The owner of this establishment was very welcoming and accommodating. The service was excellent and the servers were awesome. Even the security was too notch. They never forgot my name, even with so many other patrons there. The grounds keeper picked fresh coconut off the tree for me and gave me mangoes as well. My experience was second to none!

This was such a great experience. The condos are spacious and have balconies overlooking the beach. Our nanny was great for my kiddos. They had a ton of fun at the pool, kid's beach, and game room. The food was AMAZING. There was always a variety of food options, American and traditional Jamaican fare. The staff was accomodating and made us feel at home. The bartenders were great and allowed my kids to order their special slushies and Shirley Temples 😂 We love it here and will definitely be back! Thank you FDR for making this a memorable vacation!

Liked the professionalism of the staff and how everyone tried to make you comfortable, including the Manager/Proprietor. Didn’t like that I spent a week without TV, though that could have been an after effect of the storm Beryl. A bit of upgrading to the whole facility to make it a little more attractive would do a great deal with the great staff. Thanks Manager for helping to make my stay a good one!

During our recent stay at the Franklyn D. Resort (FDR) in Jamaica, we experienced the onset of Hurricane Beryl. Despite the challenging circumstances, our experience at FDR was exceptional, and we are incredibly grateful for the staff and management's efforts. Due to the hurricane, the resort had to operate with fewer amenities than usual. However, this did not diminish our experience. The staff and management were outstanding, going above and beyond to ensure the comfort and safety of all guests. Unlike other hotels that crowded guests into large convention rooms, FDR allowed us to remain in our safe and comfortable accommodations. This was particularly important as we were traveling with two teenagers who also appreciated the home-like atmosphere of the rooms. The resort's food was excellent, and the service was spectacular, with a clear emphasis on safety. The staff's attention to detail and their dedication to guest welfare were evident throughout our stay. Even under the stress of a hurricane, the team at FDR managed to provide a sense of normalcy and comfort. In summary, our family would highly recommend FDR and we plan to return. We cannot thank the management and staff enough for their exceptional care and service during such a stressful time.

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.

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!
