Half Moon’s Eclipse wing set to reopen April 2, 2026

The Montego Bay resort says its Eclipse phase and villas will return first, marking a notable milestone in Jamaica’s post-storm recovery.

Half Moon resort in Montego Bay, Jamaica
Half Moon is located on Jamaica’s North Coast in Montego Bay, a short drive from Sangster International Airport (MBJ).

Half Moon, one of Montego Bay’s long-established resort names, is scheduled to reopen its Eclipse at Half Moon wing on April 2, 2026. The date is being described as the start of a phased return after Hurricane Melissa, which affected parts of the island in October 2025.

For travelers, the update is notable for two practical reasons: it signals additional room inventory returning to the North Coast market, and it restores a property that many visitors associate with “easy arrival” logistics due to its proximity to MBJ.

The reopening has also been framed publicly as a confidence marker for Jamaica’s tourism recovery, reflecting the wider economic role of large resort operations.

What the first phase includes

Eclipse at Half Moon is positioned as the resort’s contemporary side, designed around open-air spaces and an oceanfront emphasis. With the April reopening, the resort says guests can expect key Eclipse elements to return first.

  • 57 beachfront accommodations within the Eclipse wing
  • An infinity-edge pool and swimming coves
  • On-site bars and restaurants associated with the Eclipse experience

Villas reopening alongside Eclipse

The Villas at Half Moon are also expected to reopen as part of the same phase. The villa category has been described as newly reimagined, with larger layouts geared toward families and groups who prioritize privacy and space.
