Jamaican resort, nanny included!

FDR Pebbles Resort, New Court, Trelawny, Jamaica
A JAMAICAN VACATION WITH NANNY INCLUDED? YEAH, MON!
No, seriously. There is a nanny included in this all-inclusive vacation. You check in, get your room key, a guide to the resort, helpful numbers…and your nanny. And they’re not some beaten down, disgruntled help. The kids have a great time, and so do the parents. The nanny works from 9-4:30 and you can hang out with your kids as much as you want to as well. And the prices are competitive with other all-inclusive resorts. It’s a small resort and the beach nice but it isn’t going to make a top ten list, but it’
s white sand and warm and, again: there’s is a nanny included.

Playing
• There’
s lots and lots and lots for the kids to do, with age-appropriate activities scheduled all day like crafts for the little ones; water volleyball and fieldtrips for teens and pre-teens.
• Tons of tye-dying. Hope you’re ready to return to the states with Jerry Garcia’
s wardrobe.
• For the adults, there’
s all the usual fare: swimming, snorkeling, volleyball, scuba, fitness, day trips, etc., You, and certainly your kids, will not lack for things to do. Or just hang out in a hammock.
• The resort has WiFi and there’s computer and gaming systems for kids of all ages (yes, we’
re talking to you, Dad!).
eating
• The food is really basic, and mainly Jamaican food. If you’re looking for gourmet dining, this is not the spot for you. If you are excited that there’s a separate kids buffet, you’
re set. I personally love fried plantains and rice and beans.
• There’
s also adult-only dining rooms.
sleeping
•
All accomodations are Junior Suites with a King Bed and a separate living room with a day bed.
•
Cribs and rollaway beds offered at no additional costs.
•
All air conditioned with mini-fridge.
•
You can book adjoining suites for families larger than 2 adults and 2 children.
Tips
•
The mosquitos are KILLER. Bring lots of bug spray and use it vigilantly.
• It is Jamaica, don’
t go out into town after dark. It might be okay, but better safe than sorry. And the hotel has a hot tub so why bother going out?
• Did I mention the mosquito problem? The resort sprays for them but it’
s still a serious problem at sundown and sunup.
