"One of the most affordable accommodations in Mo-Bay. Along the resort's famous "Hip Strip," the hotel is a bastion of comfort and charm." Full review
Rough Guide
"This is an excellent option close to all the action and Walter Fletcher Beach. Modern, businesslike rooms have all mod cons and useful amenities like hairdryers and CD players."

Fodor's
"A favorite for families with very young children, this relaxed resort goes a step beyond the usual supervised kids' programs."
Travel + Leisure

Lonely Planet
"At this Spanish hacienda-style, all-inclusive family resort, there are kid-friendly facilities and a personal nanny assigned to each child." Full review
Travel + Leisure
"A resort where your own personal nanny is included from 8:30 a.m. until 4:40 p.m. daily...children staying at the Franklyn D. Resort & Spa are unlikely to get bored: There's a 100-foot-long waterslide"
