Family-friendly hotels in Half Moon Bay (3)

The splurge option: a cliff-top resort above the Pacific that family-travel reviewers (Ciao Bambino, Resort Chasers) rate as genuinely family-friendly despite the luxury price tag.

Hacienda-style coastside value: heated outdoor pool and hot tub with a fireplace lounge, complimentary breakfast with Peet's coffee, fire pits for evening s'mores energy, minutes from the Coastal Trail and beaches.

All-suite boutique hotel across from the harbor - 500+ sq ft junior suites with a separate living area, microwave and fridge, so there's room for the pack-n-play and the snack stash.
