What can I say about Paradise Stream?? This is our second at this location. The was not good. My husband got sick. I thought that I had to call the ambulance for my husband. Because he had something in his throat and chest. He had to drink water and a ginger ale soda to clear out what was going on in his chest. He had seafood soup and We think the soup was old. They had the same menu all week. And the food made him sick. Then the next day I got sick. The food wasn't fresh at all. What crazy it was only 17 couple at the resort. When we came home my husband had the flu and was admitted in the hospital and I had a cold. I couldn't go to work. The room was nice but the door had a big under it. I had to put a towel behind the bottom of the door so the cold air won't come in our room. They need to put more drains in the bathroom floor. Because when we took our shower the water was all over the floor. We had to use the towels that we had to mop up the water. They only gave us two bath towels, two face clothes and one bath floor towel. No pool and No Jacuzzi towels. What do they think when you get in and out the pool and the jacuzzi. How would you dry yourself off??? So me and my husband went to spooners and picked up some towels from the pool area. Everything was in walking distance. But it was so cold that we jump in the car to drive every where. The gift shop has a little of everything. When booking a room you have an option of just the room with breakfast or dinner. Or just the room and eat of the resort. They have on restaurant on the resort put its bar food like pizza, wings, burgers, nachos and tater tots. They have two bowling lanes, two pool tables, and other games, to play and also miniature golf. They have couples games that you can play and win a necklace trophy. The grounds are lovely all year around. A great place to relax. They have live music every night. Some of the rooms and different areas need up grades. Please be mindful of the food that you are serving the guest. One thing that I did forget that was very gross. Was the manager came out of nowhere with no gloves?No sanitize. Ask on his hands to stir the food for please. After that no one wanted any food. They probably had a lot of food left over. Then that wasn't all he did when it was dinner time.He was helping serve in the dinner cause it was a little busy. He touched somebody's ribs on their plate. The manager shouldn't touched the food. No gloves or nothing on his hands. He might have been doing this for a while.And no one paid attention. But he needs to stop because people can get people can get sick.
What a great time my woman and I had here at Paradise Stream. We had a bit of a late check-in due to a storm that passed by that knocked out the power, but they had it up and running quickly. Prior to that, we arrived early, got ourselves signed in and acquainted with the resort. The check-in was at 3:30 pm so we hung out in the pool, The hot tub, walked around for a bit and played some pool. We ate dinner that you need to have a reservation to have. The food was really good. Both breakfast and dinner. The lamb shank was fall off the bone literally. The rooms were clean and comfy. Alot todo at Paradise Stream. Come and enjoy some very well-deserved time with your significant other.
2 stars for retro vibe. -100 stars for service. Front desk checkin was a chaotic mess. Reports of bugs in rooms on the phone coming in as we tried to get our key. Save yourself $10 and buy the same wax log at Walmart for $3 only 5 min away. The gift shop personnel was the least friendly cashier we've met in a long time. Zero assistance. No one is going to cordially invite you or even tell you about QR code flyer events posted only for certain days/times so read everything or you'll miss out like on haunted trail Fridays. They say not to reserve your meal times at reservation but at checkin they were filled up so you can't even eat when you want to. Our 2 story champagne suite filled with smoke with the flue open. NO CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTOR and only 1 window in entire 1k sf. We had to leave the door open for 4 hours to breathe. May have something to do with the 5" HOLE of the internal brick of our fireplace. The AC works well thankfully because it was well over 80 upstairs when we arrived with temps outside in the 50s. The "stars" light in the ceiling of our champagne tub has a short so it was flashing like a strobe light - epileptics beware. The between room insulation does not - we heard moaning and music from an adjacent room until 2am. NOTE: No water pressure in suite 422. Unsure if it's the entire property or just this suite but it was DRIPPING out of the rain shower head to the point if you had the shower head angled at all there wasn't enough pressure to keep all holes dripping so only half would drip AT FULLY ON. Especially love they encourage you to drive a few hundred feet away to night activities, drink heavily and drive to your room. Definitely make sure you have uninsured driver insurance because the clientele here is pretty sus. Activities director aka CXO is spastic and not friendly old guy. Do not be 1 minute late or you can't play because "he's got another activity to get to" (next in an hour). The games didn't match the daily calendar, for example a couples game show with sweets was a billiards tournament lasting 10 minutes. Marshmallow golf for a free nights stay included completely melted marshmallows that stuck to the wedge so you couldn't even hit them to attempt the game. Want to play for fun additional marshmallows? Too bad - they're not here for your enjoyment. Overall, if you plan to stay in your suite - okay. If you plan to play outdoors, you'll have to grab gear from the gift shop requiring IDs to be left with them to borrow damaged old and broken equipment worth nothing, but still ok for kitschy. If you actually want to do activities beyond getting drunk and screwing, you may want to go elsewhere. Sad to see these treasured historical places dive so low. It was a memory to be made on a bucket list. Highly recommend staying in your room or avoiding staff. And if you have any curiosity, a black light would be fun to see what you might be exposed to in suite. Honestly would not stay here again if it was free. Maybe another location has friendlier staff and a better activities director.
Overall I prefer this location to Cove Haven as it has a lot more around it. Breakfast had nice variety and was really good. My main complaints are the bed is on wheels which makes no sense and even locking the bed did not stop it from moving fully. Our room had ants in it which was not wonderful and the pool area is not super clean. Also the cable does not work right and the wifi sucks. However, they have fun activities to do both on property and off. Most on property activities are included in the price. They also have fun stuff to do near by and some good restaurants. Overall a few complaints but I would likely do it again someday or maybe try Pocono Place as I haven't tried their third property yet
