"Sun city Cabanas far exceeded our expectations. Great value for money with a superb buffet, cooked breakfast included. Rooms were nice and grounds immaculate. Activities available were very good and just a walk around golf course on paths was beautiful. Dorah at concierge before and during visit was amazing. Highly recommend a stay here."

"The property was not as advertised. The place appears a bit run-down and the rooms we stayed in had stained and partially broken toilet seats. We had to urgently make arrangements to secure alternative accommodation for our elderly mothers, which was extremely inconvenient. The hotel employee who was on duty was however very helpful and understanding, which we appreciated very well. He also contacted the hotel manager who was equally understanding and promised to process a refund for the room...
