Romantic Getaway -Poconos
 

Looking to treat my sister and her husband to a romantic getaway this weekend in the Poconos. The ideal hotel would have a jacuzzi in the room, have or is nearby some great seafood [their favorite] and have enough activities at the hotel so they wouldn't have to leave their room too much. Any personal suggestions would be greatly appreciated.<BR><BR>Additonal info...<BR>They are in their late 30s, married for 15 yrs and would drive in from NYC.

My husband and I stayed a weekend at one of the Caesar's resorts (there are several). It was $700 for the weekend, but that included all you can eat Lobster tail dinner on Sat night, live band and comedian, plus a suite with an indoor pool, sauna, jacuzzi, and the famous champagne glass bathtub 2 stories high. Was it worth it? Yes, would I do it again? NO, very romantic, but a lot of dough to drop on 2 nights. There are much less expensive packages to go for, with just jacuzzi rooms. Try searching Caesar's, Poconos on the net and you'll find the website. What a night present to give to a sister!

Hi Holly. What a nice sister! Anyway, here is my recommendation based on my friends' reviews and my knowledge of the location (my family has a vacation home in the Poconos):<BR><BR>http://www.mountaintoplodge.com/index.html<BR><BR>They have a jacuzzi suite there and it will be more tasteful and romantic vs gaudy and Vegas-like, i.e. the Ceasar resorts up there. Some good restaurants up there = Close Quarters in Lake Harmony, the Powerhouse in Hazleton, and there is another favorite of mine,but for the life of me I can'r remember the name at the moment. Duh.<BR><BR>Here is a good link for the area:<BR><BR>www.poconosbest.com

Me again. That restaurant's name = The Homestead Inn. Here is a link:<BR><BR>http://www.thehomesteadinn.com/index.htm<BR><BR>The site has a sample menu.

Thank you so much for your help!<BR><BR>I looked at Ceasar's and thought it was very nice and pretty awesome in regards to activities, but just a bit too expensive [for me]. I found all their resorts through a search. Also, in that search I found Fernwood Resort which has the jacuzzi in the room as well as other acitivties and I am waiting to hear back for the reservation request.<BR><BR>Anita - I checked out the Mountain Top lodge website. I fell in love with the place! If I happen to meet someone special enough to go away with, that place will be my first choice. However, I fear my brother-in-law would be like a bull in a china shop there :).<BR><BR>Thanks again
