The Cascades Hotel at Sun City Resort

Thought they would have an in house fitness centre but otherwise very nice place.

I loved most things about the Cascades Hotel and Sun City. The hotel is a little dated but this is made up for by the facilities and ease of getting around the hotel and complex in general

Everything is good except the furniture and finishing in the rooms are quite old fashion for such a beautiful hotel

Great venue for couples and families.

Loved our stay and kids really enjoyed !

Pros - water park is fab for kids, grounds are lovely Cons - Old property, rude staff (especially at check in - never seen anything like it), took ages to have sofa bed in family room made up, sofa was missing cushions, lights in room didn't work, bath didn't drain, mould in shower

Tired, under occupied and felt a shadow of what it used to be. Bar closed early, restaurant very average and reception staff unhelpful, asking for £80 for a 2 hour check out extension when the hotel was almost empty.

Feels like one of the high end Las Vegas resorts

The facilities are quite dated but the staff were wonderful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Great location for accessing Sun City.

Convenience

The hotel is ok, but service levels are lousy. In particular, my experience at the Luma Bar was atrociously bad. After waiting for 20 minutes for any kind of service, I got fed up and ordered a drink from the bar. Then after they brought me the (correct) order, a few minutes later another waiter came over and asked me if I’d started drinking it, in a weirdly accusing way. I don’t know if he thought I’d been given someone else’s drink, or if there was something else going on. In hindsight, the vibe was such that someone could even have contaminated the drink (seriously - it was weird - I should have walked out). Then there was a stupid debate about the bill. I’ve never been in an alleged 5-star hotel where you couldn’t just charge it to the room. The guy could have just checked, but instead he started arguing about it. And in the end I charged it to the room anyway. So I’ll never return, and my recommendation would be you don’t go either.

Excellent stay with friendly staff except that next morning my room was not cleaned till 4.00 pm. I had to call the reception to complain and they fixed. Other than that everything was perfect

Loved the surroundings, the gardens, the activities and how close it is to Pilanesberg. Breakfast was amazing. Well worth it. Grill room at the palace. Amazing food. Disliked the Greek restaurant. Food was not up to standard.

We had a dreadful check in, my worst check in ever. Upon arrival the reception notified us that the System cancelled our booking, after travelling for more than 10 hours, being tired already, this was not good news. The manager was called, no sympathy, not re-assurance, the were just busy on the phone and on the system the whole time, we showed them our confirmed and paid booking and we also show our bank statement where the money was deducted. After an hour of standing around, not knowing what is happening, they finally gave us a room. No compensation, no sympathy, nothing. Room was very nice, large, great bathroom, but the bathroom is just a bit smelly, we did report it. Nice TV with various channels. Breakfast was amazing, but all staff at the Cascades are unfriendly, which was not nice. Would rather stay at one of the other places in future.

The stay was good but the rooms are becoming dated and old. Some items were slightly damaged and some of the pool side day beds were really old. The place needs a revamp. Doubt I would book the Cascades again.

It’s ok . Very dated and probably worth spending the extra to go to the Palace hotel up the hill.

Very much enjoyed the property. Great golf course and good food. Very relaxing vacation.

Great stay, rooms are first class, beds and pillows super coomfy. Breakfast is first rate, and if undecided..go for it and skip lunch. Huge array of hot and cold, fresh pastries and smoked salmon ( Lax)

Excellent facilities.

Wonderful place for family a must go holiday resort
