Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area
We had a great time, except that the WiFi was terrible! It would work for a few minutes, then quit. Over and over and over again! This was very frustrating especially since we had almost no ATT signal. The staff was wonderful and the setting is beautiful!
