More Info:
At FDR, we take pride in the pleasure we bring you. So treat your family to the best vacation ever! The Franklyn D. Resort (FDR) is located in Runaway Bay on Jamaica’s picturesque north coast. Ideal for little people, small and intimate, it is truly a remarkable new level of all-inclusive luxury, comfort, security, service, pampering and old-fashioned fun for the whole family in sensational suites beside the ocean.

On arrival, each family is assigned a personal, trained Nanny to attend their every need. Vacation Nannies will babysit and become your child's companion, so parents are free to enjoy their holiday and find time for each other. By the end of your stay, she will become a part of your family.

There are no "rooms" at FDR. Accommodation is in one, two or three-bedroom suites, each self-contained with its own kitchen and patio/terrace.

Franklyn D Resort (FDR) is Jamaica’s premier all-suite, all inclusive resort designed to celebrate the family with a level of caring unequaled at any other resort in the world.

FDR is an all inclusive resort for families built in a low-rise Georgian Mediterranean architectural style, surrounded by gardens and fronting on a white sand beach. There are 3 restaurants, 3 swimming pools and separate activity centers for children and teens, providing a wide variety of supervised activities. Our new 100' waterslide Big Blue is creating a lot of excitement for kids and adults alike!


Nearby Attractions:
At Franklyn D. Resort, we bend over backwards to ensure that each and every family member has a carefree and memorable experience. Specific programs are carefully designed to include activities that infants, children and teens love. Vacation Nannies are always there to accompany your children as they make their way through all the programs, activities and games we have in store for them.

The pool area features a a separate shallow wading pool for toddlers and small children as well as a separate "slide" pool which is quite a hit with the youngsters. Vacation Nannies will keep a close watch on the little ones so the parents can also relax while the kids splash and safely have fun. Kids can also enjoy sports facilities offered by FDR. There are soccer lessons and snorkeling lessons, glass-bottom boat rides and kayaks, tennis and basketball and bicycle rides. They certainly won't forget this vacation any time soon.

The Kiddie's Centre is the hub of activity for children of different ages and is open from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Our children’s program is as varied and enjoyable as the junior guests themselves. The real youngsters have their own playground, arts and crafts centre, paddling pool and activity programs like shell hunts along the beach and tie dye classes.

Kingston overlooks what is the seventh largest natural harbour in the world. Like a fan, the city spreads north from the harbour as far as the foothills of the famous Blue Mountains - impressive peaks that form a glorious backdrop to the whole.
