Ever dreamed about traveling with a nanny? Having an extra
pair of hands can be a huge help on vacation, especially when your kids are
little. But that extra help usually means an extra expense, from meals and lodging to airfare.
Jamaica’s all-inclusive Franklyn D Resort (see our review) has the solution: the Vacation Nanny, a smiling, helpful, and trained staff member assigned to each family for the duration of its stay. Your nanny is there to pitch in with childcare, which can mean anything from staying with your kids while they nap or rinsing out sandy bathing suits to restocking the fridge, tracking down beach toys, or playing with kids while mom and dad enjoy time together during the day. The best part? Your nanny is included in the price of your stay.
Sound good? The resort's Parents Fly Free promotion makes it even better. Book a stay of seven nights or more between January 2 and April 2, 2010, and you’ll receive a $700 air credit for each adult. Translation: that amount is lopped off your bill. For a family of two adults and two kids under age 6 staying in a junior suite, room rates in February start at $600 a night, or $4,200 for a seven-night stay. (For each extra kid 6-15, add $50 per night.) Once you figure in the $1,400 credit, your lodging tab for a one-week stay drops to $2,800—a 33% savings. You'll still have to pay for airfare, but this promo effectively reduces the overall cost of the vacation by $1400.
This offer is only available by phone. Call 800/654-1337 and book by December 31.
