![]() The cabana TVs needed to be reliable and hold up to the humidity around the waterpark. “We wanted to provide a high-quality TV viewing experience so families and friends could lounge there all day and enjoy the food and beverages.” “We have waterpark cabanas for daily rental,” says Cary Brandt, corporate creative director of entertainment at Kalahari. Kalahari also needed to expand digital engagement beyond the hotel room and into the resort’s entertainment areas to help drive F&B and other revenue streams. They also wanted easier menu navigation that they are already familiar with on their home TVs.” “Our guests needed to connect their own devices to watch content on the TVs. “We saw that traditional in-room programing was going the way of the old traditional room phones, which few people use anymore,” says Greg Gogola, Kalahari corporate director of IT. When Kalahari began planning the design of its new Pocono Mountains resort, company experts studied the trends in guest usage and preferences for inroom entertainment. When phase two is completed, the property will have nearly 1,000 guest rooms and will be the largest indoor waterpark in the United States. Families can take a break from all the water fun and relax in private pool-side cabanas. Accommodations range from two-room family suites to two-story standalone buildings equipped with five bedrooms, a recreation room, full bar and nine TVs.Īccording to Condé Nast Traveler magazine, Kalahari operates “the world’s coolest indoor waterparks.” The Pocono Mountains property has a massive 100,000-square-foot indoor waterpark with a retractable roof, a lazy river, and dozens of water slides. The Pocono Mountains resort is the latest addition to the Kalahari portfolio with 457 guest rooms and suites. Named after the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa, the resort’s namesake theme is applied throughout its guest rooms, indoor waterparks, restaurants, bars, and spas. Kalahari Resorts owns and operates Africa-themed properties in family vacation hotspots including Wisconsin Dells, Sandusky, Ohio and Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.
