Paradise Stream Resort is the most conveniently located of three couples-only resorts owned by Cove Haven in the Poconos region, though it has fewer amenities than its sister properties. It's otherwise similar in terms of the 144 love-nest-style Suites, designed to ignite passion with wood-burning fireplaces and iconic heart-shaped or Champagne tower whirlpool baths -- though aging decor and stained carpets may be a turnoff. All-inclusive packages are on offer, though the fare at both Spooner’s Cafe and the Paradise Stream Restaurant won’t impress foodies and there's a daily resort fee. Lovebirds can pick from numerous outdoor activities on the private lake. Indoors, there’s a year-round pool, gym, and full-service spa. As a less retro alternative with modern facilities and a casino, try the nearby Mount Airy Casino Resort.

This two-pearl Comfort Inn & Suite is in the middle of the Poconos and drives to most area attractions, like the Camelback ski area, are relatively easy. In spite of their simplicity, the 65 rooms are spacious and comfortable, and some are equipped with bunk beds for kids and others with private indoor hot tubs. We did spot some wear and tear, as well as dated furniture and old tube TVs in some rooms. Features include an indoor pool, fitness room, and game room, and the hot breakfast buffet is free. For slightly nicer rooms and features like a playground, travelers may want to consider the less-expensive Baymont Inn & Suites, which is about 20 minutes away and closer to Stroudsburg.
