I booked during their off season, so I had pretty much the entire resort to myself. Yet the staff still gave full service. Everyone was quite friendly and helpful.

The staff, the staff, the staff. The Nannies were wonderful, the entire dining staff was great, and although the property needs some upgrades it is lovely. This was my son’s (13 yr old) favorite of many travel trips

Ideal for a peaceful restful stay
Lovely boutique hotel with family friendly service. Beach on property is not the best for swimming but great beaches are literally next door. Food and service is great, with rooms/suites conveniently fitted with small fridge and microwave. Furniture could use some updates. Nanny service and activities for kids is a big plus.

I came to FDR Resort in Runaway Bay to start my burnout healing journey, and it was the perfect choice.
I visited during the off-season, which meant the resort was quiet with very few guests exactly what I needed for rest and reflection. Only one bar and one restaurant were open, but that was more than enough. The food was very good, and the drinks were delicious.
The highlight for me was the snorkeling. The resort’s extended beach has incredible spots to explore.
The staff were wonderful warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. They made me feel so taken care of during my stay. I also fell in love with Leo, the resort cat, who made the place feel even more like home.
FDR is not a fancy, luxury resort it’s more authentic, laid-back, and family-friendly. Everything isn’t “perfect,” but it is clean, comfortable, and full of heart. Families receive nannies, and I loved seeing how happy the kids were.
If you are looking for a place to truly rest, recuperate, and slow down, I would highly recommend this resort. It was exactly what I needed.
