My stay at Half Moon was a memorable one the property was just great the facilities was more that i bargained for every thing was more than expected the staff was informative warm and friendly of all the hotel i have stayed Half Moon would be #1 on my list .

Resort caters to weddings (3/day) and large groups (Villa rental). Singles and single couples will feel plebian. That said we still thought the resort was beautiful (though dated) and loved the grounds. Lots to do and the staff was exceptional. Wi-Fi throughout resort and business center has 3 computers (1 with printer) open 24-7. No cell phone service even though we called our carriers prior to departure. Odd and limited TV channels. (Resort needs a business TV station like CNBC). Limited print news (only newspaper was the daily NY Times summary like the 1950's). Visited two restaurants. Both were very pricey and food was just so-so. Best deal was the buffet. Spa is a must-do.

Our recent holiday at the Half Moon was sadly quite disappointing as we were expecting much higher standards after reading all the 'rave' reviews on Tripadvisor. We were staying in a Beach Front Villa, firstly there was NO beach, just a shingle and rock beach full of sea urchins that you are not even allowed onto even if you are wearing shoes! If you are going there, stay in the Hibiscus Suites, they ARE on the beach.
Its not the hotels fault that Hurricane Sandy had just devastated part of the island and even though the North West part of the Island had escaped the full force of the storm the beaches and sea had still been battered by the wind and waves, but our experience was not dampened by these factors, it was the general service and amenities of the hotel that let it down.
The hotel looks tired, the rooms we had at our villa were spacious but doors stuck, the bathrooms needed a refit and during one particularly bad rain fall water was dripping down the bedroom wall. Lunchtimes are limited, if you don't eat room service/in your villa you can only eat at the main hotel restaurant where the quality of food is pretty average, why don't they serve lunch by the pool? or have a lunchtime BBQ at sunset beach?
The staff who looked after us at our villa were kind and sweet but you have to buy all foodstuffs from the commissary, the standard of meat is poor, everything was frozen and the choice of veg/fruit got tiresome after a couple of days.
One night we decided to venture out to a local restaurant and sat waiting to be collected only to be told (after we had called the front desk) that no-one had confirmed the booking and would have to wait a further 30 mins to be collected, its just not good enough.
Maybe this place is too big, maybe they were all fed up with the rain, sadly we will not be returning.

We stayed in a ocean-front Royal Villa and it was truly amazing! The Villa itself was stunning, with your own private pool and relaxing verandas to enjoy the awesome view! The villa had a common area sitting room, outdoor dining area, separate TV room complete with DVD player and private pool. Our bedroom was extremely well appointed: welcome bottle of champagne, high quality bedding, ceiling fan, air conditioning, wall safe, two huge closets, large dresser, huge veranda & an amazing bathroom with double vanities!

Each villa is staffed by a housekeeper, cook & butler who cater to your every wish & truly make your stay exceptional!!! There was a made to order breakfast every morning, which was amazing. Along with cleaning your room, the housekeeper also does your laundry...that was a first for us! The staff's impeccable attention to detail truly made our stay splendid!

The private pool was wonderful to relax in. It was surrounded by comfortable padded lounge chairs & plenty of fresh towels. The villa also had 2 golf carts to use to explore this massive property. We could either take them ourselves to explore, or our butler would drive us where ever we cared to go.

This is truly an amazing property! Unfortunately, we were there on business and with only 4 days, didn't have enough time to take in everything this 400 acre property had to offer. Some of the many activities were a dolphin encounter, equestrian center, where you could actually swim with horses, golf course, shopping village, numerous restaurants and huge spa. I did have the opportunity to visit the Fern Tree Spa. It was truly an amazing experience.
