“Cascade Hotel”

Sep 13, 2025tmashiyane12

Sun City is a beautiful place to be. However, on my third visit it was a mess. The hotel had a terrible smell of toilets, especially in the passages leading to the rooms and even inside the rooms.

“Loved Sun City”

Jul 16, 2025Lsnelly

We are a family from Australia who spent 2 nights at Sun City in July 2015. Picked Cascades as it seemed central to all the action, and it was. Loved our time there. I didn’t have the highest expectations so that probably helped! But we absolutely loved it all! Though initially disappointing our kids had to share a sleeper couch in family room when I booked via Expedia for queen plus 2 singles, it was fine. Room was acceptable with no issues. Loved walking around the gardens, valley of waves (too cold to swim but kids braved the slides), the Palace, the maze, the chimpandzee, safari trek etc - thought the whole place was fabulous. Buffet breakfast at Cascades was great (even with visits from monkeys. Mexican eatery was really good but the Greek restaurant at Cascades was absolutely awful - food was appalling. The only negative. Otherwise, we loved our time here!

“5 star hotel 3 star rooms”

May 29, 2025preshina

The entrance gives off this amazing 5 star vibe but the hotel rooms seriously requires refurbishment. Carpets are old and smell damp. The front desk staff however are amazing. Night manager Comfort and Gia were extremely helpful in trying to get me a clean room even though it made us look like homeless people in Cascades at 10pm. We had to move rooms 3 times and that's definitely not expected from a 5 star hotel. Housekeeping should also report damages to maintenance so us as guests do no have to go through these problems.
