Magical birthday Labor Day weekend
This review is a little late because of health issues, but Samantha Jeter, director of reservations at Terranea, made my birthday/family Labor Day weekend, the trip I will compare future trips to. I can’t thank Samantha enough and all the lovely staff, for everything. I’m Forever grateful for a magical Labor Day weekend celebrating my birthday and 13 years cancer-free with my family — champagne, ocean views, thoughtful surprises (even a gift for my grandson!), and memories we’ll treasure forever. See you next year!

Best Service and Experience Ever
From the start of our stay at the resort to checking out, the staff were amazing, so helpful, and kind. Everyone from the valets, to check in staff, to the room service staff and pool staff made our trip so special and memorable. We truly felt taken care of the entire time we were there. I cannot recommend staying at Terranea Resort more. Such a beautiful resort with amazing people. My family will be coming back again and again.

Just Amazing
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My friend and I had dinner at the Lobby Bar & Terrace, and Victoria made the evening absolutely wonderful. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely kind — the kind of service that turns a great meal into a memorable experience. Her drink suggestions were spot on, and she made us feel completely taken care of. Victoria truly represents the best of Terranea. We’ll definitely be back because of her! 🌅🍸

Beautiful resort and location
We had a beautiful weekend stay in early October. The resort and grounds are expansive and lovely. We spent most of our time outdoors walking the trails and sitting at the cliff side pool. The views are amazing - we even watched a cute seal playing in the water. I could see how if the weather was not good that I would not have enjoyed the resort nearly as much as I did. Our room was nice, with a very comfortable bed. Although we had an Oceanview room, our view was primarily of balconies of other rooms. As others have mentioned, the prices for rooms/dining/drinks are very high but that is to be expected at this level of resort.

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!

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!

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.
