Summary: Lovely boutique hotel with family friendly service. Beach on property is not the best for swimming but great beaches are literally next door. Food and service is great, with rooms/suites conveniently fitted with small fridge and microwave. Furniture could use some updates. Nanny service and activities for kids is a big plus.

Summary: This is the first all inclusive resort I stayed at where there is a food menu with limited options: one appetizer option, one dessert option. Dinner: choice 1 fish, 1 meat and 1 chicken. First night we had dinner, my husband ordered the only fish - salmon and it was all gone and I ordered the only appetizer soup and that was done too. We were upset so they were able to find another fish to make for us. Dessert was cheesecake that none of my family ate so we didn’t get dessert. Second night we didn’t eat at the resort. Third night, again very limited options. The bathrooms were dirty and in the second bedroom stains were in the toilet which was extremely disgusting. Soap nor shampoo was in the second bathroom. My son didn’t even want to stay at the hotel and left one of the nights. This was very disappointing especially after spending so much money. Only one restaurant is operational and not three as advertised. Also, gym is different than pictures on the website. The equipment was dirty, old and rusty. The service was exceptional. The people were friendly and tried to accommodate us. It took me awhile to write this review because it is no way a reflection of the employees. They were fantastic. It’s a shame that this is a run-down place.

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: After visiting resorts in the Dominican Republic and Mexico, we decided to try this one. At first, we weren’t sure about it—it’s smaller, not brand new, and only has one pool. However, after six days, we can confidently say this is one of the best places we’ve ever stayed! The service was exceptional, and our nanny, Patrice, was amazing and incredibly helpful. The only downside for us was the main food dishes, but that’s because we’re picky eaters and only eat Kosher. That said, the desserts were absolutely delicious and a real highlight! The resort’s small size turned out to be a blessing, especially with three kids. It felt cozy, like home, and the layout was perfect—you could even see the kids’ play area from the restaurant, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were safe. Thank you for an amazing vacation! We’ll definitely be back!

Summary: 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.
