We have 3 young children...5, 2 and 3 months. What a great vacation! We requested 2 nannies ($20 a day for the extra nanny) and it was well worth it. My husband and I relaxed while the nannies worked together with the three children and they brought the baby to me to breastfeed every few hours. The resort is small... more

I stayed at FRD from Jan 4-7, 2009. I had a great time at this resort. The rooms are great, the staff is great, the food is great. I do not have anything bad to say about this place. The first night I got there I was in a resort view room. I was given a sheet to fill out... more

I have stayed at many fine hotels all over the US. I've stayed in Ritz Carltons, W, The Conrad in Chicago, etc... I can honestly say that this resort has the best staff I've ever encountered!! Everyone from the person who drove us to the resort from the airport to the people who bussed the tables was incredible. If you... more

We had a wonderful time (travelled with 2 small children aged 3.5 and 1.5). On the 'slightly' negative side, the accomodation is somewhat dated, and the resort small (compared to many "all-inclusives"). However, the quality and warmth of the resort staff and nannies and the enterntainment for the kids, make this the ideal vacation for a family with small children,... more

We have been doing constant upgrades throughout our suites over the past year. It seems as if you might have received a suite that have not been...

We went to FDR from March 20th-March30th. We have 3 children: 9 yrs, 7 yrs, and 4.5 yrs. It was their first time out of the country and, having never been to Jamaica, I had concerns about safety, the driving, the resort, the nannies, the food – you name it. I can honestly tell you that it was the best... more

A true vacation kids AND parents. I have 3 kids (4 year old twins and a 3 year old). I went there with no intention of taking advantage of the free nanny service. I would never leave my child with a stranger. I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG! I tried to let our nanny go home the first day. She... more

We have just returned from a wonderful week at FDR. Like other reviewers, we were completely amazed by the quality of the staff. Everyone we encountered provided top notch service in a friendly manner. We were so impressed by the number of staff for such a small resort. There were constantly people cleaning the beach, mopping the walkways, tending to... more

Not everyone has heard about this resort, but it is truly a one of a kind that has yet to be duplicated, at least I don't think. We decided to go to this hotel to meet our family. My wife (due in May), my son (18 months) and I met up with my 2 other sisters and there families.(One with... more

We just got back from a 1 week trip to FDR. We didn't know what to expect - but had an absolutely fantastic time. The staff is great, but it was our vacation nanny that made our trip exceptional. We have a 2 year old who is a bit on the shy, hesitant side with strangers and she and our... more

FDR exceeded our expectations. I wouldn't call this a plush resort but it is completely comfortable. And the staff is excellent. We stayed for 10 days and had all kinds of requests -- I can't think of one that was not fufilled. Special romantic dinner by candlelight set up at the end of the pier? No problem. Pack a special... more
