The Palace Of The Lost City At Sun City Resort

We spent two nights at this hotel after a multi-day safari in Kruger National Park. The hotel is breathtakingly beautiful; everything is magnificent, with several bronze statues on the grounds. We had never seen such a beautiful place. The welcome was warm and welcoming, befitting a luxury hotel. Breakfast in the crystal court is a must—it's not possible to reserve, but there's a good turnover. We appreciated having direct access to Sun Valley. We also visited the nearby Ukutula Lodge to walk with the lions and pet the cubs. I highly recommend it; we used the private transport recommended by Ukutula to get there. We opted for the Gazebo Romantic Dinner add-on, and since I couldn't find many photos or reviews about it, I thought I'd include some here. We didn't have high expectations but we wanted something similar to what we'd seen in Adam Sandler's movie Blended cause we're fun people ;) Basically, the experience is just okay for the price. Dinner is served under a slightly worn gazebo, decorated with a few candles on the table and a red carpet. It allows you to eat in a quiet setting and includes two private waiters for the duration of the meal. You have access to anything on the Grill Room menu, including the famous 24K Truffle Filet and a bottle of wine. The waiter played a romantic playlist, but you can make special requests. It's not quite the place for a proposal, in my opinion, but it does offer a bit of a VIP feel. If you can afford it, go for it! Note to the hotel manager: The communication regarding the Gazebo Dinner reservation needs improvement. We were given an email address to make the reservation, but the person who responded wasn't very responsive. We had to constantly follow up, and the process wasn't very clear. For the price of this experience, the first impression wasn't very good.

We had a wonderful stay at The Palace of the Lost City. The hotel is incredibly grand, with stunning décor and impressive architecture that makes it feel truly special. Our room was beautiful, exceptionally spacious and impeccably cleaned every day. The staff were friendly, welcoming and always happy to help. We also found the restaurant prices to be very reasonable, and the food was consistently delicious throughout our stay. The only downside was that the Palace pool was closed during our visit, which we hadn't realised when booking. However, the concierge team were fantastic at arranging transfers to the other pools and attractions across Sun City, making it very easy to get around. There is so much to do throughout Sun City, from safari game drives and boat trips to scenic walks, golf courses and multiple swimming pools. It's a brilliant destination for families with plenty to keep everyone entertained. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would definitely recommend The Palace of the Lost City.
