Our Take: The palatial Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay's jaw-dropping setting atop sea cliffs along the Pacific Coast is hard to beat. But the exceptional service is what has most travelers talking. Recent guests are overflowing with compliments: From the congenial front desk staff to the spa therapists, from the refined cuisine to the golf courses, nearly every feature of this Ritz is praised by visitors. Through the concierge you can book surf lessons, bird watching excursions, bike rides, Segway tours, horseback riding, and even whale watching. Families like to take advantage of the Ritz Kids Day Program, which includes trips to the beach, as well as movies and s'mores at the fire pit.
