    breathtaking views
    charming staff
    private terrace
    overpriced dining
    slow service

    The views from our room were so breathtaking that I half expected a film crew to show up and start filming a romantic drama. Sipping coffee on our private terrace while watching the sunrise felt like a scene straight out of a movie, and the staff was so charming, they could probably host a masterclass in hospitality.

    Overpriced dining

    ocean-view room
    championship courses
    friendly staff
    pricey valet

    Had an amazing stay with friends! The ocean-view room was stunning, and we enjoyed great rounds of golf on both championship courses. Staff were super friendly, and the location is perfect for exploring coastal trails. Just keep in mind that valet is a bit pricey at $49, but worth it for the experience.

    Only downside was the complimentary drink at check-in. a coffee would’ve been nice instead of wine for someone like me who doesn’t drink.

    heavenly macarons
    extra outlets
    fire pit
    lacking joy food
    check-in wait

    The chefs created heavenly macarons that reminded me of those from my hometown in France, making the wait enjoyable. I appreciated the little details in the room, such as the extra outlets for charging devices and the fire pit outside the patio.

    The food at the main restaurant felt lacking in joy, especially the vegetarian menu. I had a long wait beyond check-in time that impacted our overall experience.

    stunning views
    breathtaking location
    varied staff helpfulness
    missed service expectations
    inconsistent assistance

    Stunning views from the Coastal View room made for a picturesque experience, especially while enjoying Italian cuisine on the terrace. The staff varied in helpfulness. some members truly stood out, but others missed the mark, which was disappointing. Despite this, the serene atmosphere and breathtaking location elevated the stay, creating memorable moments.

    fresh seafood
    stunning views
    local dining tips
    breakfast misunderstanding
    missed breakfast

    The seafood at The Ritz-Carlton is straight fire! Fresh fish dishes that’ll make your taste buds dance. Plus, the tips from the concierge led us to some killer local spots for lunch—totally worth it! The views from the terrace were another game changer. Pure bliss listening to the waves without a care in the world.

    One little hiccup, didn’t get the memo that the breakfast card needed our room number. Oops! Missed out on breakfast, but honestly, everything else just sparkled—can’t stay mad when you’re soaking in those stunning ocean views!

    ocean view
    relaxing atmosphere
    stunning scenery
    overpriced dining
    limited outdoor access

    The stay was fantastic, especially enjoying the stunning ocean view from my room. The relaxing atmosphere and the beautiful scenery made it a perfect escape. Exploring the coastal trails nearby added a great touch to my experience, and the local dining tips I received were spot on. However, I found the dining to be a bit overpriced, which took away from the overall value.

    breathtaking views
    thoughtful touches
    delicious food
    check-in wait
    slow service
    crowded area

    Celebrated my niece's 16th birthday at the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay. The coastal view room was stunning and perfectly set up with balloons and a s’mores kit arranged by the concierge. The staff were generally friendly, and the food we ordered through room service arrived hot and delicious. However, check-in took longer than expected, which was frustrating. We waited a while before someone helped us at the front desk. Also, the outdoor dining area felt crowded at times, and service was a bit slow. The view from the room and the overall ambiance made up for these inconveniences. A few minor hiccups didn’t overshadow the special occasion we were celebrating, but the service could definitely be improved for a seamless experience.

    golf course ocean view
    coastal atmosphere
    snack shop

    This stay was fantastic! The two gorgeous golf courses were a highlight, especially the one with amazing ocean views from every hole. We enjoyed endless rounds with plenty of spots to take in the relaxing coastal atmosphere, all while having our little dog with us.

    In my wife's opinion, a snack shop would be great for families. We found ourselves craving some late-night snacks that we couldn't easily grab without going through room service.
