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.

    Half Moon Paradise

    Five Days in Paradise — An Extraordinary Experience at Half Moon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our five-day stay at Half Moon in Montego Bay was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking beauty of this magnificent resort. The lush tropical landscape, pristine beaches, crystal-clear turquoise water, and meticulously maintained grounds create an atmosphere that is both luxurious and wonderfully serene. The property itself is spectacular. Every corner seems thoughtfully designed to complement Jamaica’s natural beauty. Our accommodations were absolutely gorgeous—elegant, spacious, beautifully appointed, and exceptionally comfortable. The amenities were equally impressive, offering everything one could wish for in a world-class Caribbean resort. But as extraordinary as the setting and accommodations were, what truly distinguishes Half Moon is its remarkable staff. Without exception, everyone we encountered was genuinely warm, gracious, attentive, and accommodating. Their kindness never felt rehearsed or obligatory. Rather, it reflected a sincere desire to make every guest feel welcomed, valued, and completely at ease. We would especially like to recognize Toni Ann, our wonderful pool and beach server, who was truly one of the most special people we have ever encountered during our travels. Her warmth, kindness, beautiful spirit, and genuine thoughtfulness made an already exceptional vacation even more memorable. Tony Ann possesses that rare ability to make guests feel less like visitors and more like cherished friends. She is an absolute treasure and a tremendous asset to Half Moon. We will remember her long after the details of our vacation have faded. We have been fortunate to enjoy many beautiful destinations, but Half Moon offers something that cannot simply be created through luxurious accommodations and spectacular surroundings: a genuine sense of hospitality and heart. Half Moon is not merely a beautiful resort; it is a truly special place made extraordinary by the people who work there. We left with wonderful memories, enormous appreciation, and every intention of returning. Thank you, Half Moon, and especially Toni Ann, for five unforgettable days in paradise!

    Half Moon Resort - The Best of the Best!!

    Still our all time favorite resort when traveling. It truly feels like returning home each time we arrive at Half Moon. We love the staff, as they are by far the most friendly at any resort we've ever traveled to. Being recognized and called by name when we are on property is always a very special feeling. We stayed in Eclipse for the first time instead of Founders Cove. Eclipse was stunning with beautiful views from our Balcony. Everything about this resort and property is worthy of the awards Half Moon continues to receive. We are already trying to decide when we will be returning. I'll be reaching out to Alison in reservations as soon as we decide. She always takes such great care of us! Until next time.....

    Finally a luxury resort with excellent service

    I loved Half Moon resort. It is pricey, but the impeccable service and beautiful and comfortable accommodations are definitely worth the cost. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect as I couldn’t find a ton of pictures online, but was very pleasantly surprised. The resort is quite expansive. We saw a sea turtle hatchling release, had wonderful Jamaican food, experienced some Jamaican music and dancing and indulged in amazing spa experiences and of course loved the beautiful beach setting and infinity pool. Half Moon has the best fitness center I have ever seen at a resort! Great restaurant options. Highly recommend!
