This is a very nice resort. I love the spacious condo that we had, it made for such a relaxing trip with our three children. This is a gated community and very well kept.

Liked: Cleanliness
Rooms were clean, property is older but priced accordingly.
My family's vacation was excellent. The property was safe and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The recreation areas were clean and we enjoyed beibg able to walk everywhere! I would definitely stay at The Welk again.
Clean and comfortable. Beautiful surroundings. Only downside is that the room was advertised as mountain view, but one window looked at a wall and the other was blocked by hedges
We loved the place and the staff. Since we first walked into the room, they were checking on us if everything was ok. Kids loved the pools and rec centers. Only thing was difficult to get a hold of house keeping staff to get more towels and trash bags.
We stayed at this resort due to attending a nearby wedding and were pleasantly pleased with the resort. There was a lot of space in our suite which was very helpful for family to get ready for the wedding. Many activities offered for all ages.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The resort was really great! Pools, pickleball and tennis courts!
Awesome resort with beautiful surroundings, clean rooms and great amenities. Front desk staff was rude and did not honored expedia gold status perks. Anyway I would definitely come back for a longer stay.
We loved this hotel and will definitely be back. The service was great & the room was so functional and so nice. It was like being at an apartment. Private, quiet, and very spacious and clean.
