This is deffinantly a five starr property. It sets on half moon beach which is absolutly beautifull. It also has miles of well maintained private beach. There are many different parts of this resort. All are low rise (two story) bungalows. Most have four units per building except for the most exclusive private homes that come with your own cook, buttler and housekeeper. I did not stay in one of those. My accomidation was in the Hybiscus suites section. Gigantic room with a king size bed and TV, a desk and study area, and a living room with couch, chairs, bar etc. The bath was larger than most bedrooms and included a soaking tub, shower, and double sinks. The outside room was very large and contained two lounge chairs and a table with four chairs. It is a great place for breakfast. Speaking of breakfast, they have great resturants on site. All tables overlook the great beaches.

I stayed at Half Moon for 6 days with my husband and four year old son. We stayed in a suite in the West Cottages right on Sunset Beach.

Pluses: Beautiful beach with easy access (perfect with my son!), friendly staff, nice pool, traditional feel in older buildings.

Minuses: We arrived a day late due to flight issues and were charged for the night we were not there, air conditioning seemed to kick off in the middle of the night and we woke up hot, food was terrible (we were glad we were not on the all inclusive plan), a mediocre at best massage, felt stuck on the property.

In general, a good resort to visit with children if food was better.

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.
