I made this reservation for two about three days before arriving on a Saturday night for two twin beds. Imagine my surprise when we were placed in a huge two bedroom codo...one King and one Queen bed, great comfortable bedding and two full, larges baths! Plus a well equipped kitchen, supplies for morning coffee, a large LR with fireplace and... More

My family stayed here last September 2011 with my two month year old son (the reason why I am posting this so late) and we were very impressed with the our 2 Bdrm Deluxe Condo. I had a time share with Diamond and this was one of the location in Williamsburg I could stay at and I must admit after... More

We came in may 2012 and were not impressed with the condo. To start, the condo was very outdated with brass fixtures, 19 inch box tvs, and one tile was loose in the bathroom. I read where some of the condos were nice with hot tubs and flat screen tvs, it must just depend on which one you get. However,... More

Be prepared for a long 2 hour pressured Time Share pitch. Oh, now it is called buying points, about $39,000.00 worth! They don't like to be told "No" either and every time we told them we were not interested they brought out another person to hammer us. Anytime you are told it is a one time deal and you have...

We got a groupon deal for 2 nights there and went at the end of May 2012. The grounds are gorgeous! It must be a wonderful place to take pictures and such, but the condo where we stayed was dated. Comfortable, but dated. It is a time share kind of place and they wanted us to attend a meeting with... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. For the same price as a hotel you get a 2 bedroom condo which made it great to spread out with the kids! My daughter enjoyed the indoor pool but the water made her hair disgusting (maybe too many chemicals?). The condo was very clean and the beds were very comfortable. It would have... More

Its seems this resort is somewhat of a time share thing. I went out of season, booking on hotels.com and got a whole condo to myself for very cheap ($70). However, i think they like to entice you in and when you go to check in, they try and get you to attend meetings, which i assume is for the... More

My girlfriend and I stayed here using a Groupon deal that was $99 for 2 nights. Seemed like a good deal, so we jumped on it. I saw lots of complaints from people saying that the staff pushed the Timeshare property, but I didn't feel any pressure. I got a call a week in advance asking if we were interested... More

We had stayed here previously and enjoyed our stay. Not so much this time. Check-in was a nightmare and was the worse of other problems to come. Laundry room door hanging loose from its hinges; broken lock on sliding door to deck; missing TV remote; bee and hornet's nests at deck's edge. The unit was okay but nothing to write... More
