Welcome
Good day and welcome to my blog. I am Sam Arnett, Director of Resort Operations for Vacation Charters, LTD, parent company of Split Rock Resort and Golf Club.
I opened this blog to provide our guests (past, present and future) with a clear line of communication to the upper management of the resort. I am here to listen and help.
Let’s Talk!

I am looking to bring my daughter’s God Parents and their families to split rock to celebrate my daughters 11th birthday. This will consist of three different families. So you have any discounts. Being a Single mother on a fix income its difficult to get a few thousand dollars for a 3 day weekend. I called for Feb 17 until the 19th. That is leaving on the 19th,
Any help you could offer me would be appreciated.
Thank you
Please forward your confirmation and I will look after your reservation personally. You can expect a good vacation experience at a family resort that has more amenities than any other property in the Northeast. Forward the confirmation number to sam.arnett@splitrockresort.com.
Thank you for Talking2Me.

Ilana
We are looking into some type of coat check system. Will let you know what we come up with.
Thank you for Talaking2Me.
Sam Arnett
What would you like me to do for you?
Sam Arnett
The daily activity sheet is on our website http://www.splitrockresort.com.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
We do sell discount vouchers to Jack Frost and Big Boulder. They are availabel at the Galleria front office. Since there is no snow, the dog sleds are not running. They will be out as soon as the ground is covered. The bowling alley and arcade is now open.
Look forward to your arrival.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
It will be mailed to you.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
There is no impact on daily operations. The maintenance fees have increased because the cost of maintaining the facility has increased.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
Please call our reservations office at 800-255-7625 and they will help you locate suitable accommodations.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
We are coming down to Split rock this weekend 1/15-22. I was wondering if the resort offers discount ticket for jack =frost/big boulder? I was wondering if you are doing the dog sledding as you did last year. I sure that will depend on the weather if you have it. Please let me know. We are looking forward to a nice week. Oh….did the bowling alley open yet?
sincerly John Manfredo
I was unable to get ski passes from the office for Friday skiing. We called weeks in advance, got your discounted ticket information, decided to purchase from you instead of our township that also had discounted tickets, and was very disappointed that tickets were not available when I arrived. I had to pay full price at the mountain. What can you do for me?
How about a coat check that runs from 9am till Midnight at a cot say $2.00 per coat, bag, boots etc
The rooms are basically the same; a one bedroom suite with kitchen, dining area, living room, bed room and bath with whirlpool tub. Each unit can sleep four.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
I have passed your comments along to our slaes staff.
I will contact you directly by email with some other information.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
Thank you for Talking2Me.

No snow and 40 plus degrees. Ski areas do have a good base of man made snow.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
Excellent idea and we will work on it. Thank you so much.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
There is no particular reason the festival is no longer held on the last weekend in June. Sometimes dates are moved to accommodate other functions or happenings in the area.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
We are aware of the doors. We are obtaining bids to replace the entrance doors to the Galleria lobby and it is on our capital replacement list for the year. The movie theater doors will be repaired when the parts ordered have been received.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
There is no snow so there are no sleigh rides at the present time. I am not sure where carraige and sleigh rides are in the area and suggest you visit http://www.800poconos.com for information.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
I am sorry but we do not allow pets. There are several kennels in the area that offer boarding service. If you are interested please let me know.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
I am very happy you enjoyed your time with us. We ask all of our time share guests to leave the unit kitchen as they found it so far as china, glass, flatware and utensils are concerned. This is a common practice at many time share resorts in an effort to keep maintenance fees as low as possible. I am sorry you were offended as that was not the intent.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
Ask for me at the Galleria front desk and I will help you.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett

I apologize for the noise caused by the Teen Retreat. We sent Public Safety up to talk to the people in charge and that helped reduce the noise somewhat. At the time you made your reservation we should have advised you of the group and for some reason failed to do so. I will talk to our Rooms Division Manager to make sure this does not happen again. Contact me at sam.arnett@splitrockresort.com with you mailing address and remind me of this note and I will forward a gift certificate for a complimentary nights stay.

