the little family place with the nannies


everything included!

Mark & Kent:

FDR is a resort where families come back year after year. The staff is amazing and makes you feel at home. The food is great (especially for an all inclusive). The drinks are good (not cheap bad tasting alcohol). The kids have fun as they become friends with the other kids at the resort. And for the parents, it’s great to feel like you’re on vacation and not just parenting on vacation. The Nannie’s are a huge help. The rooms are very spacious with the kids having their own separate sleeping space and bathroom. The resort has remarkably recovered from Hurricane Melissa with the storm not impacting our stay at all. It was our second year in a row here. We love it (and so do our kids)!

I’m so, so glad I found this place–we actually cancelled another trip to book at FDR. Sadly, we booked for right after Hurricane Melissa hit, but they rebooked us with no issues. Taking the hurricane into account, the resort looks great. Some parts were closed for repairs, which is completely understandable, and everyone made the best of it. I can completely understand why people come here year over year (we may have been the ONLY family there who wasn’t yet a repeat visitor!), and I cannot thank every person at FDR enough for making our very first family vacation such a beautiful experience.

The Only Place I Want to Travel With Young Kids! BEST NANNIES/STAFF FOR KIDS!

We had the BEST vacation with our three young kids (under three) at FDR Jamaica. I would highly, highly, highly recommend it if you are a parent of young kids who wants to get away with them but also wants to relax. The nannies – incredible!!!

Kevin Braswell
Tremendous service, delicious food and drinks, and a fantastic location made our stay truly enjoyable. Booking in-house activities like fishing and snorkeling was a breeze, and there were engaging guest events happening throughout the day. The front desk staff was especially helpful in arranging off-site excursions. The resort itself was clean and vibrant, with staff actively maintaining the grounds to keep everything picture-perfect.
Toby Newcomer
This was our second visit to FDR Holidays, and once again, it did not disappoint. While it’s not a 5-star luxury resort, it’s clean, incredibly family-friendly, and the staff are truly amazing. Many of them have been there for years, which really says a lot. The nannies are fantastic, and the entire team goes above and beyond. It’s a great spot for families with young kids — we even brought friends along this time, and now they can’t stop talking about it. Highly recommended!

I’ve been coming to Franklyn D. Resort since childhood, and it has always been a wonderful experience. Now, my kids love it just as much — it truly feels like a second home. Roxy, our nanny, is amazing, and the food never disappoints. It’s the perfect place in Runaway Bay, Jamaica, to unwind, reflect, and recharge.

We absolutely loved our stay at FDR! The nanny service was a standout, especially with other kids around. The nannies kept them engaged with fun activities, giving parents a real chance to relax. The resort is small, so by the end of the trip, you’re on a first-name basis with the staff. It has a warm, local, family vibe — nothing flashy, but genuinely welcoming. As long as your expectations match the laid-back atmosphere, you’re in for a great time. Highly recommend for families with young kids — we’ve already booked our return for 2025!

We visited FDR Holidays for the first time this March with our 6-month-old twin girls and instantly felt the charm of this place. It’s right by the water, run by genuine people, and has a refreshingly non-commercial vibe. We opted for an extra nanny and were pleased with both. What stood out most was the sense of camaraderie among fellow parents, which felt comforting after some tough months of raising little ones.
Kim H
We’ve been visiting Franklyn D. Resort for 26 years, so it felt only right to host our son’s wedding ceremony there. Their unwavering dedication and support made our special day truly unforgettable.
Jhoel Johnson
It’s very quiet and peaceful at night, and the nannies are great at interacting with kids. The food is amazing, and there are plenty of facilities to keep you engaged at FDR. The views from the room balconies and the beach are stunning, and the rooms are comfortable and perfect for relaxing.
Conor Daining
The staff was amazing — especially our nanny, Kerise. Our son was unwell when we arrived, and she took excellent care of him, allowing us to truly enjoy our vacation. The food was fantastic, and every staff member we interacted with was warm and welcoming. I would definitely recommend FDR to families looking for an affordable, laid-back resort experience in Runaway Bay, Jamaica.
Sarah Kainth
We loved our stay at Franklyn D. Resort & Spa in Runaway Bay, Jamaica, and truly felt that we got our money’s worth. Our nanny was wonderful — warm, attentive, and great with children. Our young son adored her. The food was excellent, and we’ll definitely be back.
Adam Klein
We’ve visited FDR four times now, and each stay has been a wonderful experience. The staff consistently go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The rooms are always in excellent condition. Whether you’re in the mood to socialize or prefer some quiet time, there’s always a space that suits your needs. Highly recommended — a perfect stay in Runaway Bay for families.
