The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay

Absolutely stunning and magnificent property. All services excellent. Attentive staff. Rooms, restaurants, walking trails, spa are all first rate. Clearly a 5 star resort. Yes, however, whoops on the pricing. Now don't get me wrong, I'm a CEO with an American Express Black card, so I understand business much better than the average bear 🤔There comes a time in the life of any business when prices charged, because they can be, become not just high, but predatory. That is this resort. Prices on everything are astronomical - truly absurd with no rational cost basis at all. I've been in 30 counties in the past 5 years and prices here are above anywhere else in the world. It would appear that being 15 miles from silicon valley and Palo Alto has empowered the resort to charge prices best suited for Great Gatsby billionaires for whom prices are of no concern. Sure keeps the "average" folks out 😂

While the location of the property is beautiful, there really is no reason to stay here unless you plan on golfing. There is nothing to do in the surrounding areas and with only two restaurants on property, with one being a 'tasting menu' arrangement, ther are not enough food options. Staff not up to Ritz standards and check in was a disaster. 4 diamonds might be a stretch AAA. Valet guys were great!

Legacy, tradition, and world-class hospitality thrive at this magnificent property. Over the years, we have had the privilege of staying at this property not once, but twice, and both times have been marvelous. Nestled in the quiet beach town of Half Moon Bay, this particular Ritz-Carlton exudes class and exclusivity. Their staff is of the caliber one would expect from this world-class brand, as they leave no stone unturned in their pursuit to deliver a guest experience comparable to the finest hotels of Europe and Asia. We can't wait to return next year. Thank you, Zenon and Anya, for making our little boy's birthday so special. Aloha

The hotel itself is beautiful and has plenty of luxury touches, but the service left us with mixed feelings. While the concierge was quite helpful and attentive, the front desk staff didn’t make us feel like valued guests. There were noticeable inconsistencies in staff communications and service quality, which took away from the overall experience. With so many luxury options available, we enjoyed our visit but aren't sure we’d return.

Our experience at the Ritz Carlton Half Moon Bay has never been dissapointing. thanks to the warm reception by the courteous staff. Our clean and well appointed room featuring an ocean view highlights the natural beauty of Half Moon Bay. The restaurant serves delicious food paired with a well curated selection of wine, while the staff provide friendly and attentive service. The stunning views create a tranquil athmosphere, making our stay truly unforgettable. We appriciate the exceptional service from all staff members. We look forward to returning.
