We had a fantastic time at The Colonies at Williamsburg - would stay again!
Pros:

Loved the water park, and how our apartment connected to my parent’s apartment - it was basically one giant living space for us to share!

Cons:

Our only complaint was that there was an old, musty smell in the apartment, and with that our allergies were bad.
