Just took my three kids to Williamsburg and stayed at this resort. Beautiful grounds and amenities, and two-bedroom condo had plenty of room. Only negatives: bathrooms desperately need updating and we did get a phone call wanting us to tour condos for timeshare purchase. Otherwise, very good location and good deal for the price.

Once again my fellow tripadvisor reviewers were right on target with their reviews of the Powhatan Plantation Resort - stay in a newly remodeled room! I didn't have the opportutinity to take their adveice - I booked through Southwest to save a few bucks. First the bad - The non-remodeled rooms would have been state of the art in the... More

Got a Groupon for $99 for a 2 night Fri/Sat stay in April. Great deal for this place. Check in was a breeze. They did try to sneak in the timeshare presentation question. I was totally expecting it and very firmly declined. It never came up again. They give you a nice little welcome package with coffee, and brochures/maps of... More

Our unit was in desperate need of repair and updating. The need for updating our unit could have been ignored if we were notified prior to our stay and if the unit was clean. However, I saw one of the newly rennovated units, and they are georgeous. The resort is in the process of updating all the units. Funny, I... More

We just got home from Powahatan and like most, were somewhat disappointed with the resort. We had our family (3 kids) and relatives (3 adults) staying in a separate unit elsewhere on the property both trips. This was our second stay here, the first in Oct. '11, after the hurricane/storms. The resort itself is nice and well maintained, with nice... More

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

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 To start, the condo was very outdated with brass fixtures, 19 inch box tvs, and one tile was loose in the bathroom.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
