The Cottages at King's Creek Plantation

We have visited this resort at least 5 times in the last 10 years. It is great if you have children because there is plenty of room, various pools, and the resort is very close to the amusement parks. Always have had good service, clean facilities and comfortable and clean cottages.

The King's Creek separate 3 bedroom cottages are the ideal situation for traveling with another family - privacy, loads of room and great location. We have stayed here many times before finally purchasing one. Have also stayed at Powhattan, Greenspring, Williamsburg Plantation and The Colonies. Kings Creek is by far the best of the bunch. I have had nothing but great comments from my renters on the years that we couldn't go - this year included. Highly recommended, straight-up.

Liars and theives. I am sorry to say I bought at Kings Creek. They will promise the world. If you are foolish enough to buy, get every word they say in writing. Believe nothing or you will be so sorry too. My best advice is not to buy. Unless you want to buy mine--in the cottages--3 br w. lock-off. I am anxious to sell.

Maybe Their Accommodations Are Better Than Their Timeshare Sales... But I Doubt That!

Went on a 3-hour tour, but was not at all impressed with their facilities. Every unit had two garbage cans on the front sidewalk which makes it look more like a large housing sub-development rather than an actual timeshare resort.

Also, we were not impresed with the promises of future development allegedly substantiated by a dormant back hoe, and empty construction trailers. When asked why no construction work was being done during the middle of the workday, we received a paltry response of, "The builders are so generous that they gave the workers off for the entire Christmas week". Somehow I get the feeling that if we were to tour again in 6-months that the back hoe would be located in the exact position, and the construction trailers would be similarly empty.

Not only would I say that this resort is well "off of the beaten trail", but the GPS took us down the street to someone's backyard whose surroundings reminded me of a scene from Deliverance; I could almost hear the banjos. In fact, the whole experience was like a bad movie when the salesman enacted a scene from Psycho when questioned whether this resort was REALLY one of the Top 25 Resorts on Interval International (comparable to Marriott's Grand Vista in Orlando). Wow, the poor guy blew a gasket about having his "integrity questioned" but yet could not, and would not answer the basic question of what the brand name of the development company is that identifies their "huge network of luxurious and world reknown resorts". Hmmmm... I think it's time to show me the money because this Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairys is over.

The Pros: Very relaxing, just right for families. We had two one-bedroom units, which seemed smaller than some I've been to, but were still plenty for our needs. Our units overlooked on of the pool and playground areas which was great for our two small kids. The larger kiddie pool is the best! Colonial Williamsburg is very close and is an attraction that needs several days to enjoy. There are not a ton of activities on the resort, but that is because it would have to compete with SO many surrounding attractions. I can see why people come year after year- they never run out of things to do and see. The Cons: Pretty minor things- I would have liked a restaurant on site. The hot tub was too cold to enjoy one night. The stove burner trays did not fit. The cable for the VCR/DVD player was missing. Definitely would return- no question.
