Half Moon Bay Lodge

Half Moon Bay Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"A very nice place to stay. The room was clean as well as the premises. One of the best free continental breakfast we’ve had. The walk to the beach takes 15 mins. Once on the coast, walk on the beach and to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. We drove into town and had dinner at Nano’s Ohana Cafe (in the back patio), mixed plate is the best! Strolling Main St after eating was nice, lots of shopping."
