Nothing compares to a family vacation. Endless beach days, family dinners, one-of-a-kind memories — it’s the best part of summer! The only problem? Trying to convince your teens that they’ll have fun too. More family time makes younger kids bounce off the walls in excitement, but that’s often the last thing your teen wants. They’re at an age where everything parents do is cringe, and simple things like splash pads don’t entertain them anymore.
All you need is a getaway that’s fun for parents and teens — and, luckily, there are tons of beautiful spots in the Caribbean that fit the bill. From special teens-only clubs to cool family activities that teens will actually like, we’ve rounded up the best all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean for families with teens. Because everyone deserves to have a good time on their summer vacay!
