Powered by AI

Half Moon hotel captivates guests with its eclectic atmosphere, blending chic elegance in Eclipse, vintage charm in Founder's Cove, and a peaceful environment suitable for all ages. Its prime location near the airport and stunning beaches is highly regarded, although transportation delays can occur. Patrons commend the spacious, clean rooms with ocean views, despite some calls for updates. The hotel's service earns high marks for its warmth and professionalism, and while the amenities are celebrated for luxury, concerns over high costs for extras are noted.

Overall we had a good experience at Half Moon over the holidays. Here are a few notes.

Highlights

Room - we stayed at the Eclipse at a room on the ground floor. Incredibly spacious and updated, with the shower being a highlight with strong water pressure. Also was nice to have one complimentary mini bar usage (bottled water was very accessible during our entire stay also). Only feedback is that I’d suggest upgrading to nicer hair dryers, and not having as many pillows on all of the furniture.

Grounds - a really beautiful setting with perfectly manicured grounds. It was a very short walk from eclipse to founders cove, no more than 10 minutes, but you could drive your own cart or take bikes there. The gym is massive with pretty decent equipment and it was fun to rent tennis rackets and balls for free to play.

Areas for improvement

Beach/Pool - the chairs had no padding on them, which surprised us and left them not really comfortable to stay on all day. The pool area was also completely shaded with the palm trees, along with limited seating (usually full by 10am, plenty of seating on the beach). The water on the beach had quite a bit of seaweed and was pretty small. You could dip your feet but no one was swimming.

Cocktails - Overall the dining was ok, but a real bummer was that the cocktails we had were all bad. We tried at least 4 from different places before giving up, and the red wines were also bad. The pina colada was too liquid and the margarita was watery. At $18-22 each, this was a let down. We stuck to beer and hard seltzer from cans.

Concierge - we tried to book a 2 day lesson in golf but the concierge could never confirm despite us following up.

Finally- we had to leave early due to an unforeseen circumstance and we were sad to have to leave. We booked through AMEX FHR for the extra perks that booking direct did not offer. We called Amex to see if anything could be done, such as a partial refund for the 1-2/5 nights we stayed. They said the hotel told them no, and when we spoke directly to the hotel, they were quite short/rude with us saying that we shouldn’t have booked through a third party. They said if we had booked direct, they could have given us credits. Just felt a little bit sour - it’s not like we were staying at a competing property or paying a dirt cheap rate, we were still hotel guests.

I've stayed here twice over the past 2 years, and you can see previous reviews of this property I've posted. A few updates: They fixed up the gym and made it look less grungy. I wish they hadn't taken away the sit-up bench; there is a lot food here and that helped it go down. I stayed in room 3006 which is a great room at the end of the row of cottages in Hibiscus lane just between Eclipse and Founders Cove areas. It is a suite facing the ocean with 2 double beds. I've stayed in that room twice and like it. Sugar Mill Restaurant is worth a treat; their coconut banana mocktail shake is really great. You do get the usual snafus here -- the eatery up at the beach that has jerk chicken and fish ran out of fish two days in a row, and the gelateria by the Eclipse lobby had to close due to refrigeration issues. Two pain points for me to remember: If you sleep with 2 pillows and are used to bringing one with you everywhere you go, bring 2 to this place. Also, the pools here are not heated and in late November the water was colder than I expected from previous visits in March. Not so cold that you can't stand it, but cold enough that I saw few people going into the pools.
One sightseeing tip: We went to Negril and to Rick's Cafe and a beach. Our trip was 7.5 hours and we spent 5.5 of them in the car. If you do this trip, you want to avoid the evening rush hour coming back. There are tons of potholes on the road and various towns that become very traffic-heavy. Rick's Cafe is cool but not worth all that time in a car. The beach we went to was very nice but no better than the resort. It was not one of my favorite days. If you are sightseeing Jamaica and have to choose, go the other way toward Ocho Rios; there are better sights for less time traveling and the road is much better.

Half Moon was everything I needed and wanted in a resort. It was an unparalleled luxury experience, from the moment we stepped into the stunning beachfront lobby of the Eclipse with its breathtaking views to the personalized service from every staff member on the property. The rooms/suites were spacious, modern, and impeccably designed with an oversized balcony facing the pool and beach. The spa was rejuvenating and relaxing. There were superb dining options throughout the property and live music at the bar each night. Every detail, from the linens to snacks in the room, was thoughtfully considered, making our stay truly unforgettable.

