Oceano Hotel and Spa  

On California’s rugged coast in Half Moon Bay’s El Granada neighborhood, a coastal spa hotel minutes from Miramar Beach and the JV Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. Mavericks Beach, Naples Beach and Capistrano Road Beach are all a short drive away, and the San Francisco Zoo sits roughly 7 km toward the city center.

A 100-room retreat with a cozy, spa-forward vibe. Rooms come air-conditioned with fireplaces, flat-screen TVs, safes and desks, plus housekeeping on request; the property also has an elevator and staff who speak English and Spanish.

Pamper yourself at the onsite spa with massages, stay fit in the well-equipped fitness center, or pop into the hair salon and boutique shops. Complimentary wired and wireless internet, laundry, an ATM and free self-parking keep things easy — and beaches are only minutes away for sea-breeze mornings.

A business center plus conference space and meeting rooms support events, with complimentary wired and wireless internet and limo/town car service available.

An on-site restaurant serves guests, with local-cuisine breakfasts offered on weekends from 8:00 AM to noon for a fee.
