Truly unique among all inclusive resorts, at Franklin D. Resort and Spa you are greeted by an individually assigned Vacation Nanny who will be dedicated to the seamless delivery of your family vacation. Trained and intent on pampering your children, your Vacation Nanny gives you the opportunity to enjoy comfortable inclusions and numerous indulgences without worry of the kids.

Whether desiring more family time or wanting to enjoy exclusive relaxation away from the kids, your Vacation Nanny is the perfect supplement to your family plan. While together, your Vacation Nanny will help wherever needed, but is also sensitive to family privacy and time alone. When you’re ready to enjoy the pleasures of the Caribbean by yourselves, your Vacation Nanny becomes a full time escort for your children. While relaxing in the adults only, ten-seat Jacuzzi on the sun deck, your kids will be having a blast at the Yellow Bird Kid’s Club under the full service supervision of your Vacation Nanny.

There are more than enough activities at Franklyn D. Resort to keep your kids busy and having fun. One of the most popular places, the Yellow Bird Kid’s Club, is packed with everything from computer games and books to snorkeling lessons and beach picnics. When it’s time to cool off, kids will love speeding down the Big Blue, FDR’s one hundred foot water slide. During all inclusive activities, your children’s safety is meticulously looked after by your Vacation Nanny, leaving you complete peace of mind.

Teenagers will enjoy a unique collection of destinations and events to make theirs a memorable vacation. They can enjoy snorkeling, tennis, computers, games, disco and numerous other activities. Among the most popular endeavors in the all inclusive teen program is the Teen Scuba Diving Adventure. Trained instructors facilitate a safe and exploratory dive for an unforgettable experience. Franklin D. Resorts’ instructors further equip your teens with priceless life-long skills such as windsurfing, snorkeling and tennis.

If the adjoining mile long stretch of soft, sandy white beach hasn’t enticed you into a Caribbean slumber, there is more than enough entertainment, events and activities to give you a full day. Basketball, beach volleyball and tennis are just the beginning of a long list of land and water sports included in your stay at Franklin D. Resort and Spa. Let the excitement of an excursion to Dolphin Cove set the romantic tone for the evening (not included in AI package). Take a glass-bottom boat tour. Or strengthen and tone your body at the full service gym and fitness center.

Savory fare for both kids and adults makes Franklin D. Resort and Spa the ideal all inclusive vacation for family dining. Enjoy multiple dining options, all of which take advantage of the soothing Caribbean coast.
