Staff was awesome

There is nothing worse than spending your hard owned money at a dirty hotel. They had no food. No guests. Disgusting never again

Quite

This property had limited food options and it wasn’t buffer style and bar was not stocked with most items and almost no entertainment and entire resort shut down at 11/00 PM

I like that the property was close to the beach and they had pools and slides for the children. The staff tried their best to make everyone in the party comfortable. They did well to accommodate guests with allergies. The nanny service was helpful because my kids loved the nanny. The nightly entertainment was great and eventful. Things to work on would be updating the property and expanding the menu choices.

I loved the family setting and the staff was wonderful and polite it was a great all around experience

I loved the entire experience. The staff at FDR have left an ever lasting imprint of what "One Love" really means. ❤️

Pro: So much fun for the children! Nanny service was one of a kind! Con: Bar options and liquor quality could be improved! No good tequila very poor for shots!

Quiet family oriented resort. Friendly staff. 5 star Allinclusive dining. Just a piece of paradise.

This is our sixth time at this resort. Nothing compares to the uniqueness of this place. The nannies are amazing. Parents can have a true vacation. It is a small resort, so even with older kids, you feel comfortable letting them roam around. The food is amazing and it's also Jamaican-owned, so your money stays in the country. The staff is super friendly. This is not your typical big all-inclusive. But what it lacks in size, it makes up in heart!

This is a sanctuary for family vacations. I loved everything about this place. The staff is A1, they are friendly and very helpful. The nany service is just what i needed. My kids fell in love with what they experienced. My husband and i were able to relax knowing our kids were having fun and were taken care of.

Love the staff and the service of this resort.

This property was a beautiful way to see the island for the first time. Lovely surroundings showing you the beauty and natural land of Jamaica. Staff is beyond wonderful helpful and very friendly. This is a kid friendly resort with nannies on the property to tend to those who have families and will give you an authentic Jamaican experience.

It’s a family place for sure. Very welcoming and hospitable, a bit outdated but it’s for families not luxurious couples type of place. Food gets 12 of of 10

Property needs severe updating. Staff and food/drink were amazing. Owner is amazing but hotel needs a revamp

Staff is friendly caring going above and beyond their duties.

Excellent for a family or quiet get away. Food is delicious, property is walkable with plenty of activities to do or not. 😆 The snorkeling a is fantastic as is the ride on the glass bottom boat. Guests are like family most people we met have come here for at minimum 5-20 years. Lots of repeat customers speaks for itself.

Just the vacation we needed. Staff was attentive and accommodating. Nanny service spectacular! We will be returning.

Beautiful grounds, amazing nanny service. The place was not busy the first few days of our stay and services and entertainment were lacking as a result, which we were not informed of prior to our stay. Also the Internet service was terrible.

Authentic Jamaican experience....staff and food were excellent. Hotel could definitely use some fixing up...but a great place for relaxing

The hotel has a beautiful architecture, the rooms are spacious and have very comfortable beds! The food is awesome, authentic jamaican cuisine. I loved my gin and tonics. The stay includes a lot of fun and entertaining activities, like boat rides, snorkeling an fishing. All the staff is attentive and eager to assist you. I was traveling on my own and felt safe during my whole stay. Perhaps the property needs a little bit of fixing but all around I rather stay here than at a big chain hotel

As a family with two young kids, we were delighted by our experience. It may not be for everyone - this is not the same as an experience at a large all-inclusive resort. Things are a little more relaxed and unpredictable, in terms of precisely which services will be available when, etc. But I felt like both us and the kids got so much more out of it. FDR has a lot going for it: unusually spacious (double) rooms inside non-generic little Spanish-style buildings; access to a beautiful neighbouring beach (alongside its small one); a waterslide where kids (and possibly adults) will happily spend hours; free boat rides; pretty tasty a la carte meals; a location near lots of good day-trip options. But its charm is particularly a credit to its staff - not just the nannies, who may be a main selling point, but also the wonderfully warm folks around the resort, like the lifeguard who taught our 7-year-old how to snorkel, the boat captain who took us out to fish one morning, and the restaurant and bar staff we felt like we knew by the second time they served us. Possibly helped by its Jamaican ownership, it feels way less impersonal than any resort I've been to previously. All this to say, we left with a lot of warm feelings and are eager to return.

This is definitely a family-oriented resort, esp for young children. Good food & drink, lots of fresh seafood & Jamaican fare. Staff is attentive and helpful. Liked that it is a smaller place; not large place with loud crowds. Enjoyed the activities incl. beach volleyball, glass bottom boat, beach access, ocean kayak, fresh water pool, sun loungers. Front office arranged safe & excellent quality transportation to Dunn's River Falls. Only downside was that wifi signal not strong and drops frequently. Overall, an excellent stay.

The property was OK..there are a few concerns that was voiced and the management i addressed was very dismissive...I am a vivid Traveller and certain areas needs improvement. Wonderful activities for children!

Enjoyed our time here very much. The staff were wonderful, friendly, attentive and caring. There is always something to do for adults and kids. Highly recommend this property to families who want a safe place with the option to leave their children with other children and have caring adults watch them while you go relax or play. The spa services are fantastic too!

The place was very clean and the staff was very accommodating.

We had an enjoyable stay but it did have some bumps along the way...Our hot water failed multiple times and was never properly fixed. We were giving our baby a bath when we suddenly had no hot water, and maintenance, after their own review, could only tell us a plumber was coming the next day, which never happened. The water was never fixed. Also, the baby mattress we were provided with originally was moldy and stained. We requested a new one which was clean so they did fix that but why give out a clearly stained one to begin with? The rooms themselves were nice and larger than expected. The nanny service was fantastic - ours was friendly, followed directions very well, and was always very pleasant and good with our kids. The staff overall at the resort was excellent. The food was good, though a bit redundant at the buffet. There were several areas still under a bit of construction that i think should be blocked off better since it's a family-oriented resort. Our stay was good overall despite some of the hardships.

Trich the manager was super helpful!

Everything

Food was not good, roaches, black mold. Everything stops at 5pm. Feel we were mislead on the resort. If you wanted to snorkel that was extra money. Stayed the one night and got our refund.

If you are looking for a family-friendly resort that looks after your childcare needs while you enjoy the relaxation of your stay, this is the place to be—one of the few resorts I know that offers each guest a nanny service. They will look after your child and provide them with any required support. My children loved their nanny and were present for all the activities they took part in, including swimming, snorkelling, arts and crafts, tennis, and basketball. The food was good, with a selection of Caribbean, French, Italian and Indian food. The small place made it feel more community-like and made for a short walk to the beach and other amenities within the resort. The staff were extremely caring and would look out for your children if they decided to sit in a different dining area. This resort has many return guests, and I can see why. My kids and I loved it so much we plan on going back again within the next year or 2.

Hotel not 5 star @ all. Property needs to be upgraded, change the entrance gate, needs to be exterminated had ants, roaches & even lizard inside the rooms that I was staying into. Most of all when tourists goes there we needs to feel welcome @ first entering there. Overall some of the staffs was was good & food was great 👍. I was going to changed hotel like other tourists that came there within 24-48 hours. The reviews wasn’t true. Another thing was very good for families with children 💯 the nannies was great ❤️🙌
