Founded in 1954 by notable American elites Harvey Firestone (Firestone tires) and Richard Reynolds (Reynolds aluminum), Half Moon today remains an exclusive retreat for discerning travelers.
Nestled among Half Moon's 400 acres of lushly landscaped tropical gardens are 33 private villas (each with its own complement of private staff), 152 luxurious suites, 46 breathtaking rooms, and 51 swimming pools. And of course, fronting the resort is the incomparable Half Moon Bay, a sandy crescent beach dotted with palms.
Brush up on your tennis stroke on one of Half Moon's 13 courts, or bring your golf game up to par on the on-site course designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Meanwhile, animal lovers will fall head-over-heels for the natural dolphin lagoon.
No trip to Jamaica is complete without a sampling of authentic Caribbean cuisine. With a half dozen gourmet restaurants, Half Moon offers options ranging from dining al fresco on the terrace to a Jamaican style picnic on the beach.
