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.
Additonal info...
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):
http://www.mountaintoplodge.com/index.html
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.
Here is a good link for the area:

Thank you so much for your help!
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.
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
.
Thanks again
