Half Moon, A RockResort
- The Bob Marley Experience, a 68-seat theater showing a free video biography and offering souvenirs, is located in the resort's Shopping Village, which also includes a 24-bed hospital, a dentist, a bank, a post office, a grocery, a beauty shop, an English pub, and a public school.
- Queen Elizabeth II stays here when visiting Jamaica. Fidel Castro slept here. The Jamaican prime minister brings visiting dignitaries to lunch. Since 1954 when it opened as a cluster of cottages, the resort has welcomed luminaries, celebrities, and not-so-famous couples and families from around the world seeking relaxation in a plantation-style resort redolent with Jamaica's English-colonial past.The resort constitutes a vast botanical preserve, with a 25-acre protected wetland. All manner of mature palms, trees, shrubs, bushes, and blossoms grace the 400 acres. Semi-secret places are everywhere, some with benches facing lawns screened by dense foliage, others with bird baths and statues, and others consisting of dense tree groves. Surprises such as tree stumps carved in bird and sealife images and sculpted bushes pop up. Attention to ecology earned the resort admission to the Caribbean Green Hall of Fame.
- Sunset Beach on Half Moon Bay offers calm-water swimming and nonmotorized water sports. Long, uncrowded Sunrise Beach features motorized sports and encounters with two Atlantic bottlenose dolphins (surcharges) in a lagoon pen. The main pool complex consists of a freeform pool with swim-up bar, a lap pool, and, between them, a waterfall pool with barstools. A secluded children's center provides supervised activities for ages 3-6 and 7-12.
