We went to the FDR for a destination wedding. We had two small children (8 months & 22 months) with us and I had reservations about using the nanny, since I am a stay-at-home mom and my kids are super-clingy. We were assigned Sophia, who was fantastic! As I suspected, my kids wouldn't stay with her - but she was... more

TERRIBLE IN EVERY SINGLE WAY! We went to a wedding. SO many things went wrong! The staff is incompetent and SLOW. Altough, to their credit, they are very nice. While stealing shrimp from the wedding dinner in napkins (this was witnessed by someone in our party). If you want scalding or freezing water in your shower, stay here! Otherwise,,,, Don't... more

We (mid - late 30's couple, 3 year old and 4 month old) spent 6 nights at FDR in late March / April and enjoyed our stay. The resort is somewhat simple and small which we found refreshing after vacationing at larger, fancier and louder resorts. 1) transport from airport - we took other tripadvisor advice and booked a private... more

We Just returned from FDR at Runaway bay .. The pictures on the web dont explain the fun and the beauty this place is all about . The property is a bit tired compared to the modern resorts but its comfy for a family and you soon overlook some of the the wear and tear . The property is well... more

The facility is run down but clean. There is entertainment at night but it goes on until about 10 pm and can be heard in virtually every room regardless of where you are in the resort so it makes it hard for the little ones to go to sleep. The beach is tiny but there is an adjacent beach which... more

We stayed for a week at FDR in March and didn't want to leave. Our nanny Natalie was great and the rest of the staff was equally impressive. The resort is much smaller than others we have been to, but we loved the fact that we could see our Son with the nanny while we were doing other things. This... more

Our stay was from the 17th of Jamuary to the 20th, this seems to be off peak time so the place was not that crowded. The staff was really really friendly and down to earth. The nanny came and took out son and i just lounged about, my wife made full use of jacuzzi, and the pool to get a... more

Our 10 and 12 year old sons were a little apprehensive about having a vacation nanny and they were among the older children there. There were some teens but they seemed to have younger siblings. Antioinette, our nanny, was awsome and had won them over by the time we left. Although we didn't neccessarilyu need the boys to be watched... more

This was our second time having Coretta as our son's Vacation Nanny! Why? She's awesome! She's our family away from home...Tyrese wanted to go back to the resort the next week after coming back home just to be with her! Coretta is very professional, yet friendly and always gives 'service with a smile!' She's a definite asset to the resort... more

This is our second stay at FDR in 4 years (3 if you count FDR Pebbles) and we had a "fine" time. We travel extensively with our 3 young children: 1, 3, 5 year old and this is our 3rd trip to Caribbean this year. Overall, our vacation nanny was great, the room was spacious and comfortable, staffs were always... more
