Best holidays for teens with a waterpark/other activities?

Can anyone recommend anywhere that is good for young teens (12 and 14) most likely for July but October may also work. Their favourite holiday was Atlantis The Palm in Dubai as they loved the consistency in the weather, the waterpark every day, the teen zone for activities, lots of quality food options and just generally that they always had lots to do without always needing to get in the car (so a great waterpark or swimming complex is the vital bit for us as they'll do this every day). We tend to have one very adventurous holiday and one more resort based holiday a year, so just looking for somewhere new to try thats more resort based where there's enough to do they won't be bored.

A couple of places initially spring to mind - 1) The Rixos Premium Seagate in Sharm el Sheikh - it has a waterpark and also great snorkelling off the hotel beach, or 2) a cheaper option, The Green Garden Eco resort in Tenerife which includes free entry and shuttle to nearby Siam Park (one of the world's best waterparks)

I'm a travel agent so I'm happy to have a more comprehensive look for you. Will PM you my details

Ooh - jumping on as I’m looking for something similar! That resort in Tenerife looks great @StaringAtTheWater - but I can’t tell if it has any pools onsite or if you have to get the shuttle bus to the beach every day?

I have a boy and girl similar ages who also love a water park. Last October we went to Amanda Colossos in Rhodes, really nice all inclusive, decent water park on site - not huge but enough to entertain them for a couple of hours, also the hotel is within a 10 mins walk to the very good Faliraki Water Park offsite. We went there twice (was end of season so quiet, no queuing for slides). Lots of boat trips from hotel beach, we also hired a car for a couple of days to see a bit more of the island. This year we are trying Stella Palace in Crete, which looks like it has a fab water park, but they are also keen to go back to Rhodes!

The resort has three pools, one of which is a kids pool. They also run a free shuttle down to the beach. It's a great for families who like a bit more space, as there's plenty of proper two bedroom suites, some of which have private pools (& for not that much more money!) I will PM you too.
