We stayed 5nts over New Years.
the property is beautiful, but we found no additional recognition of Amb level guests. At checkin, no upgrade even though better suites than what we booked were available. The front desk clerk specifically said "oh, yes, but we are busy and might book those".
we stayed in one of the cottage suites with the ocean views. Only thing to watch for is there are no elevators, so we had to call back to the front desk to get assistance with our bags up the steps to the upper floor. The plus is you can self park in front of the buildings, so much quicker to get in/out of the property.
food was amazing. We ordered room service one night and it was very pleasant. We had New Years Eve dinner at the Conservatory. It was clear my Amb's questions about dietary restrictions had been communicated, as the server immediately started pointing out things and offered to check with the chef without us even having asked first.
the property is isolated, so a bit of a white knucle drive into Half Moon Bay on the dark winding wooded highway.
lots of restaurants within 15mins drive
