i am wondering if there is, or if anyone can recommend a hotel with as much to do as atlantis, besides disney world, that teenagers would like to go for xmas...

I've been to both and really can't think of anywhere that compares!
Summer

Maybe the Casa de Campo complex in Dominican Republic? I've never been there, but it's simply huge and it does have lots to offer.

I should think that there are a few all inclusive resorts that would be good for teens who are looking for lots to do--the Beaches chain might be a good place to start with younger teens in tow.

What about a cruise? Cruise ships have all kinds of activities for kids of all ages.

The Barcelo resort in the Riviera Maya is huge and has a water park for the kids.

I think the kids would really enjoy a cruise. My friends just came back and said their teenage sons loved it.

grand waillea in Maui , Awesome!!!.

Grand Wailea is a gorgeous hotel!!
We saw it 15 years ago and I would love to go and stay there..a little pricey

The Hilton Waikoloa is a huge resort with pools and a tram and boat to take you around the property. This Hilton is located on the Big Island of Hawaii. It is a great resort with so much to do, you don't have to leave it. We swam with the turtles in the lagoon every day.
Can I be your teenager and get to go too?
