I am taking my new son-in-law on first vacation with us. I have on hold a 4 bedroom unit at Williamsburg Plantation Unit #65
I have read very mixed reviews on this resort. I want this to be a good experience.
Has anyone been there recently and does anyone know if this unit is old or remodeled.
Thanks for any input on unit, pool, grounds, activities etc.

See if you can find out from the resort if this is Williamsburg, Jamestown, or the Yorktown units. Williamsburg are the older units. The 4 bedroom units are 2 separate 2 BR units with one unit having a limited kitchen
I own one of the the Williamsburg units and don't know much about the other styles. The Williamsburg units have one 2BR upstairs & one 2 BR downstairs.
I found the units comfortable, but not luxurious. Only a few units have twin beds, so if you need three beds, someone will need to sleep on the sofa-bed.
It's a basic resort in a decent location. You are not going to get the luxury of a Marriott, but unless you are the type of person that let's the small stuff bother you, you should be fine.
My one pet peeve is that the Master Bathroom is basically a tub/shower, toilet and sink, while the main bathroom has a spa tub and a double shower :whoopie:. I stayed in one older unit a few years ago, that had a dry sauna in the bathroom as well. Needless to say my wife and I used this bathroom as the Master Bath.
There are activities. Some are free and some charge a fee. The pool is your basic vanilla-flavored pool; no slides or "river". We spent very little time at the pool anyway, since we were always out and about in Colonial Williamsburg, Busch Gardens, etc. As of last year the only wireless access was in the clubhouse. Not a problem for me, but some people live for their email (and TUG forum
).
If you arrive around 4 pm, it will be crowded at check-in. Just be patient and be prepared to wait in line.
Send me a PM if you have any more specific questions.
