The hotel

Restored to its 1888 glory, and registered in the National Trust Historic Hotels of America, this Moorish castle-like landmark is a very special place to stay. With authentic period features and decor, you really will feel like you have taken a step back into yesteryear. This hotel was the hang-out of aristocracy and royalty; inside, it's all tapestries, velvet and chandeliers, with top-class dining and discreet service. It's in the heart of the Historic District, where you'll find boutiques, antique shops, museums and more. The Poseidon Spa is a great addition to this luxurious hotel and provides the perfect place for some relaxation and pampering. If the hotel itself isn't already enough, you've got access to the private Serenata Beach Club on pristine Ponte Vedra Beach, which is just a 15 minute drive away. Enjoy a day on the beach with your toes in the St Augustine coquina sand, or splashing around in the family pool before an oceanfront dinner.

My sister and I stayed here for the first time and the experience was great! The hotel is located walking distance to downtown. The bridge into town is under construction so we had to take a detour which led us through some very pretty residential neighborhoods. The rooms at the hotel are very clean, beds are comfortable, and breakfast is good. The best thing about this place is the friendly staff. We were greeted by a wonderful young man named Jesse, who parked our car and made us feel very welcome. We were looking for a place for dinner and took his recommendations to eat at the nearby Iceplant restaurant and a taco place for lunch the next day.  Both were fantastic. The front desk staff was also very welcoming. I will stay here again. Read less

Gabriel, Bryce and everyone else working at the Casa Monica was incredible! What a beautiful hotel and convenient to almost everything. We parked when we got here and then walked for the next 3 days, it was that close to everything. Highly recommend!

Want to say upfront that our massage therapists were fantastic, so this rating is not reflective of them. However, this is definitely not a luxury spa experience and the pricing is hard to justify for what’s offered. The “locker room” is essentially just a bathroom, there are no real spa amenities, and the only additional facility is a standard hotel pool. There was no relaxing or elevated atmosphere at all. The front desk staff also felt cold and inconvenienced by basic questions, which added to the overall disappointment. The massages themselves were good, but overall this felt more like a hotel add-on than an actual spa experience — especially at these prices. Read less
