Visited the resort for a work conference, everything was fantastic. I was especially impressed, with all the employees who went above and beyond to ensure a satisfying experience. Thank you also to Carol Lee for being a gracious, caring host.

This was an amazing trip filled with spa treatments, golf, and delicious meals! Our suite (a pool in the front yard and the beach behind us!) at this beautiful Salamander property was spectacular. We stayed on the Founders Cove side. The staff were absolutely wonderful. The concierge team (especially Kristen Wilson) was fantastic, and created an awesome itinerary that included onsite and offsite activities (shout out to Sandra’s Transportation and the team at the Houseboat Grill!). We sampled food and drinks at every restaurant at the resort. The only regret is that we should have gotten the “premium” meal plan, instead of the “deluxe” meal plan. We drank more beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) than we thought we would. We have stayed at other Salamander properties and will definitely visit this one again. It truly was a memorable trip. …

I was fortunate enough to be invited to a business event at Half Moon in Jamaica last week. I had never been to Jamaica and was I ever surprised. Half Moon is an unbelievable property! The staff are some of the nicest I have ever come across at a resort and I have been to quite a few. The food was fantastic as well. My room, 1013, was in the Founders section of the resort. My room looked out over the small bay that the resort is located in. The sand was maybe 5 yards away and the water was 10 yards away. If you go to the main bar at Founders definitely have Caswell make a rum drink for you! He's the best. If I could name all the other staff that I came across I would. Again, everyone is so nice and its a genuine nice. Due to having a packed schedule I did not enjoy a lot of the resort. They do have a great workout area as I used that facility quite a few times. I would highly suggest Half Moon to anyone looking to visit Jamaica and relax at a world class resort. …

Rennis, the butler, Kameil Brown, Human Resources, Shameika Daley, Denneva Williams and Audrey Nelson. We visited Half Moon as part of our volunteer dental mission. We have partnered with Half Moon on several occasions and they have never failed to impress. Rennis, our Butler provided exceptional service beyond expectations, we request him for any future missions. Kameil Brown, is the consummate professional handling any and all issues before and during the mission. Shameika Daley, who coordinated the planning and execution of our welcome dinner was wonderful in her role. Denneva and Audrey In reservations and villas put up with my many requests with calm professionalism. I would highly recommend the resort to anyone!

I have stayed at 5 highly rated Montego Bay resorts in the past year. This is the best resort in Montego Bay. From the greeting at the airport ( the airport lounge is extremely well kept) , to the guest rooms, the breathtaking beach , and the staff, they are all amazing. My only complaints were that they couldn't accommodate me for my entire time in Jamaica. and I do believe they could try and do some personalized touches for ex housekeeping did discard of something of mines I'm sure by accident but wish then would of made up for it . Housekeeping does a great job with cleaning !! my room felt brand new everyday . however , I do wish they would of compensated me for the item or offered something ,anything ,I would of taken a bottle of water and not complained just because overall they made me feel so happy there ... but even with that occurrence I will only stay here on my trips to Montego Bay Nowhere else compares to the Caribbean laid back lux experience at Half Moon thank you …

My husband gifted me with a weekend away to Jamaica with spa treatments after a long and stressful spring. I do not have enough wonderful things to say about this resort. It is in close proximity to the Montego Bay airport (10 minutes) and the hotel provides shuttles for a small fee. It makes it perfect for a long weekend since you can get quickly settled after you land. The customer service at the resort is top notch and the people who work in all areas of operations are kind, thoughtful, responsive and professional. I stayed in one of the Founder's Cove rooms that overlooked the beach and ocean, steps from the water. The room was large and well appointed. The bathroom was modernized and very large and I had a giant balcony where I spent many hours reading. The most wonderful part of my trip was the day at the spa. The facility is large, quiet, beautifully manicured and peaceful. My husband made me a reservation for a spa package and I had the wonderful fortune of having Danesha for all three services -- a scrub, massage and a facial. She was incredible -- maybe the best massage I have ever had -- and she was incredibly kind and it was obvious that she loved what she did. If you have the opportunity to book a spa service with Danesha, DO NOT HESITATE!! Thank you to everyone at Half Moon for making my weekend away a relaxing and joyful time.…

Half Moon is consistently the best maintained property. It's almost 70 years old and it's in tip top condition. Lots of greenery. Green spaces and big beautiful trees. Every meal was scrumptious. We particularly enjoyed the Delmare restaurant. The rooms were spacious, clean and VERY comfortable. I didn't want to leave. I'll definitely go back soon!

This is a great property with lots to do. The gym is great with some fantastic fitness classes (kick boxing with the trainer Andrew Marshall not to be missed!). There's also tennis, pickle ball, spinning classes and HIIT classes so a great variety for the fitness minded guest!

My husband and I came here to celebrate his birthday and our anniversary. We had a list of hotels in the Caribbean to go to. I had been here before so we picked Half Moon. We stayed at Eclipse beautiful Estate room facing the ocean. It has become my favorite place. The property is breathe taking, the bedroom perfect. The staff is kind, helpful, excellent!!! Breakfast at Haywards with Host Keran such a wonderful lady, and Andrea always smiling. We loved the restaurant Del Mare with Italian chef Claudio all of the dishes are delicious !! The spa is great!! Yoga classes superb. The beach amazing!! The welcoming staff at front desk real nice Carole !! Everyone is caring and made us feel cared for. I will return with my husband and children soon.