Please forward your confirmation number to sam.arnett@splitrockresort.com and I will personally go through your unit to make sure it will suit your needs. The heating units are through the wall like a hotel room but do not make enough noise to keep you awake. We use hot water extraction to clean carpets and not harsh chemicals. Your room will be clean and warm.
Thak you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
What a great idea to have this blog! Our family is coming for the first time (all 11 of us) and includes 3 families for a total of 6 adults, a 9 year old, a 6 year old, a 2 and a 1 year old and a newborn (3weeks old.) We have been able to get most of our questions answered for our trip from 12/22 until 12/27/11.
We are all staying in the slope side queen with kitchenette and sofa bed. I am concerned about the heating units in these rooms.
It is difficult to sleep with noisy wall units that are blowing out lots of dry hot air. Also with our newborn we just want to make sure the rooms are warm enough and so clean. I am not sure if
these are legitimate concerns, but that is what worries me for today. Also are there rugs in the rooms and do they have a harsh smell from the cleaning agent used. These are issues that I have read from past visitors and I just wanted to see if they still existed..Thanks a bunch
My wife and I were last there for New Years back in 2000.
This time we’re bringing our kids with us…
What activities will be available at that time for us and them (aged 4, 12, 14). We are excited about the new waterpark, but what else can we do fairly inexpensively. Any thoughts or any fun ideas for my bday (43).
Thanks
Elliot and Donna Chalef

Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving. We are going to be nearby “The Rock” during the New Years Eve weekend and we were thinkinking about driving over with a few friends for the Eve party. Do you have the prices for the dinner and party and the just party specials? I picked up the brochure before we left but I misplaced it and your New Years web page doesn’t mention those options. Thanks Sam.
I rented a time share at SR Galeria from 2005-2008 for my family of 4. I am going back x mas week and staying in a hotel room (slopeside suite) at Galeria. Can you tell me if there is a dif in the room. The reviews I have read online have me alittle concerned. Thanks
My family would like to stay at the resort and visit the waterpark. The last time we stayed at split resort the waterpark was in the development stage. We are aiming to stay the weekend before Christmas. Where can I go to get a discount on the water park tickets? Thanks
Thanks
Laura
Thank you for the very kind words; we are all really happy you enjoyed your time with us and look forward to seeing you again. We are looking at the Jacuzzi and will have the hot water problem taken care of. We also talked to the cook about the burned pizza and I do not think that will happen again. Please forward your mailing address to sam.arnett@splitrockresort.com and I will forward a discount certificate for your wife to use when she visits for the “Girls Weekend”. Again, thank you, we apprecaite your business.
Thank you for Talking2Me.

