Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area

Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area

8/10 Good
"The grounds are beautiful but the pools are small and not enough chairs at the main pool for how many guests were there and the cafe at the pool was terribly understaffed and the poor girl was slammed with no help. Our room had some bad carpet stains and our ice maker was broken but after 2 phone calls and an hour later a nice gentleman delivered us ice. The rooms are clean but not updated in style at all. We did enjoy barbecuing and the grills were very well maintained."
