Family-friendly Los Angeles upscale beachfront destination resort hotel
Sea breezes flows naturally at the Terranea Resort located on the uncrowded tip of the Los Angeles Palos Verdes peninsula, recalling a time of wild coastal bluffs dotted with haciendas. This large-scale luxury destination resort channels this in grand style on the singular spot of untamed coastline between L.A. and Orange counties. Unlike California of the 1800s, the Terranea Resort guests spend hours under the calming rapture of aromatic massages, delighting kids with the saltwater pool and indulging in menus designed for 21st century families.

WORST GUEST SERVICE!!!
This was our first, AND LAST, Terrenea experience. What was supposed to be an amazing & luxurious 3-day stay at Terrenea turned out to be one GIANT DISAPPOINTMENT. They have the WORST GUEST SERVICE!!! Here’s why… -After we requested for a rollaway bed for our suite, we didn’t find out until almost 8hrs since our initial request that there was no more available in the entire resort. They never even apologized for this lack of communication!! -We requested for extra linens & towels. We made at least 3 more phone calls just to follow-up on our request. Each time Housekeeping arrived at our suite, they didn’t have what we asked for. By 2am (almost 2.5hrs since our initial request), we still had not received the correct items!! -We tried to watch a movie in the suite’s DVD player. Whenever the movie would begin, the TV would either switch back to TV mode or it would play the movie with a greenish tint to everything on the screen. We couldn’t fix it ourselves so we called the Front Desk to request for someone to help us. No one ever came to give us assistance!! -One of our Bridesmaids ended up sleeping on the couch. She woke up with several bug bites throughout her whole body! This was a major sanitary concern!! ON OUR WEDDING DAY... -We requested for more tissue boxes. We got them, but then 45 min later, we got a call asking us if “someone had come to deliver the tissue boxes.” Shouldn’t Housekeeping have some type of system where guests’ requests are listed and checked-off once they are done? Why was it our job to follow-up on their staff?? -Right before we left the hotel, we wanted to take a quick picture by the beautiful fireplace in the living room. We were AGGRESSIVELY APPROACHED by two Terranea staff members who RUDELY INFORMED us that we were to stop taking pictures immediately. They told us that we aren’t allowed to take pictures inside the living room area. First of all, the living room area was almost empty. We weren’t intruding on anyone’s space or causing any form of disruption. All we wanted to do was take one quick picture by the beautiful fireplace on our Wedding Day, dressed in our Wedding outfits. We have visited Terrenea before, and have taken multiple pictures inside. No one ever stopped us. Staff members have even helped us take our pictures! We’ve helped other people take their pictures! How is this situation different when, this time, we are actually guests at the resort??!! -We had Housekeeping clean our suite for our Wedding Night & we came back to find linens bunched up in different parts of the room but our bed only had 1 white sheet and no comforter. To avoid any more frustrations, we just slept and got out of that place as soon as we can the next day!! We had initially thought of holding our 300-guest Wedding Reception at Terranea, but after such a FRUSTRATING experience, we now wonder why anyone would want to waste their time in such an IMPERSONAL and UNACCOMMODATING venue!!!

WONDERFUL!
my family and I traveled from Chicago for a long weekend. The resort, staff, food were exceptional. We encountered pleasant surprises.. a complimentary glass of champagne at arrival, a falcon demo with 3 beautiful birds and breathtaking views and walking trails. Closely located to Los Angelos and many sites such as the Queen Mary. We are already looking forward to another visit in the summer.

Lovely Hotel Too Many Hidden Costly Fees
This is a lovely hotel with so many amenities. That said, I have to explain the cons: [...]When we checked in, we discovered it cost us $20/day to park our car in the self-serve lot. At check-out, the resort fee was $25/day. For a quick weekend trip, our [...] rate had another $90 added. Plus, when we got home, we found an additional $559 on our card. We called the hotel and they said they "hold" $559 for incidentals for three days after your stay. I am upset we were not advised of this when we gave them the card. This could cause problems with daily charge limits and card usage. Anyway, aside from the unusual charges, the hotel is beautiful. I would suggest it more for longer vacations than for a weekend.
