Club Med Punta Cana
Club Med Punta Cana -- in the Dominican Republic-- has great ambiance, and awesome kids' programs and facilities.

The Petit Club and Mini Club have an entire building, with separate rooms for different age groups; outside is a big playground, choo-choo, pool... And that's just the home base.

Much of the time, the kids are out'n'about. Older kids might do trapeze, or in-line skating; or rehearse for the mini-club show (with costumes, lights, and sound)...

(Where you won't find them is in a room with video-games.)

Meanwhile, teens (only) can try out The Ramp": with skateboard ramp on one surface, teen lounge tucked underneath, and on top a space to hang-out topped by a canopy where movies can be shown. Cool.

And p.s.: there's plenty at this resort for grown-ups, too.
