Half Moon – Room Style

Accommodations at Half Moon are spread across distinct resort experiences, giving guests a choice between classic resort areas, the newer Eclipse experience, and private villa-style stays.

• Three accommodation experiences: Founders Cove, Eclipse, and Villas at Half Moon
• Villas offer a private-home-style setup with a dedicated butler, housekeeper, and cook
• Most cottages and all villas include semi-private or private pools

Half Moon is the better pick if you want more accommodation variety, a luxury estate feel, and the option to upgrade into a villa-style stay.

If you want the more elevated room experience, especially for families or groups considering villa-style space, Half Moon is the stronger choice.

• Two miles of private white-sand beachfront divided into Sunrise and Sunset beach areas
• Family-friendly Hibiscus pool with swim-up bar, plus an infinity-edge pool at Eclipse
