Terranea Resort

This property is gorgeous. I visited with my son, and we only stayed for 2 nights but made the most of our stay. I highly recommend Deb, the Concierge. She goes above and beyond and is truly wonderful. Bob and his team with the Outdoor adventure kayak was excellent. His team was amazing, and it was an experience my son and I will never forget. I highly recommend the tide pool excursion. The hiking trail was amazing as well right no property. The only issue I had was the price of the food and wish it was a little more affordable. Also, the price of the valet was a little high as well. But besides that, the food was excellent, the service was outstanding and would recommend to anyone.

This resort was even better than I expected! From the photos online, I was on the fence honestly. However, the resort was gorgeous!! The staff was so friendly and welcoming! We’re a family of golfers, so we golfed with our teenage son every day during the trip. We all loved the resort and especially the course. They cleaned our clubs for us after every round. I was super impressed. The resort had drivers to shuttle you around in golf carts and Lexus vehicles. We never walked anywhere unless we were intentionally hiking. The pools are heated, so even though it was January and cool outside, our kiddo was still able to swim and have a great time. Very family friendly, but also offers 21+ areas for people who want to escape the busyness. The views were gorgeous! Better than gorgeous! You don’t often get views like that in the US. Lots of dining options. I could go on forever. It was a truly pleasurable trip. We are already planning to return without the kiddo soon.

Best local staycation in Southern California hands down. Our room overlooked the Palos verdes cliffs and was steps away from the many walking paths that were dog friendly (we were ecstatic because we brought our dog). The restaurants and bar drinks were delicious. Didn’t make it to the pool, but will definitely be coming back, so next time!

Terranea Resort is my favorite resort in Southern California. I frequently have a staycation yearly. Although I live about an hour south of there, when I am at Terranea, I feel like I am in a faraway remote place with a sense of tranquility. This past year, my Dad and I celebrated our birthdays together. He turned 97 and the staff took extra special care of us and surprised us with a birthday banner in our room. The staff is friendly, and accommodating, especially the front desk, particularly Eileen and Samointe. They had great training from a previous manager, Steve Kim. Sadly, Steve is no longer with Terranea. He was a great service provider to all the guests. Gigi at the concierge also made us feel special during our stay. I plan on celebrating my Dad's 98th birthday in 2025 at Terranea. Come and visit Terranea, because you will have a memorable experience when you are there!

The resort is a mainstay in our travels. The views, the service, the grounds are all perfect. The meeting space is very thoughtfully planned and most have views. The spa was under renovation, however the way that the property used the bungalows was very effective and a wonderful flow. Catalina Kitchen was a wonderful experience- the heaters were a plus for the "chilly" nights (and even during day). Nelson's chips and dips, and tacos were top notch. The views are amazing. The service was wonderful and Megan took amazing care of us. The casitas are a perfect setup for families. We were on the first floor, and the access for the kids to kick a ball around on the turf. Sea Beans was a perfect spot for a quick breakfast (bagels, egg burritos, coffee and specialty coffees). Falcon talk was educational for both the kids and the adults. Overall, do not hesitate to visit Terranea for family, couples, or business. It is a perfect location that is close enough to LAX, however a world away from the urban atmosphere.
