The staff was very courteous and professional. The grounds including gardens, numerous swimming pools, and private beaches were very well kept. My favorite amenities include the terrific high-end spa, hot-tubs, and the olympic... More

We traveled to Half Moon at the end of April 2013 for my husband's work. The resort is very large and very quiet (I was surprised how little we saw other guests). The grounds are immaculate and you have access to sign out bikes to explore. We stayed in one of the Hibiscus Suites which are duplex style: one upstairs... More
