Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk

This is a great family resort. Several pools, two with tube slides. Lots of things to do at the resort including golf, theater, daily activities in addition to the pools. And, Legoland is a short distance away.

We have exchanged into this resort several times - have stayed in both the Mountain Villas and Villas On The Green. From guest units with no or minimal kitchen, and 1 and 2 bedroom with full kitchen.

Personally we don’t understand why the mountain villas cost more. They are considerably smaller, The guest unit was tiny, and cramped and the 1 bedroom also much smaller. Unlesx you want to stay up at the mountain villas with its own pool, poolslide, and activity center that is good for kids, I would recommend the older but updated villas on the green. Much more convenient as it is quite a distance to the main clubhouse, restaurant, shops and all the activities at the base and requires a car or a shuttle if it is operating.

It is in a very pretty setting but you will need a car to go anywhere offsite.

Excellent resort lots to do 5 pools 4 recreation areas with pool tables, ping pong and lots more. A full workout gym. Golfing. Close to Safari Park, San Diego zoo, sea world. 1and half hour to Disneyland. Fun for adults and kids of all ages. Sleeps 8 with full kitchen 2 baths and washer and drying with view of golf coarse.

My family originally purchased this home as a family get-a-away almost 20 years ago. We have enjoyed it immensely. However, our kids are grown and the time has come for another family to enjoy the splendor of the Welk Resort. We hope that enjoy you as much as we have and make memories to last a lifetime. This particular week (26) usually includes the 4th of July week end, so there are extra activities for adults and children. It is a wonderful place!

We exchanged into the resort and were placed in a small 1 bedroom. Said it could sleep 4, but excessively tight--our guest decided not to stay over with us. Unit was clean, but in need of repairs (light switches not working properly, glass shelves in the refrigerator missing, faucets leaking) and located in a congested part of the facility. There were no elevators, but our bath was designed for a physically challenged user. They installed a ceramic bench in front of the shower head making it impossible to stand under the shower unless you were seated on the bench or leaning forward or backwards. I almost fell from getting dizzy leaning backwards to shampoo my hair. Parking was very limited, internet did not work for 4 days-which made planning our days very difficult. Warning--do not attend the presentation. Breakfast is coffee and a small muffin and the presentation lasts much longer than 90-120 minutes and you cannot leave as they bring you there by golf cart--leaving your car quite a distance away. Some units very beautiful, but all located on steep hills. Resort is not near anything--grocery store about 10 miles. Extended area (San Diego) is great, but traffic is a concern and must be considered when planning a day trip. Loved Temecula and our trip up the coast (especially Del Mar).

We love this resort! There are so many things for the kids to do and it is relatively quick access to the various zoos and amusement parks in the area without feeling like you are staying in the city.

Great location for taking advantage of all that southern California has to offer. You are more likely to have nice weather due to it's inland location. So many great pools on the property and a very reasonable golf fee. We love this resort and have been vacationing here for many years.

We have stayed here and LOVE it. Not a golfer but the course looks great! It is a short drive to train station to take you downtown San Diego, where you can easily catch tours. Avoids parking hassles.

Disappointed we had to forego this year for health issue.

The resort is absolutely beautiful with many pools and a golf course. The accommodations are updated with lots of activities available for adults and children. There are 1-3 bedroom suites.

Within approximately an hour of the resort you can visit San Diego, Disneyland, Legoland, San Diego Zoo, Balboa Park, Oceanside, Carlsbad, just to name a few. I've enjoyed many years of vacations making memories with family and friends. You will love this resort and the ability to trade your points into many other locations in the U.S. and abroad.
