Our family of 12 stayed at Ginger Breeze for a week and were extremely pleased with everything about the resort.
The pictures don't do it justice. It is a spectacular home in a terrific beach front setting.

The staff couldn't have have been nicer and responded to our every request including constant requests by the grandchildren for root beer floats with a smile.

Food was great, especially the lobster.

There is one word to describe our travel experience at Moon Dance villas – Fabulous! The staff, the facilities, the food, the drinks, the beach – fabulous! We were blown away by this resort – I am somewhat skeptical to share this information about how wonderful this place is because I want to it be the best kept secret in Negril.

I celebrated my 50th birthday with a huge party in Maryland and wanted to have part two of my birthday party in Jamaica. My travel agent, Art Cobb recommended this place and I have to say this is the best resort in Negril. The second part of my party consisted of a group of 16 and we all stayed at the Moon Dance resort. My husband and I stayed in Ginger Breeze with four other couples, another party of two couples stayed in Satin Sunrise and my uncle and his wife stayed in the one bedroom, Lilac Mist. Everyone had a great experience and we are already planning another trip in 2008.

The staff at Ginger Breeze, including Mark the chef, Kerie the server/bartender, the housekeeper, the guard on the beach, the pool guy were all great! I would highly recommend this resort to anyone wanting to experience the ultimate vacation in Negril, Jamaica. But shhhhh, don’t tell anyone else!

I decided to have a destination wedding to save money and stress, and I chose Jamaica because of a shorter and better priced flight. That way, we'd be able to have more guests join us. Through many searches, and relying heavily on this website, I found and chose Moon Dance Villas, and it exceeded my expectations! We booked the 5 bedroom Bay Whisper from May 7 to11, and the 1 bedroom Lilac Mist from May 7 to 14.
-ROOMS
Bay Whisper:
It definitely looks just like the pictures! Each bedroom has it's own separate color scheme and art, and each has it's own bathroom with separate shower and bathtub. I can't speak for the comfort of the beds, as I was in Lilac Mist. But, the living area is very comfortable. There were 14 of us there for the wedding, and we all ate every meal at the dining area in front of Bay Whisper. I never felt too hot eating outside, it was nice and relaxing! The air conditioning is only in the bedrooms, however, I never felt terribly uncomfortable in the living area, as the front and back doors were always open. It was a huge plus to have the private pool and spa. They were bother used many times every day, with the spa being especially nice at night! Bay Whisper is set back from the beach a little more than Azure Sky or Ginger Breeze, but because of this, the pool and whole patio area is totally private. The foliage keeps it out of view of any passersby.
Lilac Mist:
Again, it looks just like the pictures! I had looked at pictures from their website and tripadvisor so much that it felt totally familiar when I was in there, almost as if I had been there before! Lilac Mist is air conditioned throughout, but it can get very chilly at night, especially for taking a shower! I tried to raise the thermostat, but it didn't seem to make a difference. The bed is incredibly comfortable and the mosquito netting is a great romantic touch. Fortunately, I didn't notice many mosquitos inside the villas. The private courtyard and private hot tub are perfect first thing in the morning and late at night! We ate at Lilac Mist's dining area in the courtyard after everyone else left. It can get buggy for dinner there-one night we had to turn off the lights because the bugs were so bad, but we ate by candlelight, and the bugs left us alone! I loved the fresh flowers they laid by the tub and on the bed every day. I would love to be able to come back every year-this villa instantly becomes a special place for anyone that stays there.
-BEACH
The sand is soft and the water is beautiful! The best thing about the beach are the trees! They provide such wonderful shade, so there's no need for umbrellas. It keeps the beach looking very natural and unique compared to the other resorts. The water was always warm. They had cinderblocks underwater so they could tie up the large floats, and you could relax on them all day! They'll hook you up with anything you need for the water-very helpful! We had sting ray and eagle ray visitors several times. There are mosquitos around the beach and villas at night. I used OFF every day and still had several bites, but others only had maybe one or two, if any. It just depends on the person. If you're someone who gets attacked by mosquitos regularly anytime you're outside for a while, you will probably end up with bites!
-FOOD
Johnny cakes!! For breakfast, there must always be johnny cakes! They're knots of fried dough, which have a slight sweetness, and are divine with a little bit of guava jelly! If you want to try new and different things, give the chef freedom to make what he wants. For example, we said we just wanted to sample different seafoods, to experience something new. I ended up with conch, which I never would have picked on my own, and it was great! We had a lot of lobster. The lobster thermidor and newburg were particularly unbelievable! The portions were good, but when it was just the 2 of us, the portions were huge!! Make sure to raid your fridge at night or early in the morning. They'll save your leftovers. Our fridge had an entire cheesecake in it from a night when we each ordered a slice! They made the whole thing! Of course, they kept us so well-fed that I never felt the need to eat at night! My husband has a very discriminating palate when it comes to 'fine food', and he was blown away by all of our meals! Breakfast is usually a little later than the time you specify, so plan accordingly. One day when a few of us were leaving early for the zip-line excursion, they didn't get breakfast to us on time, but they packed some pancakes and french toast for us on the go, along with an entire lunch of sandwiches and chips, plus a cooler full of drinks! The bartenders are amazing! They get to know what drinks you prefer and will bring them to you on the beach. Other people have recommended the Hummingbird and so will I. It's a frozen drink, and it's delicious! Tell the bartenders anything you need, whether it be food, drink, or if you want to do an excursion the next day. They will take care of it!
-WEDDING
I had very little expectations for my wedding, since I did very little planning! I had emailed a couple bouquet pictures showing the general color scheme I wanted, and not much more. I met with Linus, the manager and wedding coordinator, the day after we arrived, and decided on arch placement, shape, table setup, dinner menu, etc. I brought a picture of what I wanted my hair to look like, and had a consultation 2 days before. She gave me exactly what I wanted! The hair salon was next door at Beachcomber. We had a rehearsal the night before, and had our rehearsal dinner on the beach. The day of, my sister and I went to start our hair at 2:30pm, and finished at 5:30pm. I went back to Lilac Mist to get dressed, at which point I didn't know what the ceremony setup looked like, or my bouquet! The photographer was Damian from Sun Gold, and he was fantastic! It was so exciting to receive my bouquet minutes beforehand, and finally see the arch as I was walking to the aisle! The sun had just come out after being behind clouds all day, and I had the time of my life standing there, soaking in the moment. Afterwards, we took pictures, and they passed out hors d'oeuvres while our little wedding band played. It was just two guys, but they were fantastic! We had a lobster and steak dinner on the beach, and danced a little to the band. I could not have asked for anything better, especially considering how little planning I actually did! Stress free, all the way! It was a dream come true!

