The Ritz Carleton Half Moon Bay has 52 suites that allow pets, $125 pet fee (nonreturnable), and the pet amenities include a dog bed, bowls and treats… it is a beautiful hotel with exquisite service.

Check-in was a breeze and includes a glass of wine (which I declined) but it was a very nice touch. The valet guy was very sweet and a dog lover and did not mind being enthusiastically greeted by Cici…. The staff are super friendly towards both humans and dogs.

Our lovely suite had a firepit outside on a patio overlooking the golf course and gorgeous beach view… with a telescope inside the living room part of the suite, so you could see near and far as well as a fireplace, two bathrooms (water closets as they say in Europe), jacuzzi tub, as well as shower, and was beautifully decorated.

There was an amazing chocolate sculpture on the desk, which I thought was art and made out of candle wax until I tasted it and found out it was the delicious blissful stuff I love. My tummy was not up to par but it was an amazing gift along with a bottle of wine.

Pets are not allowed in the lobby, on the golf course (except off hours), and food places.

This is a gorgeous place for a Girlfriends Getaway… grab your gal pals and go get spa treatments, massages, go shopping, fine wining and dining, relax by the pool, play with your pooch(es), play golf and more.
