Based on other reviews I was a little unsure, I was pleasantly surprised - the resort is great with indoor and outdoor pool, tennis, water features etc... the ground floor two bedroom we had was excellent clean and nice, even had a washer and dryer, and a hot tub spa in the back patio area. I was pleased with the... More

I stayed here with my mother, sister, eight year old nephew and my almost two year old son. It was the perfect size for us. We had a two bedroom unit that was upstairs. I would have definitely preferred a downstairs unit because my son was obsessed with going up and down the stairs and not having a gate, i... More

We stayed here on an RCI certificate in mid-March very nice place great location not very touristy at all. It’s set back in a neighborhood area by itself. The resort is very large but the way it’s laid out you feel very secluded from all the other units. The entrance area is fabulous with a long drive and the historic... More

When we drove on to the grounds we thought we were in for a rare treat, but we were terribly wrong, which was proven out when we stood in an extremely long line for check in. After having driven 11 hours to get there for a weekend family reunion, we were anxious to get into the room and relax a... More

We scheduled this stay on an exchange with RCI. It was not the nicest place we've ever stayed, but it was fine. We enjoyed our breakfast on the patio every morning. Our check in was relatively easy, and they only called a couple of times to try to schedule us for a "timeshare update." We refused and they were not... More

Although we are members of the RCI exchange company, we booked this resort for only one night through hotwire.com. We paid $74 a night. We were pleased with the security check in and the size of the resort. Our actual check in was quick and easy. We were directed to another counter to get our welcome packet (a map and... More

We actually own timeshares at Diamond Resorts. Since we love Williamsburg, we come several times a year and always stay at Historic Powhatan Resort. We almost feel like this is home away from home. We have never had a bad experience in the many years we have been coming. Whenever there is a problem with plumbing, etc. it is quickly... More

This resort needed updating when we went several years ago. The option didn't allow for reviews from previous years. Colonial Williamsburg itself is the cleanest family entertainment we ever enjoyed. Powhatan, however, is only average, though nice and roomy.

We booked a two-bedroom, full kitchen condo at the Historic Powhatan Resort in Williamsburg from May 10th through May 17th, 2013. The location was great! The grounds were beautiful, and the condo was beautiful...clean, and updated...very comfortable...overlooking a pond. The biggest drawback for us, other than no elevator, and the only reason we gave it three stars, is the check-in... More

This was a nice condo for the money. We stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms. The rooms are quite spacious and are well laid out for families. They are still lacking on some of the details, but overall we enjoyed our stay here.
