10/10 Exceptional

The employees are receptive , kind and friendly! Best customer service I had ever received!
Dennis George, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The property has the potential to be beautiful, but it needs serious repairs. There is no ventilation in the room I was in, so because of this, the condensation of the warm water would build up and cause the walls to sweat. The staff were wonderful and accommodating. The food and drinks were delicious. I was a solo traveler, and I felt safe on the property.
Simone, 7-night trip

Staff was great. Facility needed updating.

10/10 Exceptional

Our nanny Deborah was amazing, she kids loved her. The owner is such a kind, down to earth person. The staff were incredible, they made us feel welcome and were so sweet with our kids. The food was delicious. It's a perfect destination if you are travelling with young children and although the property is quite outdated (but very clean), we would love to come back.
Mariya, 7-night trip

2/10 Poor

This property is nothing like the reviews. Although the Nannie’s could have been a great option. Upon getting there we were immediately uncomfortable with the conditions of the place. We did not stay here after seeing the property. We booked elsewhere and left

Great location for a vacation with children. Everything is close by and the nanny service is very convenient.
Bryan, 5-night trip

4/10 Fair

Go somewhere else. Not worth the money and is in need of serious maintenance. We are all sick due to the lack of cleanliness within the air conditioning units. The only thing that was actually good was the food.

Had a great time

10/10 Exceptional

Our family has been coming to FDR for years. The staff is so friendly and just amazing! There are lots of fun activities, especially for kids. Everyone loves the 100 foot waterside, playing pool volleyball, hermit crab races, and large pool to name a few. Even with the hurricane that hit the day before, staff did an incredible job, cleaning up the property and Working together to ensure we (21 of us) had a great time. We highly recommend this place… The nannies are the best!!!
