would be hard to find something like what you're after out of the 'hustle + bustle'.
The HRH would suit your kids ages and once you're inside you don't know you're in the 'bustle', although it is a large resort not a smaller type establishment.
Have stayed twice, once with the teenager as well who was ~16yrs at the time and again with just our younger two.
There is a very good kids club that they can come and go as they please doing what activities interest them (for the 9yr old). It is one of the best kids clubs I've seen. There is also the teens club which will be good for your older one. The pools are huge. They also play water games like volleyball etc.. at the pool and will encourage your older boy to join in (our son was not really the type to just go up there but hanging around the edge the staff are very good about encouraging them to join in).
I am staying at Novotel Benoa later in the year which is a quieter area. Has a kids club (don't think any waterslides) but don't know about an older teens club.
Good luck : )
