Montana TriplettAugust 15, 2014Service is, of course, impeccable. Views are amazing. For some childlike fun get a s'mores kit. The marshmallows are divine. Still have a sweet tooth? Order the brown butter ice cream. Life changing!Upvoted Dec 21, 2024
VasiliSeptember 3, 2015Wonderful views, right on the ocean, beautiful sunsets and evening fires. Nice rooms and attentive service. A slice of heaven on earth. Enjoyed the local wine collections and beds were comfortable.
They sell cigars at the bar. It is cheaper to visit Bay Books in town though and buy some there. Pick up s'mores stuff at Safeway and you will make lots of friends at the fire pits!Upvoted 3 weeks ago
The Ritz-CarltonOctober 26, 2016Pumpkins are not only a tasty treat;they also nourish the skin. The Spa offers a Pumpkin Facial; utilizing mask which is high in beta carotene, vitamins A&C,leaving the skin smooth,plump and hydrated.
- The Ritz-CarltonSeptember 19, 2016Don't miss the painted pony as you arrive to Half Moon Bay. Every season it gets a new design and welcome guests to the city. You can even submit your own design for the horse.
- The Ritz-CarltonMay 6, 2016On the weekend, book a Guided Segway Tour that travels along the Coastal Trail which runs parallel to the Pacific Ocean and offers sweeping views of the surf and Northern California coast.
RexApril 12, 2018Amazing views of the beach. There are a few parking spots about a 15 minute walk away (along the golf course). Definitely worth stopping by if you’re in Half Moon Bay for a day trip- The Ritz-CarltonAugust 9, 2016Treat your taste buds to a seasonal home-grown cocktail in The Conservatory featuring fresh herbs such as thyme, basil and rosemary from the Growing Wall.
Glow IngFebruary 4, 2014Amazing place. The location and service was fantastic. If you can afford it it's a must go to spot. Get a room with a private fire pit! Consider staying for more than just 1 day.- The Ritz-CarltonDecember 14, 2016There are endless activities around Half Moon Bay, ask the concierge about how you can explore the Coastal Trail via bike or segway.
Juston PayneDecember 27, 2018If you're staying here: (1) all guests can use the spa's soaking pools and saunas. Enter through locker rooms (2) refill your welcome wine at the front desk until 10p.- The Ritz-CarltonSeptember 19, 2016Visit Cork and feel like you’ve stepped into an exclusive tasting room. Our Sommelier will create a tasting exclusively for you.
Caroline DengAugust 9, 2015Beach views are perfect. Grab some afternoon tea and go down for a walk by the beach! It's a little windy so make sure to bring a sweater.- The Ritz-CarltonJune 15, 2017Reserve bikes at The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay to ride along the stunning coastal trail to the beaches below.
- The Ritz-CarltonAugust 29, 2016Our Spa is the only place to experience a Tatcha Crystal Luminous Facial; it is an ultra-hydrating and firming facial that uses centuries-old Japanese beauty techniques.
Jonathan AdamsNovember 3, 2015Great Coastal Trail run... But you'll have to get creative since it's kinda short. (Don't think just doing it 2x will cut it)
When staying at a hotel, call down to the operator or front desk as early as possible on the morning of your check-out day for a late check out. You might get to extend by 30 min to 2 hours.
Brian TippensFebruary 13, 2016One of my favorite places in the world. Very professional, courteous staff; great facility, and some of the most beautiful ocean views in Northern California.- If you're a hotel guest, you can use the spa facilities at any time for free without getting a treatment (massage, etc.)
- The Ritz-CarltonOctober 16, 2015Arrive early to get a seat and watch the sunset over the Pacific while listening to the bagpipe player.
Bloomberg TVJune 10, 2013Life is good for man's best friend at the Ritz Carlton. The hotel's Doggie Room Service menu includes Bow Wow Meatballs and Rice, Canine Casseroles, and home-baked bone shaped biscuits.
Scrooge-y on validating valet parking. While Navio lunch, brunch (one of most expensive in whole Bay area) or dinner covers the whole thing, having breakfast will only cover half, ie, still pay 10 USD
Bre LambertAugust 19, 2014Escape the city & sip wine by the fire pit w/ ocean views. Tell the gate attendant you're there for the coastal access & save yourself the $20 valet fee.- Bloomberg TVJune 16, 2013Welcome to The Next Big Thing, convening influencers in tech, science & data to examine how innovation is changing the human experience.

- The Ritz usually charges $10 for parking on weekends. Occasionally they charge $20. Get your ticket validated if you eat a meal inside. If you have an expensive car they often will park it free.
VernaJuly 21, 2014Upgrade to a room with a fire pit patio leading to the ocean to take full advantage of this gorgeous property
Sashy RichmondJuly 13, 2013I love their classic eggs benedict! Also... you should book a main floor room with a balcony and a firepit!
Kursad AlbayraktarogluJune 3, 2020Beautiful views and excellent service. Great choice for a quick day trip when you're in San Francisco.
Danielle NeufeldOctober 8, 2012Thursday night jazz & inexpensive dinners in the Conservatory are great for locals. Valet parking is free with validation from the restaurant.
Al B.August 3, 2015Not very great for tourists for stopping by. No where to park and get a view! But if you have a wedding or stay here, will be amazing.
DaeHa ParkDecember 17, 2015Good place to take short walk, seeing great ocean beach and sun moving.. take panorama shot for the memory..:)
The resort has dog friendly rooms but bring your own dog bed if you have a regular size dog.
- The Ritz-CarltonMay 24, 2016Concierge Tip: Rent a bike and enjoy a peaceful picnic along the coastal trail.
Andrew McIntireOctober 19, 2010The men's (and presumably the ladies') locker rooms are a great place to get a soak and unwind in the sauna. Hot tub, jump in the cold soak, then 15 minutes in the steam room. Heavenly.
Birgitta KoehlerJuly 7, 2012If you are not a hotel guest you can still get wifi free. When it asks for your name you can type in any name and you will be granted access.
Make sure to check out the hot chocolate bar outside at night! Tons of toppings available!- Lorraine VailOctober 2, 2014Call Borsini-Burr Gallery for an appointment. Phone Dianne Borsini-Burr Direct : 650-302-2049 (22 Miles South of S.F. & 7 Miles North of H.M.B.)
Kyungdo KimSeptember 23, 2013Cooler temperature, wonderful seashore, perfect accommodation, what I 'd like to be there once again..
Stefanie WITTEAugust 23, 2014At 4 pm the chocolate bar opens. Take a dark hot chocolate and enjoy the ocean view from the terrace
- The pool rocks. Bring your suit! Two hot pools and lanes for serious swimming. Exercise room upstairs and sauna too!
andrea melloOctober 14, 2012breath taking view. if you're heading north or south, just stop for a drink at the bar and enjoy ;)
StephanyNovember 4, 2011Drink a glass of Cabernet by the fire overlooking the bay spooned up underneath the blankets the Ritz provides :-)
- Never pick up any golf balls you find. You're actually on a golf course and will piss off the golfers if you do.
Lina GonzoNovember 17, 2012Allergy people can relax. Once your condition is on your Guest Profile, the Ritz remembers this information at all locations. Whew!
Jerad HillApril 10, 2011The sunsets are to die for. Fire pits to keep you warm and the most cozy beds allowed south of heaven.
