Honeymooning in the Poconos
In 1945, a soldier named Rudolf Von Hoevenberg opened the first

started a trend for many more honeymoon-type resort
entrepreneurs to open business and "couples only" resorts were
born. Costs of these resorts range from $250 to $600 per night.

entertainment. The most well known resort is Caesars Pocono
Resort.
Operating in the Poconos for the last 47 years, the entranceway
of Caesars has welcomed over 18,000 honeymoon couples. This

moment. Go sailing, or take a walk on one of the lovely beaches.
Have a romantic picnic in the park or by the lake. Whatever you
do, ensure that you get back to your love den just in time for
nightly entertainment, which some resorts include as part of
your all-inclusive package.
