Our housekeeper Winsome Powell is great and very hospitable. The butler Prince Hill is very good, very pleasant person to deal with and very helpful. We want to... More

My daughter had heard from friends that Half Moon is a perfect place for a destination wedding. I (and my wallet) were skeptical. She won me over with the argument that the villas at Half Moon would mean that families and friends would have a place to relax over a period of time rather than forcing all of the wedding... More

My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful 5 night stay at Half Moon last week. We stayed in a beach front suite just steps from the beach. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and well appointed. All staff we encountered at the resort were friendly and professional. The resort was fairly quiet during our visit due to our early May... More

We had a great time! Make sure you get the meal plan it is worth it. Hanging out on the beach was private and relaxing. The beach is not necessarily the best for swimming. The sand is course and not really that great between the toes. There is a rock line about 20 yards off shore almost lining the entire... More

Great location (15 minutes to Montego Bay Airport). Both the rooms and property are very well kept. The staff members always had a smile on their face, and were very courteous and professional.

Half Moon is definitely for the discerning traveler who wants to experience the Caribbean in general and Jamaica in Particular. Opulence, 5 star service and amenities. Marriage and Honeymoon spot like none other.
