The hotel rooms were big and comfortable, immaculately clean, and surprisingly peaceful despite the lively atmosphere of Sun City outside. The service was a mix of under-pressure moments affecting some staff attitudes but redeemed by helpful individuals for dinner reservations. The location offered stunning views and convenient access to various onsite activities. The facilities were well-equipped, contributing to a pleasant overall experience.

The hotel rooms could use a revamp to be more modern for a 5-star stay. While not extremely suitable for small children, they were still OK. The cleanliness and comfort were notable. However, the hotel was not fully prepared for the number of guests expected, causing some inconvenience.

The room needs serious attention with the bedding, which was old, tatty, and full of holes. The housekeeping staff might be using it as a smoking room while cleaning, although it was listed as non-smoking. Despite being directly above the deck, it promised a pool view.

The hotel had a horrible smell coming from the bathroom drains which made it unbearable, especially at night. The rooms were not secure, leading to baboons raiding them, and there was visible mold. Noise from kids could be heard until late. However, the staff provided superior service with a perfect attitude.

Despite a few minor issues, my stay at the hotel was delightful. The room was quiet, peaceful, and equipped with everything I needed, although I encountered some problems with the air conditioning. The staff at the Peninsula restaurant were friendly and helpful, but they seemed a bit overwhelmed at times.

Dining experiences varied, with some fantastic moments but some disappointments as well. Overall, the facilities were top-notch, providing a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with a forest view by the pool, though there were some issues with water replacement and the mini-bar. The service was warm and friendly overall with some exceptions. The location near Sun City is pleasant, but ongoing renovation affects the natural light ambiance.
