“The service at Nelson’s was amazing! The staff were so friendly and the manager (chris) was a delight. Our server, Amanda, was also amazing. She was so friendly and helpful with the menu and drinks. I will be going back and asking for her section again! :D”

“I played golf at The Links at Terranea last Saturday and had drinks afterwards. I can't recommend it enough. The course is on the most beautiful property in the world with incredible ocean views and well maintained. The staff at both the golf course and the resort were friendly and helpful, and it was just a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon!”

“We chose Terranea Resort as the place to celebrate a 50th Birthday. It was the BEST decision. What a magical place Terranea is. There are incredible views throughout the property and the sunsets were a WOW. My family was blown away with our accommodations in one of the Casitas. The staff was incredibly friendly, professional and accommodating. We ate at several of the restaurants including Bashi, Nelson's and the Resort Pool. We even got a "best wings" from our son after dining at Nelson's. Thank you to everyone for making our stay one to remember. We can't wait to return!”

“Our stay at Terranea Resort was absolutely unforgettable. The property itself is breathtaking, with stunning ocean views, beautifully maintained grounds, and an overall atmosphere that feels both luxurious and peaceful. What made our experience truly special is that this is where I was proposed to and it could not have been more perfect. A huge thank you to Corey Hamilton, who was so incredibly kind, thoughtful, and helpful in working with my Fiancé to set up such a beautiful and seamless proposal. Everything felt so intentional and magical, and I will never forget that moment. We also worked with Meredith from Zoom Theory as our photographer, and she did an amazing job capturing the entire experience! The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and are something we will cherish forever. Beyond that, the service throughout the resort was exceptional. Every staff member we encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The room was spacious and beautifully designed, and every detail across the property felt elevated and well thought out. This place will always hold such a special place in our hearts, and we can’t wait to come back and relive such an important memory. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly stunning and meaningful getaway.”
