The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Went for our honeymoon. Had a fantastic time. I ordered a charcuterie board to our room. After we arrived we went to our room dropped off our bags and walked around the property with some drinks. When we came back to the room there was chocolate covered strawberries, the charcuterie board and a bottle of champagne. The champagne and strawberries were on the house. It may be a small thing, but it was very special."
