    We had a pleasant stay at riverside sun, enjoying the luxurious suite with its spacious layout and modern upgrades. the king-size bed was comfortable, and the separate lounge area added a nice touch to our experience. we appreciated the good service from our waiter, bheki, who was friendly and attentive. the beautiful grounds and pool area were inviting, making it a lovely spot to relax.

    Breakfast needed improvement, and staff appeared overwhelmed. 😕.

    from the moment i arrived, the staff was warm and welcoming. the in-room dining service was impressively quick; my meal arrived within minutes! the location by the peaceful banks of the vaal river was perfect for concentrating on work, and the spacious, clean room made my stay comfortable. the breakfast each morning was tasty, and i enjoyed leisurely strolls along the river, where fishing and water sports added a vibrant touch to the scenery.

    What a lovely getaway! The riverside views were fine, and the spacious room was perfect for our family. Breakfast was delicious, though a bit chaotic with crowds. Be prepared for busy days, especially at the pool. A great spot for relaxation and family fun!

    The rooms are brand-new and top-notch, equipped with climate control, a safe box and multi-channel television. The breakfast is delicious and superb, and the location is perfect near emerald casino, Close to restaurants and the nearest shopping centre...

    I loved the location! It's super convenient with plenty of nearby restaurants to explore. The breakfast buffet had some tasty options, and the staff were really friendly, making us feel right at home during the Christmas stay. Plus, the pool area was beautiful, perfect for relaxing after a festive day.

    The room service menu was quite limited and repetitive, so we got tired of it quickly. we faced a ridiculous no-outside-snacks policy, which was just annoying during the holiday chaos. Breakfast service was chaotic—no one helped us, and we were left waiting forever for our food. it just felt like they dropped the ball on some basic things.

    Stayed in brand-new double room with a bath, very clean towels, for instance. The location was unbeatable and nice, close to a boat dock. The service was very good, including the really nice onsite restaurant.
