Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful experience at FDR, especially with the incredible nanny service that made family time so special while allowing us some well-deserved downtime. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt very welcoming. However, the facilities seemed a bit outdated, and some advertised activities were limited due to the low occupancy during our stay. Overall, it’s a great family-friendly resort if you're looking for a supportive environment for kids.
Our stay at FDR was truly unforgettable! The location was stunning, with easy access to both the beach and plenty of family-friendly activities. The rooms were bright and comfortable, definitely catering to families. The service provided by the staff was top-notch and really made our experience special, particularly the vacation nanny service. On the downside, some dining options didn't quite meet our expectations, and while it wasn’t a luxury resort, the charm outweighed the need for polish.
We had a fantastic family vacation at this resort, which is tailor-made for parents and young children. The staff is incredibly attentive and genuinely caring, ensuring both kids and parents feel at ease. The pool and beach access were perfect for our little ones, but the dining options could use more variety. Despite the rooms being a bit dated, they were clean and comfortable, making it a great value for family-friendly accommodations.
The resort offers a fun atmosphere for families, especially those with young kids, but it's definitely not without its shortcomings. The accommodations are spacious, and the activities available are great for children. However, the food quality and cleanliness leave much to be desired, and service can be slow and unfriendly. The beach isn't as kept up as I'd hoped, but the overall experience was enjoyable for my family.
I had a mixed experience at Franklyn D Resort & Spa. While the on-site nanny service was fantastic and allowed me to truly relax knowing my child was cared for, the overall facilities and dining leaves much to be desired. The rooms felt dated and often lacked basic supplies, and the service at the restaurants was painfully slow.
My time at Franklyn D Resort & Spa was a delightful escape, especially for families with young kids. The nanny service was a lifesaver, allowing me to enjoy some much-needed relaxation. While the food didn't always meet high expectations and the resort showed some signs of aging, the attentive staff and engaging environment made up for it. Overall, I left with a smile and cherished memories. 😊
I had an amazing experience at Franklyn D Resort & Spa, especially with the incredible nanny service and commitment to family-friendly amenities. The food was delicious and the staff was warm. However, the rooms felt a bit dated, and the beach could be small for adult swimming. Overall, I would highly recommend it for families!
My stay at Franklyn D Resort & Spa was filled with moments of joy, especially thanks to the personalized nanny service that let my partner and me enjoy some well-deserved time together. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always making me feel welcomed. but the overall condition of the facilities left a lot to be desired, highlighting the need for improvements.
My family and I had a thoroughly enjoyable trip at FDR, which was highlighted by the exceptional nanny service. The resort's facilities were comfortable, though not pristine, and the food was good but could be hit or miss. The laid-back atmosphere and attentive staff made our vacation truly relaxing, especially for us parents. Despite some minor cleanliness issues, I found the charm of the place suitable for families looking to bond and unwind together.
Our stay was a mixed bag. The nanny service was exceptional and truly a highlight of our trip, providing us with much-needed adult time, but the resort itself fell short in many other areas. While the location is nice and the rooms were spacious, the overall dining and service experience left a lot to be desired, making it hard to fully enjoy our vacation.
