This Jamaica-based AAA four-diamond and four-star resort offers three resort experiences - Founders Cove at Half Moon, Rose Hall Villas at Half Moon and the recently opened Eclipse at Half Moon. Half Moon offers individually-appointed rooms, suites and villas, most of which have views of the Caribbean Sea. Guests can enjoy the extensive facilities of this destination, which include the largest award-winning spa oasis in the Caribbean, Fern Tree, A Salamander Spa; an 18-hole par-72 championship golf course, equestrian centre with 28 horses and the Sugar Mill, awarded as Jamaica's best restaurant. Located just 10 mins away from Montego Bay's Sangster's International Airport (MBJ), Half Moon also offers the use of 11 lit tennis courts, Spinning® studio, a fitness centre, water sports and more. Half Moon has been a chosen retreat over the past 60 years for royalty, presidents, world-wide known entertainers and more importantly, generations of loyal guests seeking to escape to their private oasis and relax while enjoying the climate, culture and hospitality of Jamaica. An independently-managed resort, three of the original investing families remain involved – the Weiss, Pearce and Steuart families. Half Moon remains true to the guiding principles: to respect and contribute to the welfare of the community while offering discerning travelers the opportunity for remarkable vacation memories. Half Moon is a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts and managed by Salamander Hotels and Resorts. Half Moon was awarded a Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award, listed as the top resort in Jamaica and no. 6 out of 50 in the Caribbean.
