The Land of Love is a three resort complex owned by Cove Haven Entertainment Resorts in Marshalls Creek, Pennsylvania. The Pocono Mountains. The complex includes three different resort hotels, Cove Haven, Paradise Stream, and their pinnacle hotel, Pocono Palace.

#2 The Pocono's Were Once Home To Over 275 Honeymoon Destinations

The Pocono Palace neat-o couples resort that boasts honeymoon suites with 7-foot champagne glass whirlpool baths overlooking glass heart-shaped pools. That's right, you could spend that romantic vacation, or honeymoon, which usually only happens once in your whole entire life here!

#3 The Pink Champagne Baths Are Total Kitsch

Now I'm not entirely sure whether I want to throw up in that pink champagne glass bath or have a grand ole' time in it but one thing is for sure, you don't see that everyday, at least not since the seventies.

#4 Morris Wilkins Designed The Tubs And Started The Pocono Mountains Resorts In The 1960's

Mr. Morris Wilkins, a former electrician and submariner, who opened one of the first Poconos hotels, actually designed the champagne flute tub himself and was even granted a patent on it. His designs are clearly from the 1960's and 70's, romantic and beautiful, yet somewhat outdated.

It was said that "Morris Wilkins has done more for romance than a box of chocolates."

#5 The Champagne Tower Suites Are 4 Stories Tall

Why is it called the Champagne Tower Suite? Yep, that is a 7-foot tall champagne glass whirlpool bath-for-two! The rooms are 4 levels and not only included the champagne glass whirlpool bath, but also a heart shaped sauna, fireplace, round king-size bed with celestial ceiling, and a heart shaped mini pool for two.

#6 Not In The Mood To Climb In To A Champagne Flute?

The rooms also have a heart shaped ... everything! A heart shaped bed, a hear shaped sauna, spa, and even mini heart shaped pool can be seen in every hotel room. The rooms all have different 'themes' that are pure throwbacks to a more romantic time.

#7 The Roman Tower Suite

We're looking at the Roman Tower suite, "Cove Haven Entertainment Resorts' ultimate triumph and most luxurious accommodation designed in a Grand Roman theme with floor to ceiling columns, stunning arches, vaulted ceilings " blah blah blah.

#8 The Cleopatra Champagne Tower

If you think the Roman theme is a little passé for your taste however, you could opt for the way less tacky Egyptian-themed Cleopatra Champagne Tower suites, complete with "cozy log-burning fireplace".

Or perhaps the Garden of Eden Apple suits is more to your taste, complete with heart-shaped whirlpool. (Mr. Morris Wilkins also designed the heart-shaped tub but failed to get a patent on it. It proceeded to become a fixture of hotel love nests everywhere, from Niagra falls to San Francisco).

#9 The Last Of A Dying Destination

Cove Haven is actually one of the last remaining Poconos resorts. Many are now abandoned, leaving behind empty heart-shaped tubs that once lured honeymooners when kitschy and sexy went hand in hand. At one time in the middle to late 70's, there were over 275 romantic getaway hotels in the Pocono Mountain area, but today only a handful remain.

#10 Join The Forever Lovers Club

If you stay more than three times at the Pocono Palace or any of it's sister resorts, you can automatically become a member of the Forever Lovers Club because ‘great love deserves great rewards' (such as bath time in a 7-foot champagne glass).

So if you're in to mid 70's kitsch then check out the resort in the middle of Pennsylvania. The resorts are all couples only, and no kids are allowed. Your room has it's own private bar, so get relaxed and get ready to soothe in the pink champagne.
