We stayed at the Powhatan and everything was excellent. I called the week before and asked for an updated room. It had granite counter tops, new mattresses, air conditioning, hot tub. Very nice. We needed extra bedding for the fold our couch and it was delivered within 10 minutes of calling the front desk. We enjoyed the Martha Washington breakfast... more

Awesome weekend in Williamsburg while staying with four young children at the Powhatan Resort. Great location and spacious accomodations. We were lucky to get a newly upgraded unit with luxurious furnishings and beds, granite countertops, and nice decor. Pretty nice indoor pool. Recommend asking for a newly renovated unit. We stayed for less than $70.00 per night by finding a... more

We exchanged our RCI for a week at this resort. The check in took forever and we were given a unit that was older and in need of remodeling badly. The facility was clean and the amenities were lacking. The kitchen needed a major make over. The dishwasher had a melted top rack and the bottom rack looked like it... more

We had read the reviews AFTER we booked and were quite nervous about this resort. We emailed before we left the UK about our concerns and got no reply until the 4th attempt. We called the resort before we left as well. When we arrived we had a beautiful two bedroom with a hot tub. The room was perfect. We... more

We stayed in a two bedroom jacuzzi suite. It was fantastic. We had a beautiful lake view. Full kitchen with a washer/dryer. I was a great place to stay with our friends and their children. more

Well - As an RCI exchange I wasn't expecting one of the newer units. I stayed here for a long weekend. The property was well maintained and the room was really clean. We had a top unit and it was nice because we didn't hear the neighbors below us. However, the room was super outdated and not really that appealing.... more

Great Place!

I have stayed at many timeshares in Williamsburg and enjoyed them all. I really liked Powattan. We stayed in a two bedroom two bath unit that was updated. Both baths were really nice and the unit was clean and comfortable. I was just with my husband, but commented that if you had your family there with you, there was plenty... more

We visited for a week at the end of June 2009 with two older teenage boys. I had read mixed reviews about the condition of the rooms, but ours was beautifully decorated and had everything we could need. The location was near to all the attractions we wanted to visit: Colonial williamsburg, Jamestown, Busch Gardens, etc: nothing was more than... more

A girlfriend and I were given the gift of a week at the Powhatan Resort by my aunt and uncle who had purchased the week for themselves and were unable to use it. We arrived at the resort and the check in staff was friendly, helpful and let us check in at 10:00 AM when we arrived. The grounds were... more

I was worried after reading many negative reviews about this condo-complex. I booked the room through Hotwire and got a good rate, but didn't know what hotel I was getting until after I booked. Based on other reviews, I called to confirm my reservation and asked if I had a remodeled room. I was told that all of the one... more
