We were at FDR on our 2nd trip May 17-25.
Had Tanya Austin again as our nanny and
the girls had a blast. She really knew how
to keep them engaged in the types of things
they liked doing. The place is the same as
2 years ago with a fee upgrades. Our 2 bdrm
suite looked like it had a pretty recent upgrade.
It was huge and spotless.The wifi is much better
than last time. We found a significant improvement
to the food. Still a small selection, but it wasn’t
repetitive and it was very very well prepared.
All staff were amazing. May is a very low season
and there were only about 6 families, but they kept
everything open and were very flexible in
accommodating whatever you felt like doing whenever
you wanted. That’s a big benefit of going at that
time. I guess the tides change from year to year,
but we found it much much easier to get to the large
public beach this time compared to 2 years ago.
Not the obstacle course it was 2 years ago.
A real hidden gem in the Caribbean for young families!
Conversation with my 4 yr old daughter on last day.
“are we going home now?”
“yes”
“why?”
“because it’s the end of our week, but we’ll come back”
“can we come back for longer next time?”
“how long?”
“uhh…like maybe 10 million days?”
“we’ll see..get a job first”.
