Parasailing is the sport of choice at this Jamaican beach.

Coming to Jamaica during a pandemic was a bit scary but all I can say about the experience was “wow!” From the precautions taken at the airport to the ones at Moon Palace, thorough sanitizing of hands, cell phones & the use of masks... we felt extremely safe. The moon palace staff was over the top professional, helpful and friendly. Oneish, our exceptional waiter at Momo, Sabrina, the dancing waitress and Shaneika, our wonderful pool waitress made our experience even better!! The resort was spotless, the food in all the restaurants was great, pool and beach areas beautifully maintained. The resort is smaller in comparison to Cancun, but it made no difference to us, actually preferring the ability to walk to all area versus waiting on golf carts as in Cancun. VERY pleased with this experience and will definitely be back!!!!

Meet 2 special people on the beach there names were Shelly Ann and Shavon. Shavon was the guy who made me and my family jerk chicken every day. Every time he seen us the jerk chicken was ready and was it good. Then there is Shelly Ann what a wonderful person and even better smile always around to get us what ever we wanted. I can’t say enough of the great people that moon palace employee. I will go back again

Mahogany Beach

Reviewed By rockhollow - Vancouver Island, Canada

This lovely beach was located right next to the condo I stayed at, so spent many days here, sunning and swimming. The beach is small, but beautiful white sand and a lovely roped off area in the ocean to swim. Nice lounge chairs that you could rent, to sit in the sun or shade. A nice little bar/restaurant with lounge chair service. There was the dock for the Cool Runnings Boat Tours. When the cruise ships were in, the beach would be very busy for an hour when many buses would arrive with tourists for the boat tour. We enjoyed the watching all the people arrive and then happy to see them all board the sailboats and leave.