I really enjoyed this hidden gem. It was about a 3 hour drive away from baltimore but it was so worth it. I went during a week day and stayed overnight. It was in a nice quiet area. From the outside the room Didn't look that big but once you enter it was huge. The room had 3 floors. The room was clean and quiet. The hot tub was nice and spacious and by it being the shape of a glass made it even more special. The pool wasn't to deep but deep enough and big enough to move around. The sauna was pretty nice also. The room also had a massage table which was nice also. We even had free breakfast made to order. They had things to do on the campus but the room was so nice we didn't make it to the club. They have a club and a spa on site. You can even do the dinner if you don't want to Leave the resort. I'm definitely going to go back before the year is over. The receptionist was pretty nice also Jane.
The one star I give for front desk allowing us to leave and attempt to salvage the few hours left of my birthday by finding a new hotel to stay at. After driving hours to what was suppose to be a surprise birthday celebration getaway, we were greeted by the... - Trash all on the grounds - broken up pavements - door that you have to kick in, in order to open - dirty shower - dirty towels - carpet stains that look like urine - dirty bed linen - beds with no fitted sheets - wood furniture with splintered wood - pool room that smells like mold and bleach - electrical wires that should not be exposed - and a warm greeting on the window (I can laugh at it now but believe me in the moment I was furious) I can't make this up so I decided to share pictures to give you a visual!
The first room they gave us had no heat, so they nicely upgraded our room. Unfortunately the pool water was cold and wouldn't heat up. Maintenance said it will take time. The water was still cold the next morning. We stayed only one night, so we couldn't enjoy the indoor pool. The location was nice and breakfast was good. We will give them another try some other time.
Serious ant issues. 11/15/21 me and my wife visited for my birthday. We had the Garden of Eden Apple suite. We settled into the room and was so excited. Didn't notice anything the first night. When we woke up the next day, i noticed something crawling on me. I noticed an ant infestation over the top of the bed, at least 40-50 of them. The bed could come off from the wall, but they were already on the sheets and bed. The full colony was trooping in that area, enjoying their squatter stay for free. We complained at the front desk and they moved us to an ant free room. The pain was having to pack everything back up, then move to another room. No compensation from Paradise stream. The rest of the visit was fine. 5/15/2022 My wife's birthday. I treated her to the Champagne towers. We were in room 403. She was so excited. I video taped entering the room, going up stairs and into the bathroom. Again! Ant colony by the sink. About 15-20 around the bathroom sink area, enjoying their stay (see photos). The good thing is we didn't settle into room yet. We called the front desk, they told us to come back to main office so they could change our room. The older lady at the desk did this quick and was very courteous. Since i can't upload video here, Later, I tried to snap photos from the video. So it's hard to see all the ants. Now we are in room 407, new cards and i inspected the entire place like an health inspector. Didn't see any ant friends. 5-16-2022 at around 12:30pm, i get a phone call from the manager lady. I'm half asleep. Shes telling me on the phone i'm not suppose to be in this room. I can barely understand her. I told her i had ants in my other room 403 and i was transferred to this room yesterday, the older lady put me in here by the front desk. She repeated you were suppose to check out already. Finally after a bunch of going back and forth, i verified my name again. Then she said I wasn't in the computer. How is that possible? What kind of organization is this? Then she apologizes, then i go back to sleep. BUT WAIT! IT GETS WORST! We are about to leave the room to head to dinner, i forgot my cell phone in the room. We try both keys and none of them worked. Obviously the manager deactivated the card keys since i wasnt suppose to be in the room. Didn't bother to reactivate the same keys, because she assumed i was someone else. Bad organization, bad communications, bad updating customer information, plus bad training for staff of not having correct in room. So i had to wait for a maintenance guy, didn't take long, just 5 minutes. He opened the door, so i could get my phone. Then i had to go back to the front desk, where older lady (forgot her name), was upset at the manager. She went on and on, that she put our correct information in the computer for that room. I don't know what to believe. So we have new keys to the room. WHITE POWDER STUFF FALLING FROM CEILING IN LIVING ROOM (SEE PHOTOS) 5-16-22 in the evening. We are using the pool in the room. Guess what we see? More ANTS!! They are back, but this time just the scout ants are here (I studied ants for my house and business. Learned how they send out scouts for food, then leave an invisible trail for the colony to follow so everyone can bring food back to the queen). So these ants were around the outside of the pool, looking for food. About 10-15 of them maybe. They were just running around looking for anything. We just squished them with our fingers (like aliens would do to humans one day), and splashed water on the rest. Wife left a small piece of hot ghost pepper nacho chip for them. We told the front desk later, and they offered to move us, but, We just stayed put. PARADISE STREAM NEED TO FIRE THEIR PEST CONTROL COMPANY OR CONTRACTOR. Whoever is doing their pest control is using out dated methods from the 1970s and 1980s. Spraying on the floors of rooms isn't the way to do things anymore, that's primitive! Thats what the lady at the front desk told me they could do. I don't want that in my lungs. Why would you spray something with all those chemicals that will hurt the guest more than the ant? There are smarter ways to deal with ants, i figured out the secrets. "GETTING RID OF ANTS FOR DUMMIES" 3 steps (I would do this for them if they were paying me). FIRST you setup a 6-8 feet ant spray perimeter around each hotel room block. You take out the ant colony outside of the 4 room apartments. This stuff on amazon can help with that: "Amdro Ant Block Home Perimeter Ant Bait, 1LB" SECOND set up these traps outside the apartments and in the area under the room (maintenance area): "Terro 1806 Outdoor Liquid Ant Baits" Search on amazon. THIRD Set up these indoor ant traps in places in the room guest can't see: "TERRO T300B Liquid Ant Killer, 12
This resort is good!! Bonnie was soo excellent and soo accommodating. She (Bonnie) made me and my husband first visit here very special. We stayed in the Champagne tower and the room was ok. First and foremost: the room have plumbing issues, they need to fix the bathroom ceiling, and the pool and the jacuzzi was not cleaned!! Besides all those other problems the room was very romantic
