A fun and exciting activity filled vacation for the kids, an intimate escape for Mom and Dad, and a carefree and relaxing holiday for the family! As a part of your package, each family is assigned a dedicated Vacation Nanny from check-in to check-out. She is your family’s Vacation Assistant who takes care of small hassles such as rinsing out a swimsuit to making sure the kids are fed at mealtimes, to stocking your fridge with family favorites. This is an indulgence you won’t find anywhere else in the Caribbean!

Awarded the TripAdvisor.com 2009, Best for Families in Latin American/Caribbean, FDR, as it’s affectionately known, is just a 60-minute drive from the Montego Bay airport.

Pre-teens and teens have their own special areas with Xbox360 and Nintendo WIIs, computers for email and surfing the internet, pool, ping pong, foosball and air hockey tables.

Feast on an abundance of great food at three restaurants and an all-day grill, try tempting libations from the bar, challenge your kids to a game of tennis, workout in the fitness center, venture out to sea in a kayak or sailboat, or take a shopping trip to Ocho Rios. It’s all included - Free WiFi, a 100’ waterslide, live nightly entertainment, an ocean trampoline, glass bottom boat rides, airport transfers and hotel taxes too.

Your Vacation Nanny
At Franklyn D. Resort, as part of your all-inclusive package, they give guests the best gift of all - a personal "Vacation Nanny." She is a qualified member of the staff, specifically assigned to only your family and always available to care for your family's every need.

Your Vacation Nanny is highly-trained and is on hand from 9:00 to 4:40 to take the worry out of your holiday. If you need her in the evenings, she is available at an extra rate. Warm, attentive and friendly, she respects your privacy and will be there only when needed. Should parents need time alone to relax, or to go shopping, scuba diving or to participate in all the other activities, your Vacation Nanny will care for your children by taking them to the pool or beach, the playground, for a walk, or to any of the many games, crafts and activities offered every day. Vacation Nannies also are happy to bathe and dress your children, as well as make sure they're fed at mealtimes. In addition, they will make sure your fridge is fully stocked with items of your choice before your return to your suite - which they will always keep neat and tidy.

Special occasions are also an opportunity to lean on the nannies. They are delighted to act as your 'vacation assistant' by organizing special events like family reunions, dinner parties, and birthday and anniversary celebrations.
