"Scam vacation offer"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed July 28, 2025 NEW
Scam vacation. We were mailed an offer to stay at the Welk for a discounted price to attend their presentation. When we went to book it was like talking to a 7-Eleven worker. They literally had no idea what was going on. They tried to book us at places in a different town, said they had no availability and then told us we couldn’t stay at the the Welk just do the presentation there. Why would I be sent a pamphlet for the Welk and stay somewhere else? They refused a refund and said they were gonna charge us the full amount if we didn’t come. Honestly stay away from any Hyatt.

"Beautiful golf course. Lots to do for adults and kids. "
TripAdvisor user rating 4.0 out of 5
Reviewed July 21, 2025 NEW
Your experience is probably based on the unit that you are in. We stayed in a unit that overlooked the golf course. Very beautiful and relaxing. Every grouping of units has a pool, rec center. Lots of activities for kids. The unit we stayed in was clean and adequately equipped. There is a market on the property that we used when we forgot some at the grocery store. Pools were great.

"Disappointed in Dirty Room"
TripAdvisor user rating 2.0 out of 5
Reviewed July 16, 2025
I have stayed many times at the Welk Resort. Since Hyatt purchased the property, I have noticed lower standers in the cleanliness of the rooms. As soon as I opened the door, I was looking at dirty floors and baseboards that needed sweeping. Unpacking, I noticed spiders and cobwebs in EVERY corner of the ceiling. The next day in the daylight spiders, dust, dirt in every corner of the floor. I had to deep clean the room (with the vacuum in the room) in order to feel comfortable. The beautiful soaking tub was not secured in place and moved, the toiled wasn't secure and moved every time I sat down, our feet were filthy walking barefoot in the unit. I wrote an email to Hyatt when I returned home (complaining at the desk got an "I'm sorry." Plus I had already cleaned the room). Hyatt's response was dismissive. So I'm giving a poor review here.

"Lies, bullying and all about getting money from anyone including disabled veterans"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed July 09, 2025
My experience with Welk Resorts as a disabled veteran has been extremely disappointing and stressful. We purchased a timeshare from them, but it’s been nothing but a hassle. Since the day we signed, we haven’t been able to book a single trip. The dates and locations we were interested in were never open or available. Meanwhile, we’re stuck paying for a loan and high maintenance fees, which have put a huge strain on our finances. It’s gotten to the point where we can’t even afford basic travel expenses like gas, tickets, or food for a vacation. During the sales process, we made it clear to the staff that this wasn’t something we could afford, but they kept pushing. They told us this timeshare would be a valuable asset for our kids to inherit and even made us feel guilty for not providing more vacations for them. The whole presentation felt rushed, and we were pressured to make a decision on the spot. We were also reassured that maintenance fees would increase very little over time, but instead, they’ve gone up significantly. We’ve tried multiple times to reach out to Welk Resorts for help canceling, but we’ve been repeatedly told we’re out of options because the recession period is over. Their solution? Take out more loans or use credit cards if we want to resell it on our own. The stress and financial strain this has caused my family are immense. I feel completely misled by the promises that were made and the aggressive sales tactics that were used. I wouldn’t recommend Welk Resorts to anyone based on my experience. If you’re considering a timeshare with them, think twice. It’s not worth the trouble.

"RUN. FAR AWAY!!"
TripAdvisor user rating 1.0 out of 5
Reviewed July 08, 2025
HORRIBLE! Old , outdated, dirty rooms. Rude staff, very unhelpful and unapologetic . Save your time and money, go somewhere nice! Oh! Don't get manipulated by their sales staff into a timeshare "package" ! It's a complete GIMMICK! You never get to stay where you want during "peak times," because it's either sold out, or maybe they'll have one room available but will try and charge you $800 (more even though you already paid $1,200). THEN you'll have agents call you five times a day for the next two years trying to acting like the world will end of you don't book your stay "right now." The"tour* is you being hounded by zombie -like, pushy salesman who straight out lie and tell you anything to try and get you to buy. Don't fall into this trap! You'll never be able to get a refund if you do. You've been warned!