The property is seriously dated, half of the activities are out of order, the bartender hates her job, and the hot water doesn't work. One of the MAIN things we chose this property for was the in room tub. How disappointing when we attempted to use it and the water was ice cold. Of course that meant we couldn't shower either which was even worse. We called the desk and the man working the front desk was obviously annoyed by our concern. They sent someone out an hour later and then called us an hour after that to let us know it was broken. Well duh. Also they called us to inform us well after 12AM.. Breakfast was rotten, and they were out of half of what they needed. Their customer service is a JOKE too. We've been trying to contact them for weeks regarding our stay in October but we continually get voicemails and promises to "get back to us" with nothing in return. Also in attempts to call the resort I found that their phones go "out of service" pretty often. What a waste of almost $1000 for 2 nights in a glorified motel. Not exactly the most ideal romantic experience. I waited to make this review until we had given it enough time and I can't believe that they have yet to give us any response.
I really, really wanted to like this place. I really did. My fiancee and I booked the Diana's Oasis room for a night, which is the second tier below the champagne rooms. It wasn't an inexpensive booking: by the time we paid all the various fees and such, we could have stayed a week in a more modest hotel. I'm going to mention the price because the problems with the room are exacerbated by the pricing. If you order a medium rare steak at the Awful Waffle, and it comes out well done, you shrug, eat it, and move on with your life; if you order medium rare at Chez Fancy Pants and it comes out medium well, it matters. On first impression, the room looked like a lot of fun, and nice. There's a small foyer, with the bathroom off of it. The bathroom sports a good sized walk-in shower, with multiple shower heads. The bedroom has a heart shaped jacuzzi, a round bed, a couple of chairs, and behind it, the "pool" room. The room is a little 70's tacky, but ... hey, we knew that going in, and that was part of the fun. The problem is... it doesn't look like anything has been touched up since 1974. On closer look, several of the sconces were broken and cracked, or missing chips. The furniture all had scratches, chips, dents, and such on it. Lightbulbs were burnt out and hadn't been replaced. The mirrors all had large black spots on them, and in one place, the mirror had been hastily repaired using duct tape! Yowch: for the price, they can keep up with the repairs on the place. Cleanliness was similarly lax -- it looked "clean enough," but a better look around showed footprints in the pool area, smudges and grease on a chair (given the atmosphere of the hotel, you know what that was from), etc. Worse, I woke up late at night to use the restroom, and discovered a large roach in the bathroom. YUCK! Given the atmosphere of the place, as a "couple's retreat," it really makes me wonder just what other things weren't cleaned and how they may have been used... :-X Having spent the day hiking, our first stop was the shower. One of the three shower heads was poorly attached and fell out of its holder, spraying water everywhere. Okay, that was actually pretty funny. There was a little tiny bath mat, which didn't serve to keep the floors dry under the best of circumstances, and definitely not then. The jets in the hot tub were poor, as well, and a couple of them barely put out any water (some were fine, some just didn't work well). The indoor swimming pool, by the way, is about 5-feet deep, maybe 3' wide, and 7' long (I'm guestimating, I didn't measure). Its more of a soaking pool than a swimming pool. The ladder wasn't well attached, rather rickety, and had a large wire obvious underneath it. Perhaps the most frustrating part was the way the room's shape effected the air conditioner. The foyer area bottlenecks with the bathroom into the main room. The AC is in the foyer - and you can set it at 60° if you want, and still have the rest of the room be hot, muggy, and uncomfortable: its hard for the cool air to get out of the foyer. This is especially true if you've used the pool or hot tub, or ... well, let's just say "used the bed." The round bed's novelty quickly wore off when it came time to sleep: I'm just 5'9, but even at the very centre, my feet stuck over. Also, one final word of warning. If you've seen their marketing materials, and are expecting to see anyone like the models in the ads, forget about it. I'm in my 30s, my fiancee in her 20s, and if you add our age together, you'll still be below the average age of the guests at the hotel: like the furniture, it seems like they've been there since the 70s.
We will come back, Donna was amazing and so friendly and sweet. Lynnda (might have spelled it wrong was funny, sweet and an amazing greeter and loudgie was an amazing waitress and a sweet heart. Cons some of the activities they listed were not there and should be removed from the list 2. Outside activities need to be updated but we're fun. 3. Property is older which I understand some of the things but times and all should be replaced outside. 4. Poconos palace game room is amazing hope this place updates theirs. 5. The rooms need to be re painted and the crack and crevices inside should be fixed also. That is how pest get in. 6. The AC needs updated the rooms are warm the AC did nothing. PROs 1. Relaxing 2. Wooden location is awesome. We saw deer up close which they were nice deer. 3. Plenty of great views 4. The whole staff is so friendly and top notch. 5. We enjoyed our room and know it is a older place so nothing terrible about our room. 6. Breakfast and lunch was great 7. I like everything they offer is walking distance from where we were
I've never experienced anything like this before, never been to a romantic resort. This was an exciting experience. I stayed at the Lakeside suite which has a heart shaped Jacuzzi inside. Both the Jacuzzi and the view were amazing. The bed was very comfortable and had no stains surprisingly given what this establishment is all about LOL. Unfortunately, because of Covid, the lake activities were closed but there are many activities to play on the compound like mini golf, volleyball, and archery. But I think those things are better with multiple people not just a partner. During Covid time, you need a reservation for dinner and breakfast. Breakfast had a great selection it was very tasty. Dinner honestly wasn't as impressive. The service wasn't very good and the food was just ok. The cocktails were subpar, really tasted like syrup was used to make them. Also need a reservation for the spa. The spa is from a different company than the resort so I won't review them here but it's an option that you should call for ahead of time. Overall, I enjoy my getaway here.

