Eight of us will be going to Punta Cana this winter (4 adults/4 teens ages 13-17). We would like a nice place - good food, clean, as well as things going on for the teens. What are the differences between these two properites?

Our favorite resort in all of DR is
Paradisus Palma Real. The service ,the food, the beach with its cool white sugar sand. And if you go go Royal Service its worth the extra $. There is pleanty to do. Many water sports etc.

My husband and I went to Palma Real last year. Truth is--not too many teenagers. Lots of couples and families with young children. the place is beautiful and very upscale. If your teenagers are happy just "hanging out" with each other, then you will be fine.
The place is spectacular!
The resorts next to ours were full of teens and had tons of activities on the beach--dance lessons, races, scavenger hunts, loud music...teen heaven! But were not of the quality of Paradisus.
Hope this helps..
