Club Continental

We went to the Club Continental for a retirement seminar. The food was darn good. We thought there should be more gravy & some more asparagus ( only 2 really)? But just wanted to comment too that the staff was very helpful, professional & kind. Their tea was very tasty but 2nd round a little too sweet. Otherwise the place is top notch. You should check it out for yourself. They're located in Orange Park, Florida. Enjoy!

We used the Club continental as our wedding venue and couldn't have been more pleased! The venue itself is beautiful and doesn't take much to decorate! The service and the food were wonderful. We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience here. Truly a lovely venue!

Amazing place the staff was wonderful. I loved learning the history and discovering the original family still owns it. I came in early for a wedding and stayed a day after. Such a delight the team made me feel as if I was part of their family and delivered excellent customer service

The food was excellent as usually. Our waitress was very knowledgeable and very attentive. Thanks for the great food and atmosphere.

My first time at this club on the St John's River. Came for a wedding. The grounds are very pretty, perfect for an outdoor wedding. Indoors was nice too but the space doesn't really work well with a large wedding. The location of our table didn't give us a view of the bride & groom at all. We missed all of the special dances, toasts, etc bc we couldn't hear any of the announcements or music. Some TV screens hung in the rooms would help bc they could live stream the event for everyone to see.

We have been to several weddings here which were awesome and have eaten lunch a few times. It is absolutely beautiful and the food is delicious. The staff is wonderful and we highly recommend it!

We recently stayed at Club Continental while visiting for business. We were pleasantly surprised by our entire experience. It had an old Florida feel. Our room was unique in theme, very roomy, adequately updated and had an amazing view of tht St. John's River. Breakfast is served from 8-9 with a limited menu. Tuesday night is Italian Night and the food was delicious!

There is no room service but there is cleaning service. If you are a high touch individual that enjoys room service this is not the place for you. We on the other hand love the quietness and low touch homey feel. We will definitely be back!

My sister's wedding was at the Club Continental this past weekend. The Club staff and the event space were to die for. Everyone had a great time, the bride and groom were thrilled, and as the wedding planner, I could not have imagined it going any better than it did. Thank you so much, Club Continental team!

Didn't like it at all, reviews must be not real bed dirty with hair no outlet to charge your phone and no handicap access inside the facility.place full of stairs and by 10pm the access to the rooms is dark and spooky. no fridge inside the room or coffee machine. I would give it 2 stars for the hot water only.

I cannot say enough good things about The Club Continental. Through the years I've worked at several hotels/resorts and in countless restaurants and this is one of my favorite places to visit now. My family and I had no plans for Thanksgiving and their reservations were full but they made room regardless. Upon arriving the children were fussy so I asked if there was any way we could take our meal to go.

They were more than understanding and accommodating, they even made my children pancakes and waffles in case they decided to be picky. The staff was extremely friendly and the property was beautiful. I cannot think of a place I would have rather spent my holiday. The food was absolutely delicious! Even the next day and I'm not a leftover person! World class property with a staff to match!

Our experience here was absolutely amazing. The rooms had a beautiful view of the river and the room itself was very clean when we got there. The pools here are great for everyone and the grounds were very clean. We interacted with a lot of the staff and everyone was more than friendly and happy to help in any way possible. Bonnie the manager here went out of her way to make the trip as awesome as it was. I'd absolutely recommend this place to friends and family and anyone in between. The river suites at the Club Continental were a 10/10!

I was here for a wedding reception and being the first time I've been here or seen the place, I was amazed. Nice entranceway with a koi pond. Views overlooking the water. Spacious interior with two bar areas. I didn't explore the second floor but there is one. I gave 4 stars because I don't know what they truly have to offer since I was only here for a wedding.

I was here for a wedding and wow! What an awesome place! Located away from the hustle and bustle and traffic of Jacksonville, you feel like you are in another world, a world that is calm and soothing with no stress. This place reminds me of a cross between an elegant villa and a comfy bed and breakfast. The exterior brick and stone facade is a perfect match with the beautifully kept grounds with the gardens and fountains.

The back of the hotel and venue faces the St. John river and offers fantastic views. This really is a fantastic and perfect place to hold a wedding. The interior of the dining rooms had nice wood paneling and stylish fireplaces that help add to the warmth and old world feel of this place. Awesome place to be and hope to be back for a stay in the future! :

We were staying at this location for a wedding this past weekend. Overall I enjoyed the location and the wedding was beautifully set up. Pros: The staff was top notch! Wow they were so polite and helpful. I couldn't say enough about how impressed I was. Rooms are beautiful and the view WOW The pools are awesome and again staff all around was amazing.

