Half Moon

For more than 50 years, this Montego Bay, Jamaica, retreat has welcomed guests to its 400 beachside acres. Each air-conditioned guest room and suite has a cable TV, a minibar, a balcony or patio, a coffee maker, and free Wi-Fi. The majority of the accommodations overlook the ocean, but standard rooms and select suites also have pool and garden views. Outside the rooms at this Preferred Legend outpost, there's an 18-hole course designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr., tennis and squash courts, a kids area with a playground and supervised activities, a gym, and the 68,000-square-foot Fern Tree Spa.

Animal lovers will enjoy watching newly hatched sea turtles return to the ocean, as well as riding and swimming with horses from the on-site equestrian center. When guests get hungry after a long day of activities, they can visit one of Half Moon's three restaurants. The restaurants serve everything from modern Jamaican cuisine to traditional Italian dishes and a variety of international favorites. Vacationers rave about the property's cuisine, but they warn that it is pricey. You might want to book one of the specialty packages, which include daily breakfast during your stay.