Sam Arnett
It is wifi. The fitness center has treadmills, free weights, a universal and all kinds of equipment sepcific to what you want to work on. Sorry that I don’t know much about this and can only provid a general description. I do know that guests like the new center and additional equipment. I will ask the supervisor of the area to get back to you with a more complete description.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
Thanks for staying at Split Rock, we apprecaite your business and look forward to seeing you again. The cookies were great.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
Sorry it took me so long to say thanks for another great week at SR. The Activities and Band were great. I really missed Karaoke not being on the schedual. I hope it cames a comback before we book again. We hope to be up durring the winter months and during Spring break. Take care and again thank you and thank Doc and everyone for everything,
A few of our units have twin beds in one of the bedrooms. However almost all of our units are two bedroom units or single room hotel type rooms. If you would like to reserve a unit with twins in one of the bedrooms, you should maker your reservation quickly.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
Please let me know if you will be going to the water park and what other amenities you plan on using. I will do my best to see that you do not have to wait in line for any activity or amenity. We are crowded on Memorial Day weekend but lines are usually short. If you ask for me at the Galleria front desk when you check in and remind me of this conversation, I will make every effort to see that you and your family are taken care of.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
Internet is working and the fitness center is open.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
There should be more than enough luggage carts available. If you run into a shortage, ask the front desk to locate one for you. Friday is the better check in day.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
You are welcome.
Sam Arnett
Doc Holiday always has a full schedule of activities over the holiday period. His agenda will be on our website the week before Christmas (www.splitrockresort.com).
There are hospitals in Wilks Barre, Palmerton, Lehighton, Hazleton and Stroudsburg with the majority being 20 – 25 minutes away.
Thak you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
Plan to visit Dec 1-8, 2011. Just checking to see if internet is available at the resort and is the excercise facility open? Thanks Kirk
If our Owner Services office cannot place you where you want to go, contact me at sam.arnett@splitrockresort with your confirmation number and I will try my best to help you.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
You are right as I was not at the dining room when you were served. Again, I am very sorry and would like to send you a certificate so you can try us again. Everyone has an off night and the food and service is usually very good at Bel’lago. Please forward a mailing address to sam.arnett@splitrockresort.com.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
There is a package available. Please contact our reservations office at 800-255-7625 for additional information.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
There are and you can see them on our web site http://www.splitrockresort.com.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
We try to keep the targets up until frost becomes a problem. If the weather stays warm archery will be available and we will try our best to have it for you.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
Your cookies are the BEST. Everyone in the office enjoyed both batches.
Thank you for thinking of us.
Sam Arnett
I am sorry you experienced such a delay at Bel’lago last night and personally apologize for any inconvenience experienced by you and your family. Like most restaurants, we schedule staff according to the expected volume of business as we did last night. However, the unexpected fire at the Galleria closed that dining room for several hours and everyone then went to Bel’lago overloading the staff and kitchen. We moved some staff from the Galleria but it was not enough to prevent some waiting. The food and service at Bel’lago is usually very good and I am sorry you could not enjoy it. Please forward your room number (if you have not checked out) or mailing address and I will send you a certificate for dinner for you and your family so you have the opportunity to enjoy the food and service Bel’lago usually provides.
Again, I am sorry for your experience last night and trust you realize some circumstances are beyond our control.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
I will not have the movie schedule for Thanksgiving until later next week. It will be posted on our web site as well. Doc Holiday is working on Zumba calsses and may have them arranged for your time with us. Please check the daily activity schedule Doc posts on our website.
We look forward to your arrival.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
Have a sense of humor but it only goes so far. BTW, the “Thank u for talking2 me comes off as a tad insincere.
For the record, it is now 10 minutes later and your table will definitely need refinishing from the teeth marks in it.
Sam Arnett
We are here in the pit enjoying the band ” Long Time Coming” and having a wonderful time! This band is wonderful! I have baking some fall treats today and I will send some over to you. We Love the “THE ROCK!
Thank you, it was pleasure serving you and your family. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
Thank you for the kind words. We enjoyed the opportunity to serve you an dlook forward to seeing your again.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
When you check in please ask for me at the front desk and remind me of this conversation; I will see that you get some discount coupons and a unlimited recreation pass.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
We did send out notices about the fitness center being closed. We hope to have it open by November 11, 2011.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
Please forward your request to Sam Arnett, Vacation Charters, Box 592, Lake Harmony, PA 18624.
Thank you.
Sam Arnett
Sam Arnett
I believe you have already heard from our catering and food and beverage offices. I also understand your party chose to sit in an area other than the one we reserved for you thus the reason for the balloons not being on the tables. We had signs posted all over about the flow rider being down and had contacted all gusts prior to their functions. I am sorry we missed you and personally apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. I am sure our catering and f & b staff will resoleve any concers to your satisfaction.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
Hope you are well. Craig and I are heading up this weekend (Nov.5).We are so excited to see everyone! We have been looking forward to this trip since we left Splitrock after our August vacation. We are staying at Westwood ( I LOVE Westwood!) and I was wondering if our villa (Unit: 1039 ) has many steps going into the villa? I know the villa itself has steps but I was hoping there are not too many steps outside. I am turning into an old lady and my knees are a mess! Do you have snow up there or did it all melt?I was thinking maybe we should bring our snow boots and winter coats. Sun, rain sleet, snow, hurricane doesn’t matter it’s always our vacation paradise. See Ya Saturday!!!!
First time I brought my family with me for the WTSDA Championship weekend.We really liked your hotel and service staff.Lynda and Tammy were great on the front desk and when we got stuck because of the snow,lynda set us up at the Lodge.Blake ,Gordon and Sandra were very kind and the room was great.We ate at the main building on saturday night…very good food..and then on sunday morning we ate at the lodge.Chief Robert made a great breakfast and greeted us at our table,he was also carveing prime rib the night befor for us.we want to thank you and all your staff including Tony and Alexis for takeing care of us and makeing us feel at home.We had a great Championship weekend for the WTSDA. To you and your staff have a great holiday season.
Kevin JP O’Reilly,Sah Dan WTSDA
Up to this point no one erased your comments from my Blog; it just takes 24 to 48 hours for them to post. I believe you attended the World TSDA Tournament and hope you enjoyed the program.
I am sorry the weekend snow storm frustrated you to the point you made personal attacks on me and my staff. Our plow trucks were out all day Saturday clearing resort roads. Considering State Routes 903 and 940 were closed at various times throughout the day as well as I-80 and I-81 our plowing effort was equal to the county and state. The storm was a problem because the snow was very wet (making it difficult to plow) and quickly turned to ice.
All day Saturday and up until 1 AM Sunday there was a Manager on Duty present as well as the Director of Public Safety and Night Manager. I was on property 11 hours during the day.
Snow storms are difficult for driving no matter the conditions. Our staff was able to get around the resort by driving very slowly to limit the possibility of loss of tracktion and loosing control of their vehicles. Each incident we investigated was caused by excessive speed for the conditions of snow and ice.
Again, I am sorry you were so up set and personally apologize for the inconvenience of the storm and the conditions it created.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
You really made their day yesterday. I know they will enjoy the gift you had placed it their room. Thank you.

Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
You have a full kitchen in a Willowbrook with oven, range, dishwasher, refrigerator, small appliances, pots and pans, china, flatware and glassware. The dining area will seat four.
I trust this answers your question.

You and your children are welcome at any of our Halloween events.
Thank you for TAlking2Me.

I have passed your suggestion along to the management of the Water Park and I am sure they will consider the larger lockers.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
It has been a long time since wh have had issues with bed bugs. If you are in our Slope Side wing your unit will have windows. Please forward your confirmation number to sam.arnett@splitrockresort along with a short note of this blog and I will verify the information for you.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
Since the turn over time for a table in a restaurant can be from 1 to 2 hours (depending on the size of the party) a guest can walk into an empty dining room and will not be able to be seated due to reservations that are coming for the next 1 to two hours. Many guests do not understand this and that is the reason we no longer take reervations except for parties of ten or more. Hopefully that will eliminate your seating problem. However staff call offs can also cause seating delays. I will promise you we will work on more efficient seating and can hopefully improve by your Christmas visit.
I eat out frequently at the branded restaurant chains you mention and every single one of them cannot get food out of their kitchens to the table in a reasonable time. How long do you wait for your entree after you finished your salad? Think about it for a minute and I think you may agree with me. In the day, the entree arrived just as the salad was finished but not today.
I will be looking for you Mr. & Mrs. Flynn to make sure you have pleasant dining experiences during your Christmas visit. If I may be of further assistance, please feel free to contact me through my blog and directly at sam.arnett@splitrockresort.com.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
I wanted to write you to suggest that the owner and management consider adding more food options at the resort. I have been visiting for 8 years, countless times each year, and each time I am always disappointed with the dining options. Each time, I bring at least 2 other families with me, and they too feel the same way.
It is always the same issues, each restaurant reports that there are no tables, but I am standing right there and there is a room of empty tables, service is slow, and generally they are not very flexible at all. I wish you would rent space to a restaurant chain that would provide an expected level of food service.
With the exception of disappointment in the food options, we have a great time.
We will be there again, Christmas week, and just to prove my point, my friends are already asking what will we do for food there.
Thanks.

The water park tickets are not included in your week’s stay. However, if you see me when you register at the Galleria front desk, I will give you a discount card for the water park.
I am sorry but we cannot change your reservation to the fall package.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
I am sorry but we are bound by the terms of our contract with Eversave and have to follow their procedures. However, if you contact me directly at sam.arnett@splitrockresort.com and mention this conversation about Eversave, I will see if I can come up with a package from our inventory that will come close to matching theirs.
Thank you for Talking2Me.
Sam Arnett
I will mention this to our marketing people and ask them to add more pictures. I will also ask them to check the site to make sure it is working as it should.
Thank you for Talking2Me.

I have been to Splitrock a couple of times and enjoyed it tremendously. Having a b’day party there next week too.
If I may say, this forum is not user friendly – you should be able to reply to a query right under the questions. It does not make sense to have to scroll up and down for answers…
Even free software is available for this….
The rooms where fabulous and the water park so much fun!!!!!!
