This is our 4th year coming to the Hyatt Regency - Welk Resort. This is an outstanding place to staycation, or vacation, as a family. There are so many amenities to accommodate the stay, including; pools, spas, water slides, snack bars, market and places to dine. The grounds are upbeat daily and Staff is the best. The rooms are great but I recommend the Villas. We'll be back next year.
Loved the club house with games bathroom snack bar!! Loved the laid back relax feel at the pools and different variety. The restaurant food was very good and activities for families and volleyball and pickle ball and golf! Staff was super friendly and helpful. Great stay!
We stay here all the time and everything is always great! The kids love it. They’re renovating the market area so we might wait until later on in the year again to come back.
Such a wonderful experience for our family! We had such a fun time at all the different pools and recreation centers. The villa had a stackable washer/dryer, dishes, cooking utensils, pots, pans and other useful kitchen appliances. It really felt like a home away from home. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. Would love to visit again!
This place is amazing for families and a great place to relax and have many activities. We went to the zoo, safari park, beach, and sea world. The drive isn’t difficult. The Monday farmers market is amazing. The only down side was the WiFi and service for T-Mobile wasn’t great
Overall a good experience. The room was large and well stocked. I did find some hair in the bathroom but wasn’t a big deal. The restaurant was severely understaffed, that’s the only place to get a Starbucks coffee at the moment with the cafe market being renovated and it took close to 30 mins for two coffees. One person in front of us. The shop is expensive but good if you don’t want to leave the resort. The pools were nice and staff was so friendly! Would recommend to friends and family.
I have nothing but great things to say about the resort and we will absolutely be back.
From start to finish, we were treated wonderfully by the kind and courteous staff members. We stayed in the Villas on the Green and our room was large enough for my family of 5. AC blew cold and the bed was incredibly comfortable. My family and I enjoyed the pools/slide and roasted s'mores every evening. We made use of the full size kitchen and BBQs on property, as well. The adult-only gym was fantastic and the grounds were beautiful. Food on site is sold at a premium but there are local groceries if you prefer.
I am super grateful for an incredible stay and cannot wait to come back!
We stayed here because it was central to the weekend wedding festivities for our daughters wedding. From the moment we checked in, I knew this resort was going to be amazing. From the concierge, Leo, to the firepits to the pools to the gym. I could go on and on but all you need to know is this resort is one of the biggest and best I have stayed at.
We had a great time! All amenities were great, pools were nice and clean, property was beautiful! We will definitely be back for a longer stay next time.
Love the scenery the rooms were clean love the amenities fireplace pool game room. the downside was that the walls are super thin on our last night we had neighbors next to us they were banging loud party so much noise from 1am until 4am at least that’s when we just went to sleep wanted to complain but too tired to look for the # they should post there # in the room. Other then Thin walls we enjoyed our stay but glad it was the last night so your getaway could be ruined depending on your neighbor
