A Review of Popular Poconos Resorts
Where to stay before planning your vacation to the Poconos, will
be the first thing on your mind. Resorts offer the comfort of a
home away from home -- that's why so many people choose to stay
there.
The legacy of Poconos resorts commenced in 1945 when Rudolf Von
Hoevenberg opened "The Farm on the Hill," a resort for
honeymooners. Soon, other honeymoon resort owners followed and
by the 1950's, resorts in the Poconos became a lucrative
business. There are so many resorts to choose from that one
would have to make their decision carefully to ensure that it
caters to the needs of all involved.
Resorts at the Poconos are available for both family and couples
only. For couples, resorts like Caesar's Resorts and Paradise
Stream are just some of the places that are poised to make your
stay a memorable one. Families on the other hand can put
together reunions at one of these family-oriented resorts:
