My stay at the Claremont Resort & Club was good, with stunning views and a beautifully appointed room. yet some minor issues, such as additional fees and noise, slightly detracted from the experience. I truly appreciated the attentive service and the cozy, historic atmosphere, but I think the variety of facilities could use some enhancement.

I had a gorgeous room with beautiful views of the Bay and the city, and the decor was bright and sunny. although there were minor cleanliness issues that needed addressing at first. The comfort of the bed was noteworthy, though some awkward bathroom features did impact functionality.

I enjoyed the spa and pool areas, but I did find it limiting that certain facilities were under construction. combined with the fact that I had to pay the resort fee even when I wasn’t utilizing those facilities left a sour taste.

I had an amazing family staycation at Claremont Resort & Club, with stunning views and an accommodating staff. The modern updates throughout the resort blended beautifully with its historic charm. However, I was disappointed to find the pool bar under renovations during my visit, which affected our poolside experience. Overall, I would still rate this place high for its family-friendly amenities and beautiful location.
