Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area

Great property, location was awesome

This resort provided us with everything we needed to where we didn't have to leave.

No dislikes about this resort

The room was spacious, the staff was great and the property was beautiful

The bathroom shower was not very clean, the wait for more towels was like 2 hours, and there was much for breakfast

This resort is easy to access from I-15 freeway and is just far enouch away so you do not have traffic noise. All of their facilites are well kept.

Have a lot of activities lined up and made our stay an enjoyable one. Staff are friendly and helpful. Liked the Aqua Fit the most especially with warm water in the pool

We stayed for a week in a 2 bedroom villa. My mom had a wheelchair accessible suite and friends stayed in one bedroom villas and suites. There were 90 of us attending my daughter’s wedding. Not one complaint was said. We all loved our very comfortable beds and beautiful views. The families with children enjoyed the various pools and the bridal party rented cabanas and had lunch from the Canyon Grill.

I am surprised by the negative reviews. I traveled with a party of 5 that included three 12-14-year-olds. We found the rooms clean and spacious. Everything worked as expected. A request to keep keys active a few extra hours after checkout was granted without issue. We did many activities - candy sushi, splatter room, churros and coffee, tennis, escape room, trivia night, etc. There is a little room for improvement with these activities. All said they were an hour, but ranged from 10 to 30 minutes for us, and some were missing something (e.g., trivia and nachos lacked nachos, sushi is better for little kids, etc.). And yes, restaurants are not nearby, but we picked up sandwiches from the Market at Hidden Meadows and had burgers at Side Yard. It is a 10-minute drive, and both were better than expected. We bought snacks and drinks and used the room fridge. Easy peasy. Welk has gone up in price a lot since the last time we visited (maybe 6 years ago), but we enjoyed our stay and found it worth it. The water slides are fun, the mountain view pool was empty, tennis was easy, and free equipment rentals are helpful. To management - we spent hours planning our activities. I would like to have one document that has all the info. Even with all our planning, we still did not realize that we had missed activities that would have been good for us until we were packing to leave. I guess we will need to come back for another visit!

Looks good on the outside not so hot on the inside dirty, older and peculiar smell, especially at the restaurant. The carpet is dirty. The couch smells very unfortunate cause it’s a nice property.
