FDR Pebbles

No, it's not named after the U.S. president. This resort, which pioneered at Runaway Bay, has invaded Montego Bay and almost overnight become the most family-friendly place in the area. It's even better than its parent outside Ocho Rios. FDR lies a 35-minute drive east of the airport, opening onto the waterfront and a beach. The resort is an all-inclusive property of cedar-wood accommodations designed with real Jamaican flair, offering spacious living and bedroom areas, shower/tub combination bathrooms, plus generous balconies opening onto a view. It's most suited for families with two children, although a larger family can be very comfortable in adjoining units. Everything is geared towards family fun, with an array of activities including fishing and swimming in a nearby river and hiking along nature trails. Each family is assigned a "vacation nanny" who helps with housekeeping and babysitting.

First-rate ingredients are fashioned into a rather standard repertoire of both Jamaican and American dishes. Portions are exceedingly generous.

Facilities: 3 restaurants; 3 bars; outdoor pool; tennis court; volleyball; Jacuzzi; hiking; kayaks; scuba diving; snorkeling; Sunfish sailboats; biking; kids' club; teen center; Internet cafe; babysitting; dance club; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility
