Reviews for Terranea Resort
A wonderful 60th Celebration at the beautiful Terranea Resort, a weekend that we will cherish!
A slice of heaven! From our warm welcome, to the delightful bungalow with lovely amenities, fireplaces and outstanding ocean views, to the luxurious peaceful spa and cabana lunch, to an incredible dinner overlooking the beach and a casual breakfast by the beach, ocean waves crashing and with pelicans flying in formation. What more could one ask for? Terranea is a magical place. 5 star plus service where the staff are happy, warm, engaging and no request was too much for them, they made us feel so very welcome. We really did not want to leave and cannot wait to return to this beautiful resort on the ocean!

Carson is the best! (Lobby Bar)
We loved our time there, but I especially want to mention Carson, who was our server in the lobby bar. He smiled at us. There was so much warmth coming from him. He gave great eye contact and we really appreciated his service. Please give him a raise!!

Weekend getaway
I recently visited Terranea Resort and had the most wonderful stay. The staff is absolutely amazing. We started with lunch at the pool and had a spa service. It’s been recently renovated and it was lovely. We had dinner at mar’sel and celebrated a birthday under the most gorgeous full moon and coastal lights. We stayed in a bungalow with breathtaking ocean views and finished our weekend with lunch at Nelson’s. Whether you are traveling from far or just looking for a special place to book a staycation you won’t be disappointed. It’s peaceful and gorgeous while not being uptight. You could celebrate a birthday, treat yourself to a weekend away, or plan a special family gathering. I look forward to coming back.

Delightful weekend
I recently enjoyed a fantastic getaway with friends at this magnificent property that I highly recommend. Our stay was memorable not just for the stunning accommodations, but primarily due to the exceptional staff who truly went above and beyond. From the newly remodeled spa to our dinner at Mar’Sel, every experience was a true delight. If you are looking for a hotel experience where an incredible property meets world-class service, this is the place.

Absolutely Stunning in every way!!!
We had the perfect weekend at this gorgeous resort celebrating a dear freind;s milestone birthday. This is a very special hotel in so many ways!! The property is absolutely stunning on the cliffs of Palos Verdes and the views are truly spectacular. We spent the day at the spa and the service, the treatments and facility were some of the best I have every expeirenced!!! Dinner as Marsea was a culinary dream and the service was impeccable. The staff was well trained, professional, funny and very charming. It was a night we always remember. We were very comfortable in our bungalow room - the beds, the balcony with amazing views all exceeded expectations. We cannot thank the staff at Terranea Resort for making our weekend so incredible. We all cannot wait to come back and bring our loved ones!!

My wife and I just returned from a 3-night stay at Terranea Resort. We bid and won the package on Luxury Link. The resort was spectacular and the service was second to none. From the moment we pulled our car up to the beautiful entrance we knew we were in for a treat. We arrived around noon and were a little concerned that we were too early to check in, but it was not a problem and we flew through the check-in. The view from our balcony was incredible. There was nothing between us and the blue Pacific Ocean. If we had to choose the best thing about the resort (which is hard to do), we would have to say the massages at the spa were the best we have ever had. This resort is all about service. The staff always had a smile on their faces and went out of their way to make sure you had everything you needed and you were having a good time. The resort is luxury without being pretentious. I don't have a single complaint or suggestion for improving my stay. Thanks for an incredible vacation.

My husband and I just returned from an absolutely fabulous weekend at Terranea. Our 2 night package from Luxury Link included a beautiful ocean view suite, fabulous massages and outstanding breakfasts. The grounds are amazing and we never even left the resort. On Friday and Saturday they have a jazz band that plays in the lobby that was world-class entertainment. Every one of their wonderful employees went out of their way to make our anniversary weekend special. I am so happy that I took the risk of bidding on my first Luxury Link package, as it exceeded all my expectations - and I got a fabulous deal! I will definitely use this site again!

My husband and I returned from a two night stay and we fell in love with this special place. We will definitely go back again, and maybe even bring the kids next time. The service was terrific, the food amazing, and the spa fantastic!

We just returned from fantastic weekend birthday stay at Terranea in an ocean-view suite. Service was top-notch and the grounds are terrific. We watched the sun set into the ocean both nights. They even have a falconer that brings his birds out on a golf cart to deter sea gulls, including an enormous Northern European owl with orange eyes. There were great spa treatments and excellent restaurants, including the stand-out Mar'sel. We will be back.

My wife and I just stayed at the resort for 3 nights and it was fabulous. We received extraordinary service! Our meals, the room and the grounds are well worth the price we paid. We will go again and again. We can't say enough about the whole time we spent there.

When my husband and I booked our Terranea package, it seemed too good to be true. Connecting ocean view rooms, 2 massages, breakfast and parking included on a popular August weekend for $1,000? Turns out it was better than anything we could have imagined. The rooms are absolutely 5-star, and the property is breathtaking. The best part, however, was the staff - who really went out of their way to accommodate our every request. At the end of the weekend, the kids were well rested, we were well rested and we couldn't believe we never knew about this resort which is only 2 hours from San Diego. Fantastic. Perfect. Thank You.
