Having stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Toronto 2 weeks before, the Ritz in Half Moon Bay was shabby and slightly run down in comparison. Location is great, overlooking the sea. My room was nice enough - not fantastic. Bed was very soft, which I don't particularly like. Would I dash back here? No, unlikely.

Staying at the resort was such a treat. Rooms are elegant, quite and clean. The view from the property is stunning. I enjoyed having cocktails outside by the firepit looking out over the bay at sunset. Staff is as expected at the Ritz Carlton, friendly and helpful. The draw back with the hotel is that it is pretty isolated and... More

This was one of the finest hotels I've stayed in (and I am a frequent traveler). From check-in to checkout, I was treated as an honored guest. Everything I needed was provided. The hotel itself is beautiful, with excellent amenities and a caring staff. I couldn't be happier with my experience.

Prior to our visit, I contacted the concierge (Kelli) for advice on restaurants, shopping in the Half Moon Bay area. We must have exchanged 20 emails, and she never got tired of my questions! How great is that? She helped us locate a liquor store that was open on a Sunday (our arrival day). She made suggestions and sent links.... More

Truly enjoyed our recent 3 night stay in an oceanfront firepit room. The view was spectacular. The private firepit was such a nice treat including eating smores! The decor of both the hotel and rooms is not opulent but upscale comfortable. The large patio with the multiple firepits, seating areas and gazebo has an incredible view of the 18th green... More

The Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay sits on the shoreline. The views from this location are spectacular. We were there for a conference for a couple of days, and wish we could have spent more time at this hotel. Service from the staff was at five star level. Here's hoping you get the opportunity to stay at the Ritz-Carlton -... More

Very nice location along cliffs just south of the town of Half Moon Bay. The service is very good. Check in could use a bit more staff during the busy times but they do have a nice can do attitude at the front desk. The common areas are a bit small but are adequate. The gym is open 24 hours...

I got the romance package for $790 for a night. Way too much money. Just get their cheapest room. The hotel is very nice. Service was great. The room was fine. The beach/cliffs were cool. Their patio excellent. But, the value wasn't there. I thought the breakfast was OK at best, but it was a fortune. $6.50 for a glass... More

My boyfriend finished off a 10 day California trip with 3 nights at Half Moon Bay. We ended up arriving a day early and they were very accomodating and had a room available for us. We had reserved a ocean front fire pit room and it was lovely. We spent hours relaxing in the sun, watching the golfers and the... More

For my husbands birthday, decided to surprise him with a "luxury oceanfront suite" at the Ritz Carlton at Half Moon bay. Booked through Capitol One rewards program. Rate was $1,200 a night. OK, steep...but it was his birthday! This was the best room, other than the presidential suite, supposedly. We left our car with the valet, and went to check... More
