We were a family of 11 (6 adults, 5 kids ages 10-16) visiting Williamsburg for the first time. We rented 2 condos (third floor) which shared an adjoining “foyer” that had a separate locked door to the main stairwell. This allowed us to keep our doors open and easily go back and forth between the two places. The condos were nice, had a hotel feel to them but could use some updating.The layout was great and there was ample space for everyone to be together or separate. While there was adequate sleeping arrangements w/ beds and sofa beds we did use 2 air mattresses so each kid had their own bed. Air mattresses fit nicely in living rooms by the sofas. Beds were comfortable as were the sofa beds. The kitchens had very minimal utensils, plates, glasses etc… so if you plan on cooking a large meal plan accordingly. While the condos were clean the main hallway / foyer of our building could have been maintained better. There was debris on the floor and steps that remained there the entirety of our stay, the hallway also had a smell at times possibly of trash although we could not actually see trash left behind, and the entry doors were constantly smudged as glass was not cleaned at all during the week. As for the amenities - the resort offered A LOT - large pools (indoor and outdoor) basketball court, mini golf, pickle ball, sand volleyball, horseshoes, tennis, shuffleboard - and we enjoyed them all. Equipment was easily available for checkout at the Activities office but we also brought some of our own so that we could use the facilities after checkout closed at 5pm. Pool was large and clean and had plenty of lounge chairs and tables. The cabana bar was unfortunately closed and we were told it was not reopening this year.
The location of the resort was convenient to local attractions - 20/30 minutes from Busch Gardens, Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown and there was local shopping and chain eateries within 10minutes. Regarding security - while we did need a card key to enter our building and our condos there was free access to all other amenities on the property. There was a security guard at the main entrance but honestly they never asked us for any info indicating we were actually guests of the resort nor did they really check For our parking pass. Check-in / Check-out was easy but be prepared to be “offered” to participate in a presentation for the resort - think “timeshare “ presentation. All in all we had a great trip and were happy with the resort.
