My stay was quite a mixed bag. The hotel had a good location, just a short walk from the entertainment center, but I felt like it was missing the charm of Sun City from earlier times. The service was polite, but the staff could use more training to make guests feel welcome. On the upside, it offered a nice variety of dining options but fell short with diluted beverages. Overall, it was a decent stay, especially for the activities nearby, but I expected a bit more for the price.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The staff were mostly friendly and accommodating, which I appreciated. However, the rooms had some issues and I was disappointed with the dining experience as well. While the location is pretty nice, the noise levels and some delays in service brought down my overall satisfaction. It's a decent place but could use a bit more attention to detail.

The Michael Angelo Hotel in Sandton has a great location and friendly service, but the rooms were a bit small for my family of four and not as comfortable as I’d hoped.

The hotel is situated in a decent location, facing the lake, but I found the pool area could use some improvements, especially for kids. The rooms were comfortable for our family of four, though I wished the outdoor space felt more private.

The hotel had a lovely location by the lake, offering great access to watersports, which was a highlight for me. Although the family room was decent, the initial room I received was very dirty and not up to standard. The staff could have been more helpful during my stay, which was a letdown. Overall, I found the value for money acceptable, but the service left much to be desired.