I’ll try to make this quick. The resort itself is spectacular with the best attention to care from any resort you will travel to. I’m specifically talking about the wonderful employees. But they have a long way to go on getting transportation from point A to
point B as a non-debatable point. I waited an hour at the Sugar Mill restaurant for transportation back to my room at Eclipse.
Then after a reception I waited 30 minutes in the heat with no air blowing for transportation from the reception back to eclipse. I went inside three times asking for a ride. After 40 minutes I was told the shuttle golf cart would be coming in 50 minutes. An hour and a half is too long to have people waiting outside in unbearable heat.

The food was delicious as are the beverages. I think the prices are a bit high for beer ($18 for one local draft beer)

The cleaning crew does an immaculate job of keeping the room spotless. The employees make you feel so welcomed and wanted. I could not, and cannot even begin to express how great the employees that work at this resort are. Will I go back? Probably not. There are many other beautiful places around the world to see. This one is Lovely in so many ways, but the transportation or rather the lack of transportation coupled with the heat is a deal breaker for us. I would tell anyone going to Jamaica to go in January or February. If you are going any other months, you are going to want to stay in a pool or in an air-conditioned room. I might add that I have been on 4 “Land only” trips to Jamaica, not cruises. And they were in the warm months. We stayed in the pool except for an occasional drive in our rental car to other parts of the island. But even in the rental car we had air conditioning. You will absolutely love this resort if you go. The employees are going to make you feel like queens and kings.

My last day at HalfMoon Resort Montego Bay. This was one of the best trips I've taken! I have nothing bad to say about this place. The grounds are impeccable, the food is 5 star, and the service is top notch! Every person I've met here has been like family would treat you. They remember your name, your room, what you like, everything. I stayed in the Eclipse room. They are brand new and gorgeous! The best pillows! Room service was always amazing and prompt. The drinks here are definitely the best, they use premium alcohol and make delicious drinks. The Delmare restaurant is 5 star, met both of the head chefs and they put out the best food. The ocean is like bath water and they have little bay areas that were built to keep the waves down. Best water I've experienced in my travels. I wish I could remember everyone's names but I'm bad at that. Tony was one of a few that took care of me on the beach. Got me anything I wanted and was genuinely a wonderful lady. I really have nothing bad to say about anyone. Shout out to every housekeeper, butler, wait staff, bell staff and the staff that checks you in. If your thinking of booking this resort...you won't be disappointed!!

here on our last night, fourth time. We like going to Negril for 5 days, then four days in MoBay for golf, swimming, and being close to airport for return. We’ve stayed at three all inclusives and disliked all of them. We have never been anything but thrilled with our stays here and to have been assigned our very favorite for a second time.
What makes Half Moon magic is the commitment to simplicity and authenticity in a lush , verdant oasis of natural flora and fauna. The sprawling beach is pristine and quiet. There are several good swimming spots in ocean, there are several different pools. There is a 50 meter lap pool which is wonderful for swimming. Pool by spa is in a jungle setting and quiet. Infinity pool has some social events.
We always recognize faces when returning. Many have worked here 20 + years. We have met such awesome people here in all areas and have been blessed to talk about this amazing country Yes, food is a bit high, imo. However, there is a premium that’s definitely worth it when you want a pure zen experience in pristine surroundings with warm and welcoming service.

We recently returned from a fabulous family vacation at Half Moon in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
The hotel sits on a beautiful site on the seashore, shaded by palm trees and other flowering trees. Two miles of white, sandy beaches are accented by small, created, bays that provide calm, shallow waters for small children. The beach is so extensive that we were almost always able to find a stretch of beach with nobody else on it except the lifeguard.
The rooms/villas are strategically placed so that you have a great view while maintaining a degree of privacy. They are well appointed with king-size beds and large bathrooms. Each room has WIFI and televisions (although we never turned them on). Traveling with two small children between the ages of 1 and 6 can be challenging, but the staff went out of the way to ensure that our two connecting rooms had a crib and extra bed in them as well as extra towels. We really appreciated the friendly, efficient, housekeeping service twice a day to cope with the sand that inevitably was dragged in.
We particularly enjoyed sitting on our covered terrace, listening to the waves washing up onto the beach. Even when it rained, we were able to still sit outside and enjoy the scenery.
There are numerous restaurants, all of which serve delicious food although the service was sometimes a bit slow for a young child! We particularly enjoyed having the buffet breakfast on the terrace every morning overlooking the water as well as the beach barbecue.
Because the property is so large, we opted to rent a golf cart to travel around. There are charging stations outside every room to ensure that you never run out of power. This enabled us to transport the children to the Children’s Village where a very efficient, well-organized group of counselors ensured that our children were well cared for and entertained while we enjoyed the spa, water sports, tennis, the pool, and the beach. There are also bicycles scattered around the property for guests to use.
What particularly impressed us about Half Moon was the super-friendly, efficient staff, from the beach attendants to the manager. We never ran across anyone who did not have a smile and a friendly greeting and who made us feel that our happiness was paramount. It is highly recommended.
The only sour note of the vacation was the chaotic and very long (1.5 hours) process, both on arrival and departure at the Montego Bay airport, which can be even more unpleasant when traveling with small chidren. But that has nothing to do with the hotel. If you go, be sure to book VIP service. We didn't know about it.

