“Beautiful location...select your room carefully to get the most of your stay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2013 via mobile

This place is incredible...beautiful views, one of the nicest spas I've ever seen and great staff.
Let me just give you some advice...my first stay, I was in a bungalow/cottage (whatever they call it) and it was perfect. The second stay, I was checked into a ground floor room. I was going to ask to be moved, but I figured that it was so beautiful here that I would enjoy it the same. It wasn't the same experience...I felt like I was in the basement and was always watching people walk by my room. Stay in a bungalow or get a higher room because you are paying for the location and should get the best view of it as possible!
I was here for a banquet...the staff and facilities for conferences were great.

“Wonderful way for a cityslicker to relax and unwind without traveling accross country.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 1, 2013

From the moment I entered the property, I felt a sense of calm and serenity. The bell captains greeted me as though they had been waiting for my arrival. Upon check in, I was greeted by name and received a glass of champagne. The grounds were immaculate and although open to the public, they possessed a feel of preservation as well as conservation. Overlooking the ocean, Terranea offers a slice of heaven here on earth. Highly recommend and will visit here again and again.

“Unbelievable views, and service.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013 via mobile

I thoroughly enjoyed myself this week while staying at Terranea on business. The views from the room, weather, food, service, cleanliness were all spectacular! I would definitely come back.

If there is anything I would suggest you bring, it's walking shoes and golf clubs.

“Perfect getaway to a calm and close to nature resort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013 via mobile

Was on a business trip and stayed here for 11 nights, oh what a place. amazing view of the sea, though it was cold and windy I loved every moment of my stay. Little far from the city center but this place has every thing you would need on a quite vacation, resort has taken lot of care to keep the property clean and green. Staff is always delighted to help you anyways they can. Resort also has a rocky beach. I could spot a lot of whales, dolphins, seals and flying fishes. Don't forget to take a binoculars along.

They also have a nice golf course.

I would definitely return but with family next time.

Cons - far from Torrance shopping street better rent a car during your stay. Anyways they do free drops to any location within 5 miles from the resort. Thanks to the travel desk they guided us for where to go for shopping and some good Indian food.

“Quite an amazing place. A serene hideaway just outside of Los Angeles.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 30, 2013

Terranea has everything that a person could want. The view is amazing and very relaxing. You don't even have to leave the resort ever! The restaurants are all very good and the food is very fresh. This is a great place for couples, families or friends to meet. I can't wait to go back!
