Half Moon Resort in Jamaica Adds New Rooms

The Half Moon luxury resort in Montego Bay will undergo $75 million in improvements, including the addition of 57 units.

The 153-room resort plans to complete its upgrades by November. It will add a lobby and concierge area called Great House in addition to the new guestrooms.

The 400-acre beachfront property will add two restaurants and a vegan cafe as well as a pool bar featuring driftwood-inspired architecture and hanging lanterns designed to resemble fishing baskets.

Half Moon will also add an adults-only pool and expand its beach to include a natural swimming cove. The resort's Fern Tree Spa will have a new, manicured entry, while the property's service roads will be rerouted to keep them out of sight of the guests.

Located about seven miles east of Montego Bay proper, the resort opened in 1954. Its ownership group includes three of the original 17 families who opened the resort.
