It's a scenic setting that influenced the hotel's architecture, which resembles a seaport oasis. Guests may be tempted to linger on their suites' private balconies to take in the scenery or the harbor's famous sunsets, but there are plenty of nearby adventures to take advantage of as well. Bike along the coast or get your feet wet on a surfing or kayaking excursion.

Half Moon Bay, California: Coastal Town near Silicon Valley and San Francisco

Half Moon Bay is a rural seaside town about 30 miles south of San Francisco. Its Main Street is lined with buildings that date back to the 19th century. Wealth from nearby Silicon Valley has given new life to many of those buildings, which now house art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants serving seasonal fare and wines from local vineyards.

Many of Half Moon Bay’s attractions can be found along its gorgeous coastline. At Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, small pools fill up along the shore at low tide, revealing hermit crabs and starfish amid the sandy coves and monterey cypress trees. Another favorite spot is the 4-mile-long Half Moon Bay State Beach.

The Oceano was very comfortable, we had a Deluxe King Suite with a fireplace and a balcony overlooking the Harbor. The room was very clean and peaceful. We will definitely be back.

The room was comfortable and larger than expected. I had a nice view of the harbor and could loved hearing the water and harbor sounds. There were plenty of places to eat within walking distance of the hotel. Great stay!

Nice clean hotel with nice amenities. The view from the balcony overlooking the harbor/ocean is spectacular. The staff is very friendly and professional. We always enjoy ourselves when we stay here.

Luxury resort felt like an assisted living facility I was expecting a luxury resort experience but our stay was reminiscent of an overnighter at a retirement/assisted living facility. We checked in and the front desk agent was friendly but didn't tell us she had "upgraded" us to a different room than what I booked. To me, an upgrade means a better room. Not in this case. We were given room 116 which is a handicapped room the ground floor just down the hall from the lobby. Handicapped bars all over the bathroom and the handicapped shower stool was very off putting. The table in the sitting area only had one chair, allowing a wheelchair to roll up and park itself at the table too I assume. While I certainly appreciate these wheelchair accessible modifications and accommodations for the handicapped or elderly, I do not enjoy staying in a room like this on holiday. It's depressing and a foreshadowing that offends me when I'm trying to enjoy a vacation in my present good health. Most importantly, these rooms should be kept available for people that actually need these accommodations. And when you're given a different room than what you booked because the "fireplace didn't work" I think you should make sure the guest is comfortable with the room switch and that it's not actually a downgrade. Also there were no bathrobes provided which is an expectation of a resort and spa hotel. I was disappointed and would not stay here again for what we paid.

The Oceano Hotel in Half Moon Bay, California is my go -to place for R&R The Oceano Hotel in Half Moon Bay is my go-to place for relaxation and regeneration. As you arrive and check in, the hotel calls for you to relax with its welcoming check in staff, its beach themed public Great Room and its cozy and comfortable rooms with their fireplaces and balconies overlooking the HMB harbor. Once in place, you find yourself at the trailhead of a delightful 10-mile beach and cliff walk along the ocean which you can access simply by walking out the door. Plus, there are many great forest trails in easy walking distance and lots of convivial pubs and restaurants close by. Oceano Hotel is a true gem on the San Mateo Coast.
