Junior prestige suite was awesome, waking up to the ocean right outside keeps us coming back to Half Moon! The next big asset is the staff…Half moon has the most friendly and pleasant staff… they make you feel so welcome.
Heather, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful resort that provided the best family getaway for those looking for a fun but more private vacation experience. Infinity ocean side pool offered both relaxation and fun in the sun and the Equestrian Centre provided some fun filled afternoons swimming in the ocean with the horses. While we didn’t bring our golf clubs this time we will do so on our next visit as the course looked amazing and the restaurant on site (Sugar Mill) was fantastic! In terms of accommodations highly recommend the newer Eclipse which is centrally located with great food options.
Shendra, 6-night trip

Went for a mother/ daughter trip and felt very safe at all times. Super friendly and super helpful staff! Very relaxing. We loved the food at north pointe bar the best, although it was all good!! Everything here is top notch! Would definitely return, and this is actually my second time here! Accommodations are beautiful and the scenery spectacular!

Suen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff was exceptionally pleasant, knowledgeable attentive and caring. The rooms were spacious , nicely decorated and cleaned twice daily. The morning buffet breakfast has a large variety of delicious foods. Perhaps they should consider having an evening buffet especially when SugarMill is closed.

8/10 Very good

Lovely property and the staff were great. Only hiccup was checking in. We arrived before the 3 pm check-in and were told our room would be ready shortly but waited over 3 hours and after 3 pm for our room to be ready. The only blemish on a great trip. Feeod and drinkare are expensive (even by NY prices) but everything was well done so we did not mind paying
