At Franklyn D Resort and Spa, we bend over backwards to ensure that each member of your family has a carefree and memorable experience. In addition to the numerous sports and activities available to adults, other programs are carefully designed to include activities that infants, toddlers, young children and teens love. And don't forget -- your Vacation Nanny is always there to accompany your children as they make their way through all the programs, activities and games we have in store for them. Read what our guests have to say about us! View Activities For: Kids, Teens, Adults Your kids will love splashing and playing in the pools and the ocean or swooshing down the waterslides. But there are also dozens of other activities available that range from arts & crafts to sports. Franklyn D Resort is the best place for them! SWIMMING-The main pool features a roped-off shallow end for toddlers and small children as well as a separate "slide" pool that's a big hit with our youngest guests. Vacation nannies will keep a close watch on your little ones so you can also relax while the kids safely have fun in one of the pools or at our kid-friendly beach. BIG BLUE- One of the biggest hits with kids is our 100-foot water slide, affectionately known as "Big Blue". For children who can swim, zooming down the twists and turns of the slide and making a big splash in Big Blue's own pool is a rush they'll want over and over. SPORTS- When they've tired
of swimming, splashing and sliding, a variety of activities awaits them.
They can enjoy soccer or snorkeling lessons, glass-bottom boat rides,
kayaks, tennis, basketball, or bicycle rides.
YELLOW BIRD KIDS' CLUB- This is the hub of activity for children of different ages. Our popular kiddie's centre is open from 7:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. daily. Our children's program is as varied and enjoyable as the junior guests themselves. Kids have their own playground, arts and crafts center and paddling pool, along with activities like shell hunts on the beach and tie-dye classes. While having fun, children will learn about life on a Caribbean coral reef, enter a talent contest, participate in swimming lessons, make a tie-dye outfit and learn about Jamaica. Our kid programs are wholesome, enriching and fun! For Kids:
