Review of Woodloch Resort in the Poconos – with video

by GO GlobeHopper

This all-inclusive lakefront resort is located on Lake Teedyuskung in the Pocono Mountains, in the town of Hawley, Pennsylvania.

Woodloch Resort offers several accommodation options in varying sections of the massive property, ranging from basic wood-paneled rooms to multi-bedroom rental vacation homes with lake views. All rooms feature minifridges, TVs, free Wi-Fi, and tea and coffeemakers.  A rental home adds the convenience of a fully-equipped kitchen as well as outdoor space, including decks or porches.

Amenities include meals (depending on the vacation plan selected), a championship golf course, an upscale spa, and family-friendly entertainment. More than 30 activities are scheduled daily for guests, including archery tag, scavenger hunts, bingo, fitness classes, festivals and parties, pool games, and hayrides, as examples. Many of the activities are dependent on the season and local weather. Other on-site amenities include tennis courts, a fitness center, an indoor and outdoor pool, an indoor waterpark, waterskiing, bumper cars and go-karts, miniature golf, nature trails, and a climbing wall.  And that’s just a partial list!!
