Just got back from the Monarch for a last minute vacation before Fall. Monarch is an average Marriott Hotel. Average doesn't necessarily mean bad, it's actually quite a cozy hotel right on the beach, on the better part of the island in my opinion. Sea Pines area is beautiful, with picturesque roads, oak trees and spanish moss. If you're looking... more

Our family booked this week through Interval International. Upon arrival we were shocked to see how small this property is. Compared to many of the other Marriott resorts that we've visited it is by far the smallest. We arrived a bit early but our room was not ready. We drove a short distance to eat lunch and then buy groceries... more

We just returned from a week at Marriott's Monarch and it was fantastic. What an awesome resort! The 2 bedroom, 2 bath villas are huge. Everthing was perfect from the moment we checked in - the staff was very courteous and friendly. There was planned activites for the whole family every day, we were right on the beach and they... more

Well first let me say we are owners and come here every year. The units have been updated several times since we started coming. Our maintenance fees have certainly reflected updating. The master suite is wonderful- comfortable king bed with excellent linens. We rarely use the jacuzzi tub. The toilet area is off the shower/dressing area and is functional- a... more

Just got back from Monarch at Sea Pines. Not very impressed overall. We have stayed at a number of Marriott Vacation Club properties (we are owners in Orlando) and this one was our least favorite by far. First I'll start with the positives. The room was nice and I guess the remodel really helped the place overall (from other reviews).... more

We have been owners at Monarch for 23 years and look forward to returning every year. Last year we spent two weeks in England on Marriott points, so we space banked our unit for a week in Vegas in September. We knew renovations had been made since we were here two years ago and were thrilled with the work that... more

We take family trips down to the Monarch every August, and we love it there! The location of the property and the people who work there are fantastic! As far as amenities go, the property is oceanfront, which is wonderful, and directly over the dunes there's a shower and two pools for you to cool of in as well as... more

I was lucky and got this resort through RCI timeshare exchange. All units are 2 bedroom units and they were recently renovated. We found the unit to be spacious with good furnitures. The master bedroom has a tub and a shower. Kitchen is well-stocked with cookwares. Beach towels were provided in the room. The complimentary wireless internet in the room... more

The 1st time my husband and I stayed at the Monarch was 2006. I read the reviews before I went and was a little worried about going. I am glad that I did not let some of the reviews hinder my choice of staying at the Monarch. My husband and I loved it! However, It did show a little sign... more
