Make it a "Green Getaway" at the Oceano Hotel & Spa, Half Moon Bay, CA

While the Oceano Hotel & Spa’s “walk everywhere” location, chic guest suites, and new Coastal Spa are everything you could want in a vacation getaway on the coast - an impressive feature of this Half Moon Bay, CA resort property is that they are the “only full service hotel in San Mateo County to be certified by the San Mateo County’s Green Buisness Program.” 

Now “being green” does not mean one needs to sacrifice luxury - in fact some of the “eco-friendly”  touches such as the Oceano’s organic Bamboo bed linens and all-organic custom spa treatments  made me feel quite indulgent!  Get the CA Insider’s Guide to Princeton-By-The-Sea and the Oceano Hotel & Spa now On-Demand below -which recently aired primetime Bay Area wide on California Living:
