Franklyn D is my family's choice, over and over again. They deliver, exactly what they promise - and then some. Secure, friendly, truly pro-family environment. Capable, competent, emotionally intelligent staff. Wide range of activities to keep us engaged and entertained. With a great environment for relaxation. The children couldn't get enough of everything.

ME: "I'm going to an all inclusive that includes a nanny" Nephew: "I'll look for your kids on Ebay" That seemed to be the attitude we got from everybody who we told. 'You're going to leave your kids with a stranger?' If you think that, you will be missing out on a great vacation. Really? over 400 reviews on here... More

We always keep on hand a large quantity of crib sheets and blankets, because we are committed to families.

Just back from our second trip to the FDR and we were not disappointed again!!! Of course the first night, once again we sat at dinner and thought what have we gotten ourselves into. The first night always seems to be a little chaotic, we always go to dinner late and the food is gone and then the kids do... More

We have been to many all-inclusive resorts over the years and consider ourselves experienced travelers. I could easily write a book about our first visit to FDR but I’ll try to highlight the main points instead: We arrived on April 16, 2013 for a seven night stay with our 3 children – 9 year old twins and a 16 month...

I went for a weekend trip and was pleasantly surprised, I went in with zero expectations. The service was GREAT but Damien the bartender was not a pleasant person, maybe he was having a bad night because everyone else was great. The food was great, the room was good we got an upgrade which was cool. A little tip; this... More

These guests travelled without kids and only stayed with us for one night from April 20-21, 2013. The house count was somewhat low so these guests did not get the FDR experience in its entirety. We had our big reggae band, Gala Jamaica Buffet and Pool Party by the main bar, but as always we have to be aware that... More

My wife, two-year old daughter and I booked with FDR after reading extensive trip advisor reviews. I can whole-heartedly say that FDR was the perfect resort for what we were looking for. In fact, it tugged at our heart-strings when we had to leave. The best testimonial is probably that of my wife who, for the first time since we... More

Small but sweet. Perfect size for me, but if you like a big playground to play in, this resort isnt for you. Its perfect for families, the kids have so many activities that the wonderful nanny's do with them that they have no problem falling asleep at night, for minimum fee, you can hire for evenings also.

From the moment you arrive the warmth is apparent. Your very own Vacation Nanny is assigned to your family from 9 Am - 4:45 PM at no additional cost to you. The Nanny plays, pampers, feeds and cares for your children. f you have a special needs child they cater to all and you get the needed break too. Even... More

My family and I have just returned from our vacation to FDR. This is our second visit and we are still loving it. When the decision was to be made on the choice of hotel, and although we have been to others, FDR received all our votes. I am particularly impressed with their nanny service. As a mother of 3...

I made the decision to go to FDR based entirely on the reviews I read online. Going forward I will do a more indept research before making a decision. The FDR was not a good choice for us. My family and I did not enjoy our five day stay. Once we got off the bus from the Airport we wondered... More

This family stayed from March 25-30, 2013 and booked in at the Local Resident's Rate. Their suite was found to have one bedpost unstable and this would normally be identified and corrected by the nanny but the family declined the nanny service at check-in because their kids were big. We are really sorry that this occurred during the family’s visit... More
