Good clean rooms, clean linens.
Buffet breakfast had enough to offer.
Gardens around the hotel are spacious, well maintained.
Good shuttle service taking you to various locations within Sun City.

Cons
Rooms on the smaller side.
Front desk doesn't always pick up, and service is slow when it's not related to housekeeping (e.g., hot water wasn't working, divider between room and shower/toilet was broken and had to get both fixed after numerous calls).
Lunch and dinner not provided, and the pool-side bar only provides 'bar food'.
Pool was dirty.

Overall, a decent cheaper place to stay at in Sun City.

Booked 2 rooms online, got to the front desk to be told they were in two different locations... Even though website didn't not indicate as such. Ended up topping up more to get them close to each other. I feel the lady who dealt with us fleeced us because it's now as though we paid for 3 rooms her name is rephilwe (not sure how to spell it). The hotel also omitted that it was just a bed and breakfast because they didn't not serve lunch or supper except if you order from the Hard Rock Cafe (which is a story in itself) making it very inconvenient for us who travelled with kids esp kids who had been swimming and jumping all day. Tried to call front desk and phones went unanswered.... so you get your supper from entertainment center which you have to shuttle to because the only food place that delivers is hard rock cafe...
Ordered in from Hard Rock Cafe... The two ceaser salad came in with no chicken, and one order absent all together.... Called them and they said they would rectify and quickly hang up on me... Nothing was done....

Firstly I would like to commend a staff member, Dorah for her excellent customer service. She was a star since day 1, answered every question we had and solved all of our problems. She really carried the Cabanas on her shoulders and you can just tell that she prides herself in her position.
On another note the hotel room was okay, there was no water in the room nor a microwave which I thought should’ve been there for the price we paid. Breakfast was not that great for me, it was always cold & the long queue to enter the breakfast area was an inconvenience for a hungry person in the morning. They only have one lady there handling over 200 people which doesn’t make sense to me. The restaurant inside the cabanas, also had terrible service. We waited 30 minutes and still nobody attended to us. Eventually when we were about to give up a waitress came. Other than that I think every thing else was fine just a bummer going there during the pandemic as restrictions are in place. The shuttle service was also great and convenient. Can wait for when we return next.

Room tip: Bring bottled water along Own towels for valley of the waves or any water sports Wake up early for breakfast to avoid queues

The rooms are so small specially when you book a family room, the shower is old model, the have a beautiful green golf gardens with lake views and the pool is absolute suitable for all ages, All they need to do is to renew the rooms and the showers

Room tip: The hotel is huge and divided by blocks, if you book a rooms, you need to know which block are you located

Stayed here for the August long weekend. Check in took a quite nice.
Breakfast staff were very efficient and good selection of food

Cons:
Bed lamps were directly under your face.
Two single beds were put together to form a queen bed and these beds kept separating and was very uncomfortable for a couple. Why?
Toilet flushing was broken and had to be pressed again to stop.
The pool was ice cold as well as the valley of waves. Practically nobody could swim and this was extremely disappointing despite the warm weather.
Most people were disappointed and it’s strange that no heating of the water was done for all the guests.
The Cabanas pool side has club music playing very loud the entire day and you couldn’t really relax there.
No disposable cups or water in the rooms as well as so sanitizers
