Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach Resort

Wonderful resort, the people are amazing as are the views. Pool service was also excellent. The food was great too, pretty expensive but if you’re just wanting something quick you can always door dash some burgers and meet them in the lobby. For dinner, you must do the steakhouse! You won’t regret it. Will definitely return.

Thanks to Allison Rouse, Alex Kwon, Ashley and all their staff members for making this a memorable experience! Beautiful property where almost anywhere is a photo opportunity. Other hotel guests were nice too. People kept offering to take photos for us and would even hold the elevator. I have to do better. It was a relaxing treat. My wife is asking for us to come here every year now. 😅

Overall a very disappointing stay - just not what we have come to expect from a 5-star WA. HH Diamond benefits are largely nonexistant - no perceptible upgrade (2nd floor room with a parking lot view - in spite of plenty of availability shown for any number of higher room categories), late checkout denied. Food options were awful - very poor quality, and very expensive. Zero availability for any of three nights for dinner reservations at Monarch Beach Club (which ideally would have been a welcome break from the regular resort fare - only to find out at lunch that the Club food was almost inedible). Pool scene also failed to meet any reasonable expectation - overrun with unruly, unsupervised children, competing with amplified noise from a large weekend-long wedding. The staff was the lone bright spot (with the exception of a rude housekeeping manager).

What a great hotel, is the fourth time we stayed here Everything is great Gym is awesome They offer classes The beach club is amazing and the food is top notch

I had high expectations for this resort and they delivered! We enjoyed our time at the 2 pools (both with hot tubs), especially given the outstanding customer service in terms of finding us chairs (I hate when I pay for luxury resorts and finding pool chairs is impossible), moving umbrellas to give us requested shade, and attentive servers for food/drink. Yes, the music was a bit loud on Saturday with the DJ but we simply sat at the other pool. We also enjoyed taking the short tram (never had to wait more than a few minutes) from the resort to the private beach club. The room was consistent with a luxury resort and the females in my family appreciated the high-end products in the bathroom. Eric, Giselle, & Stephanie from the front desk staff took good care of me so I wanted to shout them out. The only nitpick was that while we enjoyed the Aveoo breakfast/brunch buffet, it felt a bit pricey for what we got. I look forward to a return visit!
