Marriott's Monarch at Sea Pines

Very pretty resort. However, I was disappointed that they don’t serve alcohol and they don’t have any food for sale except for snacks to get a meal or a drink. You have to go next-door to the sea Pines resort.

We come to Hilton head often. We almost exclusively stay at Marriott. This is our first day at the Marriott Monarch.

We are not disappointed.
There's so many activities to do. No matter what age kid you have. I have two teens right now and they loved all the activities.
Giant, chess games, billiards, foosball, air hockey. And let's not forget the pool. Cornhole shuffleboard, fire pits and of course it's on the beach.
And a really large hot tub with a waterfall.

Bike rentals are $25 a day. I think if you do multiples days you get a discount.
We drove here and brought our bikes, but two of our bikes had some issues so we decided to rent.
Plenty of parking for bikes that make sure you lock them up. Looks like everyone does.
They have bikes of all different kinds, little kids, bikes, bikes, with wagons on the back, etc.

Ride your bags down to Harbor town or salty dog it's quite fun. You can ride on the beach or on the trails. The trails are wonderful because they are pretty much completely flat and shaded.

They even had a paint and sip activity for 20 and under and they served mock Alice and they painted.
They had other activities, but that's the only one that my teens participated in.

There was live music the first night we were there and he was really good. We were his only audience.

We stayed in a two bedroom with the kitchen so that we could cook meals.
The bathrooms were good. The bedrooms were good size plenty of room. Six people could sleep in there very easily.
There is a washer and dryer.

More than enough, cooking equipment, utensils, and plates and cups.
The amenities that they were coffee and tea with cream and sugar and washing up chemicals for the dishwasher.

No need to bring shampoo and conditioner and body soap. It's already in the shower.

We thought it was really quiet, we were on the fifth floor.

There is a fitness center here as well as a small convenience store with ridiculous prices, but it is what it is.

There are cubbies all around outside for you to put your beach chairs and beach toys if you want so you don't have to drag them to your room.
They supply you with green and white towel (2 per person).
There was a safe in one of the closets and a long, full length mirror in one of the closets with just a couple of hangers, it probably could use more hangers. There were way more closets and dressers than we actually needed.
It seems there's way more storage here than you would need unless you were living here full-time... count me in!
if you're on the fence about where to say, I definitely recommend this place. This end of the island is not as busy so the beach is not as packed.

Despite arriving way too early for our reservation... the staff have been very accommodating. The facilities are beautiful, clean, well maintained and we've had everything we've needed to enjoy a much needed family vacation. We will definitely be back!

We thoroughly enjoyed this quiet resort in the off season. The staff was helpful and had a smile and a friendly greeting at every encounter from the front desk to the grounds keepers.

This was our 6th stay in HHI, but first stay at the Monarch. Great location, nice facilities, pools were clean and everything was well maintained. Staff was all friendly, and we did not encounter any dogs at the resort as others have complained.