My husband and I stayed this past weekend June 16 to the 19 and really enjoyed ourselves. We stayed in a Lakeside Villa Room. Chef was extremely accommodating to our dietary needs. Activities were great just wished more couples took advantage in participating. Bingo and trivia definitely drew a crowd. We checked out Callie's Homade Candy shop and House of Candles in the local area. Left a deposit at Mount Airy Casino. We will definitely return. We did have an issue with room but then received room upgrade. read more

After reading so many negative reviews I was extremely hesitant to come to paradise stream. After experiencing it myself I see that some of those reviews are true, but despite that fact I think it's best to experience the place for yourself and decide if it's worth it. While I don't regret coming I don't think I would come back for a 2nd time. The resort is outdated, the pool inside our room had some rustiness. The sheets had some minor stains which seemed to be poor laundry service. The bed was very comfortable and spacious; the room was clean. We did the all-inclusive which included breakfast and dinner (lunch is not included). Breakfast was buffet style and it's the same options every day. Dinner options were themed based on the day and the food was pretty good. The overall layout of the room was cozy and cute. The clientele during our stay were predominantly older couples. The staff was welcoming; there were fun activities and excursions to do. So overall the resort wasn't exactly my cup of tea but for something local enough to the tri-State area...It might be the place. read more

Oh, Paradise Stream - where do we start? The incredibly dank smell? Or maybe the half-roll of toilet paper we were allotted for the entire weekend? I'll start with simply - the beginning. After a late check-in (we were coming from the D.C. area) we were so excited to open the door to the room that my wife and I had been fantasizing about since AT LEAST 1988. The Heart-Shaped pool! The Round Bed! And the CHAMPAGNE Jacuzzi! Erh Merh Gherd - we couldn't WAIT! Then, we open the door to what smelled like the Motel 6, albeit a large apartment-sized Motel 6. It was SOOOO dank! It smelled like my Aunt's old Delta 88 with cloth seats after she forgot to roll-up the windows and the seats got moist and mixed a little with the cigarette butts in the door panel. But hey...no big deal, right? Crank that A/C up a bit and we shouldn't even notice! Toured the room a little and simply put - we couldn't WAIT to get in that amazing Champagne Tower! Start the hot water, throw in a little bubble bath, and turn up the Luther Vandross because it's about to get just a little more dank up in here! (Okay, maybe TMI - but I'm trying to paint a picture here.) Order food from Spooner's Grille (they have wine despite only showing beer on the menu, btw - just gotta ask) and we are really anticipating mixing hummus and a steak and cheese with the Merlot we were planning on slamming down like a gavel in Judge Judy's hands. Food and fuel - CHECK. From the lower level, we looked up to see the water level to make sure we weren't going to make too much splish-splash and soak the lower level. "Yeah, baby...it looks like it's about to go dow...wait, what is that?" We creep up to the bottom of the Jacuzzi to find a personalized Band-Aid floating in the tub. Oh yeah...personalized to someone, unequivocally and beyond a shadow of a doubt if CSI wanted to check for its owner. Well...looks like the Champagne Tower is a No-Go for the night. No worries - there's a sauna in the pool area and since I can't get that Moist Heat, I'm about to dry out and really get things...Medium Rare and cooked over-hard, if you catch my drift. (See what I did?) I'll just use the Steam Shower and get this a little hot and wet, eh? Bow-chicka-wow-wow. I flip that switch like I'm flicking on, well...whatever. And like so many people, unlike me because I'm no loser, despite me flicking on the switch - NOTHING HAPPENS. No steam. I hear something, but nothing is coming out. Called down to the Front Desk again, and yeah..."We disabled those things years ago." Really? Maybe things got a little TOO hot and steamy for someone and it was simply too much to include in the experience for liability purposes. Head down to the sauna. Moist heat is overrated anyway, right? Turn that sauna on and start waiting. 5min, 7min, 10min...waiting. Listening for a hiss. Nothing. Damn, Sauna is in-op too. Cool. At least you can't really mess up the heart shaped pool. Fortunately, the pool endeavor went off without a hitch. Time for bed. Luther Vandross and Prince blessed us from the Heaven's with some real jams. We wake up to start exploring after our complimentary breakfast. There's all sorts of activities at the resort! Archery, so I can practice shooting my love arrows with the accuracy of Cupid (take that how you will), Mini-Golf because I'm trying to work on this Hole in One, and Basketball, because I'm about to dunk on that ass! Wait...mini-golf is really just a few platforms of green turf with a hole in them, and the basketball rims are hanging onto the backboard as if Shaquille O'Neal just did a Gatorade commercial and bankrupted the set. Looks like our "resort activities" are going to be cut a bit. Went back in the room to tidy up a bit. Cleanliness is next to godliness, right? Went to throw our food trays away since Room Service didn't during Room Service time. No big deal. Maybe they thought we were still working on the hummus and sandwich despite all of the trash being stuffed in the trays. Walk over to throw them in the bin and what do I see? What could only be a splattering of vomit going across the walls into the space where the trash can is located. Maybe some love-struck couple had a little too much vino and tried to get it all into the can at least. Maybe there was an attempt at cleaning the wall. Or maybe, that splatter came from some couple in the late 1980's and the residual coloring was just too much to deal with and it slowly dissipated throughout the decades. I would say that this person could've simply went to the toilet area to vomit, but I realize that they probably would've been just as fine using the bin since there's only a half-roll of toilet paper for the couples to use throughout the weekend. Maybe there was some serious rationing going on after Ghostbusters was released. All in all, it wasn't "that" bad. We DID get to live out an 80's fantasy, so we have that going for us. read more

