The property has the potential to be beautiful, but it needs serious repairs. There is no ventilation in the room I was in, so because of this, the condensation of the warm water would build up and cause the walls to sweat. The staff were wonderful and accommodating. The food and drinks were delicious. I was a solo traveler, and I felt safe on the property.

The food was delicious. It's a perfect destination if you are travelling with young children and although the property is quite outdated (but very clean), we would love to come back.

Our family has been coming to FDR for years. The staff is so friendly and just amazing! There are lots of fun activities, especially for kids. Everyone loves the 100 foot waterside, playing pool volleyball, hermit crab races, and large pool to name a few. Even with the hurricane that hit the day before, staff did an incredible job, cleaning up the property and Working together to ensure we (21 of us) had a great time. We highly recommend this place… The nannies are the best!!!

We absolutely loved the nanny feature in this property and got so lucky to have Deborah as our nanny. The activities are fun and they find creative ways to engage the kids. Since we went during low occupancy season, most of the resort's restaurants were closed down so there were limited food options (although the food was fresh and delicious) and the resort seemed quite "dead". The pools were not appealing with dead bugs floating at the top although the beach was sandy beautiful and ocean gorgeous. The resort could use some maintenance, the rooms were not really comfortable and required 3 maintenance visits during our 3 days. Service was generally good and accommodating. I would recommend to go with young children for a limited number of days during a popular holiday and plan for 1-2 excursions if you do not need the "frills" or "luxury" of a 5 star resort.

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!
