My family used to own a home here and this lake club was a huge part of my childhood. The location…read moreis still beautiful and the lake and pool are great, but boy have things changed. The staff are... something else. They seem less like recreation employees and more like a highly organized squad of mall cops. They patrol the grounds in packs, seemingly on a mission to find someone to reprimand. The overall atmosphere was incredibly unfriendly and unwelcoming, which is a strange vibe for a place that is supposed to be a family-oriented lake club. At one point, the staff waited at the shore for a man who was swimming outside of the designated swimming area and tried to apprehend him so they could call the POLICE. We understand that swimming areas exist for safety reasons, but the apparent eagerness to escalate a relatively minor rule violation to law enforcement was honestly baffling. Like you guys know you work for a lake club in the Poconos and not the FBI right? I would bet a lot of money that the local police department rolls their eyes when they see this place calling them again and again. Rules are rules, and we have no issue following them. But there's a pretty big difference between enforcing rules and making your guests feel like they're constantly being watched for an opportunity to get in trouble. Would absolutely recommend the lake. Would not recommend whatever law-enforcement internship program they have running at the beach.

While we did it, the cost was excessive. The cost is about 280 dollars for two hours. We will expect a different place to visit in the Poconos next summer.

Fast forward a year and he is confident, looks forward to his weekly lesson, swims solo and literally won't get out of the pool (Mr Josh has to carry him out!). We take private lessons with Josh Ferraro. As a team, we create goals for our son and really focus on making it fun. Josh is so engaging and it is clear he loves what he does, even when he is working with a more challenging child. The peace of mind I have now with my son being safe in the water is freeing. Highly recommend!!!

The pool was also extremely crowded. People were jumping into the water, throwing balls, and tossing each other around, which led to people accidentally getting hit. It didn't feel like there was much enforcement of pool safety or courtesy. I imagine the experience would be much better on a weekday when it's less busy, but I still think the pool should have clearer rules and better supervision to keep everyone safe. Overall, I'd recommend reconsidering the admission policy for infants and enforcing pool rules more consistently to create a safer, more enjoyable environment for families.

They gave us a list of 4 subcontractors. One installer no longer installed the pools, one didn't return a call, one had a very negative review and low rating, which left us with a gentleman known named Matt. We went through over three weeks of no shows or doing little to no work. He showed up on the day of our install and said he couldn't do the work. He promised to return the next day. He never showed. He promised everyday to show and ended up showing the next Wednesday. He dropped off his trailer and bobcat, returned two hours later and dropped off a dump trailer. He took the trailer and bobcat and returned two days later. He'd promise to come out and never show occurred at least a dozen times. He finally showed up on Friday and did work but couldn't complete it due to missing parts. Northampton pools ordered the wrong parts initially. We were promised an over night delivery on the new parts. I went to the store a day and half later only to be told they weren't overnighted and were coming on Tuesday. Almost a week later we got the parts. It took 5 separate deliveries to get all our parts. Our first delivery we weee told to skids would show up and we only got one. We approached Greg the owner about a refund which he wouldn't honor. After several rounds of trying to get their help to assist with the installer, the one employee stated that are contractor does near perfect work but isn't all there upstairs. We ended up firing our installer a d losing half our install fee and found a new guy. He insisted the karts still were t right but managed to get our pool set up. It was the most frustrating and stressful experience I've ever encountered. Do yourself a favor and go with another pool company.

Although I…read morehad been inside the facility several times over the years, I had never seen the new outdoor pools and water park theme up close. Have to say that while it appears to be an amusement park from beyond the fence with massive water slides and multiple aquamarine pools for various uses; from within it makes more sense and is actually quite attractive in a hyperactive way. Happy Hour with half price drinks was a good deal, and the bar food offerings were also well designed to complement the alcoholic drinks, if not all that tasty, nor compelling in their own right. So many people in a relatively small space around the bar, that conversation was a bit challenging. Plenty of alternative distractions among the many "beautiful" folks who enjoy being the center of attention, and know how to do it right, especially when encouraged with beverage. With music playing in the background the experience was a mixed bag. Clearly, the plan is a bit over the top, and made for people with kids or those who like this glitterati experience. Yet, there was a full house that evening, and business was booming. Covid put an end to the crowds for the last year, but I suspect the club will be back in action full tilt come vaccinations and reduced mask wearing. I'm the more cautious type, and will wait a while before accepting my next invitation.
