WOW! I visited with my aunt and my mother who has not been to Jamaica in 20 years. What a welcome back it was - the hotel has been renovated and is even more beautiful, the 400_+ acres property is splendid for walks, bike rides and sporting activities - the best part was the staff! Breakfast was the favorite part of the day - the chef and servers were welcoming, warm and professional. Excellent stay! One of the best for us.

Breath taken.

Our stay at half moon was breathtaking. From our arrival to our departure, our stay, there was simply splendid, the service was outstanding from the front desk, check-in, the entire staff, whether it be gardening, housekeeping, beach, cleaning, and transportation, the spirit of hospitality, customer service, and genuine courteousness, was simply amazing. We highly recommend anyone, and we already have to your facility. I pray and hope, that you keep not only your standards, but the spirit that we encountered and experience there. Gives us a warm feeling every time we think back upon our time there. Thank you.

Lovely property and the staff were great. Only hiccup was checking in. We arrived before the 3 pm check-in and were told our room would be ready shortly but waited over 3 hours and after 3 pm for our room to be ready. The only blemish on a great trip. Feeod and drinkare are expensive (even by NY prices) but everything was well done so we did not mind paying
