I would go to Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is safer than Dominican Republic, but Dominican Republic is just as beautiful though. In PR, you can venture out into the island and explore instead of being stuck at the boring hotel. In DR, you are recommended to stay in the hotel for safety reasons. I don’t have any hotel names off the top of my head but I remember Rincon Beach Resort being beautiful. I have houses there, so I am not up-to-date with the hotels. Good luck to you, for whichever place you choose! You’ll have a great time!

Well I would sayt eh better islands to go for vacation in the Caribbean especaially with kids 12-17 would be Barbados, Trinidad, Bahamas,USVI and Puerto Rico!
I would especially recommend Barbados and Trinidad though.
Barbados is a beautiful island. Lots of lovely scenery and so much to do, morning noon and night. In Barbados you can never get bored because there is something for every type of person to take part in. Barbados is also romatic. Activites for kids and older ones…you will not regret visiting Barbados! The island has great beaches and is wonderful for shopping too! In Barbados you can also swim with Turtles.

If you are looking for all-inclusive resorts, Dominican Republic is the largest all-inclusive vacation spot in the Carribean, and one of the largest in the world. You will definitely have more options there then in any other country in the Carribean.
The two most popular all-inclusive locations are Puerto Plata and Punta Cana. I have been to Punta Cana. It is very beautiful, and I would highly reccommend it.
I think when you are choosing an all inclusive resort you should consider the amenities, and if they have sister hotels. Let me explain. The cool thing about all inclusive resort is that if you are a guest at one hotel you can visit it’s sister hotel. You can use their amenities, pools, beaches, spas, etc and not pay an extra dime. This even includes food!
One huge resort chain in Punta Cana is the Barcelo Rosert Hotels. There are 5 sister resorts in total:
Barcelo Punta Cana
Barcelo Bavaro Palace
Barcelo Bavaro Golf
Barcelo Bavaro Beach
Barcelo Dominican Beach
and there are shuttles for all five come and go as you please between each one.
I have visited the Barcelo Bavaro Beach and it was plenty of fun. There are so many things to do each night between all of the resorts that you won’t have time to do it all.
The hotel was huge, beautiful, and affordable! I saw plenty of families, and they have events catered to them (such as karaoke, etc.).

Trip Advisor.com is my favorite website for travel. It has reviews from people who have visited resorts and such.
Good luck!