My family and I always love returning to Half Moon and seeing so many people that have become extended family members. The Cedar Bar is one of our favorite spots to go because the staff is always friendly and thoughtful in their conversations, especially Caswell, who goes above and beyond each visit to make our entire family feel special! Our favorite housekeeper, Shaan, makes sure that we feel at home in our room, have everything we need, and that the room stays clean (even with the kids bringing in sand from the nearby beach). The restaurants are filled with fantastic team members, but Andrea (who rotates between Seagrape and Haywards) is simply outstanding! Andrea keeps everyone smiling with her contagious kindness. Another server shout-out goes to Rohan at the delicious Sugar Mill restaurant. Rohan was in tune with our group's needs, specifically catering to the three smaller children in the group. Other stand-outs for this trip include Shadeen (guest services); Dwayne (cabana); Antonio, Saldameicka, and Sashell (beach), Gregory (grounds), Joy (Seagrape and Haywards), and Robert and Sharon (Sugar Mill). Thank you Half Moon family for another wonderful stay!

A serene and stunning resort that is ideal for relaxation. We came on a business couples trip, which was a decently sized group, but even for a larger group we did not run into each other as often due to how expansive the resort is. The rooms are bungalow style with mostly four in a unit, two on top two on bottom. With all of them facing the ocean and only about 20-30 feet from the beach.
The whole weekend we were there we did not see our neighbors or anyone on the beach in front of our room so it was very private. Since the resort has so much space they have bicycle stations all over to get from different sides of the resort faster. So it is definitely a different atmosphere from the all you can eat/drink style resort. Most of the people on resort are enjoying a good book on a beach or a hammock, off at the golf course or strolling through the resort.
My favorite spot was the bar on the far east side of the resort that is located on the beach and has swings for chairs. Everyone from our group had recommended the lobster roll from there and it did not disappoint. They also have a swim up bar, tennis courts, and snorkeling rentals so that you can go out on your own. Lots of sea urchins in the area so careful not to step on the lil guys when in the ocean.

We just returned from a wonderful visit to Half Moon. It is a truly outstanding resort.
From our first interaction with reservations department, to the Airport reception staff and everyone on the property we were greeted as family, provided outstanding service by knowledgeable and professional staff whose goal is to make you feel welcome and well cared for. Many of the Half Moon staff have been there for 15, 20 or more years providing great service to generations of guests. We felt safe and secure at all times in spite of the travel warnings about Jamaica.
Once at Half Moon you can shift to vacation mode, enjoy a leisurely breakfast overlooking the ocean or a laid back “Jamaican time” lunch and a drink on the beach or at Northpoint. There is no reason to leave Half Moon, the miles of beaches, multiple pools, walking paths, tennis, golf, and fitness center provide hours of activity or opportunity sit back, relax, take a nap or read a book. We had several great meals at Sugar Mill and Del Mar as well as fun evenings at Cedar Bar and Lester's Bar. While this was our eighth visit, we are always amazed by the number of people we meet who have been to Half Moon twenty or more times.
While there are other less expensive places to stay in Jamaica, the quality or service, amenities, condition of the facilities, private beach and location make Half Moon well worth the cost.

Sure. Your friends can hang out with you at Half Moon. But I think you/they might have to pay for a day pass if they will be using the resort's (fantastic) facilities such as beaches, swimming pools, bars, beach barbecues, etc. Check with the concierge for details.
