Celebrated a 50th birthday. The hotel grounds and room are breath taking, outside bar was phenomenal, the staff were friendly and helpful, the bed was like sleeping on a cloud!! My only disappointment was the Conservatory for dinner. The tables were cramped, kids were loud, wait staff was slow to check on us, and the food was pricey and only mediocre. Had we known the food would be better in the Novigo we would have waited for a table.

Wonderful staff match the surroundings

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
Stayed here for the second time and mentioned in the reservation that it was my wife's birthday. She received special attention and gifts both from the hotel and Navio restaurant. Staff are very friendly and go out of their way to provide extra service.

very comfy and awesome view

Pros: Quiet
Gave us glass of decent wine when we checked in. Parking was a bit pricey but they don't have many options there so you are stuck with it.

Nice hotel.... But overpriced.

Pros: Quiet, beautiful setting
Cons: too expensive
The Ritz Carlton at Half Moon Bay is set in a beautiful location. The staff was helpful and very polite. The cost of valet parking ($45 per night) and the food at the restaurant ($70 for 2 egg dishes) was outrageous. The rooms were average... Quite small for the $$$. I enjoyed the large bath tub though. Overall... My suggestion would be only to stay there if you can get a great deal....don't eat at resteraunt (downtown Half Moon Bay had some wonderful places!) and park your own car.

Beautiful Hotel!

Pros: Free breakfast, Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
We got the Terrace Firepit Room and it was amazing. Overlooked the Pacific Ocean and golf course. The spa is wonderful too, we had a massage and facial there and it was absolutely wonderful. The staff was very professional and couteous. We really enjoyed our stay in the San Francisco Bay area!

Sets the standard for all Ritz-Carltons...

Absolutely stunning cliff-side inn with gorgeous views of the Pacific. The facilties were impeccible and the staff were at your beck and call. The grounds are maticulously landscaped and capture the essense of Northern California. I visited during late June and found the weather to be very cool escpecially at night. My room was so beautiful and clean, it was hard to leave it, even with the magnificent views outside beckoning me away! Half-moon Bay is quite a distance from San Fransisco and I wouldn't recommend staying here if you plan on visiting the city more than once during your stay. Otherwise, this a treat for most anyone who wishes to get away from it all or be all alone with that special someone.

Best I have ever been to.

I had my wedding here this summer and I finally realized why a Ritz Carlton is the best in the world. This hotel is by far the best I have stayed at and I have been around the world and back again. Here is what I love. THE FOOD: amazing, can i say that again, amazing. Everything i have ever eaten here was perfect, in all the restaurant and I was here for several days and had my wedding which they catered. I recommend the sunday brunch because it is the largest and best I have ever had.Then there is the view and atmosphere. Breathtaking. Some of the rooms just have amazing views of the ocean and some actually have fireplaces right out side for you to relax by your private fireplace and look at the ocean. I do not recommend kids because there is not a lot to do here for them. And lastly is the Service: outstanding. I did not know they could have service that good. I garuntee the stay you have here will be one of your best.

Absolutely Beautiful

We booked this trip as a long weekend getaway, once we got there, we wished we could have booked it for a longer stay. The property is just beautiful, the views from our room were amazing. We will definately be back soon!

Will be going back!

This hotel is everything you would expect from a Ritz Carlton. The location on the beach is breathtaking and you are waited on hand and foot upon arrival (with a glass of wine no less). Beware the dry cleaning, it's expensive and they ruined one of my husband's shirts. Beautiful rooms and the resort fee is completely worth the use of all ameneties.
