Great pool and facilities. The staff was friendly, but there were two really loud staff members in the back clearly not working and being extremely loud during check out. The rooms are clean mostly, but a little dusty in places and found some items hidden behind the curtain in the living room. Overall, would stay again.

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.

There was a problem with some of the rooms at the Colonies so we had to move to their sister resort down the road. Due to the inconvenience they upgraded our room to a very nice 2 bedroom suite and gave us a complimentary 2 night stay for the future.

The lobby and grounds were well maintained, which created a great first impression. We've stayed at this property before, so we were surprised to find how dated the rooms have become. While the rooms are spacious, the furniture could definitely use an upgrade. For example, the clock charger was designed for an iPod or a first-generation iPad, which feels very outdated. We did encounter a few issues with our unit, but the staff was wonderful and handled everything promptly and professionally.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The property was extremely family friendly. My 10 year old daughter loved the calender of daily activities, many included, some at a small fee. The pool area was great and provided hours of entertainment. The condo itself was well appointed and spacious but could have used a deeper cleaning. There are specific rules of how you must leave the condo but some areas lacked even a surface cleaning. The beds and pillows were extremely uncomfortable. The check out time is 10am, which is very early considering your room at check in is not available a min before 4pm. The area is extremely convenient to restaurants, shopping and theme parks.
