We stayed at Franklyn D Resort in 2000. It was pretty nice. Not as
upscale as
Club Med, but a nice small beach, very nice nannies, and the activities were
more
suited for the younger kids. The nannies were included during the day, and
would
also babysit in the evenings for additional pay, allowing you to visit the
piano bar
or disco. The Disco was relatively unused except on the weekend.
The buffet food was okay, the reservation restaurant was better, but we
only went once.
The staff was nice. As our first AI with kids, it took a change of mindset,
but
we got into the rhythm.
