Marriott's Monarch at Sea Pines

"Stayed a week at Sea Pines and Monarch Resort. Enjoyed the sunrises over the beach, early morning walks, hot tub, lap pool & table tennis the most. Several (100?) golf courses within 30 minutes of this location. Sea Pine’s is a gated community, actually planned back in the 1950’s after WWII. Enjoyed the relaxing feel of a stress free life."

"I had a rather disappointing experience with Diamond, the staff member at the front desk. I used a travel assist to book my stay and somehow the agents address was submitted rather than mine... this prompted Dimand to tell me she would not be able to honor my reservation. Despite expecting a hospitable and welcoming experience, I was met with skepticism and rude assumptions from Diamond, which had quite a negative impact on my overall experience. My stay was supposed to be a reward for my excellent booking history- but it was clear that my presence was not appreciated, and Diamond's dismissive and short treatment of me left a bad taste in my mouth. Although the manager was able to address Diamond's concerns, it was disappointing that my own experience was not addressed or acknowledged. I feel that the way Diamond treated me based on her assumptions and/ or a lack of training required some level of response from the manager. I had to explain to my own child that the way she treated me was not acceptable. Her threatening not to let us check in made my son feel insecure and presented a great deal of confusion that was unnecessary. The room in question was characterized by its exceptional beauty and attention to detail, which exceeded all of my initial expectations. The restaurant provided an unparalleled level of service that was both attentive and accommodating. The cuisine on offer was of an exquisite quality, and each dish was prepared with the utmost care and expertise. The overall impression of the restaurant was one of a seamless blend of elegance, refinement, and sophistication that was simply unforgettable."

"Great resort along the beach with lots to do. Large pools, large chess board, and much more. Rooms were modern and nice to stay in. Staff were friendly, gave us free drinks by the pool. Jacuzzi was closed, but everything else was great. Overall good, I recommend."

"Excellent resort on the best side of the island - Sea Pines. We stayed in unit 3621, along the back, and could still see the ocean. Easy walk and very peaceful setting. Love being able to walk from the beautiful pool to the ocean without the need to drive to the beach, or take a shuttle. Super convenient to Harbor Town, and only a 15 minute drive, or less to Walmart, fast food, and other grocery stores. Plenty to do for the week, including exploring nearby beaches or forts. First time to Hilton Head, and we chose wisely staying at this location. Explored the other Marriott's including Grande Ocean, and liked the setting at Monarch the best."
