Spent two weeks at FDR with our 3 kids and my mother. This resort is definately for families with kids and not for couples. Kids were always occupied and our Nanny was really the best. I found all staff members well trained, courteous and friendly. As mentioned by other reviews the resort is in need of some desperate renovations. Pools... more

The food was excellent, not to mention the staff made us feel at home.My daughter stayed busy with her nanny doing fun activties the pool was her favorate.My only issue is there could have been... more

There is no beach to speak of. If you are going to Jamaica to enjoy some time on the beach- go somewhere else. FDR only has a small patch of dirt (no sand)- and the shallow entrance into the Caribbean is filled with rough coral and stones. This section of sea is the only murky, cloudy water on the island-... more

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 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
