I have been going to half Moon Beach for 7 years and always have a great time. Andrew is a great host and they have really fixed the place up. Always enjoyable to relax and hear stories from Lee and Mr. Dixon! The food is great and it is one of the most peaceful places on earth. Always meeting good... More

Very pretty little beach in a calm cove just a short drive from Negril. There's a little restaurant but the are has been kept natural...I didn't see many fish when I was snorkelling though and you must be very carefull not to step on any prickly sea eggs--there are tonnes of them! (Best wear a mask when swimming to look... More

Went and spent a couple hours at Half Moon. Small little beach, very quiet when we were there anyways. Nice to hang out and relax. Comfy hammocks to use, calm, warm water. No crowds but beer was pricey. I did not try the food but its definately a nice place to relax and snorkel.

Our family enjoyed a wonderful day of swimming while enjoying some nice rum punch on this lovely little beach. Most travelers will pass right by but stop in if you happen by on your way to Negril. My wife and I toasted the sunset while under the archway left from a recent wedding. Great swimming spot too.

We got married at Half Moon Beach on 4 April last year. I'm just sorry I've not written a review before now. I would like to recommend this venue to anyone who wants an idyllic, personal, sun-kissed, intimate wedding. The previous year we stayed in an all-inclusive and watched as people got married day-after-day in the same location. Although I'm... More

Never expected the great meal and excellent beach experience. Enjoyed the afternoon and very attentive staff. When showing family and friends my pics of the lobster we got the jaw dropping, OMG that looks amazing! Will go back next time we visit Negril. Great memories...

Small - three residents dogs are beautiful and swim with you. Had stuffed snapper at the restaurant that was out of this world!! It was a slow day so they would not even take the entrance fee from us - nice people that have staked out a little piece of paradise!

Half Moon Beach is a real gem. It's calm, quiet (no blaring music!) and undeveloped. It's a 15 minute $10 taxi ride from Negril and perfect for a relaxing day trip. The beach is only about the length of a football field so when a boat full of people come to visit it got a little crowded but nothing like... More

The trip from our hotel in Negril to Half Moon Bay on the catamaran was a little choppy. Our trip included snorkelling, but being a non swimmer I just stayed ashore, as did most of our party as the diving instructor said visibility would be bad due to recent rough seas. The fine sanded beach was full of broken up... More
