Luxury Jamaican Resort
Aptly named after the crescent shaped two-mile private beach, Half Moon is the embodiment of classical resort living. Beloved by romantics, sport lovers and families since 1954 when we welcomed our first guests, Half Moon today is considered one of the world’s great resort hotels. 

Our guests and their families are drawn back again and again, lured by the luxury of our 400 acres of landscaped natural beauty, the timeless charm of our whitewashed cottages, the serenity of our Fern Tree Spa and the extraordinary diversity of activities on offer, be it golf, tennis, equestrian and even a Dolphin Lagoon. Add to this inspired culinary creativity from a team of international chefs and hospitality that is quintessentially Jamaican, it is easy to see why for so many Half Moon is a home away from home.

    The BEST service

    The BEST service of any hotel we have been at. We have traveled all over the world. The service here exceeds any place we have been. The Eclipse grounds are beautiful and food is great. Thank you Dean Martin our butler, kevin in room service, Michelle at the pool, Andrea and Sherrian at breakfast. Gregory also giving us fresh coconuts! The chef at Del Mare Claudio is a gastro genius and comes out to speak to so many of his customers. We absolutely love Half Moon, One thing I would suggest to management is think about heating the pool though during the winter/fall/spring months and also a hot tub in the Eclipse area. The hot tub in Cove area is too far from the Eclipse pool. Otherwise everything was perfect!

    Expensive food. Jamaica Inn as good/better and much, much better value

    Lovely place; nice room; beware of food prices. They are taking us for a ride. And the food prices have become a joke. Keep away. We make a picnic lunch at breakfast to avoid being fleeced twice a day. Breakfast is included but would cost $100 if it wasn't. Dinner last night was very good but having the cheapest possible still exceeded $200 for two. Should never have come here. Oh yes. a 1 hour massage in the spa is $200, 100 everywhere else. Crazy. Taking us all for idiots and leaves a nasty taste.

    Not our first time at Half Moon, nor will it be our last! Perfection!

    Half Moon one of her favorite “stays” anywhere in the world. They have relaxation down to an art. We prefer the old part half Moon, Founder’s Cove, the architecture is just so appealing. We had a cottage with a pool, a 15 second walk to the beach. Three minutes the lobby, bars and restaurants. They missed no details. None!

    Spoiled rotten

    We stayed in Rose Hall villa #89 and the BEST part about it was the team that took care of us during our stay: Suzan, Jeannett, and Charles. Suzan spoiled us rotten. She made coffee early for us and then we all were up, followed by a leisurely gourmet breakfast with familiar USA items and traditional Jamaican specialties. It was such a beautiful way to fuel up for our day's activities. We made a point of working off all that lovely food by taking advantage of the activities at the resort, including tennis lessons with the pro--Troy--that I also HIGHLY recommend. He was a patient teacher and my husband and I had a great work out while learning a few things to improve our game. Definitely try to book a class or private lesson with Troy if you get the chance. We also played pickle ball with our group of friends. There were lots of courts and at least when we were there, no wait! Beaches were clean and pretty. It was nice that they had bikes everywhere to borrow for tootling around the campus. At the end of the day, Suzan would have a beautiful traditional Jamaican dinner waiting for us. Everyone had something they loved--and we were a hard crew to cater to--vegan, vegetarian, carnivore, and omnivores! Everything was delish and served with warmth and Jamaican joy. I am definitely inspired to check out a Jamaican cookbook from the library to see if I can recreate some of the things she made for us. Jeannette had the villa tip top shape morning, noon and night. Charles took care of all our additional needs. The worst part about the whole trip was having to leave all the pampering behind! Thanks to everyone for a lovely vacation.
