half moon bay

When you enter the hotel you immediately see magnificent woods on the floor, doors, furniture, bar, and ceiling. One main room has beautiful antique vases and very large sculptures with life size wicker dragons. The wicker furniture is the most creative work of art I have seen. The food is expensive but great. Luxury at its finest with its own private beach and small boutique shops..

We were treated really well from arrival to departure. Stop in the first time on our way to Negril. We had a fantastic lobster lunch. We made a vow to return and spend an entire day, which we did. We went snorkelling on the reef, were kidnapped to a tropical island for lunch, and then safely returned to the beach.Was a great day.

Half Moon Bay is snuggled in the trees along a private stretch of beach about 10 minutes from Negril. There is a $5 per person cover charge to access the property and use the beach area. It is a small beach cove with a few beach chairs and benches built onto the trees at the waterline. Being a protected area it is a nice place to snorkel and take a swim, although it is a rocky entry from the beach so bring water shoes if you have them. The restaurant offers a menu that includes a variety of sandwiches, entrees, and their signature lobster as well. Check in advance to find out if they are expecting a tour group the day you want to go. We had to wait a couple of hours just to order food because they were serving a buffet lunch for a large group the day we went. And unfortunately there was no where to sit on the beach that day due to the group being there. It was clear that our server was overburdened and even confused our orders as well, but we are used to this sort of thing in Jamaica and are pretty forgiving of poor service. We will try another day when they don't have a large group and hope for a better overall experience!

quiet cove with no soliciting, this private beach has a chill vibe with minimal people - the menu was minimal but good and they host nice boat rides from here. It's $5US per person to stay for the day.

If you want more a quieter and less touristy beach experience then this is the place for you. From my hostel in Negril, I took a route-taxi to here. Free entry but you are welcome to rent snorkel gear or any of their services. There are benches both in the sun or shaded. Don't be alarmed, there are friendly dogs running around! Such a delight! This beach is so picturesque! Plenty of great photo backdrop. There is a gift shop and an area to order some food. An awesome beach experience!

Try the bamboo rafts, go out to the island. Do some swimming, or catch a cruise around the bay for sunset. It is all beautiful.

A small beach, shallow water, quiet. Just take a book and relax. There is a small restaraunt for a refreshment or launch.

The experience was decent,,,we did not stay at the resort,,but visited by mare chance...mainly for couples who would like to get away from the excitement..private and clean.offers a different feel of paradise.went back the following day and the experience did not change...going back this month and i am going to stay there for a few days to absorb the jamaican life.

We didn't intend on staying at this resort, but did when our more low-key hotel fell through. Half Moon is very fancy and the accommodations were amazing. It doesn't feel like Jamaica, as it is walled up, and it felt racially divided between the staff and the guests. We prefer a more blended experience. We were in Negril before this, and it was much more blended in meeting the locals and getting an experience of the island. But - Half Moon is very beautiful and has so much to offer, that didn't match our interests, but it would for many!

My son and daughter in law had their wedding on the beach at Half Moon Bay. The wedding was coordinated by Isabelle and it was simply perfect. White folding chairs, a canopy decorated with tule and ribbon, poinciana flowers strewn on the beach, two steel drum musicians, a very capable minister, perfect ocean views, sun and shade, the owners daughters quietly playing at the edge of the water, all made for the perfect setting. There was a restaurant on the beach, but the bride and groom chose Charella Inn for the reception site. Peaceful, clean, secluded, and quiet, the perfect setting for a wedding, renewing vows, a family picnic, or a few hours in the water.

We renewed our Wedding Vows here with the help of Isabelle of Weddings by Isabelle. The whole day was lovely we were looked after by Isabelle and met the owners and their two lovely daughters. If you are thinking of renewing your vows Isabelle is certainly the person to contact because she arranged everything to perfection for us

Arrived in paradise on a boat trip from bloody bay, what heaven, clear sea, total peace just birds singing. Half moon bay is family owned the children playing quietly for a while in the sea the dogs causing great amusement by trying to catch fish. Fresh cooked lobster served with a tasty salad, not one of our small party wanted to leave. But keep it a secret so it maintains it's tranquility. Thanks Tania and hubby for sharing your home xxx

This couldn't entails be a nice get away. It is rustic but that's fine. Beach is a little small but if you want to escape the bother of 7 mile then it might be for you.
