My stay at the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay was truly memorable, featuring excellent ocean views and a relaxing atmosphere. The cleanliness and spaciousness of the rooms made for a comfortable experience, though the dining options could be more varied. The staff was incredibly attentive and the available outdoor activities were a highlight. One downside was the parking fee, which felt steep for self-parking. Overall, it’s a beautiful spot for a peaceful getaway.