With some TLC this place could be 5 starts and a place I would return to again and again. The overall idea of this place is amazing, and the amenities are wonderful for a romantic getaway. But they are WAY over priced for the quality. They charge like Hilton for Quality Inn feel. My girlfriend and I are staying in the champagne tower suites. Overall the room is pretty dingy. Several light switches don't work, outlets are so old and loose that my phone charger will barely stay plugged in. Bedsheets are clean, but dingy and stained with what looks like blood. The star lights over the bed can't be used because when you turn them on there is a pretty loud buzzing sound that comes from them that sounds like they're about to short out. The pool is nice, and the champagne tower tub is nice. The fan light in the toilet room is so loud it sounds like an airplane taking off. The ceiling in the bedroom area is pretty bad and the living room ceiling has huge water stains on some of the tiles. The service has been good. Overall we are having a nice time because we're together, but I would not come back unless they did some serious updates to make the room quality reflect the nightly rates they charge. Really wishing I'd done more research before booking. I think a nice Airbnb in the mountains would be a much better option. read more

Beautiful place wish everything was open but the Covid happened. Lots of activities to do friendly staff. Best dirty martini from the bar don't remember her name (bartender) but it was amazing. Rooms are beautiful but outdated but beautiful, a little TLC and this place would be out of the world. Saw a couple deers walking through it was a nice breath of fresh air. Will definitely be going back!!! read more

Decor - Stayed in the Diana Oasis Suite, as described, in suite Jacuzzi and pool. The pool was a bot dusty and looked like it could've been drained a cleaned. The bathroom was cold (heat didn't work) ... now that that's out of the way ... There weren't a lot of guests during our stay. The activities were fun, the music was inclusive :). The drinks were strong and reasonably priced HIGHLIGHT: Food!!! So, I am a pescatarian and my guy is a VEGAN (always an issue with him) They do have a vegetarian menu but it doesn't quite cut it for the vegan that stays away from dairy, honey etc. SO, the chef cam out and recorded all of his likes and dislikes and prepared our breakfast and dinner for the remainder of our stay as we had the all inclusive option. HOW DOPE WAS THAT?? I will definitely return, maybe even try the sister resorts Pocono Palace or Cove Haven read more

We are gold members and have been here many times. We didn't come here for a while because the rooms were old and weren't well kept but we decided to give it a try two weeks ago. We got apple suite this time as Champagne tower wasn't available. We were presently surprised to see our upgraded suite. I would have have given 5 stars but there are few things that still need improvement and I will find my constructive criticism later. I am vegetarian and very picky with food. Upon our check in the chef came out to talk to me to make sure I he can accommodate me which was great. The restaurant service was good. We lived our waiter Jared he was very good. We had decent dinner and their breakfast buffet is pretty big with many selections. The lounge is great with good entertainment and all bartenders are nice especially Patrick. Constructive criticisms: We got Kelsey as our front desk person and she was horrible. She didn't welcome us and was very stiff. She didn't explain anything and didn't even give us out pins and gift we are supposed to get as gold members. At the same time, another front desk person Stefano was helping other couple and he was great assisting them. Wish we had him. All in all I think most except Stefano can use training. The other issue was room cleaning. Although, it was clean but the sauna wasn't clean and full of water. The other thing was when we decided to sit by fireplace, mantel was dusty when i ran my finger thru the dust. All in all we enjoyed so much and decide to come back. We just checked in to our champagne tower and sitting in lounge and enjoying some entertainment. read more

Why 5 stars? Cause anyone who booked these rooms in advance and didn't do their research are crazy. The Ritz Carlton this is not, but i got exactly what i expected. EMBRACE THE NOVELTY OF IT PEOPLE! you're staying in a resort that hasn't been updated since 1972 and has champagne towers and hot shaped tub....i mean, duh! My husband and i like to go away in March for a nice getaway but couldn't afford something super fancy this year so we went fun/funny. I played air hockey in the game room. Took a bath in a champagne tub. Swam in my "in room pool". There was live music. Food and drinks and a friendly staff. And yes my sheets were clean. read more

