Top Resorts for Teens

Teens can be a picky and tricky age to please, but some resorts that offer kids' programs are making special efforts to keep the family happy once the kids are teenagers.

Simply setting up a teen center, with games and movie screen, seldom does much. Read on for some outstanding efforts to please those teens...

Also: always read visitor's comments about any resort, and when you do, note the dates of the comments carefully. Teens like to meet other teens, and a lot of their satisfaction will reflect how busy/quiet the resort was, for their social scene.
