Location

The Terranea Resort is a stunning hotel located on the cliffs of Rancho Palos Verdes, just a 45-minute drive from LAX. The location of the property is one of its top selling points with spectacular views of the ocean, Catalina Island and the coastline throughout the resort. Guests raved about the beauty of the property and the stunning views from their rooms and balconies. Some even suggested renting electric bikes to explore the surrounding area. Aside from the scenery, guests also appreciated the cleanliness and welcoming atmosphere of the resort, as well as the many amenities and local restaurant options. The trails for walking were also highly recommended. However, a few guests noted that some events at the pool below their balconies were quite loud and they had to wear earplugs even with the drapes and blinds closed. Overall, the Terranea Resort is a beautiful and serene location, perfect for weddings or just a relaxing getaway.

Breakfast

Despite some negative comments on the limited selection and overpriced breakfasts, the Terranea Resort still manages to impress with their delicious breakfast options, including their famous scrambled eggs. Guests can even enjoy breakfasts from the terrace of their Ocean View room or order in-room breakfast that comes with nice presentation. The resort also provides a cafe with fresh bakery and though food options can be limited during the week, they still provide guests with satisfying meals. Overall, the breakfast experience at Terranea Resort is worth trying.

Dinner

The Terranea Resort offers four on-site restaurants, but some guests found the meals to be pricey and lacking in variety for children. However, the service and food at Nelson's and Bashi were highly praised. Unfortunately, some guests experienced slow service and unattentive staff at Catalina Kitchen. While the restaurant options were limited, the quality of the food did not always match the luxurious facility of the resort and some found the average taste to be disappointing for the high price. Despite these drawbacks, the Terranea Resort offers a variety of dining options that are worth trying with a reservation.

Rooms

When it comes to the rooms at Terranea Resort, guests have had mixed experiences. Some rooms are described as gorgeous, luxurious and exceptionally clean with amazing views of the ocean and pool. The 2 bedroom Casita was also described as spacious and plush. However, some felt that the rooms were overpriced for their decor, size and amenities and felt that the carpet and room decor were average. Some guests experienced issues like an ant infestation or unclean bathroom, while others found the bed uncomfortable. The staff shortage also impacted some guests' experiences with some guests having to go down to the concierge for basic amenities like shampoo and lotion. Despite some of these issues, there were still positive experiences with staff and certain rooms. Overall, while there were some mixed experiences, the views from some of the rooms were consistently impressive.

Pool

If you're looking for a top-notch pool experience at a resort, Terranea is the place for you. Guests rave about the fantastic food and drink options available at the pool bar, as well as the stunning ocean views where you might even spot some whales. If you're hoping for a more relaxing adult-only experience, there is an option for you. Families will also love the water slide at the kid's pool. While some guests were disappointed that one of the adult-only Quiet pools was closed on weekdays, there are still plenty of other amazing options to choose from. It's worth noting that due to Covid, there is no poolside service, but the pool menus offer good options. Some minor maintenance issues like the hot tub being inoperable and early closures for some of the pools may put a bit of a damper on your experience, but overall the pool and grounds are well-maintained. Staff service may not be consistent, but the food, drinks and pool amenities make up for it.

Parking

Guests have mixed feelings about the parking at Terranea Resort. Some find it to be quite expensive with overnight valet parking costing $50 and self-parking priced at the same rate per night. However, others suggest using public parking at the hotel entrance or criticizing the resort's additional parking costs of $50 per day on top of the resort fee. Reviewers have also noted that phone calls to the front desk and activity centers were not picked up promptly. While some have had negative experiences with valet parking, finding their car left open, others have had positive experiences. Overall, guests are conflicted about the high parking fees and suggest using alternative options when possible.
