I had a great time at the resort, with spacious accommodations that made my stay enjoyable. The range of activities for families was impressive, catering to both kids and adults. However, it's located a bit far from San Diego, which was somewhat inconvenient. Overall, I think it offers good value for a family vacation.

The location is nestled in the hills just outside Escondido, making it peaceful but a bit tricky to navigate at night. However, it's a great base for exploring Temecula and San Diego.

The Lawrence Welk Resort is an exceptional spot that truly feels like a home away from home. The spacious condo was beautifully updated and offered numerous amenities, making our stay enjoyable and convenient. The staff was incredibly welcoming, but the nearby freeway noise could be distracting at night. While the kitchen was well-equipped, some technology, like the TV remote, left room for improvement.

Our stay at the resort was incredible, filled with activities for the whole family and stunning views that made our mornings special. The villa was modern and spacious, perfect for a family getaway. While the pool options were enjoyable, getting chairs at the main pool could be a hassle during busy times. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, but the poolside service could use some improvement during peak days.
