Resort fee
Split Rock Resort & Golf Club feels
like its bursting at the seams of its 1,200 acre mountain enclave with the
sheer amount of activities available. A sandy beach adds allure to Harmony
Lake, where guests can relax or dive into water sports. Kids love the indoor
water park and parents enjoy the spa and 27 holes of golf. Also on hand
are a movie theater, a bowling alley, and an ice cream parlor, but many facilities
require extra fees. Rooms vary widely in amenities, some with older features,
though the resort is in process of being updated, with a finish date in 2016. For now, this is a two-and-a-half pearl property, but the completed renovation should bring this property up to a solid upper-mid-range property.

Scene
Family-friendly water park and golf retreat
Hidden away within the picturesque
Pocono Mountains, Split Rock Resort & Golf Club is a
family-oriented escape whose beautiful sunsets on Lake Harmony rival its
man-made attractions. Whitetail deer roam the grounds and the property’s country
decor can be seen as a passable attempt at matching its interior spaces with
natural settings. The lobby is flanked by an expansive,
lodge-style sitting area with patterned marooned carpeting and lots of seating.
Location
Isolated mountain resort in Lake Harmony; other locales accessible by car
Deep in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains -- known for camping, hiking, and numerous ski areas -- the Split Rock is on private
grounds along Lake Harmony. While the property feels completely secluded,
it's convenient to I-80 and I-476 and not too far from several
destinations, including Jack Frost Big Boulder Ski Area (a 10-minute drive
northwest) and several state parks. The Crossings Premium Outlet mall is
about a 30-minute drive to the east, while Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International
Airport is about 35-40 minutes north.
Rooms
Large variety of rooms, many with full kitchens
The resort features more than 500 rooms
styled in country decor, offering almost a dozen different types ranging from
traditional rooms to villas and lodges overlooking Lake Harmony. Many guest
units have kitchenettes or full kitchens, and adjoining rooms can be combined
to hold big family groups. Pricier rooms have fireplaces, whirlpools, and
balconies. Some furnishings are outdated (especially in the galleria building),
where decrepit appliances and tube-style TVs can be found in rooms that have
yet to be modernized. Contemporary bathrooms have standard walk-in showers,
with many rooms offering separate whirlpool tubs.
Features
Water park, golf course, indoor entertainment complex, and full spa
Between the property’s natural setting and massive
indoor facilities, leisure activities abound at the Split Rock. The indoor
water park has tube rides, wave pools, and huge waterslides that loop outside
of the building before plunging back indoors into the cavernous children's
paradise. A swimming pool and seasonal outdoor pool are also on hand, and the
lake itself is available for other water-based fun like fishing and boating.The sprawling grounds
are home to 27 holes of championship golf as well as an 18-hole mini-golf
course. Other sporting facilities include indoor and outdoor tennis courts,
racquetball, archery, bocce ball, and volleyball. For less strenuous fun, guests can avail themselves of the on-site movie theater, video arcade, and eight-lane
bowling alley. Even more relaxing is the massage center and spa with steam
rooms and a salon. The fitness center is well-equipped with treadmills,
cardio bikes, and elliptical cross trainers, and also offers water aerobics
classes. All facilities are open to the public and most require extra fees or
day passes. Dining options
include Bel'lago Ristorante, which serves traditional Italian standards with a
long wine list, as well as a more casual cafe with pizza and sandwiches. The Split
Rock Grille offers a daily breakfast and Thirsty Moose Saloon
has occasional live music shows. The ice cream parlor is always
a hit.
