This resort is absolutely breathtaking, with stunning views and a perfect family-friendly atmosphere. The service was excellent, making our stay even more enjoyable. While the dining was a bit on the pricey side for breakfast, the overall experience was memorable, especially the private beach access. Just a note that construction work outside our window took away from the otherwise perfect vibe.

My recent stay at this hotel was nearly perfect, thanks to the breathtaking views and high level of service that made it stand out. The room was spacious and felt like a little home away from home, but I did run into some noise issues due to construction nearby. Dining was an overall delight, although a bit pricey for what I expected. The facilities were impressive, especially the access to the beach, though I wish the dining areas offered a slightly more elegant setup.

My recent stay at Monarch Beach Resort was absolutely memorable. The level of service we received was impeccable, making us feel truly valued throughout our visit. Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated, ideal for our family celebrations. However, the dining experience varied, with some items proving to be overpriced, and the location, while stunning, could have better provided transportation options to nearby attractions.