To make a long story short.....too late.....we all ADORED Moon Dance Villas! Yes, there were some bugs, and yes, there were vendors, but neither of these detracted from the wonderful experience we all had! I had 53 pictures picked out to post on here, but who knew I could only have 10? Needless to say, if anyone wants to see wedding pictures, or pictures of Bay Whisper, or Lilac Mist, or Rick's Cafe, cliffdiving, zip-line, or anything else, just let me know!

Thank you everyone at Moon Dance Villas!!

I am a Travel Agent and a Jamaica Specialist. I have been to Jamaica 29 times. This time I decided to have a family vacation and take the whole family ( 8 adults, 1 teen, 1-12 year old and 1 infant). First of all our arrival was 7AM in Montego Bay so we arrived at Moondance at 9:30AM, too early to check in. This is the flight we always take so we are very used to arriving too early, I have never had a resort accomodate me as GRACIOUSLY as Moondance did, We were given the One Bedroom for the day while we waited for the Azure Sky (ABOVE and BEYOND) . They served us a Beautiful lunch while we waited. Once we got into our Villa and met our Staff (WOW). I could go on about our staff for ever Barry and Carrie were unbelievable. Any time you thought about needing something you would turn around and it was already there, and they had delivered it with a genuine smile. I am sorry I do not remember the name of our maid who was wonderful. Having a vacation with a 14yrs, 12yrs and a Nine month old carries special challenges and they handled everything flawlessly, The babies bottles were kept clean at all times. The service was so incredible it is hard to get past it and talk about the resort but I will try. The Villa was Beautiful, The Beach was Beautiful, both much better than website or brochure.
I will recommend this resort to my Clients without any concern, I will know that they will be well cared for and have a Wonderful Time. I look forward to my next vacation at Moondance.
