My husband and I traveled to Half Moon for a wedding and stayed 10 days. Our suite had a fabulous view of the ocean with swaying palm trees and gorgeous seas. We enjoyed watching mongooses on the lawn every morning and evening.The room was immaculate and well-appointed. The bathroom was spacious with a huge shower and deep tub. We had breakfast on our patio most mornings. IRD service was excellent (Jason balanced the tray on his head!). Everything about our stay was idyllic. We both work in hospitality and noted their excellent F&B quality and service. We enjoyed lounging at the Cedar Bar and dined in all the restaurants. The staff was well-trained, friendly and helpful. The food was five star. My husband thought their French fries were the best he’s ever eaten. I think I had lobster almost every day! Steaks were also excellent. I found a new favorite cocktail—Cedar Wood, crisp and refreshing. We are equestrians, so we took the horseback ride by the beach and into the surf. Our guide, Javon, was knowledgeable and friendly and the horses well-trained. The wedding was on the beach and beautifully turned out. We enjoyed several meals in the bride and groom’s villa, also ocean front. It was one of the best holidays we’ve ever taken! Special thanks to the General Mgr., Shernette Chrichton, for the gracious hospitality. 

Half Moon, Jamaica, Over the Top Experience

Honestly i have not had the chance to come to this resort yet as my flight was cancelled. That said i did have repeated texts with Half moon resort regarding flight delays and changed requirements and they were more than willing to accommodate and responded to me in a timely manner. When they learned my flight was cancelled i got a full refund. I do hope i get the chance to visit some day.

Understanding

Our stay here was amazing start to finish. It is in a fantastic location if you want to be close to the action in West End but still in a secluded area. Its only 5 minutes away but at night when all the bars and restaurants are loud you can sleep soundly across the bay. Unfortunately the restaurant and dive shop weren’t reopened yet since COVID, but Rene was always in the main building and let us boil water for ramen soups, and borrow some dishes for our early morning cereal breakfasts before going scuba diving every day. 

If you like to snorkel the spot just in front of the rooms is well known for being a great spot to see all kinds of marine life including octopus and eels. 

The rooms are simple and clean. We had a mini fridge, fan and AC. The beds were comfortable and we slept very well.  The hammock on the front porch of the room got used a lot for some mid-afternoon naps. :)

Quiet and convenient

Rene kindly upgraded us to the king room without extra charge for our honeymoon! The view is like a postcard, and the water and coral right outside the resort were extremely pleasant for snorkeling and swimming. With the iron shore and not much traffic noise it was a relaxing place to be. We did not realize the eco divers is still closed, which was disappointing, however, there are many affordable snorkleing rentals nearby.

Pictoresque honeymoon!

This is our second time staying here and Renee, and his crew do a great job! The accommodations being right on the water are spot on, and you’re not even a simple 3-5 minute walk to Sundowners and the heart of west end....nice and relaxing...stay with these guys you won’t be disappointed!

Amazing location

We were lucky enough to get "stranded" at Half Moon Resort during the Corona virus pandemic. Believe me, being stuck here at this resort was perfect! The cabins were extremely clean, rustic and quaint. Breakfast was always delicious and overlooks the beautiful bay. Our beach was raked every morning and no visitors were allowed as it's a private beach, which was nice. It's close enough to town so you can walk everywhere but if you did need something, the staff was always willing to bend over backwards for us. And speaking of the great staff, every one of them was so nice, always had a smile and made us feel at home every minute of the day! When we were quarantined and asked to stay off the streets, the staff even went out of their way to drive around looking for different dining options for us! This is a place we can't wait to go back to! Thanks again to all of you at Half Moon Resort...we'll see you soon!

Amazing vacation

Beautiful, quiet, and tucked away in a safe and cozy location. Wooden shiplap interior with ocean front balconies on a private beach. Absolutely serene. Extremely clean and bug free.

You are a very short walk to the main strip, with restaurants and shops and the hustle bustle of the crowds.

Renee and Matilda also run an on site restaurant and bar, and along with their staff they are extremely kind and accommodating. The on site bar/restaurant closes early, which is a bonus as there are no drunken shenanigans or noise.

