Our family has just returned home from FDR. All in all we had a good time. This hotel gives you things that no other hotel gives...nanny, ability to meet other guests, employees know you and your family by name. It is almost as if you are at a family camp. The kids play all day and at night moms and... more

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We took our 19month old here earlier this month and it is by far the bast family holiday that we have had. The staff are generally very good, the nannies are totally amazing and everyone wants to make your stay the best possible. The airport; An experience !! Total disorganisation I think is... more

We had been checking out this resort for 2 years. I had read many reviews about FDR Pebbles. The pictures of the resort that are on applevacation.com are exactly how the resort looks. The staff was excellent always trying to please you. We went in late May, so it was their off season. I have read complaints about weddings, peoples... more

We stayed at FDR resort for six days in May and had a wonderful vacation. The resort it's self is worn and in need of repair however the wonderful staff and the nanny service were superb. If you plan on going ask for a renovated room as ours had little water pressure and no hot water. The food was wonderful... more

Dont´t be fooled by the glitzy photos ...this is a run down, horrible, nasty place. All the facilities are in dire need of repair. The stairs are dangerous. The furniture is broken and old. The scuba diving boat overturned and could have really hurt or killed people. Besides, it is really expensive for what you get. We talked to the... more

We went to the FDR for a destination wedding. We had two small children (8 months & 22 months) with us and I had reservations about using the nanny, since I am a stay-at-home mom and my kids are super-clingy. We were assigned Sophia, who was fantastic! As I suspected, my kids wouldn't stay with her - but she was... more

TERRIBLE IN EVERY SINGLE WAY! We went to a wedding. SO many things went wrong! The staff is incompetent and SLOW. Altough, to their credit, they are very nice. While stealing shrimp from the wedding dinner in napkins (this was witnessed by someone in our party). If you want scalding or freezing water in your shower, stay here! Otherwise,,,, Don't... more

We (mid - late 30's couple, 3 year old and 4 month old) spent 6 nights at FDR in late March / April and enjoyed our stay. The resort is somewhat simple and small which we found refreshing after vacationing at larger, fancier and louder resorts. 1) transport from airport - we took other tripadvisor advice and booked a private... more

We Just returned from FDR at Runaway bay .. The pictures on the web dont explain the fun and the beauty this place is all about . The property is a bit tired compared to the modern resorts but its comfy for a family and you soon overlook some of the the wear and tear . The property is well... more

The facility is run down but clean. There is entertainment at night but it goes on until about 10 pm and can be heard in virtually every room regardless of where you are in the resort so it makes it hard for the little ones to go to sleep. The beach is tiny but there is an adjacent beach which... more
