I will start off by saying that many of the reviews I read on trip advisor were very accurate and what you get from your trip is up to you. We have stayed at several all-inclusive resorts before (Sandals and Ibeorstart chains) and upon arrival my husband and I were a little apprehensive because of our expectations. We truely had... more

My husband booked this trip at the last minute for us and our 3 kids (11, 8 & 5). Other than not getting the white sand beach I was expecting we all had a great and relaxing time. Our nanny stayed late to meet the kids since we got in after her usual time. The kids took to her and... more

My family (2 adults, 10 and 5 year old girls) just returned from 11 days at FDR and we have many great things to say about them. Our original stay was to be 8 days/7 nights, but I (the mom) got sick the night before we were supposed to leave, so by the time we got the travel insurance organized... more

This was our first visit to FDR. I say 'first' because I can definitely see us returning sometime in the future. However, it will probably be in a few years, when the kids are older. We booked this one largely because of the nannies. However, it wasn't the panacea we had hoped it would be. Mostly because of scheduling. For... more

We just returned from our second stay at FDR. I wish I was still there. My wife, 7-year-old, and I flew in Saturday, June 14th, for a 6-night stay. The road from the airport to Runaway Bay was much, much better than the last time. The ride wasn't bad at all. Grab a Red Stripe as you leave the airport... more

We went down for a family wedding with approximately 28 people. Some families had children, others did not. The families with children were each provided a Nanny who cared for the children daily and even stayed in the evenings so the parents could enjoy the wedding get togethers. The kids loved it and the parents loved it more. Those without... more

We just returned from the most beautiful 10-day stay at FDR. We are so in love with this resort, the Rance family and the people that work there. First and foremost, Frank Rance (Mr. FDR), his family and staff are nothing short of wonderful. Gracious, warm, charming, and caring. No hotel or resort can match the type of personal attention... more

Our family has just returned home from FDR. All in all we had a good time. This hotel gives you things that no other hotel gives...nanny, ability to meet other guests, employees know you and your family by name. It is almost as if you are at a family camp. The kids play all day and at night moms and... more

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We took our 19month old here earlier this month and it is by far the bast family holiday that we have had. The staff are generally very good, the nannies are totally amazing and everyone wants to make your stay the best possible. The airport; An experience !! Total disorganisation I think is... more
