Solar Seminar 2004 - Half Moon Resort, Montego Bay, Jamaica - tanTALK

Hey everyone, just got back from Jamaica last week visiting the Half Moon Resort where Solar Seminar 2004 will be held. One word: WOW! This place is absolutely beautiful! Beautiful Villas with your own chef, maid and butler (Sheldon…another rum and Coke please!) one of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen, dolphins swimming in the lagoon, putt putt golf by the Caribbean, and the food, the food was unbelievable. We ate at the Italian restaurant Il Giardino which is located right at the Half Moon Resort and is included in all Solar Seminar packages, I can honestly say that by far, this was the best Italian food I have ever had! And the jerked pork at the Seagrape Terrace (also included in all Solar Seminar packages) was out of this world!

Every morning, our chef served us a wonderful breakfast that included fruit, oatmeal, eggs, pancakes, bacon, juice and of course Blue Mountain Jamaican coffee.

For you shoppers, there is a shopping mall right at the resort where they have everything from designer swimwear, to fine jewelry (need a new Rolex?) to handmade crafts and even a Bob Marley store!

Oh and did I mention a mini bar in each Villa that has a very nice supply of soft drinks, beers, wines, liquor and snacks? Plus there are 9 other places that serve cocktails – all included in all Solar Seminar packages.

This place is absolutely perfect for Solar Seminar 2004. I’m looking forward to seeing you all there.

Check out some of the photos I took while there:

Okay this is one of the places you can have breakfast or lunch. Imagine eating right next to the Caribbean...

Then go for a swim when you are done

lil missfit:

Of course you can afford this trip. Although the Half Moon is definitely a luxurious resort, Island Sun Times has negotiated some excellent pricing in order provide all salons - big and small - an opportunity to attend the event "where tanning's elite meet." And the fact that Solar Seminar '04 is truly an ALL inclusive event (another rum and Coke, Sheldon) makes our little Caribbean getaway very affordable, indeed!

Perhaps my intrepid colleague, Mr. Roy Carrasco, would care to outline the different room packages for you all to see?

I might go this year but there is no way in heck I'll sponser again. What a waste of money. I'd rather buy everyone cocktails and just get to know you.

John Ribner · 07-20-2004, 02:17 PM

Well, since Solar Seminar '04 is truly ALL INCLUSIVE, you won't even have to buy anyone cocktails - they're already included with your room purchase ...
