Club Wyndham Shawnee Village - East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

Ravana C. Starks

Excellent location for a family vacation! There are indoor and outdoor pools, mini golf, walking trails, and so much more! The associates are also very friendly, knowledgeable and pleasant! The accommodations are fantastic, with a full kitchen, 2 1/2 baths, washer/dryer combo, eat in kitchen, screened back porch, jacuzzi in master suite and full living room! You could live here for weeks! So much more that I haven’t mentioned! Excellent facility, definitely worth checking out!!

I have been going here for a very long time. I love it. However recently they started switching out their wood burning fireplaces for electric ones. I really enjoyed having a fire while eating dinner or sitting down and watching a movie after the day was done. You could even sit on the porch and see the fire through the window. I have also been snowed in before with no power or heat. The fireplace helped but if they keep switching them to electric that won’t help when the power goes out. Other than that it’s a great place. I hope they reconsider switching the rest of the fireplaces out.

We were in an older building, but loved the king bedroom and bathrooms on each level. The view from our porch was absolutely beautiful, the grounds kept beautiful, and walking paths mowed between wildflowers and wooded edge. Beautiful barbeque area, covered with at least 6 picnic tables. We often prepare meals in, stove and refrigerator were fine, toaster, microwave, coffee pot, and cupboards were well stocked with dishes, glasses, silverware, pans & baking dishes. The restaurant on location was quite good! We enjoy and would recommend the French onion soup, quesadilla, burgers, Philly cheese steak and the wings. The service throughout the resort was very, very good, from front desks, housekeeping, minor maintenance repairs, wait staff at restaurant, anything you requested , the staff were quick to respond to, and so very helpful. We look forward to visiting again the end of summer, early September. Our thanks to everyone for making our stay so wonderful.

We booked our vacation late for the Poconos, maybe February or so, so we didn't have a lot of choices. I chose this despite some of the horrible reviews because there were still enough positive ones. I give it 3 stars, as it was unexceptional but nowhere near the disaster that some other reviewers apparently experienced.||||The rooms are a decent size. The furnishings are ordinary but comfortable. If you want modern this won't be it, but it's a place to crash so I didn't care too much about it. The unit was clean, no bugs in sight. The appliances looked old, but all worked. The washer/dryer stack looked newer and worked well.||||A nice feature is the screened-in patio, which is even screened from below, so no critters get in. We had one day of heavy rain, and it was nice to sit out there.||||The location is excellent, close to the highways, restaurants, shopping and activities.||||We made some use of the rec rooms, a good distraction when you're on the property. There's an indoor basketball court that's also used for volleyball.||We only used the pool once. Not sure why, some days were scorching hot, but we traveled with grandkids and did whatever they wanted.||||There's no snack bar/coffee shop kind of place for a quick bite. There's a truck by the pool that sells bbq-type food at reasonable prices.||||Parking wasn't a problem. Other reviewers complained about it, maybe they were in other sections. We were in Ridge Top.||||Housekeeping was responsive when we needed more sundries, like detergent, etc.

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.

We are WorldMark owners, we come here every year because my wife grew up with a traditional week timeshare and we have friends and family who gather here. I would not recommend this place for anyone but budget seekers. Lots of stairs is an issue for you.

We are harassed every time we stay here to attend a presentation, even when we tell them no. The villas are always dirty. The drains are slow and they do nothing to fix it. We had dirty towels and socks from a previous renter left this time, and we've found other things before. My wife scratched her hand on an improperly used screw in the drawers (see pictures)

Today we were treated to an hour of gas powered leaf blowing at 8am, right outside our bedroom. Maybe with better windows we wouldn't have been bothered so much. Bathroom vent is super loud and doesn't work. The kitchen task lighting is not attached properly (see pictures).

They have messed up our reservation before. The activities, which used to be good, are hardly attended anymore and poorly run. The gym is garbage and pool, air hockey and video games all cost money.

About the only good thing is the pool, but often there are rowdy, rude people who don't make it a fun experience.

See photos for what you will actually be getting not the promotional pictures.

This place was a great value. We got the villa and for the price it was loaded. Screened in porch. Full kitchen with all utensils and dishes. Best part? 3 bathrooms. Travelling with the wife and 2 kids that was worth it.

Rec center was a little rundown but it's obvious they are making improvements. Pools were clean. People, both staff and guests, were super nice and friendly.

And the location is great. There's so much to do within 20 minutes radius.

Definitely will be planning a second trip.

I had high hopes for a tranquil getaway at Club Wyndham Shawnee Village, but our experience was far from relaxing. The unit we stayed in was old, unkempt, and unclean. From the moment we stepped in, we were hit with a musty smell, most likely from the outdated, dirty rugs that reeked of mildew. The condition of the floors was appalling — they were so filthy and poorly maintained that I wouldn’t even allow my 3-year-old daughter to sit on them for her own safety.

The furniture was just as bad, uncomfortable, and stained, making it impossible to unwind. Instead of feeling like we were escaping to a peaceful retreat, it felt like we had taken a huge step backward from what we're accustomed to.

The walls were visibly dirty, with dust collecting in every corner and spiders making an appearance throughout the home. It was clear that cleanliness and upkeep are not priorities at this resort. Overall, this was a highly disappointing stay, and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking for a clean and comfortable vacation. We left feeling far from relaxed, and that’s not what a getaway should be.
