The Cabanas Hotel at Sun City Resort

Very huge hotel, check in and check out a bit complicated…. Breakfast is overcrowded. Concierge doesn’t seems to know much about the activities out of the hotel, no room service. House keeping staff very nice, park is huge and beautiful

The Cabanas hotel is great for families or if you want to stay at Sun City on a budget. The rooms have great showers and being in the ground floor you e got use of sunbeds. Out look fantastic in block 23, must say rooms spotless, staff great but it’s in need of a bit of TLC. The breakfast buffet plentiful but weekends are busy and can be noisy. The walks, the amenities and swimming pools fab, so much to do and see. Crazy golf and water world all extra. Lost city and wave world awesome. Evening walk around the golf course stunning specially with the visiting animals. One thing though if you want to do a safari send an enquiry don’t wait till you’re there. Also be aware if you arrange a taxi you’re best to ask the hotel to let the front gate know otherwise outside companies find it difficult to gain entrance. We’ve had a great few days sad to leave but would have preferred more of a hotel style holiday than the apartment style. We had a lovely meal at the Gary player clubhouse recommend trying the hole-in-one cocktail Sun City a fabulous location, great for all ages. So much to do and enjoy for all ages with a range of accommodation. Its approximately 2.45 hours drive from Johannesburg airport

Fun stay for a couple of nights - wish I'd realised the valley of the waves is unheated.......way too cold to enjoy at this time of year!

Overall the place is very nice place but there are some expectations you need to manage & issues the hotel needs to address. Expectations: - Hotel advertises shared resources, so you may need to travel to other hotels/buildings on premises to access those facilities i.e hot tubes, arcade - pool looks great but the water park is far superior. the pool closes a few hours after the park so you only have a small window to take advantage of it if you go to park. - you can’t charge a lot of the activities to room & staff are not open about what you can do at hotel. You will need your card as they also don’t take cash. - not all activities are available & we only got a message after booking about what wasn’t available. You may need to be strategic about when you come if there is a specific activity you want to do. Issues: - There are maintenance issues. Our toilet door knob broke, the fridge was humming loudly & we couldn’t find where to turn it off. There were other small things and it just built up to feeling that someone needed to do some work. - the rooms need better sound proofing as we could hear everything from floor above & corridor. Someone checked in upstairs & we could hear their phone getting messages at night. We had a great stay & the resort facilities are still part of the cabanas package. I just hope that it improves so the hotel matches the overall resort.

The rooms were clean but could do with a little TLC. The location was great with amazing shuttle services. The breakfast is massive always give your self extra time. Highly recommend the property if you looking for a affordable stay.
