For any travelers even considering this hotel, beware! Our experience has been a complete nightmare. The absolute worst customer service I've ever experienced (and that's when we could even reach them). The people at this property are rude, dismissive of guests concerns, and completely unwilling to remedy problems (of which there are a lot. Read other reviews). We were informed... More

Most important in my review is that the sofabed for our kids was HORRENDOUS. The mattress literally dipped on either side of the crossbar. I felt bad having them sleep on it for two nights; I cannot imagine staying at this place for a week. I had tried to cancel our booking before we went after reading bad reviews but... More

We enjoyed our stay at Welk Resort in Escondido. The resort is very nice. It is up to date and everything was in good shape. Our room was on the golf course and we enjoyed the room. Although we didn't use the pool area, we visited it iand are sure our grandkids would have loved it. It had a long... More

Wonderful visit to the Welk resort staying in the new mountain villas. Large, fully equipped with jetted tub for two with its own gas fireplace. The unit was the best we had on a recent 6 week journey. The property is very large (640 acres?) with multiple biuldings, some dating to the mid 80's. There are about 8 pools to... More

We were delighted with our ground level 2 bedroom "Resort Villa", the older units. It was very spacious, exceptionally clean and we had a great view of the Fishing Lake from our patio. We had several requests upon check-in (fresh batteries for remote and light bulb for master bath) and received them promptly within 30 minutes. During our stay a... More

We exchanged our Hyatt timeshare points for two units in this resort, through Interval International. The exchange went smoothly, and we had no problem with check-in. This is a very large resort, about 45 minutes north-east of San Diego. You must have a car to access the resort and to visit places outside of the resort, and you must be... More

Hit! Serenity pool for the 18 and older crowd and work out facilities. Miss! Lame water aerobics up at Harmony pool. Two very nice young men instructing, but there is absolutely no connection between older women well versed in water aerobics and the weak work out routine made up along the way. And how hard is it in this day... More
