We have been to this resort twice. We stay at the two bedroom, two bath villas. You do hear the traffic on the highway if you stay at the villas at the entrance of the property, but if you have a villa towards the mountain and the back of the property it is quiet. My husband loves to golf, so... More

Booked this resort through RCI timeshare resorts. Second night here. Weather is great. HIgh 70s in the middle of June. Staying in Villa on the Greens. Walls are paper thin Reminds me of a low quality motel I stayed in the past. If you want a quiet place do not stay here. If you like to be loud and party... More

We stayed at the Mountain Villas, which are the newest units. Beautiful accommodations. However, if you are not traveling with younger children, then I suggest you stay at the Villas on the Greens or other units. We wanted to use the exercise room and the lap pool, which we had to drive to. Pros: Lovely unit Cons: The internet went... More

I am currently sitting in my room writing this review so you the consumer have an idea of what kind of service you might get. Granted, this may be an anomoly, but the fact that it happened does not excuse the resort from taking responsibility for their actions. I have spent the last 2 weeks here at this resort and... More

We were here for a week in February of this year, and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. This resort is located about 40 minutes north of San Diego on 600 acres near Escondido. For those of us who grew up with Lawrence Welk on TV, it is a trip back to a special time in our lives. For those who may never... More

As a longtime owner at Welk Resorts, I think the place is for the most part Class A with some things that need attention. The staff are friendly and helpful. There are some nice units and some older not so nice units. The Mountain Villas are the newest, but very noisy with a lot of traffic due to the fact... More

We found this place through RCI and I'm so glad we did. The rooms were way nicer than expected, clean and updated nicely. Everything is convenient - pool, golf (which is inexpensive) and the gym. Quiet enough location to feel like you're on vacation. They have a small store and a theater we didn't go to but it's there if... More

Conveniently located between LA and San Diego, this is a good jump off place to go both north and south to beaches and attractions. Several area airports are within reasonable commute to the resort. The resort itself is attractive and beautifully maintained, set in serene, relaxing mountains in a quiet valley, in a park-like atmosphere that offers golf and appealing... More

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 comfortable driving on California freeways. A GPS is very useful for finding your way around. The resort is themed around Lawrence Welk, with a small Lawrence... More
