At 14 and 16, your kids are past the splash-zone stage—they want real beach time, not just a kids club. Hyatt Regency Aruba and Marriott's Aruba Surf Club both nail this: you get the calm Palm Beach setup and actual resort infrastructure, but neither forces you into kiddie programming. The Hyatt edges ahead for pure convenience; the Marriott's kitchens and multi-bedroom villas win if your crew wants space and flexibility. If budget's tight, the Hilton delivers the same beach and activities at real savings, though it scales down the polish. Either way, you're looking at a genuinely swimmable beach—Aruba's whole west side doesn't mess around with undertow.
