"Like a mini-Mustique, this former pineapple plantation on a 110-acre peninsula in Montego Bay is a collective run by the owners of its 29 villas."

In the villas, breakfasts are cooked to order, or guests can dine on the sea-view dining terrace; most guests choose to eat lunch and dinner here.

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