Just got back with college kids from Turks and they loved it. Grace bay is amazing.

I’m taking my teen daughter to Aruba in July. We got a nice deal on an air bnb right on the beach we like. I’m excited to just do what we like. Snorkel, eat, drinks smoothies, lounge by pool, lounge at beach and binge watch bad teen drama shows at night.

LOL DP so much this. After a certain age you must be content to let them enjoy their version of vacation. Which usually means looking bored to tears because they’d rather be with their friends.

It might be too late, but you could look into house rentals in Bermuda. You might find one available -- and it would allow you to save money by not having to go out to eat for every meal.

It's hurricane season so get insurance or cancellable tickets!

We loved T&C but we have a teen who is content to lounge, eat, and do a variety of outdoor activities with us (kayaking for all on Chalk Sound, e-foiling with dad, snorkeling for all, etc....).

It's so easy to get to from the DMV, though.

6 days is probably too long -if you do T&C can look at windsong on the reef to mitigate teen boredom b/c good snorkling.

Family of 3, including 18 year old DS.

Grace bay sounds perfect but I worry about the teen getting bored.

Will be 5-6 days.
