Question: A TEEN-FRIENDLY resort in Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands?

Question Description:
I'm traveling with my family (which includes two 50 year old parents, and two daughters, ages 16 and 13.) Most of the resorts I've found in either Puerto Rico or The US Virgin Islands seem to cater more to adults only or families with young children. Can someone please give me a suggestion?Or even the name of a travel site where i can put in my specific needs?

Answer#1: I stayed at the Embassy Suites Dorado in Puerto Rico & it was gorgeous. Less than $200 a night for a suite with a balcony. It has a living room w/ a couch that pulls out to a bed, so it can fit more people. Also there was a group of teens there. They were americans that studied spanish in high school & went on a trip & they loved it there. There is a lounge inside the hotel w/ a stage & live salsa bands playing & they loved dancing to the music & sipping their virgin drinks the bar tender made for them. There is also a private beach & a pool & jacuzzi w/ an outdoor bar & grill. Plus if you rent a car you can take everyone to see all the sites P.R. has to offer. El Morro(or old for in San Juan) is beautiful & people of all ages can enjoy it. There is a big shopping mall called Plazas de Americas for the teens & boutiques in Old San Juan. Also all of the beaches are beautiful & the center of island has lush mountains w/ spectacular views &you can drive the whole island in 1 day. The Camuy caves are nice & El Yunque rain forest. So much to do! Don't forget all the watersports & horseback riding on the beach & snorkeling might be good for the teens also. San Juan has casinos for the adults. Plus no passport needed!

Answer#2: Try a Caribbean Cruise. I know that you are asking for a resort, but I think that for teenagers, as well as for mature people, the best is a cruise. Teenagers can take advantage of the teen programs (which seem to be fun), and the adults can relax by the pool or just hang out. Try the Adventure of the Seas, it goes out of San Juan. You can spend a few days in San Juan (Caribe Hilton is a great hotel). Then you can take the cruise; it goes to Aruba, Curacao, St Martin and St Thomas.The best part is that if you are Americans, you can travel without a passport untill Jan 2008.Check on the Adventure of the Seas...It has 4 swimming pools, casino, rock climbing wall, mini golf, roller-blade rink, ice skating rink, teenagers' disco and program...everything you need to have the best vacations ever.

Answer#3: If you just want a place to rest your head and relax but plan on spending most of your time outside the resort try a paradore.
