Tanglewood Resort

An August 2005 trip to Poconos by milefort

This place wasn't clean, amenities were not really on-site, and I would not recommend it under any condition. There was a mold and mildew problem. I left early because my family members were getting sick in the unhealthy conditions. The description states indoor and outdoor pool, as well as health club facilities, on-site, but they were 7 miles away!

This was the worst timeshare condo we have stayed at in 20 years. The unit was not clean, and we had to call a cleaning crew as well as maintenance to fix sliders that took two people to open and close, which still didn't work correctly afterwards. Sliders on the second floor were so damaged with condensation/white unidentified substance that you couldn't see out of them. There was mold and mildew throughout the place inside as well as outside. Food was stuck on the pots and pans as well as dishes. The air-conditioner filters were so clogged with dust and mildew that we couldn't run them.

The catalog says that there is an indoor and outdoor pool and health-club facilities on-site, but they are 7 MILES away at a sister resort that didn't look much better. I don't consider 7 miles to be on-site. The recreation center also had a mold and mildew problem. Because of these problems, we ended up leaving, as two grandchildren and two adults out of the six of us there ended up sick. It was VERY shabby overall and should not be part of the RCI system. We thought that it would be the same caliber of condos that we have had in the past 20 years, but this was by far a budget condo, and we are not used to this type of accommodation.
