Half Moon Resort is going Rock. The Rose Hall, Jamaica, hotel will turn into a RockResorts property and get the new moniker--Half Moon, A RockResort.

The beachfront resort, a favorite of reggae singer Sean Paul, will join the company's stable of hotels in Colorado, New Mexico, Florida, Wyoming and St. Lucia. It will be official January 1.

The 398-room hotel is best known for its sweet location on two miles of white-sand beaches. It also has a spa, golf course, 13 tennis course and a whopping 54 pools. ]]> Jennifer Kester 2010-12-09T14:00:50-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2008/8/28/145035/327 <![CDATA[<p><b>UPDATE</b>: According to <a href="http://twitter.com/MarriottIntl/statuses/903038547">Marriott's Twitter feed</a>, their NOLA hotels are not taking reservations through Sept. 2 but current rezzies will be honored unless there's an evacuation notice.<p> <img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/gustav_halfmoon.jpg" class="imgborder"><p><b>Hurricane Gustav</b> is whipping through the Caribbean right now and while no one knows just yet what it's impact will be when it <a href="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2008/08/080827-hurricane-gustav.html">hits the US</a>, hotels in its wake are getting their emergency management plans in order.<p><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Half+Moon/ian/216289"><b>The Half Moon Resort</b></a> in Jamaica has already announced its cancellation policy. <blockquote><p>In preparation for the storm, Half Moon will waive all cancellation fees for reservations scheduled for August 28 to September 1, 2008. &nbsp;Guests will be able to reschedule their visit at the original rate booked up to December 15, juliana 2008-08-28T15:21:12-05:00 Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