New Years vacation with my love! when we got to the room there was a extremely foul smell coming from the bathroom. My husband wanted to try the jacuzzi and I made sure I was to clean it first. When i turned on the jets there was so much dirt and filth inside the tub. The pool was okay but the area looked disgusting. I called to complain they just sent a man to clean the tub and he didn't even do a better job than I did. They eventually gave us an apology room which was bigger, cleaner and better than the other.. but I know I will never return to this place, I was so embarrassed. read more

Hello,…
Not what I was expecting at all!!! I booked this back in January for me & my boyfriend on Priceline without reading the reviews first. For the amount of money that I paid...we could've went on a weekend getaway with round trip tickets included and stayed in a much better resort in Florida. I was disappointed the minute I left the lobby after check in. A few days before checking in, I received an email regarding an upgrade for a discounted price which I was unable to get because all of the available rooms wit h the champagne tower were out of order. The girl who checked us in did not explain any of the amenities on the ground just simply circled what was available on a sheet of paper and directed us with her hands swaying where the gift shop was to rent equipment and about where our room would be. We purchased the meal plan for the following day (Saturday) for $47.50 per person and Lobster & Steak all you can eat was the meal for that night but declined the all you can eat breakfast for $15 because it's from 8:30am til 11am, we weren't sure if we would be up in time. After leaving the lobby... we drove to our room (512) the Diana Oasis Suite and upon walking in I immediately got a bad feeling just looking at how dirty the door was. We were smacked in the face by the strong odor of urine inside of the room that we almost gagged. All we did when we first arrived was dropped our bags off and left to go eat and buy air freshener and bleach to scrub the tub with. We left the door of the pool open so at least the place would smell like a fire place when we returned. Oh by the way, you need to purchase wood to get the fire place in the pool going. We ventured into town, got something to eat and went to buy cleaning supplies and when we returned it smelled better when we first arrived thanks to my boyfriend keeping the door open by the pool. I scrubbed the tub with bathroom cleaner with bleach and sprayed all the air freshener I possibly could. I even purchased a gel glade freshener to keep it smelling fresh. The bed was clean..kind of small because its round but super comfy. Unfortunately my boyfriend was sick with a stomach virus the entire time Friday so we didn't get to enjoy the room much but we did get a very good night of sleep. Our AC in our room stayed on 58 high and the room just wouldn't cool down...it was very warm which didn't bother me much but my boyfriend was very hot. I can't imagine being here in the summer though...I probably would die from heat exhaustion. The next day I was up pretty early since we got a really good night of sleep so I showered early and got ready. There is a heater in the bathroom which is sooooo nice and its definitely great for when you step out...you dont get the cold chill while you're drying yourself. The shower is actually really nice and the shower head pressure is good however after showering...I felt like I needed another shower, I suppose the water in PA is not like NY so its not what Im used to. We picked up a hot spot pamphlet at the front desk to try to plan our day as early as possible and take a look at the grounds and the game room. The game room was fabulous and although we didn't dip into the hot tub or the pool by the game room...it sure was a beautiful sight to look at. The grounds of the property are well kept, the grass is green....theres an outdoor pool but of course it wasnt open because its only April. We played basketball in the game room as well as pool and it was free. We indulged in Happy hour at the night club and even played a game of Bingo before heading to dinner. DJ Chris and Kevin were awesome...we had a lot of laughs with them and they definitely provide great entertainment! Dinner was lobster & steak and we even had shrimp pasta. It was really good from what I remember cause I was a little tipsy. Our waitress was friendly and the dining area was nice and intimate. The last night we were there we decided to take a dip in the pool in our room which was at a good temperature and not as bad as I thought it would be. It was definitely a very intimate experience and I loved every minute of it. I started out with giving this place a 2 star review but honestly..its not all that bad...its what u make of it and I had a great time. Theres plenty to do and its a very relaxing place.. its exactly what u make of it. I can honestly say I had the time of my life by the pond in the paddle boat with my boyfriend. It was definitely a great experience and I hope to return again. read more

Overall a fun time , gift shop expensive but I got a lot of things there so I won't complain. Dinner was unpleasant twice with pink chicken . I stood three day's and then extended my time there , Last full day there I was disrespected by a lady who works there, she didn't like the music that was playing from my speaker and decided to put two chairs in front of ours by the outdoor pool area. Drinks were amazing try the apple jolly rancher drink, and spooners food awesome. read more

We're happy you had an overall fun time at our resort, but…
I came here on a Groupon deal with my boyfriend for a weekend getaway. After reading some reviews I was nervous about coming here and not having a great time. I do agree that this place is outdated compared to the shiny Mount Airy Casino about 1/2 mile away with a beautiful lake front. We got the Lakeside Villa - which reminds me of a catacomb but it's nice to have your own little 'house'. It has a direct patio to the lake and you can enjoy the view. (it's beautiful in the morning). I was afraid that the room would have bugs in it based on another yelp review but my room was very clean. Outdated yes (since i'm so use to the VIP suite at Atlantic City Hotels) but still very clean. The food was okay. I mean to serve such a large number of people not everything is perfect. Friday night we had the buffet and I just ate because I was hungry. Saturday it was a 4 course meal, apps were fine, salad needs a little work on, entree was decent and dessert was excellent! And I love love their breakfast buffets (i'm a sucker for bunch). PS. get the all inclusive option if you can, its worth it. There is ample amount of activities you can do. They have mini golf course (9 courses), archery, swimming pool, bon fire, shuffle board, bike rentals and a game room and a 15-20 min nature trail. I'm pretty sure there are paddle boats for when the season is warmer. As mentioned above, they have a casino near by as well. We pretty much just stayed locally and did the activities that were already provided for us. Their CXO events were a lot of fun. It definitely helps couples communicate better and you get to know other couples as well. There is also a Spa onsite where the gift shop is. My boyfriend and I booked a massage and it was a great experience. The mark up for Spa isn't that high compared to your local spa (maybe around $15 higher). They also have happy hour in their 'theater night club'. Again, outdated but I think this place is very tailored to older couples. (I'm also willing to bet we were the youngest couple there). Their drinks are amazing and bar food is good. Overall, it was a good experience. All the staff members were great - Joan (from Gift Shop), our masseuse (Steven and Tara), our CXO (Amari) and even our server (Christoper). They all did a fantastic job. read more