You may here acceptable levels of chatter from the on site dive shop or restaurant patrons, but I assure you it is only during working hours and is never excessive.

Peaceful Oasis

I stayed at Half Moon Resort for a full week as part of a SCUBA trip.  I had a cabin to myself, right in front of the dock.  The experience was sublime.

Before I go any farther, I want to emphasize this is a rustic resort.  I had air conditioning, WiFi, coffee, refrigerator, and great service.  But I wasn't pampered, nor did I want to be.  Staying at the Half Moon is a few steps up from camping, but with amazing ambiance.  

The food and drinks were excellent, made better by the attentive service.  We SCUBA dived with Eco Divers (right on the property) and also snorkeled off the small beach.  The West End is less than 5 minutes away on foot.  Each night, I slept like a baby.

I highly recommend the Half Moon Resort and I will definitely be back!

Rustic, Tranquil and Amazing

The LOCATION of Half Moon Resort can't be beat.  It's right on the water of Half Moon Bay and all rooms have a waterfront view.  It's easy walking distance to everything in West End but off the main street.  Therefore it's quieter and peaceful so you can relax without the bustle of West End locations along the main street (which are also separated from the water by the road and public beach).

There are plenty of ACTIVITIES available right at the resort.  You can snorkel from a centrally located access point with a few steps leading down to the water.    Snorkeling there along the seagrass bottom you'll see a variety of life such as starfish, conch, tropical fish, and other marine animals.  There's even a moray eel that lives under the dock next door!  You can easily swim out to the iSoar (not eyesore) sailboat moored nearby, which has been retrofitted for recreation with a dive platforms and rock climbing footholds.  (The kids we saw playing on it looked like they were having great fun.)  Glass bottom boat tours leave from the resort's dock. And the Roatan Institute of Deepsea Exploration just next door is one of only two commercial operations in the world that offer the general public submarine expeditions that go to depths far beyond the 120 feet that can be reached by non-technical scuba diving or in tourist subs that take non-divers to the same depths that recreational divers can reach. 

Best of all for scuba divers, there is great dive operator located onsite that offers 3-5 scheduled boat dives per day that depart right from the Half Moon Resort dock.  Moreover, EcoDivers is not only eco-friendly -- e.g., they offer reef restoration dives and a program by which you can "pay with plastic" collected on one of their organized beach cleanups -- but it's economically friendly to your budget as well, offering a discount to divers staying at Half Moon Resort.

Other AMENITIES include a restaurant that serves both breakfast and lunch daily and offers free coffee and purified water (from a bubbler, not plastic bottles) to resort guests.  It was so convenient we ate there once a day (alternating between breakfast and lunch) and every dish we tried was excellent.  Showers are hot and all rooms are air-conditioned.  For a small flat fee, you can have a mini-fridge added to your room (recommended).  Reliable airport transfers can also be arranged at a reasonable cost.  There's also a safe available at the desk for securely storing valuables such as extra cash, passports, etc.

Last but definitely not least, the SERVICE is terrific.  Your hosts René and Matilda make sure you have everything you need.  (René even loaned me a bottle opener for the week to use to open the beer I was keeping in my room fridge.)  It's a family-run operation -- René is the son of the owner -- and they take pride in their business.  All of the staff were friendly and helpful, especially Sean and Renny, the waiters in the restaurant, and Sherry who freshened our room daily and made sure we had water if we'd run out.

The only minor issue for me -- not a general complaint, I imagine -- was that the beds were a bit too soft for my liking as I'm used to a firmer mattress.  

In sum, Half Moon Resort really delivers exceptional VALUE for the price.  With it's great location, activities, amenities, and service (and with cushy beds being the only slight minus), I can enthusiastically give Half Moon Resort a five-star rating and highly recommend it to other travelers.  Not surprisingly, several of the other guests while we were there are regulars.  I will definitely stay there next time I'm in Roatan -- and I'm already looking forward to going back.

THE place to stay in Roatan

The property location is spot on and near everything great for West End. Dive shop is onsite, tasty breakfast every morning. Very Clean and comfy in the newly constructed rental with comfy beds and friendly staff.
