    bed bugs

    truly don't know where to begin. When we arrived to check in, they had run out of room keys. Every time we left the room, we had to wait for a security guard to walk us back and unlock it, which continued until about midnight on our first day. The room was extremely outdated and in serious need of improvement. There was a terrible smell throughout the room that was absolutely disgusting. The water was either freezing cold or burning hot, making it impossible to shower comfortably. To make matters worse, out of the nine rooms my family rented, we found bedbugs in seven of them. When I went to speak to the manager the next morning to report the issue, she casually asked if we would like them to wash our clothes and said, "It's not a big deal." That response was completely unacceptable and showed a lack of concern for the seriousness of the situation. Overall, this experience was extremely disappointing and upsetting.

    A very busy arcade.

    I am not getting a warm and fuzzy feeling reading a lot of these reviews and not sure why. We came up with some friends and stayed in a villa across the street from the main lodge and had a wonderful time. It was two bedrooms with a hot tub and sauna. It was amazing we walked into a very clean environment and just had to set it up for ourselves for the next couple of days I always feel that people come to certain places with certain expectations that are not easily met also there is very little that can't be fixed so before you complain about it see what can be done to rectify the situation. All we did was enjoy our three days up in the Poconos. We took some drives around the area, cooked some fun meals and went to the main building one night to go to the game room play some. Participated in bingo, trivia but not bowling, which was available to us. The staff here is fabulous and helped any way they could. It snowed while we were up there and the plows came quickly and cleared up everything as quick as can be to make the driving easy for us very easy. This was my first time up here and hopefully we'll be returning next year with our friends. KUDOs to the team at Split Rock Resort.

    The baby pool

    This hotel has massive violations. The elevator wasn't working. They have construction and waste debris not contained in their upper parking lot. The shower didn't operate in our hotel room and front desk didn't seem to take note or seem concerned. The amenities, if you could call them that, were reserved for private events without advance notice to other guests. Do not stay here. If you have a reservation cancel it now. This place needs a total overhaul.

    Fitness center and indoor pool were dirty and water damaged no towels available in pool or fitness center. No cleaning products available to wipe down fitness equipment. Room had bugs in light fixtures, bugs in corners of bathroom, not enough towels in room. Burner was broken on stone in room and mini fridge didn't keep temperature. Broken pool tables in billiards room. So dirty we left early

    Very dated room

    First, the decor looks like it's been there since the place first opened up. Very dated. The sofabed mattress definitely needs replacing as it was hard and uncomfortable. There are too many dangerous things for a small child to get into. There were outlets that my child kept trying to touch and there were no outlet covers. I had to chase him around to make sure he didn't get into anything. The room itself has an open concept kitchen and no way to keep a child from going in there while you're cooking. The biggest security issue is the door. You can't lock the door. If a child pulls the handle the door will open and they can run out. It happened in my room as well as my sister's. My mother and I both slipped in the bathroom shower. Some safety bars would be helpful. I would not recommend going if you have smaller children, but if you must, bring a roll of duct tape so you can cover the exposed outlets and maybe something to tie the cabinet doors together.

    Sauna out of service

    We booked a 3 day family stay at the lodge from December 27th to December 30th at ~$315/night. - Lodge: It feels like an abandoned place. There is no front desk manager. If you try to call the phone number provided at the front desk, no one will pick up. I asked when Breakfast would be served. The resort staff said 8am, the janitor said 9am. No one had a clue and during breakfast you had to walk around the lodge to find staff to replace empty food items. - Amenities: The lodge has an indoor pool that has mold on ceilings, dirty jacuzzi (lots of sand inside) and the sauna was broken, dirty towels everywhere and no one on site. It looked like it had not been cleaned in ages. There are also supposed to be dining options but again, everything was closed. - Rooms: Internet is weak and spotty. Absolutely no way to work or do a zoom call. Also, our TV did not work (no cable and unable to connect to internet). Others on the same floor complained about brown water coming out of their sinks. - The town center resort: It takes ages to check in. The resort has several amenities including arcade, bowling and indoor pool. The arcade was entertaining for the kids but many of the games were broken. When you try to exchange the arcade tickets for prices ... good luck finding staff to do so. The indoor pool was cold and again not well maintained. It felt dirty (I.e, trash in the corners, floors black from dirt, etc.). - H2ooohh waterpark: The "ohh" probably stands for "oh my"! Two adults and one kid will cost you ~$100. That does not include a locker ($22/day) and towels (not even the hotel towels are allowed). The whole place was disgusting. There was mold, trash, dirt. One kid fell of his tube on the slide and rode down without it. His shirt was covered in brown gunk when he got out. I don't understand how this park passes any inspections. The hotel management is fully aware of the issues. Every time I went to the resort front desk, someone was complaining about their stay. Needless to say, we checked out a day early and got another hotel. For over $300/night this place is a rip off and management should be ashamed of it.

    THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ EVERYTHING about this amusement park was excellent + Extremely walkable for kids of all ages and not overwhelmingly huge + Pirate's Cove water park was one of the biggest and nicest water park areas we'd been to at a kid's amusement park ++++ North America's largest wading pool is inside the water park ++++ Chill lazy river + large water slides in the water park + Thrill rides were very kid-friendly and most are appropriate for kids 3 and over. Some might be a bit too wild, but a majority were perfect ++++ Thrill rides were your typical spin around and around and around rides with a few mini-roller coasters mixed in + 4 food vendors (3 food truck rucks and Mama Santa's Pizza) that served hot dogs, chicken nuggets, burgers, chicken sandwiches, fries, ice cream, sodas, lemonade, etc. Prices are very, very reasonable by 2025 standards + FREE parking!!!! + Can bring food and beverages inside and picnic at their many picnic tables + Can leave and re-enter the park whenever you please THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Admission is a bit pricey for everyone at about $37 per person (as of August 2025) RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Arrive at opening if you want to claim seats at Pirate's Cove. It might seem like a lot of beach chairs there, but they get filled up about 1 hour after opening.

    My family and I had our first Land of Make Believe experience this past summer. My two kiddos (7…read moreand 9) met up with a friend of mine and her daughter (3) to explore the Land of Make Believe. We went on an actually "chilly" weekday in the summer. We went straight to the water park, and there was nobody around as it was a little cold. We did the lazy river, which was a lot of fun. There are lots of spray areas where you can get wet as you travel along the river. Pirates cove is really cute with the pirate ship and all the smaller slides for the smaller kiddos that go into the shallow water. I took my kids on the bigger water slides and we had a blast. All the slides were thrilling and we went on them multiple times. The staff at the water slides were so nice, very helpful, and patient as we learned how to sit in the tubes. It was a great way to start off LOMB. After we got our waterpark fix, we changed and went on all the rides. They are small amusement park rides, but both of my kids enjoyed them. They went on every ride (many of them twice). After awhile, my daughter was starting to feel a bit nauseous as they have a lot of spinning rides so she had to tap out. We rode the train around the park and the conductor gave us a little tour of the area. We also visited the Halloween house and Santa's barn. Let me tell you - the Santa barn surprised me as I didn't expect a real Santa to be inside. My kids loved visiting him multiple times. He gave them cookie cutters and he was very kind. (At first I thought he was an animatronic, haha). As stated by many previous posts, it is nice that you can bring your own food. We purchased food from one of the stands, and it actually wasn't that bad at all. And the price is right! We ended the day with some ice cream of course. We spent most of the day there. It was a lot of fun and we will definitely be back next summer.

From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the vibrant atmosphere that felt both family-friendly and tailored to adults. The water park was a huge hit with our two girls, offering a wide array of slides that catered to all ages. Whether it was the thrilling rides or the relaxing wave pool, there was always something to keep the whole family entertained. One standout feature of our trip was the food. In previous resort experiences, we've often found ourselves disappointed by the dining options, but Kalahari shattered those expectations! The variety and quality of meals were truly exceptional. From quick snacks and Starbucks coffee, to gourmet meals at one of their multiple restaurants, every bite was delicious. It was refreshing to find such a diverse menu that pleased my wife, the kids, and me. We also appreciated the thoughtful layout of the resort. It was easy to find comfortable places to relax, and while it did take some hunting , we did manage to find a table each day. The array of jacuzzis was another bonus, with both family-friendly and 21-and-over options. Overall, our stay at Kalahari Resort Poconos was filled with fun and memorable moments. If you're looking for a place that offers a perfect blend of excitement and comfort, this is the spot!

However, the room was quite weathered - peeling furniture, urine stench, and low pressure frigid showers. As for the waterpark, there are many things to do for little ones to adults! So many options, but yet again, the water was so cold my son's lips turned blue and couldn't stay in the play structure very long. We've been to all the water parks in the area during the winter and this was definitely the coldest. Overall, the kids had a blast but don't come in the water unless you like cold showers and waterslides.

Headed to Tomahawk Lake as it was our go to once upon a time. The price PER PERSON (not per car load) was $22 ... and that was NOT including the water park. If you wanted to add on entrance to the water park it was ANOTHER $15 PER PERSON! We were a party of 4 adults and 3 teens and it would've literally been $259 to ENTER the lake!!!!! AIN'T NO WAY! For that price we could've done a real amusement park, a real water park ... a real lotta other things worth $259.

I regretted it right away. It's ridiculously crowded - no problem with parking as they sure made extra space in the back, but driving to the back woods parking lot I was afraid we were gonna hit someone cos of people walking indifferently on the paths. The tiny "beach" is made of hard packed sand, the texture of a dirt road. There are many garbage cans around, which, I appreciate that as there's nothing worse than trash on the ground, but I also don't want to be sitting next to one. There are some picnic tables in the further grassy areas that seemed more chill but the tables close to the water could not be crammed any closer together. The water where kids are playing in is murky and gross looking, as to be expected cos sediments stir up, but this just does not look clean and is way too full of people. And I would not call this a water park - it's a lake with some dingy play structures on it and some boat rides. There also don't seem to be enough lifeguards for this many kids. Summer prices (July 1-Aug 20) are $20pp over 9yo, and $18 for under 9, but you have to pay additionally for the water slides ($13-$17) and other activities. You might as well take your family to a proper waterpark for this price. Maybe once upon a time it was cute as people seem to have nostalgic memories of this place (and they definitely trade on the camp nostalgia), but it seems the park operator is only interested in packing in as many people as possible to the detriment of the experience. There is good live music with a guy playing old time rock n roll, they have hash browns yay (3 for $2.50), and my toddler had fun regardless of my lack of enjoyment or relaxation, hence the extra star.