Thank you to the staff of Paradise Stream. Because of your refusal to accommodate my boyfriend and I according to the terms on your website, we canceled our reservation, found a charming B&B, went on a nature hike, and visited an abandoned honeymoon resort. It started when I asked boyfriend to plan a weekend getaway for my birthday. He chose a retreat located in the Poconos, or the former "honeymoon capital of the world." Looking back, I think the torrential downpour was trying to tell me something as we checked into our private villa overlooking a pond. The main hall featured [paid] light refreshments before dinner. As we headed into the dining room, the host said we were not on the inclusive meal plan normally standard with the rooms. Because boyfriend had booked through another party, the management refused to comply with the wording listed on their website stating "as a guest of the resort, you will enjoy all inclusive breakfast and dinner." As the wording was misleading and the management refused to comply, we chose to leave. We soon found a cute bed and breakfast nearby that was honest. Dinner was one of the best meals I ever feasted upon and breakfast the next day was just as tasty. We spent Sunday hiking through stunning Bushkill Falls. Did I mention the rust on the outside of the door frame to our villa??? Not exactly a great first impression. On our way home, we stopped at Penn Hills Resort, sadly abandoned since the owner passed in 2009. I couldn't help but wonder if Paradise Stream is headed toward a similar fate. p.s. They have since changed the wording on their site. read more

My boyfriend scheduled a surprise birthday weekend here for my birthday. When I first arrived I noticed it was a little outdated... But clean! The room had a private pool with fire place, a jacuzzi tub and a round bed. The campus was very nice. Super pretty pond and lots of activities to do. They also have an indoor pool and game room. You'll be having so much fun if your partner isn't a boring lol The food and live entertainment was very good too! Only reason I give this 4 stars is bc outdated decor and that my bf had scheduled chocolate covered strawberries before dinner but they never showed so he had to call and reschedule the time... Here I could've went to dinner engaged if they'd remembered to deliver them hahaha but it all worked out. Overall I'd recommend this place. I'll definitely be booking here again for a nice couples retreat! read more

I agree with Paige, this place is phenomenal! Everything has been newly redecorated, the room we got was the Garden of Eden Apple & it was beautiful! The room and the grounds were clean and there was plenty to do. We had breakfast delivered to our room one morning and the next we enjoyed a wonderful breakfast buffet at the restaurant. The recreational building had everything from an arcade, billiards, gym and indoor pool with waterfall hot tubs inside to archery, basketball,volley ball, horse shoes and outdoor pool with bar and fire pit. You can walk to the stables to go horse back riding or go to one of nearby State Parks, Casino or Wildlife Parks. The town it's situated in is no where near a ghost town, it's a smaller town but has Casino's and even a Cheese Cake Factory. read more

My husband and I booked our second honeymoon here through a Groupon. We booked a Lakeside Villa room with inclusive breakfast and dinner and activities. Upon check in we received a complimentary upgrade to the Garden of Eden Apple room which included a private sauna, pool, heart shaped tub, round bed, and ultimate privacy. Of course, we were there to spend a fair amount of time in the room and the upgrades made it all the more enjoyable and romantic. The breakfasts and dinner were delicious, perfect portions, great service, and enjoyable atmosphere. There was nightly entertainment, which were were pleasantly surprised by and the happy hour drink specials were reasonable. We enjoyed the natural scenery, seclusion, daytime activities, and it was the perfect setting to re-kindle the love! Very accommodating for the erotic :) Rooms without the groupon are pretty pricey, but the discounts and upgrades we received made it a great deal for us! read more

I was so excited to go back to one of the Pocono resorts. Last time I visited was 19 years ago. I booked a 2 night stay At The Diana's Oasis. Bathroom was the only thing that looked like it had been updated. The furniture was scratched up. But I was okay to overlook that. The biggest disappointment was the pool. It was dirty. I didn't smell clean. The mirrors were disgusting. Dirty. For the price, I expected a nice clean "everything" in the room. Yes, including the mirrors. What's the purpose of having all these mirrors and they look like they haven't been cleaned in months. On another note, the front desk staff that helped us when we arrived was wonderful. The food was good. We almost left after the first Night. Decided to stay and woke up at 5am and left. Not sure if I would return to this particular location. read more

I would give it a 5 but 2 doors were kinda broken in my room and also the sauna had some cobwebs inside so that could have been cleaner as well as a flower petal or something in the pool but I loved my stay. I wish I was able to stay longer. My stay was in the Champagne Tower Suite, I absolutely loved it's set up and it was a surprise to have a steam shower. I enjoy steam rooms way more than saunas so I was super excited just wish the shower was a bit bigger and had more room to sit and not feel burned by the steam. I loved the pool and the different levels within the room it was such a fun place to stay. Our champagne we had delivered to the room was absolutely delicious. We had two bottles and I wish I had some to bring home. Loved the Champagne Tower tub in the room, all the different lighting in the different areas and of course all the mirrors. Bed was amazing as well :) I would come back, looks a little sketch at first but when you get to the rooms but inside the room the atmosphere is much better. Friendly front desk attendants :) I wish I would have gotten their names to give them special recognition. read more

