We stayed for two nights to celebrate our anniversary. The property is beautiful, and every staff member we encountered was friendly and welcoming—the service was definitely the highlight of our stay.
That said, at roughly $1,400 per night, we expected a much higher level of luxury. The overall experience felt closer to a nice Hyatt or Hilton than what we anticipated from a Ritz-Carlton. Dining options on the property were also limited. Our meal was good, but it was the most expensive and least memorable meal of our trip, so we chose to eat elsewhere for the remainder of our stay.
We enjoyed our visit, but the experience didn’t justify the price.
Bagpipe performance was great.
The weather was perfect for walks on the ocean trail which was well maintained. The food and property were great as well.
Wonderful stay. Everything - from the room to the amenities to the food to the golfing to the scenery to the staff - was amazing. My boyfriend also got a wonderful dessert each day of our stay for his birthday. Highly recommend! We will be back soon.
Stunning property with exceptional service. Justin at the front reception was extremely helpful with all my requests. Joellen made our dining experience memorable. The food was delicious and the views amazing.
The property and rooms were beautiful. The room service menu was very limited especially because all the dining options were luxury. There didn't feel like there was a casual restaurant or coffee shop on site unless I missed it. I also would have expected someone to help us with our lugguge upon arrival-a true bell hop-but the arrival was just OK. It would be great if they offered a golf cart for guests who are down in the rooms by the tennis courts. Otherwise, stunning property.
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.
The Ocean view and the golf course view were fantastic. The walking trail is also nice. Golfers have access to Half Moon Bay Golf Links golf courses. The Ocean course is enjoyable.
