We just returned from two weeks in the village, you will want for nothing right there. You can walk to a different restaurant every day and still not see them all in 10 days, beaches are great. If you do want to explore a bit then ParrotVille is fun particularly for kids, inexpensive too, also a trip to the Rain Forests adventures is fun, two chair lifts and some optional zip lines plus an observation deck at the top for spectacular views. You can zip line back down if your brave enough or take the chair lift back down, well worth the money. Plane watching at Maho is a must for any 12 year old and truth be told even after 20 plus years we old folk still enjoy it as well. The Yoda museum in Phillipsburg was interesting but not much else for a 12 year old in town IMHO. Have a fabulous time.
