Wasn’t the best experience. First thing after checking in you are invited to a Timeshare event/tour. They were not pushy about it. The staff did try to make things right but in the end it just didn’t work out. The first room we arrived at hadn’t been cleaned, so drive back to the front desk and wait in line. They did send someone to help us move to another room. Our son was to sleep on the pull out sofa, the mattress had a big stain on it, we had to call to get blankets for it, which arrived at 10:35pm. Pull a towel from underneath the sink and it has mold on it. Back to the front desk where they reimbursed our resort fee and gave us Resort Credit. Not knowing how to use that we got instructed by the Front Desk. We were able to use it twice but then the computer system went down for the remainder of our stay which means we barely used any of that perk for the inconvenience. Would have been nice if they just took the remainder off our bill since there was now no way to use it. If the resort credit had been reliable, I would give this place 3⭐️.

This is one of the most beautiful places that my husband and I have ever stayed in. We had a villa in the mountain portion of the resort. Not only was our room absolutely gorgeous and luxurious, with two fireplaces and a fabulous patio, but the pool, waterslide and jacuzzi were fantastic as well. We will definitely stay here the next time we get an opportunity to, and I 100% recommend it for friends and family to visit!

My experience at the Welk has a lot of stuff to describe.. When I got my to my country golf house suite. It was nice like a modern mansion. It had a modern door, you can slide it. Detailed bedroom and detailed kitchen. Detailed dining table and living room. Nice and refreshing pool. Nice activities. Nice balcony view, and nice bathroom. It looked like a Hawaiian Dream resort. Friendly service, and friendly transportation. IF YOU HAVE NO COUNTRY HOUSE, COME TO THIS COUNTRY RESORT!!!

I recently stayed at the Welks Resort on the Greens in the Augusta building. We stayed in a 2 bedroom lock-off. We enjoyed the resort. The rooms are nice and roomy. I posted pictures of the room we had. My kids and I liked it but my husband prefers to stay closer to San Diego. It is a nice place and location. Hopefully he will let us go back in the future.

GOOD question . . Next time, take quick action , report to the manager , take a picture and request another room. And ask for your bill to be discounted. This is unexceptable , sorry that happened to you.!!
