WILKINS INTRODUCES THE 7-FOOT-TALL CHAMPAGNE GLASS WHIRLPOOL BATH-FOR-TWO AT COVE HAVEN RESORT

After launching the champagne glass suite, interest in the accommodation became so great that potential guests have to register on a one year reservations waiting list.

The suites are currently available at all three Pocono Mountain Resorts properties.

Caesars Pocono Resorts changed its name to Cove Pocono Resorts

The decision to change the name was done for a simple reason—the original Cove Haven Resort was the name that started it all, for the region and the company over 50 years ago.
