Half Moon, Jamaican Luxury Hotel is also a Forbes rated 5-star resort. One of the reasons is it’s unique and attractive amenities. First, the sprawling resort is set in the beautiful Half Moon Bay. It was given this name because the beach is crescent-shaped, giving plenty of protection for water-sports. Equally important, are the interesting activities that are offered on property. Take the resort horses on a bareback ride through the ocean’s waves. Indulge in sailing lessons, or PEDI certification. Snorkeling, parasailing and standup paddleboarding are also available.

Alternatively, arrange a tour to the Blue Mountains or the bucolic hillside villages to learn about coffee or organic farming. There are several restaurants on property as well. The options for accommodations on this property are almost endless. There are beachfront rooms right on the main property to seven-bedroom villas throughout the resort property.
