Best Things About the Resort:
The accommodation was superb, and the location and spaciousness of the entire resort were second to none.
Resort Experience:
Welk Resort Villas Resort is just north of Escondido and about 45 minutes from downtown San Diego. The resort is on 600 acres in a valley just east of Interstate 15.
There is room, room, and more room. The villas are located in three primary areas: Melody Hill, Harmony Hill, and Broadway Hill. Other accommodation includes Villas on The Green, which is more of a hotel/condo arrangement. There are two golf courses on the resort, an executive 18- and a nine-hole par 3. Both are well maintained. Included in the resort complex is Champagne Village, a retirement community of double wides that are very well maintained and landscaped.
We had a two-bedroom villa that was 1370 square feet! It was very well laid out, well equipped, and overlooked a water hazard (fishing lake) by the ninth green of the Fountains golf course. All villas have a name associated with them. Ours was Laura and the building next to us was Sonata (notice the Welk connection with all the names).
