Expert reviews

CNN review:

“Just south of Los Angeles, atop the Palo Verdes Peninsula, Terranea offers ocean view guest rooms decked out with luxurious perks such as deep tubs and rain showers.”

Lonely Planet review:

“Nature trails wrap this 120-acre property, skirt the wild coast and are open to the public at LA’s best five-star beach resort. Rooms are flooded with natural light and have been designed in classic California style.”

Fodors review:

“A stunning getaway without having to go too far away, Terranea Resort is a chill Mediterranean family retreat on the Palos Verdes Peninsula about 45 minutes south of Santa Monica.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Los Angeles.

Frommers review:

“Its magnitude and amenities are unequaled in Los Angeles. Commanding 102 acres of hilly coastline, only one-quarter of which the resort occupies, its greatest amenities are fresh air, open space, and leisure to take advantage of them.”

Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Los Angeles.

The Los Angeles area is not often synonymous with natural retreats but the Terranea Resort has created a Cliffside escape with ocean views from its luxurious rooms. This Resort is ideal for anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The resort is poised about the Pacific on 102 pristine acres of land. Situated in Rancho Palos Verdes, this unparalleled resort is conveniently positioned between Los Angeles International and Long Beach airports, meaning easy access to Hollywood or Disneyland for guests.

Accommodations range from guest rooms, suites, bungalows, villas and casitas which provide panoramic ocean views at every turn. These rooms feature balcony views, free Wi-Fi, a flat-screen TV and an en suite bathroom with a separate tub and shower.

When not relaxing in his room, guests can enjoy the resort’s spa and get treated with a massage, explore the outdoor garden or get an endorphin high at the fitness center. Activities such as horseback riding, kayaking, scuba diving, whale watching and the hotel’s falconry program can be enjoyed. Tucked away, this Los Angeles resort has a culture and way of life that is uniquely it’s own and it is very easy to adopt as it is so very decadent.

Pleasant

The room view was great. The room was comfortable. The staff was great.

The hot water in the room was terrible. The shower would not get hot at all, as well as the sink. But I figured out that if I turn on the tub, sink and shower, the water will get hot after 10 minutes. On Friday at 9:30 in the morning, the cable went out. It was not back on until 9:30 at night. When I did come back on, the ability to order in-room dining and check-out did not work.

Very nice.

We live near so it was a wonderful indulgent staycation

The food does not, in any way, match the facility. It needs a serious reboot.

Beautiful resort hotel.

The facility is lovely and all service was impeccable, from front desk to housekeeping. The views, trails, amenities offered are very nice, landscaping lovely. Everything seemed fairly clean. Navigating the buildings and resort is convenient even though huge. The restaurants are adequate for the price, not exceptional. Very nice they give you two good chairs in room.

The bed felt old, bottom sheet was not well tucked in, and the pillows were awful. One light in the en suite flickered and had to be left off. And the glass doors to the en suite and to the commode slammed loudly unless we held them; simple rubber bumpers could solve this. When en suite door was latched open, the front door edge was so close that my husband's fingers got pinched when we returned to the room.

Overpriced resort; poor service; lovely location.

Clean; comfortable beds; nice spa; beautiful walks along the ocean.

Service was a total hit or miss and always slow. Food outrageously priced and nothing exceptional about its quality. Last but not least, paid for a room with an ocean view and got a tiny partial glance of the water, blocked by a huge cluster of vegetation. Went to the lobby to request a change and was dismissed coldly by a “no, this is the standard at this hotel”.

Passable

Food, pools and resort was lovely.

Our room was 4228. We had an ant infestation all over the room. We woke up and ants were all over our clothes, our bags and in the bathroom as well. We had to move rooms to 5203. Rest of the trip we felt like we were itching even when sleeping from the experience. We did not get much sleep rest of our stay.

Terranea is a luxurious family-friendly, gorgeous resort with a wonderful staff.

The resort was SO beautiful and we enjoyed every moment we spent there. The staff went above and beyond to help make it equally enjoyable to our toddler, from providing a stuffed animal at checkin to crayons during meals.

Staff was too directed by computers and hand helds that were slow or malfuncioning or they weren't trained on how to use it. Could have delivered a better service without the technology and just listen to what guest wants.

Great!

We loved everything. The whole mini vacation was a success & the view couldn’t have been any better. Once again the wife loved the whole experience.

We went for a one night stay on a Friday we just didn’t get a chance to do any activities due to all activities where either in a Saturday or Sunday.
