World’s Best All-Inclusive for Families with Babies and Toddlers?

Home » vacation » World’s Best All-Inclusive for Families with Babies and Toddlers?

As I interviewed new and prospective parents for my book Travels with Baby, it became clear that one of the top trips many parents hoped to make with their child in the first few years would be to a relaxing all-inclusive resort, especially one where they might get a little help with childcare so they can truly relax and enjoy their vacation. Yet as I set out to find the best recommendations for my readers, I found that few all-inclusive family resorts were prepared to provide care for children under 3 years old or in diapers.

Franklyn D. Resort, however, on the north coast of Jamaica, has a team of Vacation Nannies that not only provides care for young infants on up, but one nanny will do so exclusively for your family each day of your stay. When you consider that your Vacation Nanny is included in the cost of your all-inclusive package, and that children under 6 years old always stay free, it’s clear that Franklyn D. Resort presents a significant vacation value for families with babies and young children. It’s also no wonder that the resort received a 2009 Trip Advisor Traveler’s Choice Award, as did its sister property FDR Pebbles, where you’ll also find Vacation Nannies.

Needless to say, I have been mentioning the Franklyn D. Resort and FDR Pebbles to parents on many occasions, and I was delighted to try it out firsthand with my own family on our recent trip to Jamaica. You can read my full review of “FDR” at TravelswithBaby.com, and take a virtual visit to the resort via Travels with Baby TV.
