It has lost much of its appeal over the last decade. They removed their sweet mini golf course in their play area in the basement which was a great part of family enjoyment and instead replaced it with arcade games. I wish they would bring back the mini golf and put the arcade games in the club room instead as a confined arcade room. Still easy to find and in the same proximity but not THE focus for families wanting to spend time together. Arcade games aren’t why families want to visit the Poconos. They chose to remove and not replace a beautiful mural in the pool area on the balcony wall. This old fashioned painting was always so lovely to see and would’ve been understandable if they had to redo it from mold but instead it’s just empty and sad. They’ve removed the billiards table and one of the ping pong tables. Luckily the two remaining aren’t always occupied. The staff is mostly great but over the years, there’s occasionally a few younger employees in the market (ice cream area) that are a little unpleasant/ short and even when it’s not busy in there seem a little annoyed to help. The ski hills look very run down from the road point of view, it looks like they’ve not been tended to in a decade. Maybe they did away with the skiing opportunity in winter but that’s also unfortunate… We used to be able to pick up beanbags outside for corn hole but were told this trip that they don’t leave it out except bring it out when they hold a corn hole activity that day. There used to be a large small human size chess board on the south lawn and that was removed as well

They offer some unique activities such as lawn bowling and the grand march which has always brought much excitement to our family. In the winter, they have indoor ice skating which is also great. They have a long list of activities for weekends, great but it stinks when 2-3 interesting activities are scheduled at the exact same time instead of spread over other hours where nothing is scheduled. Breakfast buffet is wonderful between their omelette station and their house made smoothies and overnight oats. We love the pools, the three options close together of full size, kid’s, and hot tub are great, and the outdoor pool being right outside there is fantastic. They offer tea, lemonade and cookies in the lobby for guests an hour each day, this is very cute. The lobby is enjoyable to spend time in and sit by the fire. The back porch offers nice views and the library bar is interesting and fun. We always look forward to the observation deck. They have a small gym near the pool and decent size locker rooms for pool and gym area. The inn has a pro shop which has a decent selection of items. The inn appears well-kept and very quiet which I believe is why some people choose to stay there- to be away from some business of the main lodge. The Lakeview restaurant at the inn is aesthetically pleasing and there is a small, nice rooftop area to enjoy. Unfortunately their menu rarely appeals to me and last time I tried something it was dry and not enjoyable. For the price, I am not sure it’s worth bothering to chance an entrees again but perhaps the appetizers and drinks will do. The Windsor Dining room has a few good options on the dinner menu. The Tap Room is nice to go and sit in or enjoy takeout but the burgers were burnt and overcooked when I ordered medium rare and there aren’t a lot of options that sound great but a few work. The gift shop downstairs is nice, but wish they had better options for adult and children’s clothing.

Would like a few different options for dining/more pictures of the menu items. Taproom could be improved.

Very scenic, clean, and so many things to do smile you are there

Expensive. Not many indoor activities for when weather is bad. Food was pricey and could have been better.

Beautiful atmosphere. Staff were extremely courteous, friendly, and knowledgeable, especially Robertus (valet) and Chris (history tour guide).

Enjoyed the stay at the resort. The associates at the front desk and the concierge are so warm and friendly. The highlights are two trails " Trout Stream Trail to Indian Ladder Falls" and "Woodland Wildlife Safari" guided by naturalist Rick Koval on both Saturday and Sunday. He is so knowledgeable that his accompany made us a lifelong memory of the Skytop visit. Definitely will recommend this resort to our friends.

The only thing that was unappealing was the outside temperature and wind. Not to worry tho, we had plenty to do and enjoyed the warmth within its walls.

We have visited Skytop for various events, but never stayed over. So glad we decided to actually stay for a weekend. The hotel has a variety of things for guests to do, according to your own schedule. This place goes way out of its way to insure your happiness during your stay. The Friday reception was amazing and delicious! Our room was comfortable and the bed was rejuvenating.

Would have liked to stay at the in. Instead of the cabins.

Coffee shop was very good . Fresh baked goods .

Stayed in November 2023

The room, while charming, may be too small for a party of three, and the provided additional mattress was not comfortable and it smelled old. My 5-year-old refused to sleep there.

Dinner: The dinner was good, and I enjoyed it. However, if you're travelling with little kids, you can find that the buffet can get quite expensive. Fortunately, there are several other cafes on the property that offer alternatives. Breakfast: I enjoyed the breakfast, but you wished there were more gluten-free, vegetarian, and wheat-free options available. Room: The room was excellent in terms of charm but a bit small for three people. I found the additional mattress provided by the hotel to be uncomfortable and smelling old. Overall, the hotel offers a pleasant dining experience, with room for improvement regarding meal options for specific dietary needs.

Our trip was perfect in every way! There was nothing they could have done better! The room could have a microwave.

The resort is gorgeous, the days are fun-Filled, with so many activities and amenities included in the price of your stay. The food is excellent with great options for kids. Rick, the head Naturalist is so engaging and knowledgeable. His waterfall hike is a must-do! The wibit on the lake is a great time!

Can't think of anything

Loved the butterfly garden,hiking with Rick, learning to play lawn bowling and roasting marshmallows by the fire pit. Making new friends. There was so much for you to experience, as well

Our particular room was smaller than expected. We did see other rooms and they were more spacious. However, it was still a great place!

Old fashioned bathroom, shower curtains just aren't a thing anymore. We did Buffet breakfast once, food not worth the money charged

Beautiful setting in nature, lovely big rooms and lots of outdoor things to do in the area.

Can be a little pricey as far as meals and drinks go.

Skytop is one of my favorite spots in Pa, maybe the whole country. The old school architecture and beauty of the 5500 acres is hard to beat.

Stayed in June 2023

everything was extra very little came with the what you paid for other than your room.

Everything was great, the bed was so comfortable, which is a big pet peeve of mine.
