I recently got married at the Monarch Cove Inn in Captiola, Ca. at the end of September. I couldn't ask for a better wedding planning experience and stay. Lonna the manager of the site was so sweet and accomidating, she helped me throughout the whole process and had amazing ideas. Our wedding turned into a whole weekend event because everyone... more

Last weekend I married the most beautiful woman on the planet at Monarch Cove Inn and there was nothing that I would change about my day or stay there. Lonna and the rest of the staff treated us like we were royalty and the normal stresses that go along with wedding planning were gone. Even though it was my own... more

I so love this location, on a serene bluff overlooking the ocean, away from busy streets, a great walk to Capitola Village. From the outside, the grounds and buildings are absolutely charming. Inside, it is another story. I have stayed here probably 5 times in 10 years and I'm pretty sure nothing has been updated in all that time. The... more

Just came back from a weekend wedding here. Some rather important inconveniences I would say. There are no shades on the windows so the bedrooms were like trying to sleep in a store window. I wound up sleeping with some underwear over my eyes to keep out the light which was really a major deterrent to a night's sleep. The... more

Since our only daughter was away at school, my husband made a reservation at Monarch Cove Inn for Mother's Day, hoping to provide me with some pleasant distraction. From the moment when Lanna graciously greeted us we felt welcomed to enjoy the property fully. We had the place to ourselves during our stay. Had we need for anything of the... more

we just got back from a visit at the Inn. And I must say we were so disappointed! Although the setting was beautiful and the weather perfect, the Inn itself was a little weird. We were shown to our 2 bedroom "suite" by Lonna. She was cordial, but seemed nervous and like she was 1000 miles away. She gave us... more

There is something to be said about a place that shows it's true face. This is a historical Victorian home that has been there since the late 18oo's. My husband and I and our two Lhasa Apso's have stayed in almost every room at the Monarch Cove, including the private Carriage House and we have no complaints. We have stayed... more

The hotel location is amazing, however the accomodations and service are certainly lacking. Our key was in an envelope tacked to the office door when we checked in at 2 PM, and that was the last we saw of any inn employees. There was hispanic man that was cleaning the room when we got there who was the same one... more
