Half Moon

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.

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.

The BEST service of any hotel we have been at. We have traveled all over the world. The service here exceeds any place we have been. The Eclipse grounds are beautiful and food is great. Thank you Dean Martin our butler, kevin in room service, Michelle at the pool, Andrea and Sherrian at breakfast. Gregory also giving us fresh coconuts! The chef at Del Mare Claudio is a gastro genius and comes out to speak to so many of his customers. We absolutely love Half Moon, One thing I would suggest to management is think about heating the pool though during the winter/fall/spring months and also a hot tub in the Eclipse area. The hot tub in Cove area is too far from the Eclipse pool. Otherwise everything was perfect!

Lovely place; nice room; beware of food prices. They are taking us for a ride. And the food prices have become a joke. Keep away. We make a picnic lunch at breakfast to avoid being fleeced twice a day. Breakfast is included but would cost $100 if it wasn't. Dinner last night was very good but having the cheapest possible still exceeded $200 for two. Should never have come here. Oh yes. a 1 hour massage in the spa is $200, 100 everywhere else. Crazy. Taking us all for idiots and leaves a nasty taste.

Excellent hotel with great beach and nod to old world luxury ! Food, service, room were all excellent. The grounds and the biking was a nice touch to explore the full property. The beach is well protected and perfectly clean. Didnt get a chance to play golf- but thats for next time!
