This family get-away/vacation was our third to Jamaica and our third stay at Half Moon in St. James Parish! We arrived on July 17 and departed on July 27. We stayed at Villa 55 and were treated with genuine warmth and kindness — the Jamaican way.
Our butler, Rennis, made absolutely sure things were organized and carefully planned. Not to mention, we had plenty of delicious food to keep our stomachs full after a long day of literally doing as little as possible — relaxing mon. Denise was not only our chef, but our Jamaican mother who prepared all of our meals with joy and love. The Jamaican provincial meals were some of the best I’ve ever had in Jamaica! Dezreen, our house keeper, made certain our rooms were clean, clothes were laundered and hung in the closets, and the room was nice and cool every time we came home.
The 400-acre estate was essentially empty of guests due to the COVID-19 pandemic — and that was a shame — because we always felt like everything was super clean and sanitized. The staff made intentional efforts to make us feel comfortable and at total ease.
Simply stated — Half Moon did a wonderful job under black swan global circumstances. We are very happy and can’t wait to come back home to Jamaica and Half Moon very soon!!
The villa was beautiful and the Half Moon staff is what made it unique, comfortable and an experience. The property takes you back to a different period in time — one of old-world architecture coupled with the warmth and kindness of the Jamaican people.
We can’t thank Denise, Dezreen and Rennis enough for the care and exceptional service!
