I came to FDR Resort in Runaway Bay to start my burnout healing journey, and it was the perfect choice. I visited during the off-season, which meant the resort was quiet with very few guests exactly what I needed for rest and reflection. Only one bar and one restaurant were open, but that was more than enough. The food was very good, and the drinks were delicious. The highlight for me was the snorkeling. The resort’s extended beach has incredible spots to explore. The staff were wonderful warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. They made me feel so taken care of during my stay. I also fell in love with Leo, the resort cat, who made the place feel even more like home. FDR is not a fancy, luxury resort it’s more authentic, laid-back, and family-friendly. Everything isn’t “perfect,” but it is clean, comfortable, and full of heart. Families receive nannies, and I loved seeing how happy the kids were. If you are looking for a place to truly rest, recuperate, and slow down, I would highly recommend this resort. It was exactly what I needed.

FDR is a family oriented resort. It's a bit dated, and is closer to what I now have learned is the vacated Hedonism 1 resort. However, the food is excellent, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. There's are simple amenities there. Of note I did the SCUBA with Mr.Fruity and that was a highlight. It's far away from Negril and Mo Bay so didn't really experience much of a night life, but on this particular venture it was more about health and serenity than that. I took a car over to 9 mile and Dunns River. Not to many local things to get into. That said. I had a great ocean view room. And it was a very pleasant trip. Thanks FDR.

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.
