Beautiful hotel in exquisite setting. From the moment we arrived, every interaction has been genuinely warm, and every staff member went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and cared for. It’s clear that the team takes immense pride in creating unforgettable experiences. It’s rare to encounter such a consistently exceptional team who clearly feel a deep passion for their work. Thank you.

This is my first time staying at the Claremont and honestly, I was taken aback by how worn and dirty everything was. They stuck us in one of the worst rooms they had overlooking a roof with a bunch of tools strewn about - we are literally looking at a view of garbage and roof top air conditioning units . There are scuff marks everywhere and I would think that for a hotel of this cost then they could touch up a baseboard or two. The pool is very shabby, and I was surprised by how run down it all was. The cost isn’t worth the stay, and it’s sad I’ve wanted to stay here for so long. We paid extra for a nicer room and I can’t help but feel we didn’t get it and were shoved into the worst room in the hotel.

Our company hosted our program at the Claremont Resort last week and everything was handled seamlessly, and we truly appreciated the attention to detail. Nicci Spiteri efforts played a big part in making the event run smoothly. I look forward to our next event at the Claremont.

This hotel feels like my new home because of Effie at the front desk. Her service is impeccable. She took care of my every need and made me feel appreciated and valued in the process. I travel often for work and sometimes it can feel like you just want to come home for a warm meal and to your family. The Claremont is where I go because I am treated with excellent service and because Effie makes it feel like home. She is warm, attentive, professional, and delivers the highest quality service. This is the second time I’ve interacted with her (I visited for vacation in March 2025) and she was just as lovely then. She remembered every detail about my previous trip, my boyfriend, and I could tell she genuinely cared about me and my experience at The Claremont. I’ll be back and I’ve already told my friends that when they visit, they need to ask for Effie.

We were warmly welcomed by Makiva upon arrival, and our family truly cannot say enough about her dedication to ensuring we were well taken care of. Although there was an error with our reservation made by one of her colleagues—despite our prior calls—Makiva noticed the issue before we did. She handled it with grace and professionalism, never placing blame, and simply fixed the problem. She represented the hotel so well that we didn’t get frustrated or care about the errors. She even took the time to text us once she found a suitable room and later followed up with a phone call to make sure it exceeded our expectations. As we explored the property, we were met with warm greetings from staff at every turn. The grounds are beautiful, even with some ongoing construction. To top it all off, the staff went above and beyond to recognize our anniversary, surprising us with treats to celebrate with the kids. Our experience so far has been outstanding—and we’re only halfway through our stay! Don’t hesitate—book now. You and your family will absolutely enjoy it.
