photoFranklyn D. Resort is Jamaica's first all-suite, all-inclusive resort for families that allows guests to vacation in a private setting familiar to that of an elegant Jamaican home.  Located in Runaway Bay, these Seaside Suites are set on a private beach among lush foliage on the Caribbean Sea. Runaway Bay is a self contained resort destination with several attractions to visit, such as the Green Grotto Caves near Discovery Bay which drops more than 100 ft and bottom out at Green Grotto Lake. There you can take a boat ride and marvel at the natural rock formations.

Overlooking Discovery Bay (10 minutes ride from FDR) is Columbus Park, the island's only open air museum. Here you'll find an interesting and informative collection of artifacts that take you through the history of Jamaica. There is also Puerto Seco Beach, where FDR arranges family fun picnics. Runaway Bay is just 30 miles east of Ocho Rios. The Franklyn D. Resort includes in its rates, daily trips to Ocho Rios for shopping and for visiting Dunns River Falls.

ACTIVITIES

The most unique aspect of this resort is its Vacation Nanny concept whereby each family gets their own personal nanny to attend to their every need. Your friendly Vacation Nanny will babysit and be a companion to your children, thus enabling parents to capture the flavour of being in a Jamaican home while on holiday. The resort boasts a fully supervised Mini Club featuring a range of activities for children and a program designed for teenagers, while adults are free to indulge in a variety of  sports and entertainment offered at the resort.    

GIRL FRIDAY/VACATION NANNY

At the Franklyn D. Resort, we have given our guest the extra special touch to their holiday by providing them with their personal Vacation Nanny: a member of staff readily available to care for guests every need.

Your Vacation Nanny is highly trained and is on hand to take the worry out of your holiday. Warm, attentive and friendly, she also respects your privacy and will only be there when needed. Should parents need time alone to go shopping, scuba diving or participate in other activities, the Vacation Nanny will care for the children by taking them to the playground, by the poolside to play games, or for a stroll around the property. Vacation Nannies will also provide additional assistance to parents by bathing, dressing and feeding infants at meal times.

Family reunions are also a special time for the Vacation Nannies who are often called on to organize dinners, birthday parties and anniversaries for guests.

Our guest's appreciation for our Vacation Nanny are reflected in the numerous letters of commendations sent by guests each week. In your home away from home, how better to spend an all-inclusive holiday than being attended to by someone who will develop a caring bond with your children while also making sure your vacation has that special touch.
