Top Rancho Santa Fe Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area

Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area

8/10 Good
"This is a tough review for me because there is nothing negative to say. The staff is really great, everywhere is very clean, and there are an abundance of things to do. We stayed in a Villa suite and it was comfortable. I especially like that the bathrooms have real doors and separate door for the toilet. That’s important when you have family staying together. The pools are small and the slides are best for kiddos under 10. I think it’s super affordable. The decor is dated and the vibe is super quiet all around so nothing really stands out. If you’re from out of town, I wouldn’t say it’s the most convenient location, but if you are looking to do a staycation and get out of the city, then it’s great."
