"Not Clean. Nothing working consistently"

Reviewed November 19, 2025 NEW

Not the best. Front desk hardly answers the phone. Areas where cleaning should happen are filthy. Light switches are gray from dirt. I wiped my self. All doors are full of gray finger prints. See picture. After I cleaned it already a bit Asked for a robe and it came dirty. Looked like food stains or chocolate (I hope). They brought a second robe that was also wrinkled & just tossed in a bag and looked simular to the first robe. Too afraid to check if it was clean but presented like the first robe. Shower is no longer running hot water. I have been waiting for maintenance for at least 35 minutes. Just came from gym. A hot shower would be nice. TV works intermittently. 3 TV’s only one is working consistently. TV never gives option to chose channel. Maintenance already fixed other tv a cable issue Ice maker wasn’t working but my fault as it was switched off. When you turn it own it is very loud. Stains on patio furniture. Too gross to sit on Stains on main couch Lap pool is closed for resurfacing Pros: Beautiful view of mountains Spacious Lots of heated year around pools but only good to splash around. You cannot swim a lap. Lap pool closed Nice gym Would not return. It needs to be renovated and more time spent cleaning rooms. I am used to Marriott properties which are always very clean and very customer service forward. Still nobody to fix shower it’s been almost an hour. Other shower has no pressure. We see men working outside but have not received communication saying ETA for hot water. May have to drive to gym to shower?

"The Welk exceeded expectations"

Reviewed November 04, 2025 NEW

We stayed for a week in a 2 bedroom villa. My mom had a wheelchair accessible suite and friends stayed in one bedroom villas and suites. There were 90 of us attending my daughter’s wedding. Not one complaint was said. We all loved our very comfortable beds and beautiful views. The families with children enjoyed the various pools and the bridal party rented cabanas and had lunch from the Canyon Grill.

"Good time for tweens"

Reviewed November 04, 2025 NEW

I am surprised by the negative reviews. I traveled with a party of 5 that included three 12-14-year-olds. We found the rooms clean and spacious. Everything worked as expected. A request to keep keys active a few extra hours after checkout was granted without issue. We did many activities - candy sushi, splatter room, churros and coffee, tennis, escape room, trivia night, etc. There is a little room for improvement with these activities. All said they were an hour, but ranged from 10 to 30 minutes for us, and some were missing something (e.g., trivia and nachos lacked nachos, sushi is better for little kids, etc.). And yes, restaurants are not nearby, but we picked up sandwiches from the Market at Hidden Meadows and had burgers at Side Yard. It is a 10-minute drive, and both were better than expected. We bought snacks and drinks and used the room fridge. Easy peasy. Welk has gone up in price a lot since the last time we visited (maybe 6 years ago), but we enjoyed our stay and found it worth it. The water slides are fun, the mountain view pool was empty, tennis was easy, and free equipment rentals are helpful. To management - we spent hours planning our activities. I would like to have one document that has all the info. Even with all our planning, we still did not realize that we had missed activities that would have been good for us until we were packing to leave. I guess we will need to come back for another visit!
