Who wants to go on a "romantic" getaway with me?

[gozf]

I just saw a Groupon for some crazy resort in the Poconos, and it's all-inclusive (lol), and if you book the CHAMPAGNE TOWER, you have your own personal, indoor, heated, heart-shaped pool.  And a hot tub.  And a sauna.  And it looks really, really funny.

So, clearly, I'm jazzed and I message Thor and I'm all, "CHAMPAGNE TOWER, MOTHERFUCKER!!!" 

He responded with an ellipsis.  I think he has developed an allergy to fun.

Screw that guy.  Who wants to come with me?

That actually sounds amazing.

Someone on CE&P took her honeymoon there. Her husband planned it. She has the funniest stories. I wish I could remember who it was.....

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

We went there for our honeymoon, lol. I'll go.

I'll contract an STD for a good story.  Wouldn't be the first time.  I have insurance.  No big deal!

omg, I really want to go.  He REALLY does not seem into it.  I'm trying to sell him on the "food is included" aspect.

[jojoandleo]

Man, I need a vacation. I would totally get naked in that heart-shaped hot tub with you.

[polka]

Haha!  Now, I'm picturing you over there like this:




And Thor like this:

We stayed in one that was completely blue.  The first one was dirty and I had a fit.  You walk in to the top level (it was a three-story tube), and there was glass floor and a fireplace (I would later get drunk and have a full blown anxiety attack when Jason tried to make me walk over the floor, where you could see the pool below).  On the next level down was the giant circle bed with mirrored headboard, and a heart-shaped whirlpool, and a private deck overlooking the lake (that was actually really nice, and pretty).  The last level down contained the private pool and sauna.  It was all blue, I said.  Everything.
It was...special.  We spent all our time in the pool, out on the deck, or in the game room.  We also went on a horseback ride through the  mountains.
We had to eat with other people, most of whom were in matching Hawaiian clothes.

Sounds amazing!

I cannot believe he's being a shit about this. I am the fancier one, of the two of us. I'm not even fancy, but I'm fancier!

I seriously think this has the potential to be the funniest 24 hours of our lives. If it's hideous, it'll still be fun. If it's passable, I'll be delighted. I dunno. We never go anywhere, and this is close, and it looks like a guaranteed riot.

OMG. I wanna make DH go lol.

I couldn't persuade him to do the alpaca farm bed and breakfast, so my guess is that this will be a miss, too.

I want to go on an alpaca vacation, too!

[jerseygrl]

LOL they show the commercial for that place on tv all the time.  Their line is

"Just because our rooms have a pool doesn't mean you have to pack a bathing suit"

Ew. I don't want to think of other naked people in my in-room private pool befor going there

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

OH OH OH also

There's a swimming pool with a stone waterfall. On top of the waterfall is a gigantic hot tub, and mirrors everywhere. We had sex all over that thing. Then when we were done we realized some old fat guy had been in the glass-roomed sauna watching.

I'm just taking you, ok?

[wildfloweragain]

We went there for a mini-moon. We got married in the fall and I couldn't get time off work until the summer, so we went for something like 2 nights.

We had a (rectangular) pool, sauna and fireplace. No glass floor. Hmm, that would make for some interesting honeymoon pictures...


H was freaked out about having to eat with other people. I was more freaked out that they thought asking for brown sugar with my oatmeal was strange.

We did the horse ride, too! And they have (had?) an ice skating rink.

There's fun to be had.

And (bonus) STDs to catch:)

[luckyval]

I want to fulfill my Dita Von Teese fantasy here - You must take me with you!!!

Seeing as I would LOVE to stay at the Madonna Inn someday, consider me game! By the way,I thought they closed that resort or maybe it has new ownership. I remember Mt Airy Lodge having a similar champagne tub deal.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

I am thur.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

I'm trying to find a picture of the pool. No dice so far, but I can't let this go unseen.


I have pictures of us being dumb and moon-eyed in front of this sign somewhere.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

This is as close as I can find. The black stone in the background is where the hot tub is. The picture is of the viewpoint of the door to the sauna, I believe.

Bridal catalogs used to be FULL of ads for this place. I've always wanted to go.

There was always a picture of a couple feeding each other something romantic in the champagne tower.

[vicky]

Meeee! Lets go! Seriously!!

Dude, I've stayed there.  It's so trippy.  I love that place!

I had the room that was completely carved out of rock the last time I was there.  I've got to find those pictures, it was hysterical!

With the rock shower?? I am so jealous.
