Others will be able to give you more advice however I would suggest looking at a hotel that has a water park or some form of pool slides attached to it, the only one I have any experience of is the Sonesta Club which is within easy walking distance of Naama Bay, however there are many more with bigger slides etc.

Thank you Kiltman - that was quick !

Will investigate that one.

I wondered if there might be places that arranged day time activities for teenagers or competitions or such like - tennis - billiards - footie etc ?

The Aqua blu also has a water park and I beleive a fair amount of brits with teens go to the Hilton Sharks Bay. The Holiday Village seems to attrack those with younger children really, so although it was nice, I wouldn't really recommed that one to you.

One of the things that teens often take to is the diving, you can do everything from a try out in the pool, a half day discover scuba course to PADI certificates - the try out in the pool is often free as they hope to inspire you to take a course.

Depending on the time of year you go, its a bit hot for dashing around a tennis court, although two hotels I stayed in did have them, I think you would need to take your own rackets though.

Not been there but how about Club Magic Life ? That seems to have lots of activities. You might need to get a brochure and look through what they have on offer - Thomson do it and I think it is No! on TA at the moment (not that that is always a lot to go on !).

Chris has given some good suggestions there . We have always gone to the hilton at sharks bay with our teens and they have always enjoyed it . lots of brits there . As well as those already mentioned also have a look at the Tropicana grand azure (formally the Lti).

Wherever you choose dont go for cheap unless it's a genuine bargain for one of the more established hotels .

Thank you for the recommendations - I will do some looking at the weekend and fingers crossed will be sorted
