Where to propose on the property
If you want an outdoor moment, the Monster Golf Club Gazebo Venue provides a small, scenic ceremony site with mountain views suitable for intimate proposals or vow renewals. The resort lists the gazebo specifically as a wedding/ceremony option.
For an indoor surprise with a dramatic backdrop, consider a private moment near the indoor pool atrium or Butterfly Beach Bar (note: Butterfly Beach Bar requires guests to be 21+). Concierge staff can advise about quieter hours and privacy options.
