Who do you complain to about trade

[barb45]

I took a week in August at the King's Creek Plantation in Williamsburg Virginia. I hope this place is OK. It looked OK on the tug reviews and on tripadvisor.

Barb45,

This week I watched a show on the Travel Channel that featured the top 10 family resorts, and Kings Creek was on the list. I know that the show will be on tv again sometime later this month. It looked like a great place!

Kings Creek is an RCI Gold Crown resort. That's their highest rating. Here's info and a couple of reviews. If you go to RCI.com I think you can see all 18 reviews.

"Steeped in history, Colonial Williamsburg is located only three miles from King's Creek Plantation. Visit Jamestown, Busch Gardens, Yorktown, the Williamsburg Winery, Colonial Downs Race Track, and Water Country USA. A new aquatic center will open on site in January 2005 and will offer an indoor pool, hot tub, men's and women's locker rooms and saunas, and a fitness center with state-of-art Cybex equipment, including cardio exercise, circuit training, and free weights.

This is an outstanding family resort. Truly a five star. The very best location adjacent to Water Country USA. Exceptional service and outstanding accommodations. You should not hesitate to stay here. There are a lot of units which are really all within walking distance of a pool area.
There are not a lot of structured activities for kids, but if you are visiting the parks or spending the day by the pool, we didn’t miss them. They did have a make your own ice cream sundae when we were there which was great fun for the kids. One day when it was rainy in the afternoon I called the office to ask about a CD player so the children could listen to music, and within a half hour a brand new CD player, in the box, was delivered to our room. The large-screen TV in the living area (2+bdrm units) was a real treat for everyone to watch.

This was one of the cleanest hotels/resorts I have ever stayed in. The staff does an excellent job maintaining the cleanliness of the units. The only item missing was a hairdryer (which is a surprise because they really had absolutely anything else you might need within the unit). The rocking chairs on the porch were a great touch and used frequently. Even the Adirondack chairs on the deck were a nice touch. Lots of little extras made this a great home away from home.

Best things about the resort
Close proximity to attractions and pool area. Excellent accommodations.

We were very pleased with our accommodations; our unit was a two-unit townhouse overlooking the clubhouse pool and woods. All the unit amenities were excellent. We liked the large-screen TV in the great room (would be great if a DVD player was attached).

Best things about the resort
Accommodations were excellent. Beautiful, spacious two-story cottage - two-bedroom unit and a one-bedroom lockout unit; sleeps 10 max. Gas grills were available - too cold for us to use. Large-screen TV and electric-start fireplace in the great room; all major rooms were equipped with dimmers for ambience. Small jacuzzi in lockout unit bathroom. Two and a half baths in two-bedroom; one bath in one-bedroom. Email access in the clubhouse.

Thanks Disneydiz - your post gives me hope. Of course how could you ever complain about a free stay! I did take the time to read about every resort that we thought we could manage a drive to and also considering the season. I requested Marriott's Grande Ocean in Hilton Head or King's Creek in Williamsburg. King's Creek had the availability. Since we are so limited with our schedule in the summer time, we took the King's Creek. I will try to see that show when it comes up on the Travel Channel.

Thanks, Kathleena - I like reading about cleanliness - my most important item in a good hotel room.
