Reviews for Terranea Resort
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.

A perfect visit with perfect October weather!
We stayed in Villa 13-101 this past weekend for my daughter’s 10th birthday with a few of her close friends. Our visit could not have been more perfect! The villa felt spacious, comfortable, and luxurious all at the same time. It offered access to all of the resort's amenities, while maintaining the privacy of a home-like setting, which was great for hosting a sleepover! We especially loved the outdoor fireplace, private jacuzzi and backyard for the kids to run around. We were blown away by the level of service we received during this visit. The resort went above and beyond to create a personalized experience for my daughter’s celebration. We held the party in one of their lounges above the pool. Jennifer Grove made sure that we had everything we would need, and had the room decorated with party decor in her favorite color! I also want to mention the great service we received by pool attendants and waitstaff. We loved Megyn! This was by far the best and easiest party I’ve thrown for any of my kids, and certainly the most enjoyed by the adults as well. We can’t wait to visit Terranea again. There is no place like it in Los Angeles.

My bracelet went missing from my room while I was at the conference on site and the hotel and their security did nothing
My Cartier bracelet was stolen from my room while I was at the business conference and when I reported it the security wouldn’t write it up or allow me to place a report. Very scary how poorly they handled this issue.

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.
