Fantastic resort!

The Half Moon is an absolutely beautiful mega resort - 2 miles of coastline, 400 acres of lush grounds. When we checked in we were upgraded to a full ocean view suite just steps from the beach. The staff is incredibly friendly and the service was exceptional throughout the resort. No matter what you ask them, they always respond "No problem". The food in all of the restaurants is excellent. There are numerous on-site activities, including golf, water sports, horseback riding, bike riding, a beautiful spa, dolphin lagoon, tennis, weekly beach BBQ, etc. The fitness center needs to be updated and expanded as does the main pool, and there is not a lot of nightlife at the resort or in Montego Bay, other than than that the resort is close to perfect. My tips for fellow travelers are to avoid the town of Montego Bay, it's very seedy and you're accosted by street vendors; be forewarned that taxi's are extremely expensive, plan to pay a minimum of $50 roundtrip to go anywhere off the resort; if you are traveling with a family, check out the villas which are staffed with a cook, butler and housekeeper.

Nice property

I love the homey feel of the cottages. I was fortunate because my room was upgraded when I arrived at the property. The staff was very friendly and helpful. My suite was nice, clean and close to the beach. I plan to visit again really soon. I will most definitely recommend it to my friends.
