We spent part of the next morning at the rope/zip lines course, which was great. The center play structure had 3 slides, with the top one requiring 48 height, which seems high for a kiddie play structure. Wrapped around the corner and we arrived at 2, check in is at 4 but you can use the park by 12 pm if you arrive early. The staff needs better training, they give you absolutely no information.

Fun for the entire family, but service is lacking. They don't offer as much privacy as the ones at Camelback. The lifeguards at the Flowrider were much better at Kalahari. Bathrooms were clean and the food court inside the waterpark was fast and fairly tasty (basic fast food style). Kalahari had really nice lifeguards that helped you if you needed it, and they used the clock every time to give everyone a fair turn.There seemed to be fewer lifeguards working the waterpark than at Kalahari. They eventually ripped the net and climbed out from a very high slide. Kassie R, Social Media Coordinator at Kalahari Resorts & Conventions - Poconos, responded to this review. The 79,000 sq.

At Camelback you are allowed one new towel per person. We were told to wait there and they would send someone. So we ended up in the end paying $125 for a $50 arcade card and ok pizza. I apologize for the experience your daughter had as this certainly is not the Kalahari experience we want anyone to have. Their is also a balcony facing the trees and highway. Unlike Camelback, Just came back from our Labor Day weekend visit to Kalahari and it was very good. One side of the hotel has beautiful views of the mountain. Rooms were fine, a bit dusty.

Camelback also has their mountain roller coaster.The indoor water park is nice. Why are there no signs? Seriously, one of the best suites for a family of 6!

The bunk bed rooms are Camelback are much better than the ones at Kalahari, at a similar additional cost. Total ride time is about 5-7 minutes, and that includes the 4-5 minute ride up to the top (on the ski lift for the slide, on the coaster car for the mountain coaster). Its about a 5-10 minute walk from the hotel on the mountain. Yes, the girl working the slide should of known better, but human error should be accounted for when children's safety is at concern. They give an email and you are done. There are more food choices at Kalahari, but IME, overall food quality is better at Camelback. > Kalahari, Do you want to ski during your trip and your kids are above 42 barefoot?

Plus counter service restaurants by the arcade and water park. We returned to the room at 3:00pm, only to find the room as we left it - not cleaned. At least at Kalahari, you get a free sugar cookie to decorate at 3:00 and some family games and a coloring contest.
