Pros:

Hotel too rustic if what you are looking for is Resort/Local vibes. No front desk, no restaurant, no bar, easy access to the bay but hotel communal area not well maintained, housekeeping, the minimal (straining the bed, garbage, towels) they turn off the AC when you are not in the room, easy access, walking distance to all the restaurants and bars in the area, 25 minutes from the airport they arrange airport transportation with 24 hours notice.

Incredible hotel with excellent reef
Pros:

The staff were friendly and it felt very private. This is our second time back and there is an incredible reef in the back that you can snorkel. We saw more marine life in the morning around 730 off the back of our hotel than we saw on a paid snorkeling excursion. We loved lounging in the hammocks and the will continue to return as repeat customers. Thank you

Excellent return visit
Pros:

We had an incredible time at the half Moon Bay resort. This is our second time here and we saw more marine life on the reef off our back porch tha we saw on our paid snorkel excursion. We will continue to return, the staff are excellent. The room is simple and it is great for us, they will also arrange rides to/from the airport.

Absolutely loved our stay at Roatan Halfmoon Resor
Pros:

This place is a hidden gem -- cozy, peaceful, and clearly very well taken care of. The rooms and grounds were spotless, and everything felt welcoming and comfortable. We had hot water, good AC, and everything we needed within a short walking distance, including restaurants and dive shops.

The real highlight was the snorkeling -- just steps from the shore, we found vibrant coral and tons of marine life. No need for a boat trip when you have that right out front!

Special thanks to Rene, the owner, who went above and beyond to make our stay smooth and enjoyable. He was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout. Can’t recommend this place more -- would absolutely come back!

Pros:

This place was excellent. Private beach with a 2-minute walk to the main street. You could not ask for anything better. Hot water and AC work great. The best is the view from the hammocks. Excellent snorkeling right off the property. Highly recommended!

Pros:

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. My favorite was the hammock on the balcony overlooking the ocean. I spent a lot of time relaxing there. The treetops surrounding had small flowers that the hummingbirds frequented. The used to have a restaurant but i was not bothered in the least that it was closed. The owners hooked me up with airport transportation for $30 each way and a private guide, Marvin that took me out snorkeling. The snorkeling was amazing! Everything was within walking distance or $5 water taxi. Woody's grocery is about 2 blocks away for easy access. I would return to say here.

Pros:

If you are staying on the island and want a tranquil experience this is the resort for you. Most of the cabins on this property are closed along with the restaurant and bar, which makes for the best experience to enjoy the sounds of nature and the overwhelming feeling that this slice of heaven is all for you. That’s right, why have a crowded noisy restaurant and bar where you want to relax? Here at half moon resort you still have the convenience of a two minute walk to all the restaurants and bars you will ever need and still be able to retreat back to your own secluded, very rustic private hideaway. And best of all the owners Renée and a sister are two of the kindest people you’ll ever meet.

Tranquilité et proximité c'est parfait
Pros:

L'emplacement est vraiment parfait. On a accès au bord de l'eau pour faire du snorkeling en moins d'une minute. L'endroit est paisible et calme.

Pour se rendre en ville, c'est une petite marche de 5 min. Réellement bien éclairée et Sécuritaire (nous revenions de manger à la noirceur vers 20h30). Les hôtes sont sympatiques.

Les cabines sont très rustiques, rien du superflux. Deux lits, petites tables, petit rangement pour les vêtements, Mini frigo de style bar, une salle de bain avec douche. Air climatisé et ventilateur.

Les lits sont moyennement confortable, mais on s'habitue.

Juste pour la tranquilité des lieux.. c'est LA MEILLEURE place dans West-end pour dormir. Nous y retournerons certainement. Merci à nos hôtes !

This was our fourth trip at Half Moon Bay and it was excellent as always! Great snorkeling access, very walkable to the rest of west end, located on a quiet area within west end. Rooms are simple but clean and have everything that we need.

Very quiet, very basic accommodations. Walk out of your room and in the water snorkeling in seconds. It was our own private lodge. Minutes to walk to any kind of restaurant or diving. Would recommend to anyone. The owners are super cool!

Pros:

The room was simple and cozy with clean linens and a wonderful view from the balcony. We were there during Semana Santa and the music from across the bay was incredibly loud. But other than that, we loved this place.

Pros:

The rooms are big, clean, A/C worked well. Bathroom is fine and beds are comfortable. Wi-Fi worked well. The hotel does not have a restaurant or other services, but the location is excellent, quiet and right next to the water and it's very easy to go swimming in the protected bay. It's only a short walk to restaurants, grocery store, dive shops and "downtown" West End. The owners are friendly and helpfull.
