Colonial Crossings of Williamsburg Complaint - Misrepresentation of what was to come - Time Share
Time Share - Complaint
My husband and I purchased a Time Share at Colonial Crossings in Williamsburg, VA several years ago. We were shown the drawings for what was to come....a beautiful water park....what a great place this was going to be for us to take the grandkikds to. We pay the mortgage payment every month and the quarterly Maintenance Fees. After the expected completion date went by and heard nothing more about the water park we drove there....nothing had been done...no ground breaking...nothing. We spoke with management and were told that with the economy, the Board of Directors didn't feel it was prudent to enter into any constrction loans.
Yet, I read that this is not the real reason....that the property cannot obtain the proper approvals from the County.
The folks who created this Time Share were slick....there is no mention of the "proposed' water park in the contract....yet it's what the entire sales pitch was based on....so I was told by them that there was nothing I can do. From what I'm finding, none of the re-sale places will touch this property...
If any owners want to pursue this misrepresentation of the facts, count us in. I will gladly testify to what we were told and what is the reality.

Seems you aren't the only people out there, who are disappointed with their timeshare. Lots of other complaints also regarding the water park that never opened. Not sure how this is their fault, the fault would be with the investors and contractors who were to open a water park.

Actually, it is with them....before they made the promises, they should have had the County approvals in place. When they say they said they were breaking ground yet didn't have the County permits, they lied. This is a small resort....Landor International....the only other property they supposedly own is in the Babhamas...it's just a glorified hotel that I'm paying for. They were lucky that the bottom fell out of the housing market....they've been able to use that as an excuse. But the real reason is the lack of County approval.

They should have, but hey didn't. Did you ask them if they had all the necessary permits and county approval and did they absolutely guarantee a water park was going to be built?
I understand your frustration. The good thing is, there are lots of other fun places to visit. Busch Gardens, Old Williamsburg, Kings Dominion. We vacationed there a lot, and always enjoyed our trips.

I think the OP is more irritated with the fact that they paid mortgage payments and maintenance fees for a number of years and now they have nothing to show for it.

I too have been lied to by this peice of crap company, I have took them to court but the system protects them against the owners. They lie and steal from us legally and the gov't won't do anything to stop it. I refuse to pay any more maitanance fee's. Now they are sending me to creditors trying to make me pay. I feel if we all band together and expose this company to the fullest extent maybe we can get rid of these theives. I have written to the BBB and I will find other avenues to expose thier theivery and lies. I will picket if I have to. I will call the news stations and show them everything they did to me. They are still advertising that water park on their website. When I purchased this they gave me a paper that had talked about the water park and even said they would give me so many free passes for it every year. I have a letter from York County saying they have never interacted with them at all concerning their property. The grounds are Indian Burial grounds and they have never been allowed to build what they said. Anyone want to join in with me to attack these liars or have any ideas for me please let me know. They are getting away with this because no one knows what to do to get rid of these cockroaches.
