Marriott's Monarch at Sea Pines

Wonderful resort right on the beach. Beautiful grounds and villas. Very friendly and attentive staff. Great location for seeing all of Sea Pines and Hilton Head Island.

Great property location in Sea Pines HHI. They are in the process of needed remodeling project and will be excellent when completed.

This is a beautiful property set in the Nature Preserve on the North end of Hilton Head. When arriving for the first time you need to pay $9 to access the area, not a big deal but we aren't aware of that. Part of the preserve has beautiful walking trails and those are only a few minutes away from the resort. This report itself is located on a beautiful stretch of beach with easy access and there are nice pools facing the ocean. Our unit was beachfront and on the fifth floor and both the balcony off the living room and the balcony off the second bedroom had nice ocean views. We were in a newly renovated unit and although the decor and furniture were nice, there were issues: the appliances were old and when I opened the dishwasher for the first time, the rubber stripping had fallen out. My wife went to wash her hands and the towel rack fell off the wall. Most importantly, the elevator wasn't working! They were aologetic but a phone call in advance wanting of of this would have been nice. This occured in February, 2025 so if you have an upcoming stay you may want to phone and ask about it. Other than that this is a great resort.

The Island is enjoyable but the property itself needs to be upgraded

Beautiful views and excellent staff. Very friendly

We exchanged our Myrtle Beach MVC deeded week to the Monarch, first time in HH. The resort is the oldest in HH and seems to be in the midst of a needed renovation. Our room was not updated and is on the smaller size than what we are used to but ocean side views, 4th floor. It was only 2 of us so the supplies offered were more than we needed. Get past the outdated furniture, leaky toilet, blinking light on microwave and odd light switches, the resort is beach front and very quiet and relaxing. Hearing the ocean from our 4th floor unit was much appreciated. No pool bar on site, a quick walk next door to Coast restaurant and they have a full bar and bites in a nice setting that is beach front. Plenty of chairs, pool options and even in December a full schedule of activities. Other than Coast and Fraser’s on the golf course across the way, you need to drive out of development. The Sea Pines community is large and we have found all the roads inside and outside of Sea Pines to be very dark, little to no street lights and windy roads. We needed a chill, relaxing week and we were successful, even lucked out on 65-72 degree days in December!

Marriott's Monarch in Sea Pines is The Best Resort on HHI for ease of beach access...especially for those with limited mobility, or families with young ones. The resort has all of the amenities... and a great beach restaurant just next door.

We have stayed at Monarch multiple times. There is a new initiative this year. Each unit has a “starter pack” of supplies, i.e. bathroom soap, dishwasher pods, dish liquid etc. After you have used that you must purchase your own. This is the first time we have stayed in a “high end’ resort where we weren’t supplied soap for the entire stay. One tiny bar was supplied for each bathroom. Definitely not enough for a family of 4. This is ridiculous! Of course, additional supplies are available for purchase, at high Marriott prices! We already pay high maintenance fees. This really put a damper on our stay. If you are there for a day or two, you are all set. If you, stay longer, not so. That is not fair. And no notice was given. We expected better from Marriott!
