Franklyn D Resort & Spa

The staff at this resort is fabulous. The nannies are amazing. Other than that, the place is pretty rundown. Nothing looks like what you see in the pictures on their website. Half of the things they list were not open the entire time we were there. The slides are broken in the main pool. Everything is faded. Everything needs fixed painted updated. You have the exact same thing every day for breakfast and lunch. The food was Just OK. If they would invest money into fixing the place up and bringing it more current It would be a beautiful place But as since right now, I will not be back so make sure that you ask for current pictures and exact information on what is it is not open and what is and is Prior to booking.

When you get a welcome message posted like this on your room door, you know this place is very special. Everyone, including the owner, treats you like family. An all-inclusive family Jamaican-owned resort that offers everything, including a nanny service. How ingenious of the owner to come up with such a great idea. I believe there are no other family resorts doing such a thing. Food is great with a different cuisine each night. There's also a grill bar where you can order food during the day, such as jerk chicken, burgers, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, fries, and onion rings. There are 2 beaches on the property, 3 pools, with one that has a water slide for the kids. Many activities for both adults and children, including snorkelling, kayaking. The nanny takes care of your children during the day, allowing the parents to have free, relaxing time for themselves. Truly a game changer if you are a parent with kids. The rooms are spacious and very cool with air conditioning, a fridge stacked with drinks and treats for the kids, free WiFi in the room and throughout the resort. My kids truly loved it the first time and nagged me for the next 6 months to go back. So we came back with the same results. Now I need to prepare again for another 6 months of nagging to return a 3rd time. Many reviews on this resort are return guests, and it's for a valid reason. No reason to say goodbye, because as Arnold Schwarzenegger says, "I'll be back!"

Shops are a drive away. But the beach is wonderful. 8 days stay and we didn’t miss a day without time in the soothing waters of the Caribbean sea. Clean beach, you can see the clean sea floor even at depths of your height. A place designed for children and couples alike

We loved the authentic Jamaican, small and family feel of this resort. Like most guests, we went for the nanny and was not disappointed. Food was great and way better than most r resorts too. The outdated facilities didn’t bother me at all but felt like the whole property could use a real “deep clean” and increased maintenance. The floors felt like the needed a heavy duty mopping, cobwebs from the corners and shower scum really worked. Our nanny’s daily housekeeping clean was perfectly fine— I’m referring to industrial grade cleaning. This is my primary hesitation to returning- otherwise we loved FDR!

If you are not from Jamaica and looking for authentic Jamaican food. FDR is the place to be. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner was exceptional. I have no complaint regarding the food for the days we spent there. The nanny service was great. Customer service was great. As for the rooms. The rooms could use some updates. But we really enjoyed the food. The food their was for better than some of the street food and restaurant food. Great value!!

Staff members were amazing - every single one. Low key property. Not luxurious and can see need for certain repairs but importantly, rooms were spotless, food was great, staff, ambiance and sense of family were amazing. My son’s new favorite place to stay. Great for kids and families.

This is a place of fun and a place where you can call home away from home. Get here for an experience of a lifetime. Fun in the sun, sand and sea. Food is delicious with a touch of love from the chefs. Check out this resort for fun, adventure, and food.

The ideal place for a family vacation, great staff, great food - all inclusive. Many activities for everyone, young and old. The rooms are nice with a small kitchenette with fruits cereal and drinks. A small fridge. There’s A/C in the rooms. A nice quiet beach. The best part is the nanny service which is included in your package. As a parent, you can truly feel like you’re on vacation. We were there 2 years ago and my kids are excited to go back again this year.
