Franklyn D Resort

Ocho Rios, Port Antonio & the North Coast


At this Spanish hacienda-style, all-inclusive family resort, there are kid-friendly facilities and a personal nanny assigned to each child. The resort has three restaurants and a bar, plus an oceanfront spa and waterslide. Three-night minimum stay – rates vary wildly, but pricing is set assuming adult guests are parents, so children stay virtually free.
