FDR named in TOP FIVE BEST family resorts

- Carl Gilchrist Gleaner Writer

THE HOTEL that is renowned for its nannies, Franklyn D Resort (FDR), has been named among the top five all-inclusive resorts for families for this year.

In an article published recently on the website www.trekbible.com, FDR, a beachside resort located in Runaway Bay on Jamaica’s north coast, was named number two in the top five resorts for families in a survey spanning vacation spots in the Caribbean and North America.

“We are extremely delighted to be listed in the top five resorts for families this year, even more so as we were placed in the top two,” said a spokespers­on from the hotel.

“At FDR, we take pride in consistent­ly offering world-class service to our guests, thus effecting a high level of repeat clientele who have become accustomed to our warm hospitalit­y. Parents love us, their children love us, our vacation nannies are fantastic, and we aim to continue being the consummate profession­als at what we do as we aim to be number one in the world.”

The exciting news is yet another feather in the cap of the hotel, which has also captured several other awards during 2018.

In June, FDR was honoured with a place in TripAdviso­r’s Hall of Fame category after earning a TripAdviso­r Certificat­e of Excellence for the fifth consecutiv­e year.

Earlier in the year, FDR had received the TripAdviso­r Travelers’ Choice Award, for which winners are determined based on millions of reviews and opinions from TripAdviso­r travellers across the world.

On April 26, The New York Times published an article hailing the amazing service offered by the nannies at the FDR, the writer mentioning vacation nanny Lisa Dixon by name.

The top-five resort list comprises four resorts in the Caribbean and one in the US.

The top five family resorts to go this year, according to Trekbible, are:

1. Coconut Bay Beach Resort, St Lucia

2. Franklyn D Resort and Spa, Jamaica

3. Iberostar Bavaro Suites, the Dominican Republic

4. Beaches Resort Villages and Spa, Turks and Caicos

5. Tanque Verde Ranch, Arizona, USA
