Good news: A great location for a hotel. Fantastic ocean views. But the Marriott mindset is just stamped all over it. You know they got it wrong the moment you walk the corridors, they are too narrow for a "real Ritz" and the major corridors are the same width as the others, making navigation hard. The walls are pretty thin,... More

We stayed at the Ritz for three days, wow, what a gorgeous place! The view and location is spectacular. We had the privilege of the club lounge with all great food and drink throughout the days. The service was top notch in every area at the hotel. Be sure to walk the beach for sea glass, which is the most... More

We absolutely loved our experience at the Ritz Carlton HMB. It was our first time away from the kids in 5 years and decided to take some time for ourselves. The rate we paid was $285 for a courtyard view but were upgraded to an ocean house/ocean view room (wow, how awesome was that?!) and the room was excellent and... More

Went on the golf package this past weekend to the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay. The location is very scenic and our room was very nice but a bit on the small side. The staff was all very helpful except for the guy who checked us in. He had an attitude and was not the least bit friendly. Food was... More

Was looking for a nice hotel near the water that was available last minute for the Memorial Day weekend and this was just ticket. It was so relaxing and beautiful. A great stay. Really enjoyed the Club level from a room perspective, it was beautiful, a view perspective, and a bang for your buck perspective (they constantly had nice snacks... More

I stayed for two nights on business/conference. As I have experienced at other Ritz Carlton properties, the staff was top notch; very attentive, polite and friendly. Conference meals were very good as was the lunch I had on my own. My room seemed a bit smaller than those I've had at other Ritz Carlton's and while lovely compared to most... More

This is a great property to spend a weekend, but even if you are heading elsewhere up or down the coast, visit here for an hour or two. Take a walk, then enjoy the spectacular scenery from the adirondack chairs at the outdoor lounge and order a hot toddy! Watch the golfers, and ask for a blanket if it gets... More

This was the perfect storm of PERFECTION! Granted the perfect weather was really rare on the weekend we were there for a wedding, no fog & not cold, only needed a light sweater on our stroll on the golf course path down to a sheltered beach. We watched the rugged coast at an early dinner by the window. My husband... More

My husband and I stayed at the Ritz-Carlton for two nights earlier this month as part of a last-minute staycation (as we live in SF). We settled on an ocean view room with a private fire pit and drove on down. The room itself is small - only about 450 square feet - and somewhat underwhelming for the very expensive... More
