If you haven't found anything to your liking in our Valentine's Day free-for-all, why not try the Ritz-Carlton Half Moon Bay. The AAA 5 Diamond resort on the Northern California coast resembles a Nantucket style lodge smack on the Pacific Ocean. The location is picture perfect for a resort and a lovely Arthur Hills designed golf course. If couples golf isn't your thing, you could spend the day being pampered in the 16,000 sq ft spa.

But since you are here to get together, the hotel has some special things planned for February 14th. The restaurant, Navio, will feature a 4 course, wine paired menu featuring Mushroom Crusted Ahi Tuna and Butter Poached Lobster. If the dining room didn't fill you, a chocolate buffet will be available for your over-indulgence. Of all the goings on at the resort, my favorite is the Rose Champagne Flight. In the 5,000 bottle wine room, this is a oenophiles dream come true. Complete with chocolate covered strawberries, you and your mate can sample a fine selection of Rose Champagne till your heart's content. Make sure your suite has fireplace to get things heated up!
