Spectacular! Every single member of the staff is personable and eager to be of assistance — oodles of traditional Jamaican hospitality x 10. My only quibble involves some of the operational systems in place, especially the multi-tiered meal plans, which I find too cumbersome. I am not an hotelier so I do not fully comprehend the subtleties of the business. For instance, I don’t drink, so I don’t know how quickly someone who consumes a lot of alcohol would bankrupt the establishment, so to speak. My questions to management would be, “Is there a way to streamline meal charges? Why not add an all-inclusive option without the innumerable exceptions?Besides, my sense is that the complicated slicing and dicing in the accounting department is stressing out the employees, leading to occasional billing mistakes — I can see it in their faces, never mind the inconveniences that ensue for guests like me. At least, discrepancies are always rectified with dispatch. Regardless, I actually wish that I could live at Half Moon permanently. The overall atmosphere, the dedicated team working together to make everyone feel at home, and the meticulous tending of what nature has gifted us, is indeed a glimpse of what I imagine paradise might have to offer. I shall return!

Very nice facilities. Food is expensive. Main drawback was that we did not have hot water for bath/showers despite requests to fix it. It was lukewarm in that sense.

Beautiful resort that provided the best family getaway for those looking for a fun but more private vacation experience. Infinity ocean side pool offered both relaxation and fun in the sun and the Equestrian Centre provided some fun filled afternoons swimming in the ocean with the horses. While we didn’t bring our golf clubs this time we will do so on our next visit as the course looked amazing and the restaurant on site (Sugar Mill) was fantastic! In terms of accommodations highly recommend the newer Eclipse which is centrally located with great food options.

This is a very nice hotel property which combines old with new. The staff is very accommodating and friendly. There are several restaurants on the property. We would recommend Delmar’s and Sugar Mill. We recommend having a drink either before or after dinner at Lester’s located in the Eclipse section of the property. Explore the property-the gym, tennis courts, 18-hole golf course, equestrian center, the two miles of beachfront property, and their spa. You will not be disappointed.

I would recommend staying on the eclipse side of the property. It looks completely modern new and clean. It’s such a breath of fresh air being in such a quiet luxury hotel that’s still in Montego Bay. The issue we had was that for this to be a five star resort not all the staff members were warm and welcoming and helpful. we had an issue with our shower, not working the first night and the night manager and night staff were so nice and accommodating, and put us in another room. But other than that, most of the staff were not up to par with their service like most five-star hotels we stay at. The lady who checked us in had a bit of an attitude because we wanted to get content because we are travel bloggers. Instead of coming up with a solution, she tried to stop us completely and had an attitude. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel if you want to create content. The hotel pool staff ran out of clean towels that go over the lounge chairs so instead he gave us a regular towels to put on our chairs that is not something we expect at a five star resort. We are really picky with which hotels we stay at so we expect a lot if the hotel is rated for five stars and we just felt like the service was lacking. The property is beautiful quiet and we had a really great time at Lester‘s bar on property. All the staff at Lester’s bar were nice. I think that the staff members need extra training on how to go above and beyond for gas who expect that level of service from a five star hotel.
