“A Fabulous Stay at Humphreys Half Moon In”

As we experienced on our previous concert package visit on August 4, our stay was stellar! Enrique welcomed us warmly at check in, as before.

As we experienced on our previous concert package visit on August 4, our stay was stellar! Enrique welcomed us warmly at check in, as before. We had a lovely chat with Sierra at the poolside bar, while we waited for our room to be ready. Our dinner was delicious! Joanne was our server, and Jose and the kind gentlemen who kept our water glasses full (I'm so sorry, I can't remember his name), helped to make it a scrumptious and incredibly enjoyable meal. The concert, of course, was fabulous! Thank you all for making our stay such a memorable and fantastic time. We will definitely be back!

“Outstanding stay”

Everyone there was very friendly and our room was incredibly clean as well. The restaurant was amazing as well. Seems like everything has been updated since our last stay and it makes a great impression. We will definitely return and will recommend to friends and family.

“Perfection”

I booked a stay here because I loved the tiki theme and thought it would be a fun way to kick off a mother-daughter trip with my teenage daughter.

I booked a stay here because I loved the tiki theme and thought it would be a fun way to kick off a mother-daughter trip with my teenage daughter. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a suite, which made this one of the best hotel stays I've ever had! We stayed in room 324, which faces out onto the bay with the most beautiful view of sailboats. The room is right next to one of only two viewing decks with benches, and we spent some quality time relaxing and reading out there, which my daughter (who was blown away by the hotel) said was her favorite moment of the day. I think it would have been a delightful stay if we'd had a regular garden-facing room, but it was truly exceptional because of the location of the suite. The grounds are beautiful and feel very tropical. They even have some resident parrots and a koi pond. The pool area is very pretty with sitting areas and tiki torches and a nice hot tub. It was a little bit too chilly for us to use any of them. The downsides: The room was very slightly musty, which I think is to be expected right next to the water. It was exceptionally clean (with the exception of a little mold in the bathroom) and felt updated, even though it has a vintage vibe. We ordered takeout from the hotel pool (since it's right across from the room) - a very basic burger and kids pasta, which were both fine. The presentation was special, though, which made it a fun meal. We ordered takeout from the restaurant for breakfast as well - this was mediocre at best. The order was missing several important items (syrup for the pancakes, for example) and just generally not very good. This was the one low point. We didn't realize it was a music venue, so the loud music took away from the chill atmosphere a bit. At least the concert wrapped up by 10pm - not sure if this is the norm, but that seemed like a reasonable time for a music venue at a hotel to wrap up a concert. We ran the AC fan as white noise - though I think it would be a good idea for a hotel attached to a music venue to perhaps provide white noise machines in the rooms. Not sure if this was purely related to the suite, but there were extra blankets and pillows in the closet, which is a nice touch. My recommendation: stay here and book room 324!!! You won't regret it! And plan time to just hang out in the room and by the water to enjoy the view! This was the first night of our road trip, and we were bummed we were only there for one night!

From the alluring tropical scent as you navigate the lobby and resort grounds -to the friendliness of the hotel staff - you will be glad you are staying at Humphrey's Half Moon Inn. With so many choices on Shelter Island it was difficult for us to make a decision where to stay. After seeing many reviews of different places on Shelter Island we decided on Humphrey's and we are so pleased that we did. From start to finish we had a very welcoming stay. Check in was perfect and so accommodating. After a night of no sleep as we made our trip to San Diego, we were exhausted. It was raining and cool and we were hoping to check in if any room was available. Of course, our room was not ready due to our early arrival, nor did we expect it to be, but we were able to leave our luggage safely at the front desk and "Enrique" recommended we have breakfast at So Cal Restaurant on the premises. He assured us he would keep checking if a room became available. After a delicious meal, we walked back to the comfortable hotel lobby and relaxed while waiting for our room. We were so tired from a night of no sleeping that we practically fell asleep in the chairs. Enrique, once again, came through with an inviting room that soon became available. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed as he directed us to our room and advised us of the many amenities available to guests. We were very pleased with our room and were thrilled to be able to check in earlier than anticipated. We fell asleep in the comfortable bed and woke up to clearing skies and headed to the pool. Afterwards we walked around the area, made a few stops and headed back to hotel. Next shower and change, Oasis pool bar for a drink (Kudos to Sierra for her recommendations and terrific cocktails) a quick stop at the firepits, and fast walk to the concert venue directly on the premises. What a great show!! Just fabulous!! The best part, we were able to roll off our chairs after the concert to our room which was SO convenient. We took beautiful pictures that if one didn't know, would think they were taken in Hawaii. It truly felt the same! Other staff at the front desk were equally kind and welcoming. Can't say enough about our trip. If you are contemplating the many choices offered on Shelter Island, do yourself a favor and make the right choice -Humphrey's Half Moon Inn. You definitely will not be disappointed!
