Sprawling beachfront resort with 54 pools, a golf course, a spa, an equestrian center and a dolphin lagoon Half Moon exudes old-school charm on one of the prettiest beaches in Montego Bay. The 400-acre property has nearly 400 suites, villas and cottages that front a long sweep of sugary sand. The layout of the property is like a miniature village composed of two-story buildings surrounded by lush foliage. The lobby, with its marble floors and black-and-white photos of notable past guests (such luminaries as Prince Rainier of Monaco and Queen Elizabeth II have stayed here), is a welcoming space that opens onto a large oceanfront terrace restaurant and bar.
