During our stay, my husband rode his bike from the Resort up to Valley Center and the hills overlooking the resort.  A word of caution - although it may look like it on Google Maps, the road behind the resort going up the hills is closed to through traffic, so if you ride up to Valley Center, don’t expect a quick descent on the back-side of the hill coming back to the Resort.  

Another thing that really impressed us was the great activities offered by the Resort through the Welk Resorts Inspired! Program.  We can definitely see our kids doing the Game of Drones and 3D Printing activities when they get a little older, and of course the Craft Beer Tasting looked amazing!

​Besides visiting family in the San Diego area, we also made time for a couple excursions to some of our family spots.  Our kids love the San Diego Zoo, so of course we had to devote a day to seeing the animals.  I love the beach, so we spent another day at Coronado Beach - about a 45 minute drive from the Resort, but well worth it.  All-in-all, it was a great trip, very comfortable, and a very fun way to spend the Christmas holiday.

When we stayed at the Lawrence Welk Resort in Escondido during the 2016 holiday season, one of my favorite things to do was use the recently updated Melody Hill Rec Center, particularly the outdoor fitness area.  This was walking distance from our unit in Melody Hill, but it's available to all resort guests.  

Non-vacationing owners also have day use privileges at the Welk Resort, but there is a charge of $10 per person per day. Monthly access is available for $100 per person, or $150 per couple.  The silver lining for having to pay a fee is that unlike every other recreation center at the resort, advance reservations are not required for day use at the Melody Hill Rec Center.

Whether you're a vacationing owner at the Lawrence Welk Resort, or are using day use privileges, another benefit of the Melody Hill Rec Center is that the pool is the only adults-only pool at the resort. We love taking our little ones to the splash pad at the Mountain Springs rec center, and older kids certainly love the 120'water slide there, but there's nothing like the serenity at the adults-only pool at the Melody Hill Rec Center!  See the pictures below.

We have some great Lawrence Welk timeshare resales available at great value prices, including fixed summer weeks (26, 27, 31 & 32) and holiday weeks (51 & 52). Please call or email us if you would like more information on these Welk resorts timeshare resales.

When other timeshare brokers ask us "what's your specialty?", we always say "Lawrence Welk timeshares!"  Courtney's father-in-law, Brent W. Jex, was the timeshare industry expert in Welk Resorts timeshares.  When he retired at the end of 2016, he passed along his expertise and knowledge to Courtney.  Since then, we have successfully completed dozens of transactions at this resort.  You can find photos of the Lawrence Welk resort in San Diego on our website.

When we lived in San Diego county, our family would often enjoy day use privileges at the Welk Resort, including use of their beautiful clubhouse and pool in the Mountain Villas (see below).

When we hear from people interested in buying a Lawrence Welk timeshare, we often hear from people who already own a certain fixed-week at the Welk Resorts in San Diego (for instance, week 27), and are looking to buy another week for a friend or family member.  Increasingly, we are hearing from people interested in buying large Welk Platinum Points packages, with a lot of interest in booking winter weeks at Welk's Northstar resort. You can find the Welk Resorts Platinum Points chart here.

Please call or email Courtney Jex if we can help you buy or sell your Lawrence Welk timeshare.

One of the great benefits of owning a Lawrence Welk timeshare in Escondido, CA is the ability to have "day use" of the resort facilities, especially the pools and splash pads.  This benefit comes with ownership in the Resort Villas, Villas on the Green, and for Platinum Points members.  Even the smallest, 90k every-other-year package gives you day use at the Resort.  

Last Sunday we loaded up the kids and took advantage of "day use" to enjoy this late summer weather at the Resort.  Once you get to the Resort, simply check-in with the guest booth outside the lobby, and you will exchange your owner's card for a pool key.  Then drive to the pool of your choice and enjoy the day!  

We really like the pool and splash pad at the Mountain Springs rec center, but this is the only pool where you can't bring your own cooler of food and drinks.  You can purchase food and drinks at the west end of the pool.
