“Don't do the sales presentation no matter what they promise you!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

I stayed in a sister resort and so I won't judge the accommodations completely with the exception that Kingsgate is looking rather dated with their deferred maintenance issues. LOTS of peeling paint, water damage from bad drainage from gutters, etc...

What I will say as in the title. Do NOT under ANY circumstances do the sales pitch there. They were awful! They lied about the time it would take to do the presentation saying it would only take 60 minutes. In reality it took 2 hours. They said they were providing lunch which they did but it was not what they promised and thus I couldn't eat it. So, I spent the 2 hours being VERY hungry. From the moment we walked in we were treated as if we were an animal ready for slaughter. There was an expectation you would buy (which isn't bad except that when it was clear we wouldn't they put us through the wringer and treated us like contaminated meat.)

NO respect for us, our time or our money! We have always planed to buy at Wyndham but they have really convinced me it isn't a great idea!

I do not begrudge anyone who is trying to sell. But, there is a basic need for respect and these poor souls didn't seem to know that.

If you do plan to go through this horrific experience. I would recommend you ask for as much money from them as possible, eat BEFORE you go and plan at least 2 hours NOT one.

“Great place to stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 8, 2012

We stayed here for a few days with friends and had a great time. They had so much to do for the kids. You can rent movies for $2.00, arcade and many other things to keep the kids occupied. The rooms are very clean and you feel like you are home when staying here. It is so close to historic Williamsburg just a few minute drive.

“Excellent Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

We stayed here on a recent trip to the D.C. area. We were in Williamsburg for 3 nights and enjoyed Jamestown, Yorktown, and historic Williamsburg. We found great places to eat and had a good time. The resort is beautiful and there are so many things to do from tennis, swimming, movies and other things that are offered. We were in a 2 bedroom 2 bath and the only drawback was no elevator (we were on the 3rd floor). But that was the only thing that wasn't perfect. The room was beautiful and the resort ground are great. I would definitely recommend this to anyone going to Williamsburg.

“Eight day stay!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

Stay btw Oct 28-Nov 4, 2012. Checking in was handled very well and by competent people.Speak w/Jacqueline, our concierge, she was lovely!

Two bedroom w/kitchenette is nice. Sort of smelly so we bought a candle. Light bulbs are such a low wattage in the kitchen and dining room that it's difficult to see/use (lends a new meaning to candle lit dinner).

Wi-fi was intermittent @ best. Stove took 1/2hr just to preheat to 400...ugh. Couches are oddly uncomfortable. The bed was VERY uncomfortable, almost like we could feel the springs. Only 4 hangers in each closet. They do provide toilet paper, dish soap and laundry detergent. Unit had a small washer and dryer which was nice.

The activity center was good; heated (actually really heated nicely) indoor pool w/a bathroom and one shower & lockers (bring your own lock); a nice exercise room/equipment, game room (free to play games, technically, but don't forget that you're paying a mandatory $5 activity fee per day of your stay so it's not "free"). Movies and books to rent, a movie theater, outdoor pool and putt-putt.

Once you check in you're ushered to the concierge desk to obtain your parking ticket. There, they give you ideas to go during your stay etc. Very helpful. They also advise you that your morning after check-in, they offer you a wonderful breakfast catered by Rocco's Smokehouse and you'll fill out a "how did your check in go" and by attending you will receive 2 tickets to Colonial Williamsburg...a $48 value each. Actually it's one of those 60-90minute sales pitch breakfasts where they tell you why they're so great and you should purchase. We didn't attend.

This resort is very centrally located which really beat out any issues we may have had. We do not own here however our week stay was a gift from a family member & we would stay here again, providing we could get a room change to a more comfy bed (?).

Room Tip: Bring some extra hangers. They provide all kitchen utensils and appliances, laundry and kitchen soap...

“Colonail Williamsburg, Kingsgate”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

My wife and I spent a week at Wyndham Kingsgate Resort in Colonial Williamsburg in October 2012 and had a great time.The grounds and facilities are top notch and kept spotlessly clean. The staff are friendly and helpful. The one bedroom dondo was a good size except there was only 1 queen size bed and a pull out. The kitchen was ok with a two burner cook top, full fridge and a micro wave. The sink was barely adequate to wash dishes but how many dishes are you washing? The kitchen was along one wall with a two person eating area in/adjacent to the living room.
The only negative thing I have to say is the "free breakfast" aka the sales pitch to have you convert to a Wyndham timeshare plan. Unless you really want to hear it don't do it.The breakfast was ok but not worth the sales lecture by an egocentric "Doctor" of Wyndham. It was nice to see what the Governor's Green offered, also a Wyndham resort but pretty much a waste of a morning.But then the two free three day passes to Colonial Williamsburg compensated (saved $82). The sales ptch was not high pressure and we left with our breakfast,tour of the Governr's Green and our free passes with no hassle.
Colonial Williamsburg is interesting and worth a visit but really just another theme park. We visited Yorkton and Jonestown also and in doing so wound up on a free ferry ride across the Bay, very nice boat ride. The area is teeming with history if that's your thing. There's lots of good restaurants closeby as well as shopping malls. If you like buffets there's a Golden Corral very near.
You need a car to get around the area. It seems as though they built a city in the middle of a forest and left all the trees in place.
Visit Virginia Beach while you're there its about an hour's drive and a beautiful long beach and boardwalk (concrete boardwalk???) with shops and restaurants. Stop at the visitors centre as you go into the city its worth it. If you like jet aircraft Virginia Beach is good for watching F18's roar over every few minutes.
We'd go again to Williamsburg if only because the resort was so clean and friendly and the pools and spa were still open second week of October.The weather was low 70's/high 60's and sunny.

Room Tip: There is no room service, you have to make your own bed and take out the garbage. Get a second or th...
