Greensprings

Just returned from our 4th vacation at Greensprings in 4 years. I cannot say enough about this resort and it's location. The units are well kept and nicely decorated. Everything you need for cooking you will find in the kitchen - and restaurants aplenty if you don't. The master bed & bath is awesome with king size bed and corner jacuzzi tubs. We overlooked the 13 tee with a beautiful view of the greens.There are tennis courts, shuffle board, and mini golf on-site. The activities desk rents movies & games, sells discounted tickets to area attractions & golfing and the indoor and out door pools were great.

We took 3 generations with us and there was something for everyone - golf, of course, right outside your door, museums at the college, outlet shopping, history at colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown & Jamestown. The amusement and water parks for the kids and Virginia Beach is close by.

Editing this in 2006 - we now own at Greensprings and still love to travel here evey year!!! Editing again in 2011 - will be travelling there this year yet again, it's starting to feel like home!!!!

We were supposed to have two - 2 bedroom units which were on the same level. These were not available so we were given two - 2 bedroom units in a different building. Problem was that instead of one level, one unit was on second floor and the other was on third floor. Quite a bit of pain for all our older knees!

Be sure to find out what unit in which building and what kind of unit before you book or buy here.

Otherwise, the facilities were very good, the service was good and the location is fantastic.

We were very satisfied with our stay and will go back. It had everything we needed, as prior reviews have mentioned.

Only issue was, with the exception of the LR patio window, we had no draperies in our unit. Just a pretty valance and CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP blinds. They didn't close tight and were beginning to fall apart, as cheap blinds do. No one could tell us why our unit had no drapes. When walking around, most other units did have drapes.

The WiFi service (AT&T) worked reasonably well, but seemed a little slow at times. We don't mind paying ($29.95/wk), as nothing is free these days and a day without my computer is a day not worth living. Sad, isn't it.

Interesting tidbit...we toured the timeshares at the Marriott's Ford Manor while we were there. The floorplan at Greensprings was better...more elbow room.

Funny comment: our unit overlooked part of the golf course. Two different men walked within 10 feet of our patio and relieved themselves in the woods on the perimeter. I wonder how common this is?

Two great food options: Trader Joe's for a grocery store and the Old Chickahominy House for a restaurant. Both within 4 miles but in different directions.

“I'd Rate it 4.5 If I Could”

Just returned from a week's stay during Christmas week, and was very pleased with both the accommodations and the service.

Traded for a 4-bedroom, and it was definitely worth the Redweek points! The two 2-bedroom adjacent units were located on the ground floor, and each had a 2-person jacuzzi. Even the two stand-up showers were actual steam rooms replete with a built-in seat. Very impressive!!!

Didn't get to use much of the ancillary amenities of the resort while we were there, but there seemed to be many on-site: Movies, Bingo, Gym, kid activities...

Only drawback was that it is approximately 15-minutes from Colonial Williamsburg, but by the end of our stay we were used to the travel time. About half way down Monticello Ave on the way to Colonial Williamsburg is a Trader Joes, which we could not pass without stopping in. Also there are a couple of good fundamental churches in the area within ~ a 30-minutes drive.

Would definitely stay again if in the area, and trade is available.

Arrived for 4 nights - August 5, 2008. Couldn't believe the caliber of the unit. Plenty of room, beautifully decorated, kitchen stocked - except for a frying pan which the front desk replaced in less than 20 minutes. Services were excellent. Highly recommend.
