Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Our room was impeccably clean and well supplied. The beds were very comfortable. There are plenty of places to dine on the premises. Military discount available. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Nothing in the Poconos compares regarding hotel accommodations and, best of all, a sensational waterpark is included. From now on, for family fun, Kalahari Poconos will definitely be our go to place.

Hotel's Favourite
Spent two nights here with my son, my friend, and my friend’s daughter. Kids were 6 and 7. Was perfect for this age group! I was a little nervous reading some of the recent reviews, but I’ve concluded that maybe some people are just too hard to please because we had an awesome stay. It’s great as the weather gets cold since you park and literally never have to leave the premises. Room: Stayed in a 2 bedroom with living room suite which was clean and spacious. Allowed for the kids to go to bed and my friend and I to unwind in the living room at the end of the day. Rooms were quiet and beds were comfortable despite other reviews. Food: Great Karoo buffet had tons of options and was good value for the cost. Had several egg scramble options that had fresh eggs, not the powdered, fake stuff. Also tons of breakfast burritos, quesadillas, breakfast sandwiches, French toast, pancakes, eggs Benedict, meats, etc. Really good quality for the price. Food at the waterpark was what one would expect. Hot dogs, burgers, pizza, etc. The only meal that was a little below expected was the Wisconsin Brew Pub. Most of the beers were out of stock and the food was average. That said, it was acceptable and my 6 year old LOVED his milkshake. Waterpark: Tons of slides and play areas. Loved that the indoo/outdoor hot tub is open even in the off season. Water rollercoaster was a big hit with the kids. Everything seemed very clean and staff were all attentive. It was easy to get a table and there was no shortage of inner tubes. Most of the raft slides didn’t require you carry the raft up the stairs and had conveyer belts delivering the raft to the top. Tom Foolery’s: We opted for the wristbands which included the rides, climbing walls, ropes course, zip line, dark ride, and laser tag. The kids had as much, if not more, fun than at the waterpark. The arcade is pricey and it’s definitely easy to burn through money there though. Service: Check in lines were super long. Took 30 min to check in despite 8-10 people at front desk. That said, after that, they have a text messaging platform that can be used for service and it was very convenient. Responses were quick. Overall, we had a great time and my son already can’t wait to go back!

Everyone was friendly. Good customer service. Quick service food was good and good variety. The Kalahari is dear to my heart. I have been going there for many years, this was one of the best trips. Water slides fun. Outdoor/indoor pools relaxing. It was a little hard mid day to get an inner tube. But it was manageable. There is some construction going on but all the slides were open, including master blaster!

Room and resort were nice. Huge parking lot. Plenty of things close; gas stations, restaurants, etc. the rooms were large with 2 Q and a large sitting area with a window looking down on the main entry. Room had a mini fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Maid daily if you wanted. Bathroom (tub, shower, toilet) was separate from the sink and had plenty of towels. Had a line to dry suits, etc. Sink in living area was odd as the soap dispenser was at one end while sink was at the other so you dripped your soap on your toiletries and the coffee maker. Odd. Also there was no desk to work at I guess because it is a play resort but they have a conference center so…… Room needs some updating-more outlets, usb chargers,etc. plenty of restaurants inside resort so you don’t have to leave.

This was my first visit to Kalahari-Dells. The purpose of the stay was a youth hockey tournament. My favorite aspects of the stay were food and entertainment selection. I was very pleased with the room, and amenities. The facility overall was friendly to energetic kiddos. The one drawback was finding a location in the evening for adults to chill and converse. Security had our group move a few times, even though we were quiet.

Vomit in the hallway, very disgruntled employees, completely unnecessary, very loud machinery in the middle of the night until two in the morning. No one at the front desks, they expect automated kiosks to take the place a person handing out room keys! We had specific room requests which we confirmed on three different occasions and were told that they could accommodate these requests, they did not. We were told in person, at check-in that our room was in fact what we asked for, it was not. We had to complain, then had to move everything to an appropriate room on the other side of the resort. Rooms are not as advertised. Travelers beware!

Go to wilderness! Skip kalahari! We’ve been going to wilderness for yrs and decided to try kalahari. It was 3x the price, less water slides, terrible rooms with no kitchens and not worth it. Wilderness resort has better/more exciting slides and great set up for families at a good price.

I stayed in a room in the Sands building on the Kalahari resort. There is a waterpark, amusement park, restaraunts and many shops. All those are in the main building. The room was great and the walls were kinda thin but ok enough. Some of the waterslides were closed for some reason but most of them were open. The wait times were ~3-10 mins depending on the slide and all of them were at least decent . The amusement park was a 15 min walk there and had an arcade, some rides, laser tag, go karts, and a ropes course. It was about as crowded as the waterpark. We didn't buy any food but there is a store 10 mins down the highway.

We had a great time and there is a lot to do there. Our room was a far walk from the water park and the room was a little outdated. But it is a fun place with a lot to do. I would go back if the prices were a little lower.
