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.

What guests liked

All you need to know

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.

Fabulous

Location, hotel facilities are still excellent!!! Very relaxing and enjoyable.

Very Expensive, and there is no more bungalow rooms.... We were here for the honeymoon 6 years ago and we pay less than this time for a bungalow room.

Call iamb so grateful for the experience of having a relaxing two days by the pool with my kid. She

We celebrated my daughter’s fifth birthday, and all aspects was amazing. The staff was friendly, food was great and we had a amazing view from my room. My daughter and I had a blast.

Great choices for dining and drinking but I would pass on everything else.

The property location, on the cliffs of Rancho Palos Verdes, cannot be beaten for scenery and relative quiet. The restaurants are all good, as was the Lobby Bar and Lounge. The Staff was excellent. Since we live close, we will return to enjoy those again.

The rooms were overpriced based on their decor, size, amenities and worn appearance. Overnight valet parking was $50 for a spot in an exterior parking lot.

3-day convention 5 miles south cancelled, unable to cancel resort resv. elected to stay 2-nites.

Nice room, giant TV, good food at restraunts visited. Food very high priced IMHO. View from 6th floor room very impressive. Both days Hot and Humid but HVAC in room was able to keep up. Sound isolaton between rooms A+.

We were on 6th floor. Event at pool below balcony was so loud we had to wear earplugs to get sleep even with drapes/blinds closed. USB Charging port and outlet next to bed and reading light above bed were inoperative. Called for porter to pick up bags, waited on hold 10 minutes and gave up. Hauled our own bags. $50 per night for self parking is extreme rip off. Woudn't mind $25 per night. Lack of bidet on toilet was disapointing.

Exquisite property natural landscape and hotel design. Very accomodating staff.

Our major issue- there are several swimming pools advertised BUT one- our preferred - an adult Quiet pool right at oceans edge - was closed weekdays! Furthermore- the spa pool costs over $200 in excess to use and is for spa guests! Awfully disappointing. And..the doors bang shut and the way the rooms are designed- in pockets of twos- you must keep your fingers crossed your neighboring guests are quiet..don't order room service at 5am. Not our case!

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.

Breakfast was limited selection. Unfortunately, they have an excuse- because of coving…….

I understand $50 resort fee each day, but plus $50 for self parking for each day?, I am sorry, that’s a highway robbery!

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”.

Very poor

Extremely overpriced. Service is 3 star, not 5 stars as claimed. We had food poisoning. Valet parking left our car opened - which is extremely unprofessional

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.

It is a beautiful property with fantastic views and trails but just be prepared to spend a lot. It’s definitely a luxury

The property is beautiful on a cliff overlooking the ocean very well manicured wonderful trails fantastic restaurants and great staff. There’s a slide for the kids (and adults) in the pool and you have to have a spa service unfortunately it’s pricey but the relaxation room you look at the ocean through open glass French doors off a balcony and that view made it worth it for me. plus the pool servers were great! Robert and Jorge.

unfortunately the only room that we could “afford”was a double with two full-size beds just off the lobby. We still had a great ocean view but with all the weddings it was very loud and full sized beds were just hard and small for the 4 of us.
