Terranea Resort

We went to Terranea Resort in Los Angeles in September 2009 with our two young kids; we stayed there for 7 nights. Our stay was magnificent, the service was excellent and all the staff was really friendly and helpful.

Dinner was absolutely delicious and gave a good end to the day. Our Favorite restaurant was Mar’sel. The menu features the finest, freshest, locally-produced organic ingredients available - including a few from Mar'sel's herb garden. It is simple, modern, yet innovative interpretation of California cuisine

The swimming pool was nice and quiet with an amazing view of the Pacific Coast.


We did most of the family activities the resort offers, from competing in a friendly game of bocce ball, exploring tide pools, playing golf, kayaking along the beach cove, zooming down the Resort pool's waterslide to stargazing at night by the outdoor fire pits. Terranea provides "fun, fun, fun" for families.

My husband and I went to the Spa and it was amazing. The concierge walked us to the spa, where Mike and I were brought into a wonderful smelling private room. We were on side by side massage tables and each had our own masseuse. All I can say is that I've had a lot of massages here in the US (most much more expensive), and this was the best I've ever had.

The room service menu was really good for whenever you felt like having a snack. Room cleaners were friendly and helpful in all aspects.

Overall, the stay was awesome. It was relaxing, beautiful and just perfect. We would watch the sunrise every morning and enjoy the sunset in the evenings. It far exceeded our expectations.
