We had a quick get away at Half Moon. The place is not for a budget travelers. We enjoyed light crowds during the week and privacy of our cottage #6. East side of the property has outgoing construction but It didn’t affect our stay there. Nice pool, comfortable bed, clean room and excellent staff are reasons for coming back. We wish there were more restaurants on the property but food was great! We had an issue with water supply but I think it’s a common problem in Caribbean. If you decide to venture off property it’s advisable to hire a driver through the hotel. We did. Ask for Dalton!!!! We would like to come back after the expansion is completed !!!!
Wonderful--we have been there 9 times---what more do I need to say
This is a really nice hotel. I do wish it had an all inclusive package. However, will definitely return and stay.
Hotel is outstanding. The staff very helpful and pleasant. My only complaint was the hotel shop personnel was not freindly and had an attitude. I don't think they are part if the hotel. A shame.
The property sits on a beautiful beach. The service and staff were very accommodating. Someone came around to polish our sunglasses. Our cottage faced the beach and we could sit on our deck and watch the sunset. One of the restaurants had flies that kept getting in the food. This was the only negative thing we experienced.
We had a 6 day stay at the spectacular Half Moon. We enjoyed every bit of it. Food was great, hospitality outstanding, activities were exceptional including dolphin swim and the horse facilities and experience are top notch. It was hard to leave.
Hotel has excellent service and Staff are on top of all your wants Beach is beautiful different pools around hotel golf horseback riding much to do Restaurants all good and not rushed in any way. Rooms are little tired and need upgrade but are spacious We had a suite facing beach which made the experience first class. Vibe is classy and understated Spa is the best I have ever been too. Staff pampers a d excellent services

As ever, the amenities, service, restaurants, bars and beaches were exceptional
Our experience exceeded our expectations by far. The resort was beautiful and the staff was friendly, vibrant, and efficient. Everyone was extremely helpful and gave us many suggestions to help complete our vacation and create the most authentic Jamaican experience possible. We are planning our next trip to Jamaica and will definitely be staying at the Half Moon Resort.
This was our first time staying at this hotel. We booked this hotel last minute and could not ask for anything better! Cant wait to go back
close to airport but super secluded expansive property. Definitely will be back
The resort is magnificent! The staff is wonderful. The views the food. If recommended highly and will be back.
Beautiful location, great staff, great restaurants. As idyllic as the photos suggest
I've been in Jamaica and stayed at the top 6 resorts here. Half Moon definitely takes the #1 spot in my book. Other resorts are not managed well and the staff is nothing close to the quality I found at Half Moon.
Excellent hotel, no complaints. Will certainly return to Half Moon.
Half Moon is an excellent property with several large beaches and many private ones. Tons of amenities from bicycles to shuffleboard. Very large property. Sometimes the staff can get a little busy and forget about you. Small properties can pick and choose the perfect employees. I think when you run a very large property such as Half Moon you get a few good ones and a few not so good. Everyone was friendly overall and I would definately stay here again. Food is insanely expensive
We loved our stay at the Half Moon in MoBay, Jamaica. The room was pretty although the mattress was kind of hard. The resort was beautifully laid-out, and carefully maintained. The amenities were perfect. They have everything there you could want. We loved the seaside restaurants for all of our meals and the staff made us feel welcomed and relaxed. The equestrian center was far above my expectations and I am a rider. My husband loved the tennis. The showers were a bit tricky but otherwise, we really liked our room too. This is definitely a true 5 star experience.
The Half Moon is a unique and beautiful resort. Rather than one large hotel building, the rooms are spread out along the beach in cottages or villas. Many guests have most of their meals at the main outdoor restaurant so you get to know some of the other guests. A number of families have been back to the Half Moon annually for years. This was our first stay at the Half Moon. While it was beautiful and the staff was very nice, the food was subpar at best. For New York City prices, you received “Island time” service. We tried all of the resort’s restaurants and every one of our dinners took over an hour for the food to arrive. At lunch for example, a $17 tuna sandwich with potato chips took at least 45 minutes. The other problem was water. It was impossible to get your waiter to bring you water frequently while dining and the hotel offered no filtered water around the pool or beach. For such an expensive resort, they seemed almost stingy about things such as water. Another example is towels. There was always a shortage of towels at the beach and pool so you often had to wait for them. This is not the kind of service I expect from such an expensive hotel. However, they certainly know how to provide activities! There are lots of tennis courts and a great staff to take lessons from! There is shuffleboard, bocce, croquet, beach volleyball and basketball. There is a nice fitness center with spin classes. They also offer (for $150+ per person) “swimming with the dolphins.” There are free water activities like kayaking and paddle boating and for a fee, boat rentals, boating excursions, and tubing and water skiing. Most people use the complimentary beach cruiser bikes, which is a lot of fun! It is also practical since it is a 400-acre resort! There is a beautiful golf course (so I heard, we didn’t golf) and squash courts. I was with my three adult children so I can’t speak from experience, but it looks like they offer a ton of activities for young children through adolescents.

Good afternoon, Thank you for sharing this lovely review and beautiful pictures of your recent visit to Half Moon. It was a pleasure having you with us. In our new wing, we will be adding two more restaurants by the end of the year; a seafood restaurant and an additional three meal restaurant serving buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner. We will also have a market place serving light fares, sandwiches coffee etc. Lots to choose from. Thank you for highlighting your taxi driver, Dalton. We will be sure to let him know you sent kudos. We look forward to welcoming you 'home' in the not too distant future. Best, Paula
