Poconos Resorts Review

Roman Towers
There is nothing like a trip to the Poconos to enjoy the serenity of the mountains. The Poconos resorts were started by Rudolf Von Hoevenberg in 1945 with the opening of "The Farm on the Hill," a resort that catered to newlyweds. Other resorts soon opened, and the Poconos became a haven for honeymooners and families. From the luxuriant Caesars resorts to the natural Fernwood Hotel & Resort, the Poconos have something to offer every type of vacationer. There is romance, adventure and relaxation to be found at the various resorts in the Poconos. Here are three to consider.
Features

The Poconos are well-known as a retreat for couples, but families can also enjoy a number of resorts in the Poconos region. Fernwood Hotel & Resort in Bushkill, Pennsylvania, has rates starting as low as $129 per night. Its comfortable accommodations vary from studios to suites to villas with one or two bedrooms for larger families. The resort has indoor and outdoor pools, plus nature trails that families can enjoy. There is a fitness center and some sporting activities such as basketball.

The Skytop Lodge has 5,500 acres of landscape with numerous outdoor activities to indulge in. The rooms are standard, but mini suites and cottages are available. It boasts great nature programs and outdoor activities such as trout fishing, picnics and more.

For newlyweds looking for a honeymoon in the Poconos or couples looking for romantic getaways, the Caesars Pocono Resorts are the best option. They are the ultimate in luxury whether you book at Cove Haven, Paradise Stream or Pocono Palace. They are exclusively for couples, and the atmosphere is romantic. The hotel rooms are all about fantasy, especially the Roman Tower at the Pocono Palace Resorts. This room is a dream come true. With a 7-foot-tall Champagne Glass Whirlpool Bath-for-Two, the Roman Tower features columns, vaulted ceilings, arches and covered walkways. Staying here is like being in Rome, with all its ambience and culture. For those interested in more physical activities, there is tennis, swimming, golf and other sports, including snow tubing. For those opting to relax and indulge themselves, the Caesars Pocono Resorts offer a great breakfast in bed (champagne breakfast on Tuesday and Saturday), entertainment and dining experiences not to be missed, including the Flames of Passion. Here chefs will take you through an interactive cooking experience and allow you to taste food and recipes that are meant to ignite the senses.

Pros and Cons

The Fernwood resort is a good choice for families, but it has a limited number of indoor activities. The rooms are standard, but the service is great. The main attraction of this resort is getting together with family in this natural setting and building bonds that can be elusive in the busyness of normal life.

The Skytop Lodge is for lovers of golf and the outdoors. There is a lot to do outside the resort walls. With 5,500 acres of land, the resort caters to families who want to spend time enjoying nature rather than relaxing in the rooms. The rooms have been renovated to include Internet connections and flat-screen TVs, and they are more comfortable than other resorts. Though the Lodge has been modernized, the old-fashioned feeling is retained, and for families wanting an escape this is the best choice. The Skytop has excellent dining choices, with the Windsor Dining Room topping the list. Its food is delectable, and the wine choice top-notch. Though the lodge caters to families, it could also be a good choice for couples who want a little bit of both romance and activities.

There is not much you can say to detract from the Caesars Pocono Resorts. They cater to every whim of their guests, and the decor, ambience and dining are an indulgence. Though everything centers on the guests, there is enough privacy to ensure that couples can enjoy themselves and the world around them. The rates may seem a bit pricey and not affordable for everyone, but specials and discount packages off-season may allow those with lower budgets to enjoy the resorts.

Bottom Line

For those working on a budget and hoping to get a comfortable experience, whether as a couple or family, the Skytop Lodge will exceed their expectations. With something for the whole family, the Skytop is a notch above the Fernwood in terms of ambience and style. In one word, it's classy. For those who are looking for an indulgent, romantic getaway that gives them time to rediscover and celebrate their compatibility and love, the Caesars Poconos Resorts should not be missed. Even for a night the expense is worth it; the sheer decadence is something that every couple will enjoy.
