Prior to my visit I looked at other reviews that hyped up the newer properties like Grand Ocean and Surfwatch. On my visit to Hilton Head, I visited all the properties (except the two in Harbour Town) and I like Monarch the best. The location is definitely the best. Being within the gates of Sea Pines Plantation changes the experience... More

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful, relaxing vacation at the Monarch (April 6 - 13). I spent the first part of the week with a girlfriend, and our husbands arrived near the end of the week. Our villa was very nice with both pool and ocean views (Azalea building - 3rd floor). Prior to arriving, I requested... More

Couple weeks ago I had the opportunity to do a road trip (finally vacation time) and I chose Hilton Head as part of my trip because all the reviews and pictures I found before, it was very quiet, and away from everything I know.. a 2 bedroom villa, that looked more like my apt in Charlotte! nice, clean big tv's,...

This is another wonderful and well maintained Marriott property. We have stayed here before but this time the villas had been totally remodeled so it was even nicer than it had been previously. The grounds are just lovely and it is a beautiful stretch of beach. Being at Sea Pines makes it convenient to shops and restaurants and bars. There... More

Great oceanfront property recently renovated. We had a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom unit with living room and fully equipped kitchen and washer dryer. Furniture and kitchen appliances brand new with new carpet, tile floors and fresh paint. One bad thing, a long walk to the outdoor elevator in this 5 story property. There were 2 swimming pools, one heated, 3... More

Everything was nice, from the staff to the scenery. A beautiful resort. The beach is easily accessible and clean. The pools and deck were also clean and short walk from our room. The room are very nice and spacious. The kitchen was extremely clean, as were the dishes and refrigerator.

If being beach front is what you want, this is a good location. We especially enjoyed the heated pool, hot tubs and fire pit. very nice and relaxing. The property itself shows its age, despite a recent renovation. The workmanship was shoddy at best, for example--dishwasher not properly installed and wouldn't shut without force, tub water spout sticks out from... More

We had a two bedroom oceanside unit, 4th floor, corner unit. Recently renovated, it belied its 30-plus year age. Tastefully decorated, beautiful bathrooms and kitchen. Superb sunrises!!!! Unit was spacious and well equipped if you plan on cooking while staying there. Was surprised that we had daily maid service on an extended stay (Usually it's only midweek unless requested and...

My parents have owned a time-share unit at Monarch for over 28 years and I can say nothing but good things about this resort. Over the course of their ownership, I have seen the property completely renovated several times, and the most recent updating just took place this winter. I can't wait to go in May and see our newly... More
