We have been staying here on and off over the years visiting the area. Villas are very spacious
with great balconies, generous sized rooms and kitchens. I would definitely splurge and pay the upcharge for a view of the river and also request a top floor unit. The walls and floors are thin
and you can hear everything above or below you - so top floor will get you the quietest stay if
the building is full. They will bring firewood for your fireplace and start it for you in season which
is a nice touch. Beds are wonderful- very comfy. The decor is a bit dated but the furniture is
very comfortable and well maintained. A nice large easy chair in the bedroom plus a desk
and workstation. The drive up to and the entire property is really lovely - great places to walk
or just sit and enjoy a picnic lunch overlooking the James. Did not eat in any of the restaurants on property but their rec center and pools are very nice. The steps to your unit are wooden
stairs that are outdoor - no elevators - so be prepared when packing your gear and if you
have trouble with stairs. If you want to step away from the hub bub of the "tourist row" of hotels and places to visit - Kingsmill is THE place to do it. It's hard to beat waking up in the morning - at any time of year - and stepping out onto your balcony to enjoy your breakfast with the peaceful view of the James River.

We planned an overnight stay at Kingsmill including a half day at the spa for four. The Accommodations--Although the two bedroom suite was clean and nice, we were told that breakfast was included. Unfortunately, after we had already received our food, we were told it was not. The employee that gave us the information happened to be there that morning. We spoke with her and the manager concerning the confusion. Although the employee admitted telling us that breakfast was included, she said she was incorrect in telling us that. The manager would not comp the breakfast which I thought was poor business sense, considering the employee even admitted she conveyed the information. The Spa--At the time, Kingsmill was running a special, for every $50 coupon purchased, the cost was only $35. There were coupons for the spa, accommodations and golf. They ran out of the spa coupons, and the employee that we spoke with stated that it did not matter what the coupon was actually for, they could be used for any service or retail purchase. (Yes, same person that misinformed us about the breakfast) When we paid for the 1/2 day spa day for four, we were told that we could only use the coupons that stated "Spa". The spa manager was called and after we explained what we were told, she reluctantly said they would do it this one time. After that embarrassment at the desk in front of other patrons, the spa was only ok. The bathrooms are outdated. There was trash on the floor of the bathroom. I witnessed two employees on separate occasions using the facility and did not even pick it up. In addition, the individual that performed my manicure clearly just came in from having a smoke outside. On a positive note, the facial and massage I received was great. No complaints.
Overall, extremely disappointed in Kingsmill. Even with the current special, the cost was high in relation to the services received. I have been to Kingsmill many times for PGA and LPGA golf tournaments. I do not think that the Spa lives up to Kingsmills' reputation.

We had another delightful stay at the Kings Mill over the Christmas break with our two teenagers. We stayed over for New Years Eve and had the best and most peaceful time. Kingsmill is beautiful—located right on the James River. The suites are spacious and there is plenty of room for all of us to spread out and relax. We really love the working fireplace. The staff was prompt in bringing firewood and laying the fire. They also left a generous amount of wood to keep the fire going. We watched the sun set from the Marina Bar and Grille and it was just lovely. The view from the second floor of the Grille is spectacular!
The staff did a terrific job tidying our room, and so nice in accommodating us since we stayed in our rooms until noon. We were there in December and slept in. We had a gift certificate to the Spa, so we all had a manicure.
Williamsburg overall can be crowded and tiring after a day of events and sight seeing so having the large grounds and spacious quarters makes Kingsmill feel like a quiet, special world. Just driving in gives a nice calm feeling, especially after a day of sight seeing.
I reserved our rooms over the telephone and check in was a breeze. We had to leave very early on a Holiday check out day. Very quick. A great vacation for us.

Second time here great vacation spot excellent service ,pools couldn't be better just opened new lazy river, golf courses great but a little pricey rooms large and comfortable cant wait to come back .
