Everything was amazing lots of activities right at the resort definitely will be returning
Staff was great and very helpful. Loved the amenities and the pool and hot tub. Everything was clean and great. Only issues was couldn’t get hot water to work had to call maintenance and then still didn’t work. Asides that was great and def recommend
We stayed for two nights, only used the coffee machine in the lobby. But the rooms are very nice, very convenient, including parking right in front, convenient location, woodsy setting with little noise, everything was comfortable.
Pool was great. Love having the 2 suites together on the same floor. No other place we have stayed in Williamsburg could make this happen. We really appreciate the effort.
Every staff person we spoke with was friendly and helpful, from counter staff, pool & cleaning crew.
The Colonies Resort is a great location to enjoy. The rooms are nice and accommodating. The bathrooms were clean and smelled fresh. We look forward to visiting this location again.
The resort was clean. The staff was also very friendly.

This was a great stay for the price. Our 2 br unit had some raggedy moments, but it's obviously an old property. The first thing we saw upon entry was a huge burn in the carpet (might wanna touch that up). The couches looked like somebody's grandma died on them. On the other hand, the bedrooms were clean and comfortable. Bathrooms clean and stocked. The pool and amenities were great for kids. Overall a good stay. We'd book again.
The resort was clean and conveniently located. The staff gave option for dining and fun. It was a family friendly resort and I would definitely recommend it for your stay
Huge room, very clean, great amenities. A small lingering smell from previous guests but otherwise awesome. This was an incredible deal price-wise, I will happily come back again.
