Great family & nature focused resort. Peaceful. Awesome cycling / walking track round the property. Very well managed and maintained.

Breakfast could have had more variety of fresh fruit.

Fantastic location and beautiful gardens around the golf course. Stayed in the hotel section. Crisp white linen in the rooms and puffy white towels in the bathrooms. Excellent entertainment staff for the kids. Children loved the pool and playground area. Large buffet selection at the main restaurant. Cozy main bar and good vibe around the golf bar (especially when the Springboks are playing).

Some of the hotel staff seem a little unfriendly (or distracted, which is a shame since most of the staff are very welcoming). Restaurant service needs improvement with poor attention to detail (had to ask for cutlery and crockery on more than one occasion e.g. soup spoons, tea kettle often not hot). Plenty of waiters but never around when you need them. No F&B manager visible checking to make sure guests are happy. Hotel Room TV is not HD, so not ideal for watching sport. Limited channels available (cartoon channel not working for kids). Bathrooms are modern (but tight) with lovely showers.

The property is really nice spread across a huge area, probably the biggest in hazy view. The property is very near to kruger phabeni gate around 13 kms, so early game drives can be done comfortably. The rooms are nice well designed with all the amenities. Finding vegetarian food option in south africa is a tough task, but special thanks to both the head chefs for doing everything possible and making special vegetarian food apart from set buffets for all of us for all three days. Kudos to the whole sabie river sun resort team for making our holiday nice and wonderful.

To be honest, we liked everything! Breakfast and dinner each day was excellent, with great choice and fantastic staff engaging with guests. Location is perfect; Kruger Park is less than 20 minutes away and Blyde River Canyon just over an hour away. We love our golf and the on-site 18 hole golf course and facilities are superb and offer amazing value for money. The course is in terrific condition and the noise of hippos in the dam constantly reminds you you're in South Africa! All staff and the management team are on the ball, friendly and this adds to the overall experience. We stayed 4 nights and wish we had booked more!

We couldn't fault Sabi River Sun Resort on anything.

The accommodation with extra large beds, very good food and all the sport options (golf, tennis, bowling, running, swimming, padel..), hippo's and crocodiles in the garden.

The door key cards didn't function well, so after trying and failing to open your door for a dozen times, you had no other option than going back to the reception and replacing it. I needed 3 keys for only 3 nights. Other guests in the building had the same issue. Advise: keep the card key away from your phone and other cards.

Breakfast was good, but the evening buffet was somewhat of a disappointment. I did speak to the assistant food and beverage manager about it. I was impressed with the concern he showed and that he seemed to care.

The evening buffet on Friday. I live in Pretoria - do I really need a braai? NO! It wasn't even a good selection of meat. Tiny pieces of steak, chicken drumsticks and an average boerewors. All previously coked and kept warm - so where was the braai experience?? The salads were quite good though. Drink prices were INSANE - R 38 for a coke. I'm sorry, but that is a definitive example of a rip-off!!

Absolutely beautiful resort. Very well maintained and with plenty of amenities (golf course, pools, tennis ...). There are hippos in a river next to the golf course. Excellent breakfast. A special thanks to the guys who cooked our eggs. They were perfect. The dinner buffet was excellent. There were different offerings every evening and the waiters offered excellent service. Also, a special thanks to the barman who made excellent drinks. Our room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The resort is a short drive to Phabeni Gate. It is also possible to visit the Blyde River Canyon but watch out for potholes in the road toward Graskop.

The hippos were amazing, seeing them up close and then getting out of the dam to go to the river every night l, truly special. The kids activities and entertainment keep them busy and happy. The food was good and tasty and nice variety. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially Carl that moved our room to back of the hotel after experiencing noise in the front - he went out of his way to ensure we were happy and comfortable. It’s really close to Phabeni and Paul Kruger gate.

A warmer pool during winter would have been lovely as it’s hot days but pool water was freezing during these colder months.

Great experience, close to Kruger, very friendly staff, buffet was very good. The golf course is in a great condition and a really nice course to play. We enjoyed that they had both a padel and pickleball court. The hotel rooms are 100% fine but I wouldn't say they are amazing, replace the old carpets with a laminate floor and then it would be so much nicer. Will definitely be coming back again.

The resort is extremely beautiful and has a lot of outdoor space around. The pool is a very good size and the rooms are spacious and very clean.

Our stay was half board and when we got to the restaurant in the evening to have dinner, we were told that it did not include certain meals and all drinks needed to be paid for including water! I have stayed at many hotels and usually water and soft drinks are included so this was quite a let down.
