Little Sun City in Hazyview
Pros:

Great stay in Hazyview, we opted for the hotel rather than the bungalows, they looked amazing for families. Rooms were great, food awesome. Loads of activities in and around the resort. Overall, it was a good choice for us as we had very fit and active friends from Australia, they loved it.

Cons:

The rooms looked dated and old, the resort could do with an upgrade.

Pros:

The pool was great, my children thoroughly enjoyed it. Golf was enjoyable for dad.

Cons:

Service at the restaurant and poolside was poor. A very nice gentleman noticed us by the pool and made up for the rest of them by giving exceptional service afterwards. Too bad it was our last night by then.

Crazy Drinks Prices
Pros:

We have been visiting Sabi River Sun for more than 30 years, and it is deeply disappointing to see what has happened to the pricing at this once family-friendly resort.

The drink prices are completely unreasonable and feel exploitative. Charging R46 for a small can of Coke is absurd by any standard, especially in South Africa. It leaves guests feeling taken advantage of rather than welcomed.

Over the years we have happily supported this resort and recommended it to friends and family, but the current pricing policy has completely changed the experience. When basic refreshments are priced at these levels, it sends a message that guest value and loyalty no longer matter.

The resort itself still has a beautiful setting, but the excessive pricing has seriously damaged what used to be a relaxing and enjoyable holiday destination.

Sadly, our discussions with the management team were equally disappointing. Rather than acknowledging guest concerns, we were simply told that the pricing is “head office policy.” After more than 30 years of loyalty, that response says everything about how little customer feedback now seems to matter.

Pros:

Nice location and facilities

Cons:

Not necessarily a dislike but a suggestive recommendation to account for cultural and religious differences particularly regarding the cuisine and food. Having food options and form of preparations that account for cultural and religious differences would be a value addition to customers experience

My stay at the hotel was positive, as I prefer Sun Hotels across South Africa.
Pros:

The breakfast was satisfactory. However, after staying at many Sun hotels in South Africa, I’m accustomed to receiving a cappuccino at no extra charge, and this was my first time being billed for it, which felt unusual.
The location was advantageous due to its proximity to one of the Kruger Gates. The golf course was excellent, and the 5 km running paths were well maintained.

Cons:

Dinner options were limited, similar to the breakfast offering.
A room configured with two double beds is not suitable for a couple.
