The Half Moon is a huge 400 acre resort which is beautifully maintained by its friendly, outgoing staff. I would describe it as colonial. Not at all modern but lovely all the same. We stayed in the Hibiscus Suites and were a 2 minute walk from the swim up pool/bar and the restaurant where we had delicious breakfast each morning.... More

First time at the Half Moon, normally stay at the Ritz-Carlton next door. Staff are very friendly and helpful, a real credit to the organisation. Delightful room, right on the beach. Breakfast was superb, offering a wide choice and again, by the beach. The best fresh fruit that I have tasted. Bar and restaurant prices are expensive, 15% auto gratuity... More

My wife and I just spent 5 days at Half Moon for our honeymoon. The resort is beautiful and pretty extensive. We stayed in a Hibiscus Suite with wonderful ocean views.
