Welk Resort Group

We stayed in a Welk Resort that we found on hotels.com. When we checked in, they told us about different free vouchers for this or that if we would go do something. We were there in such a short time and didn’t have time to entertain any ideas of anything extra so we turned them down but they were all friendly. The property was pretty nice for the price. We had a really good rate for the rooms. It was an older hotel that we stayed in and a little more update would be good but we really enjoyed it. It was in Branson, Missouri and the location was really great. It was relaxed. They were efficient there, too. It was kind of a little bit out of the way, on the edge of the town, but still close. Some of those hotels are right on the strip and I don't know how those people get in and out of the parking lot.

I was at the Orange County fair and Welk had a booth set up. We came to the presentation and I didn’t really know anything about Welk or about timeshare. It was my first presentation. They were talking about a free trip so that was kinda the motivation to get out there. The property was nice. We went ahead and got the trip, but that ended up being a scam.

My wife and I first bought in 2015, an every other year ownership of 240k points. Enough for one week in a 2 bedroom in Branson, or a 1 bedroom at some of the nicer/more in demand Welk properties. Well, every other year ownership has some serious limitations, such as you can book a stay with rolled over/borrowed points a maximum of 60 days out. That was not very well explained initially and we had a hard time booking anything. The gifts they offer for sitting through a presentation rarely work out, this is partially Welk's fault for not offering better gifts, partially the gifting company to blame. In those first years, we would be on hold for hours trying to get answers over the phone.

We liked the area where the Welk Resort was in. They were in San Diego. In addition, they offered every other year kind of a situation since we had another timeshare in Lake Tahoe that was every other year. We put this one in on the opposite year, so we'd either go up there or go down to San Diego. Since Welk is a points-based system, we purchased points from them. They send newsletters every year and that keeps us posted on what’s going on with the resort, and the other properties that are associated with them. So far, we enjoy going out there. The weather’s always nice. The golfing is good. The course is challenging enough to keep us entertained. It's a nice resort and they maintain it well. Other than that, they helped us out when we were using one of their properties down in Cabo and wanted to get extra days. They’re just very helpful people all the way around. We've been happy with Welk.

Once again, my time at Sirena del Mar was outstanding. Nine days went by too fast. Just not enough time to spend not only at this beautiful resort, but with the absolute best staff around, bar none. I've been visiting Sirena del Mar since it opened in 2010. From that very first visit to this day, what has set the resort apart is the staff, both hotel and sales. The kindest, most attentive, and fun loving people around. They've become more than just waiters, bartenders, concierge, bellhops, deskmen to me, they've become friends, no, my second family. You meet them once and they remember you forever. Though people have left through the years, there are those that remain, and apparently instill the values of being great workers to anyone that has come to work there. There is always a smiling face to greet you, a fun poolside game to play, a well made drink to enjoy, and delicious food to taste.

Very nice inside and outdoors. Grounds are very clean. Golfing is great on either course. We go stay at least once a year with our family and visit the zoo and lots of other great things to do in San Diego also.

It was yet another year with wonderful service where we rarely had to ever leave the resort. The only item we would ever even with for is a connection from the main hotel to the entertainment/restaurant building that wasn't outside. We always visit in November for the Daniel O'Donnell concerts and it's usually pretty cool to push mom's wheelchair over to breakfast and/or dinner. Maybe even just even a plastic barrier to cut the wind but allow the view to remain.

Very good place to stay and enjoy the grounds. Excellent breakfasts make it so much better. The quiet rooms are a big plus. Staff is very helpful and respond to all questions. Thanks for a great visit to the area. Keep up the good work and the smiles.

The staff members at Welk Resort are very knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating. Our room was clean and ready on time. Even the slightest issue was handled quickly and expertly. We had a wonderful week, including an unexpected low score on my golf game.

The grounds at the Welk Resort are well cared for and very attractive. Rooms are well maintained. We would like an exhaust fan in our bathroom during showers. Requested a main level room and got it. Meals were very tasty at the resort. The Peter Noone Show was excellent. Being able to park, eat, have our room and go to the show all at one location is what keeps us coming back to the Welk Resort. Keep up the good work.
