We loved the spacious rooms - SUCH a great value and a must to have two rooms/two bathrooms/ a full kitchen and living space for a family of four with two young kids. The in-room washer and dryer and beautiful patio were a huge unexpected bonus! We also loved the tons of amenities (game rooms, fishing and beach rentals) the friendly staff, the pool options - and especially Theo, the super friendly water slide attendant!! I was initially worried about being pressured to invest in a time share, but the staff were very friendly and it was easy enough to decline. I would definitely choose the Welk again!
The furniture was a little older / uncomfortable in the unit we stayed in, and the location wasn’t the greatest (you had to bit of a drive to get to beaches or restaurants) - but that was completely expected and a worthwhile trade-off for everything you got in return.

My family and I flew out from North Carolina to attend my brother's wedding in Fallbrook. This resort was on their recommended places to stay and I'm so glad it was. From start to finish it was an absolute amazing experience staying at the Welk. Check in was fast and easy with very friendly service. The room was clean, a great size, had a nice balcony, and good amenities.
I do wish the kitchen was a little more stocked with a knife set and scissors. The shower head in the bathroom was very dated and seemed out of place for such a lovely room. All the buildings look the same so it's very easy to get lost, especially at night.

Gym was stacked with the latest of every possible kind of equipment, comparable to a 24-Hour Fitness but more well-maintained! While there weren't free weights, having a Smith machine for bench press was good enough. I was able to hit all the muscle groups in a very detailed manner. The climbing wall was a nice addition. Beats the typical hotel gym that has a treadmill and some dumbbells.
Even though the facilities were clean, the 1-bedroom 1-bath was structured very awkwardly. To go to the bedroom, you'd have to pass through the bathroom, which can get a little awkward if someone is using the bathroom. The sliding door in the closet, while it looks clean and unbroken, did not seem to be on its rails, so that door was unmovable when it should have been movable.

Large 2 bedroom villa, very accommodating with bedrooms on the sides and main living area and kitchen in the middle. Glad we had a washer and dryer inside the property too. And the fitness centers and rec centers were a great amenity that we took advantage of.
We didn't like that there were no windows that could open in the bathroom, it felt stuffy a lot since we had the heat on when it got colder in the morning and night. One of the hair conditioner bottles was nearly empty but we managed with the other one in the other bathroom. Kept forgetting to ask housekeeping about that during the stay.

Fairly easy to navigate and felt more like a community than a hotel.
The splash pad and some amenities were a little outdated and worn with ripped padding. The sheets were stiff. The oven smelled like chemicals when trying to heat food, so we had to open everything up and air out the place. The Festival Under the Lights BbQ that was advertised was no bbq. They had hot dogs and wet pulled pork in which you got a cold bun and a scoop of with a scoop of store bought mac salad and potato salad and one slice of watermelon for $18. Expensive, cold and not bbqed.

The property is always in wonderful condition, the 2-room Villa was amazing, clean and comfortable with great views. Pool areas were excellent and accommodating. Staff was the best as always, especially at both slide-pools.
Although the Villa [Annie 176] was amazing, the traffic noise from the freeway and adjacent campus road could be heard in high volume throughout the night, causing restless sleep. Specifically, the gas golf carts driven by Staff were very loud in the late evening and early morning. Food options on the campus need to be improved/ upgraded, especially in the pool areas, since food & drink are not allowed in from outside

What a beautiful place, clean air, and a view of the mountains, it's something special! We will definitely recommend this hotel to all our friends and acquaintances. Already recommend! Thank you very much, it was a wonderful stay! It is a pity that we came only for four days. We will definitely come next year!
It would be very good to write "Reception" on the building, because it is not visible from the road. And if you are going for the first time (like us), then it led to the golf club, and you had to ask and go back

The property is well organized and very nice.
The restaurant staff needs some training on teamwork. We sat and waited for several minutes and no one greeted us. We were finally told to find a seat by a woman. As others arrived well after we were, they were seated and attended to. We felt ignored. When we asked why, we were told that our server was someone else... After waiting a couple more minutes, we decided to go to Pizza Hut.

I was very pleased with the room. There was plenty of towels in the room. The pool was also nice and heated. The shampoo and conditioner smelled great!
It was hard to get to the other pools. We were trying to drive to one with a water slide but one of the roads was blocked and we couldn’t get through. We had no body wash in the dispenser so we had to use bar soap. It would be nice if the air hockey table and foosball worked properly as well.

I really enjoyed the pools and jacuzzi. They were clean, towels were provided, and the jacuzzis were hot. The grounds were in great condition, clean and tidy everywhere. The condos were well-equipped and comfortable. We ate at the main restaurant, and it was very good. Starbucks coffee and a small market on the property, so if you wanted to stay at the resort and not leave, you could. Perhaps do a small grocery shop before arriving so you won't have to leave.
The registration lobby decor and staff are a bit humdrum, so it did not set a first good impression. After being there a while I was more impressed.
