This is a great family resort! The rooms are updated and clean. The staff is nice and the grounds are kept. The price is reasonable. The best part is the pool. It's hours of fun for the kids and clean! There is something for everyone.

Great for kids, not older teenagers

We had a 2 bedroom condo which was a lot of space. It had a fireplace, 3 TVs, a pull out sofa bed, dining table for 6, full kitchen, washer/dryer in hall, and a nice little porch with a table and chairs. Overall very nice. Smelled slightly like smoke despite being a nonsmoking room. Our only complaint was our room was across the street from the pool. We didn’t end up using the pools because it was filled with small children and there was loud music playing until 9pm. If you have smaller kids they would love it. It’s a fun, cruise type vibe. My kids are older and we were hoping for a quieter time so we weren’t prepared for that. There’s tons of activities scheduled every day but most of those are geared towards younger kids too. So despite the condo itself being very nice and spacious we wouldn’t come back. I would definitely recommend it to families with younger kids though because it’s a fun place.

Space/Amenities great, cleanliness needs work

Size & comfort of rooms were great. We requested 2nd floor unit so we would have a private washer/dryer. Kids loved the pool area & gym. Biggest drawback was that the rooms weren’t clean. I saw previous reviews about cleanliness, so brought my own cleaning supplies and cleaned unit myself upon arrival. Toilet seat had dried urine, floors were covered in food crumbs, bathroom counters were sticky from hairspray, among other things. Our family has a teenager, so we all prefer separate bedrooms for privacy that traditional hotels typically do not offer. Bedding/linens looked and smelled clean. Parking was very limited. We had to park in the overflow lot every night. (We also stayed during July 4th weekend, so maybe it was more crowded than normal.) Overall, it was good if you don’t mind doing some cleaning yourself.

We wanted a place that was spacious for 5 people, and had some fun amenities for our kids. The Colonies delivered on both. The 2 bedroom condo was spacious and had everything we needed. The two swimming pools were a hit with the kids. It was very convenient to attractions in Williamsburg and the surrounding areas.
