Nothing short of Spectacular! This property's location is nested in the hills and bluff overlooking the beautiful ocean and front row to some sporty golf. The beating heart of the hotel is the team of people working together to make everything go smoothly. Everyone from the front desk and bell staff, the kitchen and maintenance, high effort and flawless results. Thank you for making it a great stay!

Super fantastic experience at the Waldorf Astoria Monarch! What brings me to write this review is the service from the front desk. The service and attitude from the Front desk, especially their Front Desk Manager Allison, makes me feel that I am a really valuable and important customer to them. I want to say thank you to her for taking care of us. This is my second time back here this year. Check-in was friendly and also provided me a complimentary upgrade to the fireside terrace room, which was super worth for the night! Although the room is not ready until 5pm, it didn't actually interrupt our plan since we were enjoying our time on the beach. Actually, I didn't contact front desk to ask why our room was not ready at that time. But the front desk called me later around 8pm and apologized for the delay of check-in. She also provided me late check-out for the next day and some food & beverage credit for this stay. And this is not the end, Allison also called me again next day around noon to send her apology again. She wanted to make sure that we were having a good time here and welcomed us to come back again. Our family really enjoyed the stay and had a great time for this weekend. Food is delicious, View is perfect, Service is Excellent. I will definitely come back again!

Service is a 20/10. They upgraded us to a suite free of charge, then apologized profusely for having the room ready 30 minutes late and offered us a 3pm checkout and comped our dinner the night before. The valet is very friendly and helpful. Food is good. Beach club is unparalleled. We had the best time and can’t wait to be back!

From the moment we arrived, everything about the Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach was pure perfection. The staff was warm, professional, and attentive without being overbearing. The resort itself is absolutely stunning, lush grounds, breathtaking ocean views, and beautifully appointed rooms that strike the perfect balance between luxury and comfort. Dining options were top-notch, especially the oceanfront restaurant where every meal felt like a special occasion. The private beach club access was a major highlight, with impeccable service and a peaceful, exclusive vibe. The spa and pool areas were equally impressive and made relaxation effortless. Whether you’re here for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or just to unwind, this hotel delivers an unforgettable experience on every level. Can’t wait to come back.
