Excellent vacation resort! We used this resort as a result of a time share exchange. The unit was spotless, fully equipped with everything you can think of, and it ended up being one of our best exchanges in over 30+ years of time share exchanges. We had a ground level unit and heard very little noise from other units. We... More

The units at the Colonies are quite new, some even under construction. All have 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms along with a full kitchen and living/patio area. The kitchen is completely supplied with full-sized appliances, and we appreciated the in-unit washer and dryer. The units must be insulated well as we did not hear any noise from other guests. Too...

A group of six of us stayed in a two bedroom unit that sleeps 8 and there was plenty of room for us. The units are fairly new, nicely decorated, and spacious with a large kitchen, dining room, and two large bathrooms. Some of the views from the balconies look out into wooded areas. The clubhouse had indoor and outdoor... More

Don't know how to describe perfect. Quiet, upscale amenities and large units, Friendly Staff, pool was large and Fun, and location was great. Easy ride to all attractions. This complex is still in the process of being built but in our unit we didn't hear any construction. Would love to go again.

We've just returned from a quick get-away weekend in Williamsburg. Stayed at The Colonies, which is actually a time share, so I don't know how that works. It's still being built, so maybe they're renting out units until they're completed. However, there was NO attempt at a sales pitch at any time. The staff is super friendly, and the unit... More

We haven’t had great luck with condo trades in recent years, so I was thrilled when we arrived at the Colonies of Williamsburg for Spring break this year! The condo immediately felt like home – very up-to-date and nicely decorated with a warm, inviting décor. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Two large full-size bathrooms made it a breeze for our...

I highly recommend the Colonies at Williamsburg. I was surprised at how roomy this 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo was. We were on the second floor and had our own washer and dryer in our unit.

We traded in a week to stay at the Colonies as we prefer having a condo with a full kitchen for a week's stay. This is a new property and the rooms are llarge, well appointed, and clean. The one negative was a minor ant problem but overall we were very satisfied with the rooms themselves. As others have mentioned... More
