Hyatt Vacation Club at The Welk, San Diego Area
The king bed was awful. One guest left because of it and my back is still hurting. The 2 double beds my kids slept on were very comfortable

Paradise Point Resort & Spa
Staff was very nice. Open 24/7 for any questions and concerns. Room had good space (we had a Lanai room) so some chairs in the front to sit.

Dated room. Silverfish in the bathroom. The floor was hot so I notified the front desk that they probably have a broken hot water pipe. I had it happen in my house when I lived in San Diego. Silverfish eat mold, which I am allergic to. I won’t be staying there again.
