At 14 and 16, your kids are past the typical resort kids-club crowd—they want independence, not scheduled activities. Hyatt Regency and Marriott's Surf Club both nail this: they're full-service resorts on Aruba's calmest stretch with the amenities and space to let older teens roam (beach, pools, boardwalk vibe) while families stay connected. If budget's tight, the Hilton delivers nearly identical location and beach access at real savings. The villa-style properties lower on this list work if you want to self-cater and split up; otherwise, go resort.
