Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk in Escondido, CA

We are spending a week at The Welk, in a “no step’ unit, located in the original Resort Villas area of the complex. All the Resort Villa units are 2-bedroom, 2-bath, with a large kitchen, dining room and living room. The units also boast a large patio with comfortable seating, in a loveseat size cushioned sofa, along with a table with 4 chairs. The no step units are the equivalent of ADA units at any other location. They have handicap parking for each unit, with ramped walkways leading from the parking lot to the unit front door. Unfortunately, the rampway leading to our unit has no lighting along the path, so using it after dark is rather hazardous. Once inside, the kitchen has modified cabinet hardware lowered by about 10 inches for easier opening of the upper cabinets. The counter top is also lower, as is the dishwasher, stovetop and oven. There is a cutout in front of the kitchen sink to allow a person in a wheelchair better access. Electrical switches for the range top hood fan and light as well as the garbage disposal and over sink light are all now located under the countertop, for easier access. The secondary bathroom has been modified, moving the roll in shower to an area where the room housing the toilet used to be and the toilet is now a roll in, where the old shower was. Both the roll in shower and the toilet area have grab bars installed. None of the doorways have been widened except the doorway leading into the handicap bathroom. A new washer/dryer combination unit, housed in a closet in the kitchen, allows for not having to reach up high to put things in the dryer. The rest of the unit is like all the others, comfortable living room furniture as well as a very comfortable king size bed in the primary bedroom. The secondary bedroom has two queen size beds. The living room and both bedrooms have large flat panel televisions. Electrical outlets are plentiful and lighting is adequate to read by. There are approximately 12 of the “no step” units scattered within the Resort Villas area.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. They are remodeling the resort. Lots to do and the golf courses are great. The Oaks course is very busy with multiple groups of users. The farmers market was fun. The adult pool and gym were great. They will give you a ride around the resort if you need, just text them. The kitchen worked well. My wife said the sheets were a little scratchy.

We had a wonderful time staying at the Welk resort. The staff was very friendly and helpful. There was plenty to do and see in the area and in San Diego.

Great location for golf, close to the ocean and wineries. Ths services and spots facilities are all Great.

Beautiful area and resort with lots of fun things to do. We spent a couple of days just relaxing by the pool while the kid played in the water. Everything was well maintained and clean.
