First visit to Paradise Stream. Have been to Poco...

First visit to Paradise Stream. Have been to Pocono Palace many times, starting in the early 90's and probably the last visit was 2013.
Room - Very Good
We got Diana's Oasis based on the recommendation of the staff at check-in. The room was modern, clean, and spacious. It was located close to the activities. We did take a peek inside the Lakeside Villa and it was definitely dated and in need of renovation. As a Forever Lover, I get a 2 room upgrade, and almost got the Garden of Eden room - but was warned that even though it was bigger, it was not as modern as Diana's.
Facility - Good
All the activities, dining, and bar are centrally located in one area. The indoor game room, pools, and outdoor areas were well maintained. The resort is small, much smaller than the other resorts. We were there during July 4th, so there weren't a lot of guests, but space around the outdoor pool was filled. I can't imagine if we were there during a busy time. The "lake" is more of a stagnant pond home to a flock of geese. Don't know that I would paddle boat or fish in it.
Food - Poor
The food was a huge disappointment. When I go back, it will not be part of the all inclusive plan. In years past, breakfast was typically made to order and then they may have a buffet once or twice during the week. They only had the buffet which was the same items each day. I would have enjoyed a TGI Friday's or Applebee's instead of having dinner at the resort. The chicken alfredo was bland and tasteless - both the chicken and the sauce. The prime rib - looked like a slice of prime rib - but tasted like pot roast. Vegetables and potatoes were overcooked and mushy. It is a shame because in year's past, the food was exceptional. Now I'd rather go to a local diner.
Location - Good
The Poconos have built up quite a bit. Within a 10 mile radius you'll find the outlets, super Walmart, Shoprite, fast food, antique stores, etc. I'd recommend checking out the Pocono Brewery Company for their happy hour 3-6 PM, M-F, for $6 pizzas and reduced drink prices. If you are expecting to be out in the middle of nowhere - you are in for a surprise.
Summary
The resort is a nice getaway, would definitely go back - but just get the room only.
