"Thank you so very much for the great time I had at my Monarch Staycation. I can tell that you put a lot of time & effort into the schedule to give me a great feeling of what Monarch is all about. The food was wonderful. The servers are the best I’ve ever seen, especially Josh, Thursday dinner server. He anticipated all our needs, offering other options for my granddaughter because she is allergic to dairy. The Spanish Tapas dinner with music was wonderful as was the “Cruisin’ with the Loop” concert. When my granddaughter was put into her car seat she said that she wanted to go back “there” (Monarch} instead of going home. Looks like she really enjoyed herself. Thank you, again. Paula" - Paula…
