Frommer's "FDR is an all-inclusive that's the number-one choice if you're traveling with children." Full review
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"

Try to avoid booking one of the 10 rooms positioned immediately above the dining area; these don't have balconies and may be noisy.
Concierge "While a similar sense of merriment pervades all of the chain's resorts, including the more relaxed Negril property, this one parties hardest."