Joey D. from Brooklyn hit the nail on the head. Only difference between his experience and ours was we DID get a FULL REFUND, probably because we booked through Expedia. Management responded by saying renovations were taking place, and though we were there a year later, there was no evidence of this. In fact we were told renovations were scheduled but not being done "because of the storm". Now for OUR experience: We entered Champagne Towers Room 428 to a very funky smell. The best way to describe it was wet, moldy and old-sex-smelling. Our first attempt to use the room facilities was to swim in the pool. We found bugs, sticks and rose petals from previous users, in the water and along the sides. We made 3 calls to get it cleaned and though maintenance came hours later, it made little difference. The bed sheet stunk and we later noticed a fecal matter stain on the sheet! GROSS!! (Please see photo.) Tracey came to change the sheet which was a 20 minute process. As she pulled the bed out, there were more rose petals from sexcapades of Poconos past. We could tell that she was overworked and the place was understaffed. Even with the clean sheets, the place was still dusty and funky. To escape from the room, we walked the grounds and tried to use the games in the recreation center. Many games just ate my coins or did not work properly. When we felt we'd seen all the negative aspects, we went for dinner in the restaurant. Food quality was less than TV dinner caliber. At this point my wife and I were only talking about getting a refund on the meal vouchers. Admittedly, we enjoyed participating in "The Newlywed Game" activity and "Mr. Hipno" put on an enjoyable show, but these were the only things were were positive about the experience. During the night, my wife could see I was depressed about spending our hard-earned money on the worst hotel experience we've ever had. We made a decision to check out the very next morning and to the hotel's credit, we were issued a full refund. We immediately changed our plans and spent our remaining time off vacationing in the Finger Lakes at the Best Western Plus. This was a clean 2-year old hotel and we enjoyed our stay there immensely. Needless to say, we won't be staying at Paradise Stream or any other property from these hotels. If management decides to post a response please don't try to lie and say upgrades are being made. That won't fly! read more

Just came back from here today... I was a bit skeptical going here but took a chance... And I'm glad I did! We had a fabulous time... It might be a cheesy place for some.. But a great way to rekindle love with your partner or just a fun weekend ... We stayed at the Diana's oasis .. One of the more renovated rooms .. Never had I seen a room like this before ... You have a jacuzzi a POOL and a fireplace all to yourself and your partner! The room was super clean ( i check the first thing I do every time I go into a room ) there was absolutely no complains there. There's a lot of things you can do on the premises archery biking paddle boat games etc.... The entertainment is awesome as well at night.... The breakfast and dinner are included with your stay and it was pretty good.. Everyone's super friendly and helpful... Would def stay again ! read more

Bought a livingsocial deal for a stay here so decided to choose this as the place to celebrate our two year anniversary. If you buy any kind of deal here, or stay here in general get ready for a lot of bullshit promises. The website for this place is sneaky as it describes all three places, you're not sure what your actually getting. Firstly be prepared to drop additional money when you check in for upfront tax and tips. I want to applaud the person who writes the website descriptions because good Christ are they good at stretching the truth. Sure you can go to the other resorts and share amenities, If you want to drive an hour away. The location: you are directly off the main road. When you're standing on your back balcony ready to enjoy the scenery and the animals , be prepared to also take in the scenery of all of the pickup trucks and shit that drives by. The other resorts are isolated but not this one. The room; we stayed in lakeside villas. Each room is it's own building with a back terrace which is private and nice. The inside is awesome, heart shaped tub, big bed, archways, marble shower and TVS. I love the campy cheesy vibe that's why I wanted the poconos, but with that said PLEASE UPDATE THE TVS. Stereo didn't work. Wifi was fine. The tub took a long time to fill, no issue, it's vacation so who's got anywhere to be however you better enjoy that one tub fillup because following that the water is freezing cold. Oh and don't bother taking a shower after because that shit is cold too. I could try and rationalize the hot water heater issue, but for the price why would I? Food: worst I've ever eaten ever. Breakfast included. The restaurant area was depressing. Entertainment: a great Motown band played Saturday, Friday this band the bridesmaids who blew. Comedians were great. The beers are average price, the liquor is GROSSLY overpriced. The interior look of the place was amazing. I loved the 70s vibe. The theater was beautiful. The pool: the pool is 24 hours I love that. It was clean, so over chlorinated my skin burned. Better safe than sorry. staff: for the most part the staff was wonderful. Attentive and quick to help. However I did find the desk receptionist Camber to be exceptionally unwelcoming. We tried to see if we could extend our stay for possibly a better price (since booking three nights online offered a deal) and she was exceptionally dismissive. She also seemed unwilling to offer us any assistance. As a result we booked our extra night elsewhere. . read more

Overall our stay was nice, however there was one issue that was really disturbing, the toilet seat. As soon as we checked in, we contacted house keeping, the supervisor said there were no replacements in stock. The seat was broken and worn out, pitted with holes that can't really be cleaned. I'm adding pictures and I'm sure there will be some type of bogus response, however there is a Lowe's right down the road, how hard would it be to go buy one and install it? With COVID-19, this is one area that should not be over looked! read more