Location is great because your tucked away from the city. Venue amazing along with the food. They really did a great job. I recommend this place for a wedding. Bed and sheets were so very comfy. Definitely a great night sleep. They provide fish and turtle food which was so fun to feed them. Cons: The grounds could use some attention. Just landscaping cut backs and cleaning for some slippery plant mildew / fungus on the grounds.

Maybe some better lighting also. Space is smaller so some of the wedding tables have to be behind some partial walls. (No biggie) Breakfast was okay but not great but staff, she was so attentive and sweet. It is an older building so you can very easily hear all the neighbors next to you. The AC cannot go lower that 72 due to the age of the building.

For the amount of $$ paid, they only include three channels on tv. This I did not like especially when I wanted to relax and just watch tv. They provide a dvd but who has dvds readily on hand? Biggest disappointment: Nothing was provided for the bride and groom in the honeymoon suite. Nothing. You would never know it was a honeymoon suite. So I went out and bought champagne, roses, extra waters, and chocolate covered strawberries for the bride and groom to feel special. Overall: Beautiful place and I do recommend it for a wedding venue.

This Place was a HUGE disappointment! I had never been there before but to the Riverhouse to hear some music on an evening. This time I was there for a Club Meeting and Lunch inside at the Club Continental. The outside needs grounds maintenance.is too over grown with plants, trees, shrubs, and vines. First off.the coffee. Cold and Strong. Impossible to drink! Food-The staff could not keep the pans filled.why not?

People had to stand and wait for more meat, more vegetables, more dessert.on and on. Poor Service! Most of the food was NOT hot. The processed turkey slices were all alike and all was smothered in a bad gravy. Most good restaurants offer a nice roasted sliced real turkey and if you wish gravy.it is there to ADD to your meal.not bathed in a gravy that really didn't taste good.

Green beans were cold and so long one had to cut them with a knife or bend them around with your fork to eat politely. The bread was dry, cold over done toasted white bread of some kind sitting for a long time.was terrible! There was no dressing of which I was told the lunch was turkey and dressing with mashed potatoes. The potatoes were not real.they clumped and separated and tasted like they had added a lot of water to instant mix.

They never brought more cheesecake out until the meeting was about over. The chocolate mousse was just Ok. For the price I would have at least expected real food and not processed as what most of their food tends to be.definitely Not worth the price.and I would never return and I will be sure to let others know this bad experience. Quite a shock! Expected much better but guess groups don't rate here.

The venue it's self was very pretty but there isn't much else to it. The free breakfast was a massive disappointment. It was on par with a typical Hampton inn free breakfast. For almost $350 for 2 nights I expected so much more. 3 wall lamps were broken, we had no cold water so brushing our teeth and washing our faces with scalding hot water was not fun, our overhead light didn't work, the towel rack was broken off and gone, there was grime and hair all over, getting ready in the evening was impossible with the lack of lighting from all the lighting that didn't work, and the shower drained was clogged so we had to shower in water pooling around our ankles.

We addressed some of the concerns with someone and she said she would send someone up. He got our cold water to go from a drip to a drizzle. It helped but not much. And when we checked out the man said he would pass along the info to the manager and that they had our info. This was almost 2 weeks ago and we never heard back. None of it is worth the money. Also, when we addressed all the concerns at checkout he said we should of called someone to have all these things fixed but it is not really an option when you are in the middle of getting ready.

How were we going to know the shower was clogged until we were actually in there and it wasn't until we were getting ready at 6pm that we realized all these lights were broken. Sure the water got slightly fixed but I still had to wash my face and brush my teeth wish scalding hot water at 9pm the first night when we realized it was broken and no one on staff is there to fix it.

Regardless if they could of been fixed it would of ruined that time either way. Keep up with your rooms better instead of trying to say it is our fault for not letting you know stuff needed to be fixed. We were only there for 2 days and over the span of two days we kept finding stuff. And I shouldn't have to call someone multiple times during my visit while I'm gettin ready for a wedding to have these things fixed!

Wow. the butternut ravioli was amazing! Service was wonderful and the view of the river from the dining room feels and looks lik a turn of the century movie set. It's a must if you live or are visiting the area.

This is perhaps the hardest review I have ever had to do because everything that came before the entree was delicious was awesome how ever the entrees themselves not so much. We started with the crab cakes and I typically prefer jumbo lumps of crab however the sauce was delicious and the crab to filling ratio is good (more crab than filling). Then the waitress brought out a salad with maybe a creamy balsamic dressing that was really good.

Which was followed by a terrific sorbet, but after came our steaks. in a word "blah". I ordered the filet cooked medium and it was over cooked which made it taste like ground beef. The mashed potatoes that came one the side were very dry and turned into a pasty as I chewed. All in all had 4 star starters followed by 2 star entrees. The service was awesome!

I have been here twice, the first for a standard brunch and the second for an Easter brunch buffet. Both times, staff have been incredible. They are extremely inviting and gracious, and are quick to deliver food and refill drinks. The first brunch, I ordered a Bloody Mary that was standard and simple. I chose the eggs benedict which was very tasty.

