My husband and I have stayed at Welk Resorts near San Diego on two timeshare exchanges in 2009: the first week was in May at Villas on the Greens, and the second week was in October in the new Mountain Villas section. Both vacations were in the small one bedroom unit, adequate for two people, but a little on the... more

We are owners at Welk and this is the 3rd time we have stayed there. Other family members have been there an additional two times. Our previous two times were outstanding. This one was not! When we bought we were sold "Villas on the Greens" section of the resort. It is new; a wonderful size (either large or small unit);... more

We stayed at the Lawrence Welk Resort for 7 days with a timeshare trade. They have 4 different groups of buildings which are not interchangeable. They put us in a basement condo which had only a grass hill 10 feet out our door as our view. Walls were thin & we heard all the shower/sink activities of the unit above... more

We stayed at the Welk Resort in Escondido (about a 40 minute drive from downtown San Diego) for a week as part of a timeshare exchange. I read some reviews before going and was not overly optimistic but was pleasantly surprised. We went as part of an extended family vacation. We had three separated units (2 bedroom/2 bathroom) and they... more

My husband and I along with another couple stayed at the Welk Resort from Oct 3rd-10th 2009. Overall a great resort. The resort was pretty empty while we were there so we often had the pools and hot tubs to ourselves. It was well kept, clean, and comfortable. We noticed that most of the other guests at the resort were... more

I first visited the Welk Resort in the early 1980's with my Grandfather when we would play golf on their course. I never imagined that I would return there with my own family. We were in a two bedroom, two bathroom condo with a full kitchen and living room. Very nice and upscale with the perfect amount of space for... more

We have been to San Diego on vacation a number of times and have stayed at munerous Marriott timeshares as well as top notch hotels. I have to say this is the most run down timeshare I have ever been to, The resort has a new section of timeshare units which they are pushing very hard to sell (not unlike... more

I went for a good vacation with my family. I happily checked in and was off to my villa. Once i got there the rooms smelled like mold and smelled very bad. Due to my Asthma I could not stay in that room. I kindly called the manager of the resort and asked for a re-fund. The manager rudely declined... more

My husband and 10 year-old daughter visited this resort as part of a wider California visit and were very pleasantly surprised to find that the resort and the apartment we stayed in were very well appointed, thoughtfully laid out, and had pretty much anything you needed. From the reviews we previously read, we were expecting a slightly 'tired' looking apartment,... more
