Franklyn D. Resort (FDR)
Runaway Bay, Jamaica

This resort is a favorite with families. It offers a supervised children's program, but the resort also has a unique feature: Vacation Nannies. One nanny is assigned to every suite and tends to the children's needs; babysitting services in the evening are also available for a very low fee.

The property is a big hit with the kids because they are offered everything a child could want: a kids' and teens' disco, an arts and crafts center (all the kids make leather necklace nametags for their first project), and more.

There's a full array of watersports as well and two peaceful bays that are calm enough for children's swimming.

Clientele: families

Good Choice If:

you're looking for a resort with supervised kids' programs but with the added luxury of a private nanny
