Dec 22, 2024Comfortable And Spacious Family Accomodation
Lovely resort with comfortable and spacious accommodation. Amenities and activities for all ages and a big heated pool. Close to a selection of lovely restaurants. The pictures on the website are not a true reflection of the accommodation and I believe that some units can do with an upgrade. The showers have good water pressure, which is nice. I would suggest that you bring your own hairdryer. Fireplace in the unit not available to use either, but heating nice and cozy.

Dec 10, 2024Family Thanksgiving Vacation and Couple's Retreat
During our two week-vacation from November 24 to December 7, 2024, we had a wonderful time with family the Wednesday and Thursday of Thanksgiving Holiday. We found a John Martin's Smoked Turkey, cranberry sauce, hot and sweet sausage and all the ingredients for our son's Homemade Sausage and Apple stuffing at the Weiss Supermarket , East Stroudsburg Pennsylvania. We enjoyed a delicious-gourmet style Thanksgiving dinner with the Holiday eggnog to toast, reflect and be thankful for all the blessings that Almighty God had given us for 2024. After our family left to return to work in New Jersey, we spent a couple's retreat: a peaceful relaxing time at Wyndham Shawnee River Village II resort Unit R133 from November 30 to December 7. The Customer Service Staff was very helpful and considerate to allow us/senior citizens to remain in the same Unit for our second week of vacation. They allowed us to visit Guest Services and had our keys and wristband re-programmed for the 2nd-week of our vacation at the same Unit R133. They also arranged for housekeeping department to provide more toiletries, garbage bags, and dishwashing/laundry necessities. This resort is fully equipped Units needed, so all you have to do is being your luggage and grocery (if you wish to prepare meals) or visit the restaurants on-site or in the vicinity. We enjoyed having Italian dinners at Boscoe Restaurant on-site and at other local restaurants off-site like Alaskan Pete's. This resort is about 30 minutes drive to the Crossing Shopping Mall in Tannersville, where we enjoyed a day of pre-Christmas shopping at the 100+ outlet stores. We also enjoyed our walks on the grounds Shawnee Dupuy and The Fairway areas near the Shawnee Golf Course and Inn. We enjoyed bowling at the SkyLanes in East Stroudsburg 15 minutes from Shawnee) with a daily senior citizen's discount for three-games for two seniors for eighteen dollars. Check-out was an easy-process from the resort and could be done by text to the Customer Guest Services, who thanked us for staying with Wyndham Shawnee Resort by text-messages.

A couple days away from home
we reserved for one week, however, we had to leave after we stayed for 3 days. it's a quiet place in the mountains, there is a hiking trail by following the side of the properties. we had a nice walk with my little girl and my dog. The snow ski places hasn't open yet. there are several small water falls along 209, but we didn't get time to see.

The Good, the Bad and You Decide
Let's start with the positives: beds and pillows are super comfy. The remote in one room didn't work, but the one from the other bedroom did the job. The "condo" is nice, a bit dated but relatively comfortable. The screened in porch is great. Parking is easy. The kitchen came well stocked with newer pots/pans, corning ware, flatware, glasses and plates/bowls. If you want to bbq, bring charcoal and a lighter. There are stores very close by for various needs. There are two sofas, one is a sofa-bed and seems very old and look dirty. Upon lifting a cushion, we found leftover cookies and crumbs as well as some serious stains. I would not want to be sleeping on the pull out and was not overly comfortable sitting on them. On the negative side: I would hope in this day and age that there would be cans for recyclables as well as trash. The most important negative involves the pool. It is posted that there is no lifeguard and that adults are responsible for their children. True. However, there is only one life preserver that I could see at the shallow end against the stairs. While I was in the deeper end (6ft), a young lady about 11-12 yrs old was obviously drowning. Fortunately, I was able to grab ahold of her and get us both to the wall where I helped to boost her up to waiting hands. She was scared and upset, as were her grandparents. There was no life preserver nearby. There was no rope separating the deep end from the shallower section. That rope could have been the difference between her getting into 6 feet of water vs. 4 feet. There should be at least 4 life preservers, one at each side of the pool, as well as a life pole which would offer another way to help save a struggling swimmer or non-swimmer. Finally, if Wyndham would ease on the hard sell, it would be greatly appreciated. As an owner, I would be fine with updates via email. I realize this doesn't do the job of upselling, but as an adult, I am very capable of deciding for myself, with the proper information, whether or not I want to buy more points or upgrade. I don't need "free" gifts" that aren't really free, but hooks to entice you to spend more money. Respecting your owners would go a long way.

Aug 10, 2024Negative pool experienc
We came to enjoy time with our kids using the water amenities. I called before we came and asked if there was any issues with kids in the hot tub. They said no of course not. When we came one of the workers planted their chair right beside the tub and was basically carding everyone in there pointing to a sign that said you must be over 16 to use it. He made it his mission to make sure not one toe got in there if anyone that might be under 16. I understand the rule but the enforcement was over the top. It made me uncomfortable to have someone with a chair there watching everyone in the hot tub. Icouldn’t use it because my kids wanted to come over and talk and he wouldn’t even let them put their feet in since they were cold from the pool. I don’t need to be monitored when using a hot tub. The rules are posted. You don’t need to have a policeman there. I wouldn’t come back to the resort just for this reason.