We were with a large table, and our server was quick and helpful with us when we asked many questions. My second time was this recent Easter. There were many large tables, and the place was packed. Still, we received timely service from the staff. It was buffet style that offered many different options: pancakes, waffles, bacon, sausage, an omelet station, meats, salad, mac and cheese, soup, roasted veggies, tater tots, and many delicious desserts.

They hosted a cute egg hunt for the kids with someone dressed as the Easter bunny for photos. My favorite part was the gorgeous view of the St. John's River through the windows. Our group went out and took nice photos with the river in the background. Lovely place to bring the family.

We just attended a wedding and I have mixed feelings. It was expensive for what you get. Could be an incredible place if it had a real polished management team First, the location is unbelievable. Right on the St Johns and with the old oak and vintage look it is picture perfect. However once you start looking around it shows the fact that the grounds are not well kept and the building needs repairs. $180 for a room and the view is one of a mud pit outside the balcony.

There is no landscape upkeep as the entrance is a dirty koi pond and un groomed vegetation. The entrance needs some paint and a good cleaning. The rooms in the main building are worn out and have dirty old wall unit air conditioners, again for the prices they charge it is simply wrong The staff is congenial but not friendly. The food was mediocre at best.

The amenities were almost nonexistent. So, other than the history and incredible view I would give it a big pass. They really need to invest in some updates and world class customer service

Went for a wedding. Nice rooms, great view from many rooms, food is great but I love the atmosphere the most. They even have dog friendly rooms which I find very important and I always look for. The people were all nice and friendly and the prices were decent. If you get a chance to go during 4th, it's pretty nice. Great place to host a wedding! Very nice

The Club Continental is a beautiful property and a wonderful venue for a wedding. The buildings are very old and have a very "old Spanish settler" feel to them. The large trees covered in Spanish moss gives a great atmosphere to the property. The staff seemed courteous enough. They were very helpful to the wedding party. The upper tower room is very nice and is basically an efficiency apartment.

My sister rented it to get ready for her wedding. I was not however happy with the fact that we wanted to stay on location with the wedding party but they would only offer us rooms within the main building in advance. Once we got to the location we saw that there was not only to outlaying buildings but there were also cheaper rooms located in the main building.

There is a pool on site as well as a beauty salon, tennis court, a koi/turtle pond and fountain, lake view and a patio bar that we used as an after party location once the main building closed.

Old school, quiet and expensive. But that's ok, it's Old Florida at its best. Love The Club!

This place awful! The staff is horrible. The maintenance teams are questionable. The tenants are rude. This place is ran all the way down. Beware of going to this place for any purpose.

I have attended two events here and stayed at the B&B twice. If you are going to be there late into the night for en event, and you were part of the group to help set up for the event, staying there is definitely the way to go because of the discount. Otherwise, it will be steep but I don't necessarily think it's a good value. The location along the river with the historic buildings and open courtyard is really scenic.

The indoor space is a little tight depending on number of people and room/buffet set up. The staff are friendly. Parking is pretty decent, although the dirt/unpaved lot is a little treacherous at night.

What a great place! We had the opportunity to attend a family wedding and WOW, what a setting. Right on the Saint Johns River. This location was the perfect setting for Garrett & Meg's wedding celebration. Great food, great service and we had a blast.

A nice intimate venue for a wedding. The club is off the St John River, there are large oak trees which acts as a canopy over the wedding processional and guest. The rooms inside are well decorated and had a good overall atmosphere. The staff coordinated the hor d'oeuvres, main course, cake and champagne toast to perfection. I had a great time and if my daughter or son decide to get married this is a venue I would consider.

Lovely! I drove up and was shocked that I was staying in such a gorgeous building for my business trip. The staff was friendly and the building was just amazing. My room was a small room (which I asked for) and the bed and the furniture was all antique and lovely. I was in the main house so I don't know about the other buildings - but this one did not have an elevator which loses one star in my book because I'm a small woman traveling alone and it was very hard to get all of my stuff down those stairs at 5am when I had to leave to catch my flight.

I even ate dinner in the restaurant and have no complaints. The view is amazing, the staff friendly and prompt and the food just melted in my mouth! Well worth a look for a romantic getaway if you're in the area - a bit of a waste for a business trip :(

This place is amazing, I cant tell you how much I am paying for a room because I am getting a corporate rate. but I can tell you this, it is not expensive.first of all my general contractors wife found this place while we were on a job site. I said sure I take a room, she said brace yourself it is retro. well I pulled up and yep it is old but very well kept. large rooms with spectacular views of the Saint John river. (see the awesome photos) good breakfast in the morning and off to work I go. plus if you stay here you get to go to the private club right next door.
