The Perfect California Coastal Resort
It's an idyllic California location. Feels like Hawaii without the hassle. Gorgeous setting and we stayed in a luxurious bungalow down by the water. The swimming pools are great and the food excellent. It was a three day weekend and they seemed to have some challenges with staffing but I think those smooth out under normal circumstances. Look forward to returning.

Stunning Views
Absolutely loved it! It’s beautiful, well maintained, wonderful for hiking and the views were incredible. The rooms were nice but could use a little update in some areas. But the kindness of every staff member was so appreciated and I mean everyone. I will give a shout out to Gigi and Deb the concierges, I highly recommend asking them any question you may have!

Great experience!
I stayed at Terranea while working on an event at the resort, and I wanted to recognize a few team members who made a real difference. A huge thank you to Nichelle and Breanna for their kindness, professionalism, and willingness to accommodate our requests throughout the event, your support made a busy production run so much smoother. And a special thank you to Autumn at the Front Desk, she truly went above and beyond when we needed assistance. Her exceptional service, genuine care were unforgettable. Terranea is fortunate to have such an outstanding team.

Heartfelt
Tabitha knew more about what I needed today then I did. I was having an incredibly rough morning. Took a walk to clear my head and ended up at Nelson’s. She was so sweet and accommodating and she went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and at ease. I really appreciate someone in the service industry that is that in tune to a gust needs and feelings. Thank you Tabitha. You deserve a raise!

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.
