COVE HAVEN RESORT PLUS

Some have carpeted areas and older, plastic shower stalls. Some bathrooms are partially exposed with glass walk-in showers for two, while others would be considered more traditional affairs if not for the addition of the red or pink heart-shaped tubs. Wi-Fi is included in the daily resort fee, as is filtered water. More expensive suites have private plunge pools, dry saunas, and star-light ceilings.

On top of an apparent lack of maintenance, poor housekeeping seems to be another big issue here.Īll suites have heart-shaped whirlpool tubsfor two, plus split-level sitting areas that have log-burning fireplaces, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers with free coffee. Visible damage and mold are not rare sights in furniture and mini-fridges, and carpets are stained and frayed. All but entry-level Cove Haven Harbour Suites and Cove Fantasy units received some updates in 2019 (new carpet, fresh layers of paint), but rooms still feel dated and worn overall. Pastel wallpaper and stained carpets are the norm, with different themes presenting varying palettes and furniture to match. All rooms haveround king beds with a copious number of mirrors, many on the ceiling.

Room themes vary from kitschy - think: rose-tinted walls and mirrored headboards - to outrageous elements that attempt to create a romantic atmosphere, including a seven-foot-tall Champagne whirlpool in the Champagne Tower Suite. However, the grounds are sprawling, and crowds are generally not an issue - except in the pool, which can get packed in peak season.Ĭove Haven Resort Poconos has 225 suites spread over several low buildings. The hotel offers plenty of things to do on-site, from boating and ice skating to snow shoeing and fishing, and guests rarely leave the premises. The vibe is quiet during the week and a little bit busier on weekends, with couples mostly from New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania driving there for a quick, romantic getaway in a natural setting. The grounds are pretty and there's some kitschy charm to the rose-tinted decor, but some guests find that even a friendly staff can't always make up for the hotel’s shortcomings. The result is an aging museum of ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s furnishings combined with mirrored surfaces and pastel-colored wallpaper. Opened in 1958, the sprawling lakeside camp composed of multiple buildings appears to have been given updates every decade since its founding, but each time the property has kept something from the previous decade's additions. A sign in the resort declares 'Love lives here,' but so does some noticeable wear.
