The
Franklyn D. Resort is Jamaica’s premier all-suite, all-inclusive
family resort. It was
designed to celebrate the family with a level of caring unequaled to
any other resort in the world. It’s as life would be if you
were to vacation in an elegant and private Jamaican home.
The first thing that strikes you at the FDR, as
the resort is affectionately known, is how welcome you and your family
feel the minute you arrive. Greeting you in your suite is someone
you will come to know and love - your very own Vacation Nanny. With
tuneful names like Georgia, Jasmine and Francine, your Vacation Nanny
is there to look after you for most of the day, every day.
It's people like your Vacation Nanny
throughout the Franklyn D. Resort that make your whole family feel
at home. There are no formalities, and best of all, no worries. Your
Vacation Nanny looks after you, your suite (you never have to rinse a
wet swimsuit or make sandwiches or call room service), and especially
your children whom she will happily supervise all day long.
One feature of FDR that many parents particularly
enjoy is how close-by everything is, so the kids are never far away.
Safety and security are always our priority. Children enjoy a sense of
independence that never takes them too far from a parental eye, or the
attentive companionship of your Vacation Nanny and our fun-loving
Coordinators.
FDR Pebbles' natural playground is just a short 30 minute
ride, east of Montego Bay at the heart of Jamaica's historic north
coast. Nestled between the turquoise Caribbean and picturesque green
mountains, opportunities for adventure abound for all members of your
family. Learning and fun go hand in hand! You'll learn about the
island's rich history and experience the ecology of the sea and its
coral reefs. You'll visit the "Eighth Wonder of the World, "
the place where bananas come from, and learn why the Caribbean Sea
glistens and dances in the richest blues imaginable
VACATION NANNY
On arrival, families with small children are assigned their own
Vacation Nanny, specially trained to take care of the needs of their
family and to care for your small children all day long. Your dedicated
Nanny will be there during the daytime, ensuring your youngsters
receive the care and attention you expect. They'll take them to
activities and accompany them to the Small World Kids Club which is
packed with state-of-the-art educational and computer games, toy, a
library and untold hours of, well, just great fun!
TEENS AND PRE-TEENS
Teens and Pre-Teens are special here. We've got some special places
just for them, such as our own supervised outdoor campsite under so
many stars, your teens won't believe they're real. They'll be taken to
beach parties, fishing, hiking, all-terrain bicycle trips, field trips
up the Martha Brae River. We'll even teach them how to sail or
windsurf.....AND we'll take children of all ages to heritage sites and
to a town that got its running water before New York City did.
