De Palm Island for teens

[mosenga]

Aruba is one of our stops for a cruise. I've seen information on the all-inclusive De Palm Island. I will be traveling with two teens, ages 17 and 14. Is the resort mostly for younger kids or would they find the activities fun as well. It's fairly expensive, so I want to make sure they would enjoy the day before I plan this one.  Thanks.

We were there about two weeks ago and my son, who’s 9, loved it. He spent all his time in the water slide area. There is a separate area away from the water slides where the beach is. There are plenty of loungers there. Most of the kids in the water slide part were young kids - not teenagers. I suppose if your kids like the beach, they would like this beach area.  I did notice people of all ages there, though. Not just moms and dads with young kids.

I'm interested in this as an adult with no kids. I would love to snuba there.  I also want to try the air jumpers- is this mainly for kids though?  I don't want to look overly ridiculous.

We vacation in Aruba and love DePalm. It has great snorkeling there, several beach areas and a zipline that would be great for teens. The water park is more for younger kids. All you can eat and drink all day. Also the Snuba would be a fun experience and we really loved doing the Sea Trek. It's a lot of fun and fish and props everywhere.
