Wonderful vacation. We were welcomed with a plate of food and a fresh drink upon arrival after traveling for 12 hours. It was such a thoughtful touch and set the tone for our entire time. Many reviews comment on the dated property. It is very functional, very very clean and comfortable. I would not let those reviews deter you. A very wholesome fun family vacation and I will definitely be back.

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.

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.

The included Nanny's for your stay are amazing!! Shout out Cynthia and Dennicia!! They were the best! The resort is a little older and could use some updates. But, with that said; Everything else was absolutely amazing. I cannot say enough positive things about the food, the service, the staff, the availability of activities (interactive or self led). Everybody was so friendly and helpful with our kids (we came with tour 1 year old twins and our 5 year old daughter). The staff works very hard to ensure everybody is enjoying their stay. The owner and his son even came by while we were eating a few times during our stay to check in with us and see how things were going. This is just not something you find at a large corporate run resort. By the time you leave you really start to feel part of the FDR family, you know the staff by their names and they know your whole family's names as well! We met multiple people who had visited multiple times and I must say we are definitely already looking to come back! Thank you FDR and everybody there for making our first real vacation as a family of five a memorable one! We'll hopefully see you all next year with some of our friends and their kids!

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 It's a perfect destination if you are travelling with young children and although the property is quite outdated (but very clean), we would love to come back.

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!!!
