- PMPeter McCallister1 day ago3.0This trip was a re-do of a bad experience last year. Aside from the annoying sales pitches(which are expected), everything went pretty well this time around, except for one issue. Most everything at the resort is only accessible by key card, which is great. Keeps people who don’t belong there out. We noticed that security was just waving people through without verifying if they belonged there or not, but didn’t think much else of it. Figured whoever it was wouldn’t be able to access amenities anyway. The one thing we couldn’t enjoy this time around(which was much needed), was the pool area. The side entrance of the pool requires a key, but the front entrance does not. Every time we went to enjoy the hot tub, a group of unsupervised children came in, jumping into the hot tub(18+, no children) one, splashing the water from the hot tub into the pool in an attempt to make it warmer. They proceeded to do backflips off the hot tub into the pool. It was ridiculously chaotic and there were no adults or employees in sight. The only thing missing was the music playing (“Nothing beats a Jet2 Holiday…). The same children were later seen waiting outside with their swimming gear and backpacks waiting for rides. Clearly security and other workers are giving access to everything to people who are not supposed to be there. It was so close to a perfect week. One more thing, people were parking in front of our unit who didn’t belong there. They were supposed to park in the overflow lot but kept returning even after security left them a violation on their vehicle.
- SBSteve Bellefontaine1 day ago1.0The rooms at this location were outdated. Renovations need to be done to bring a former Diamond Resort to Hilton standards. Many steps to climb and the walls were so thin, I could hear the couple in the next condo snoring. I was very disappointed and they tried to sell me more points even though I am a HGV member telling me my membership needs to be updated to a trust for $30,000 more. The salesperson told me he would reimburse the extra $300 I paid to upgraded the room but it was never done. Be careful with former Diamond and Blue Green properties as I feel Hilton is more concerned about volume than quality. I fear Hilton is lowering their standards when merging with other resorts, rather than merging and upgrading and renovating the other companies it buys
- RTRob TahamtanNov 16, 20254.0Highly recommend this hotel when visiting Williamsburg, VA. Beautiful and well kept grounds.
- AHAnastazie HerreraNov 7, 20254.0Honestly a really great stay! The rooms were so spacious, clean, and everything in good condition. The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, well maintained and friendly staff! The location is great, close to everything, Colonial Williamsburg and Jamestowne!
- JRJessica RyanNov 3, 20255.0We stayed 4 nights at the Hilton Vacation Club The Historic Powhatan Williamsburg and had such a great experience! The resort is beautiful, peaceful, and full of charm. We were pleasantly surprised with a free upgrade to a 2-bedroom suite — it was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Every team member we met was friendly and welcoming, and the property was very well maintained. We didn’t get a chance to use the pool or restaurant this time, but we’re already looking forward to enjoying them on our next visit. Highly recommend this resort for a relaxing getaway in Williamsburg!
