“The Beach Club is a great perk for guests staying at Waldorf Astoria Monarch Beach. It’s right by the beach with plenty of seating where you can relax, enjoy the ocean views, and watch the sunset.
They provide pretty much everything you need for a beach day, including beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, bottled water, sunscreen, and even beach toys for kids. There’s also a restaurant at the club, so you can easily spend a few hours or most of the day there.The hotel provides a complimentary shuttle between the resort and the Beach Club, which makes getting there and back very convenient.
One small downside was that the beach could have been kept a little tidier. There were quite a few used towels left scattered around the sand that weren’t picked up right away.“

“We had a wonderful celebratory birthday dinner last night. The meal was outstanding and our server was the perfect balance of attentiveness and good humor. I had one of the evening's specials: grilled sea bass in beurre blanc—crispy on the outside and tender and moist on the inside. It was accompanied by perfectly prepared brocollini and potatoes. I couldn't resist the taramisu—always my favorite end to the meal. It was a delight!“

“The food? IMPECCABLE. I went with a large group of friends and we decided to try just about everything, sharing around the table. Yum! Best. Idea. Ever. The Ambiance was just as we had hoped - ideal for us to comfortably hang out and yap a bit. It was a perfectly fun and inviting atmosphere. The service? AMAZING. We had Mikey as our server. He was so fun, so attentive, so friendly. You'd think he was just one of our group. He made us feel welcome and watched over. I can't wait to come back to Salt Creek! And, Yes! We are asking for Mikey! So should you!“
