Vacationkids own Jan McAuley and Sally Black visited FDR Pebbles in 2001 and were surprised that such a small intimate resort could pack so much family fun into one vacation stay. Sally and Jan could not get over the lush, beautiful gardens surrounding the property where you could reach up and pick a banana right off the tree. The staff are proud of their efforts with conservation and ecology and their hard work shows how much they
respect mother nature and their evironment.

In all honesty the beach area of FDR Pebbles is small and a bit rocky in comparison to some of the other Jamaican all inclusive resorts. If you're family are big beach buffs you may be a bit disappointed. Then again, other families really like the private, sheltered beach area that offers gentle waves for little people. It's really all a matter of lifestyle and taste. What this resort lacks in big beachfront, it more than makes up for in personality, unique programs and activities.
