We spent a week at the Welk Resort Palm Springs in late April. This resort has the friendliest people on the staff we have ever encountered..We had a lovely one bedroom facing the golf course which had been recently refurbished. I understand that by late summer all the units will have been redone. What a great unit with everything you... More

Welk Oasis is a wonderful place to stay in the Palm Springs area. Great location to all the desert activities, i.e golf,tennis,shopping,hiking,dining out,or lounging around the pool area... the weather and pool area is the best in the area. All units are large one bedroom with a fold out couch, perfect for a couple or small family. Nice kitchen with... More

I expected a resort and this really was more of an apartment suite rental. My mistake that I thought there was daily maid service like a hotel/resort. Quite large suite with kitchen. However, the water from the tap came out brown until run out (maybe that's just the area water?), and often was not really warm. Can't fault the cleanliness... More

I stayed here 1/2/13-1/5/13 with my husband. It is conviently located right outside of Palm Springs and very close to Palm Desert. Lots of restaurants and retail around, all within 20 minutes or less! The floor plans are open, very spatious, plenty of towels/soap, dishes provided with dish soap, daily trash removal, and everything was very clean and well maintained.... More

Stayed here 7-14 Dec 12 with my wife. Positive - great location, units have a nice layout, great views from balcony, mid week house keeping and almost daily garbage collection, nice pool and hot tub, plenty of towels/soap etc, walk in closets, new appliances. Grounds are very well kept. On the negative side, it's a bit dated. It appears upgrades... More

This is our second time to Lawrence Welk (1st time for Spring Break, 1-1/2 yrs ago; this time for Thanksgiving break) and we had a great trip both times. In fact, even though we've stayed at more upscale places in Palm Springs (like the 2-bdrm timeshares at Marriott Shadow Ridge), we actually prefer it here, bcse it's a smaller, 3-story... More

So, this isn't the place to go for a party. Nor is it a Zen Retreat, exactly. It's a clean, well-kept place near Palm Springs with a lovely view of the San Jacinto mountains, and a home spun quality that makes it a sweet place to be. They offer things like "book mark making" and "make your own sundaes". They... More

We used a timeshare trade. The resort is very nice and the grounds are very well kempt. Our room however overlooked the parking lot, next to a busy busy road. Make sure you call ahead and ask for a room overlooking the pool or golf course. The rooms are a bit dated, not badly, but somewhat. Things in the room... More
