What guests say
8.7 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 1,422 guest reviews
Humphreys Half Moon Inn earns consistently strong marks for its picturesque bay-side location, lush Polynesian-themed grounds, and a pool area guests repeatedly describe as a highlight. Minor but recurring frustrations include an additional nightly parking charge, occasional concert noise, and a denied late check-out, suggesting the experience, while broadly excellent, can feel slightly transactional at times.
