The grounds are beautiful and plenty of trails. The dining, shops, and activities around the resort are limited. A rental car is a must when staying at the hotel any length of time.

It’s rare for me to think a $1k / night rate for a hotel is worth it but with this Ritz property, I felt like it was a bargain. Had the ocean view room, no balcony for the basic one but regardless was incredible. I am excited to go back and try a different room. The staff were helpful and present at all hours.

Aging but still great

Wonderful service, comfortable room and fabulous location. But the overall facilities seemed to be aging. Probably could achieve a more reasonable price.

Some positives: Registration clerk and dining room staff were excellent. All the scenic views were incredible! Some negatives: Parking guard was not very welcoming, and when we asked a housekeeper for directions to her room, she was very unfriendly. For dine-in room service, we ordered two items. It took over an hour, and they only brought one of the two items, as one was forgotten. The shampoo dispenser was broken, so we had to unscrew the top to get shampoo. The shower head had low pressure. Expected better, especially for $1700 for one night’s stay.

8/10 Very good

The location, scenery, golf access, and service were phenomenal. The food needs to be better, especially for the price. The rooms need an upgrade as amenities are not representative of the Ritz Carlton brand (no USB outlets, no mini bar, finishes are dated, etc…). Half Moon Bay is extraordinary and I will return but the hotel is stuck in the year 2000

8/10 Very good

The shower head was old and didn’t drip well. They had an unaccounted for hair dryer because we had none during our stay. I received an email from their staff accusing me of it being missing. Once I called them, then they were apologetic. That doesn’t change the fact that it was ridiculous to try to accuse me Menu food options are very limited in the inside and outside restaurants. Regular staff was very nice. My server was a very nice lady. Bagpipe player was amazing Views from my room were amazing
