What can I say about this place except if you want to get a European style vacation without leaving the continental United States, this is the place! The spa, pool, golf course, restaurants, activity offerings, gym and the atmosphere in general was just fantastic! It was hard to believe that this resort actually borders Los Angeles. The service was also... More

Beautiful, views, top-flight staff and immaculate guest rooms - and whale plumes a few hundred feet out your door. Fantastic experience. More

We spent a couple of nights at Terranea, celebrating Valentine's Day. Can't say enough about the well-trained, professional staff. Everyone from the bell staff to the wait staff. No complaints.

I have been raving about it every since. Certainly, a... More

We so did not want to leave. Everything was perfect. Spectacular natural beauty, outstanding service, fabulous food, superb service, delightful music in the piano bar and the most comfortable bed ever. We will return often! More

Looking to avoid a long drive during rush hour on Friday afternoon,... More
