Pocono couples resort renowned for honeymoon luxury
The Pocono .couples resorts have become
world known for . making honeymoon
dreams come true. Located in some of the
most scenic areas of the Pocono Mountains
in Pennsylvania, these resorts have grown

--The natural beauty of the`7'oeifoiios at-
tracted young co :les in love beginning in
the 1940s. In an a"ort to meet the special
needs of these people, several resorts were
built exclusively for honeymooners. Today
there are :.nine magnificent resorts in the
Pocono Mountains especially for couples.
After forty years of hosting couples only, the
Pocono honeymoon resort owners anticipate -
and create glamorous environments in
which love can grow.
Things never seem to remain the same for
very long at the Pocono couples resorts.
Although built originally for couples on their
honeymoon or in the first year of marriage,
the resorts have gradually opened to any
i
couple. Resort owners realized that what
they offered to people at the beginning of
married life could also help rekindle love in
a couple married many years or hello love

Then, in an attempt to create a special en-
vironment for young lovers, round beds and
mirrored walls and ceilings and opulent ac-
cessories were added. Next came heart -

each year some new form of luxury- is
discovered and included for the enjoyment
of couples in love.
As a result, couples who honeymoon in the
Poconos have an extensive array of suites
from which to choose. Beds are round, hex-
agonal or heart -shaped and can be pillared
or mirrored. Bathtubs, besides coming in

Even though the honeymoon suite is the
focal point of a couple's stay, the Pocono
couples resorts offer a myriad of activities
for lovers to enjoy together. Spring and
summer are an especially lovely time to
spend in the mountains. Warm days and
--coo1`nights entice couples to try the `many
outdoor sports that are available. Depen-
ding on the resort, couples can swim, golf,
play tennis, fish, water ski, bicycle, try ar-
chery or shuffleboard, go horseback riding,
join in a game of basketball or volleyball, or
try sailing, canoeing or paddleboating. In-
door sports arenas offer many of these same
activities during inclement weather, plus
racquetball, ping pong, roller skating and
miniature golf. Social directors are always
on hand to keep organized activities lively

many special events. Certain '"theme
nights" are arranged in which couples may
attend a western barbecue or Hawaiian
luau. Entertainment is available each night •
of the week and could include a comedian,
singer, magician or belly dancer.
One of the pleasures of honeymooning in
the Poconos is that one _price covers
everything. The charge that is quoted
basically covers the cost of the room,
breakfast and dinner daily, nightly enter-
tainment and all facilities. The only addi-
tional charges would be for cocktails, gifts
that may be purchased and certain sports
such as golf or horseback riding.

Travel suits go the distance
Brides are investing in softly tailored,
classic going away suits to provide a
backbone for their wardrobe in early married
life.
Diana, the Princess of Wales, has had
strong influence on their choices by wearing
elegant colourful suits instead of matronly
tailored styles.
The .unmatched suit - contrasting blazer
and skirt - is a versatile look for a going away
outfit. It can stretch a wardrobe after the
wedding by mixing and matching with other
separates. This concept has caught the fancy
of designers Oscar de la Renta, Ungaro and
Ralph Lauren, who mix textures and
patterns within a colour scheme. Many
mahafacturers offer unmatched suits in
linen, lightweight wool and nubby raw silk.
