Reviews for Terranea Resort
Beautiful views , vista pool for peace
Stayed for a few days ..valet great ( scanner doesn’t work so just hand the ticket-short wait) , coffee shop does good snacks and coffee but long lines in morning, Nelson’s is a wonderful view and peaceful environment, sunset by the fire pit-yes Cielo Pool in weekend w the DJ -no unless you are a night at the Roxbury lover . Way too loud and not relaxing. Vista pool..no people and wonderful views. Don’t expect the bar to be open, but what a perfect spot . Loved it. Didn’t love the guests that went ahead and brought kids up there .. there is a kid pool..that’s where the kids should go.. sometimes Adults want quiet time and hot tub . Housekeeping top notch here.. turn down service was excellent every night.. I appreciate that service so much. Bedding was excellent, view from Balcony to peaceful Ocean, wonderful Soaking tub and make up mirror, separate water closet . We had such a peaceful stay. Walked the bluffs in morning. Not sure who paddle boards from the “beach” way too rough/rocky .. maybe it’s seasonal? Felt like a lot of young people work there and they were well Trained and excellent. Loved the service , setting and the property is pristine and gorgeous. It’s been well taken care of of

An Extraordinary Coastal Escape
My stay at Terranea was extraordinary. From the spectacular ocean views and incredibly comfortable rooms to the outstanding cuisine across every restaurant I visited, this resort truly is the perfect getaway. I stayed in a Casita, and the experience was lovely. Every part of the property is beautifully maintained—from the scenic coastal trails to the stunning grounds—and it was easy to slow down, reconnect with nature, and simply enjoy the beauty of the coastline. I also appreciated the thoughtful attention to detail throughout the resort. Even the gift shops were beautifully curated, adding to the overall experience. Whether you’re visiting for a conference, a getaway with friends, a romantic escape, or a wellness retreat, Terranea offers something special. I left feeling relaxed, refreshed, and already looking forward to returning. It’s truly an exceptional place.

Great food, amazing service! Thanks Tabitha
Tabitha was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly friendly, patient, accommodating, and had such a warm, positive disposition. Everyone in our group loved her. I rarely write restaurant reviews, but Tabitha truly deserves the recognition. She made our experience at Nelson’s especially enjoyable! Also, the food was fantastic- so fresh! Our group of 4 we had seafood Cobb salad, lobster roll, brisket sandwich, and burger with fries.

Thank you, Grace, at the Lobby Bar and Terrace
Grace provided absolutely wonderful service at the Terranea Lobby Bar. She was welcoming, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful throughout our visit. Her positive attitude and genuine care made the experience feel special and memorable. Great service is about more than just meeting expectations—it’s about making guests feel valued, and Grace did exactly that. She is a true asset to Terranea, and we hope to see her again during our next visit!

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.
