We had a wonderful experience at Gold Reef City. The staff was helpful and friendly. Our room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was amazing, great food. An added benefit was the access to the park on each day of our stay. They have some great rides which our kids thoroughly enjoyed. A memorable stop on our family vacation.

Family weekend

“Fantastic trip and stay! I would highly recommend it to anyone. The location is extremely convenient with easy access to both the park and the casino. Breakfast offered a wide variety of options, and the beds were very comfortable. Considering that both the park entrance and breakfast are included in the price, along with the added benefit of skipping long queues at the park, the overall value is excellent.”
