Location and Transportation

Located in the valley of Escondido, California, Hyatt Vacation Club At The Welk is near Oat Hills (4 km), Stone Farms (4.5 km), and Merriam Mountains (2 km). It is 16 km from Escondido Transit Center and 25 km from McClellan-Palomar Airport. The resort is set among a tree-lined landscape surrounded by rocky hills.

Hotel Services

Wired and wireless Internet access is available for a surcharge. A team of advisors is ready to assist with planning. The resort includes an attached museum devoted to memorabilia from Lawrence Welk.

“This Escondido resort presents itself as a haven for families, with a focus on community and recreation. The multiple pools and activities are definitely a plus for those traveling with children. While the sprawling grounds and live theater aim for a grand experience, I suspect it's the practical touches like villa kitchens that truly resonate with guests.”
