Five Star Alliance Client Reviews - Half Moon
Chanda, South Carolina. May, 2006
"Our stay at Half Moon Bay was almost perfect. We were upgraded to an Imperial Suite which was beautiful. The staff was very friendly and the food was good. The only negative thing we experienced was a delay in checking in. We arrived at the resort at noon and were told that our room wouldn't be ready until 3:00. We weren't allowed into our room until 4:00 even though we found out it had been ready since 2:00. Our suite was by far what we liked best about the resort. "
Herb, York, PA. May, 2006

Service at this hotel was fabulous it's staff could not do enough for you. All the restaurants had excellent food and had wonderful ambiance. Our room was only 15 feet from the ocean and we had are own beautiful private beach area right in front of our suite. Our suite was sensational giving us a beautiful outdoor patio area overlooking the beautiful blue water. The Half Moon is one of my most favorite hotels."
